BRITISH PRESS IN WARTIME In a pamphlet issued by British Information | Service is an account, interesting to Americans as | well as to British makers and readers of newspapers, of the effects of the war upon the British press. In 1938 newspapers and periodicals were using between 21,000 and 23,000 tons of newsprint weekly. This rate has dropped to 4,850 tons. The Newsprint Supply Company, a non-profit corporation, has cooperated with Paper Control, a Department of the Ministry of Supply, which fixes the tonnage, in distributing the allotment equitably. Most papers have but four pages, the Sunday papers six to eight. The Times of London and The Manchester Guardian have from eight to ten pages, The Daily Telegraph has from four to six. Circula- tion has generally gone up, but The Times and The Telegraph have deliberately decreased theirs, the former by 25, the latter by 30 per cent. Reports have to be cut to the bone, some subjects or sections omitted and photographs used with the utmost economy. Restrictions by Paper Control and the news- papers themselves have changed the former 1 to 2 ratio of advertisements to reading matter to about 1 to 3. Rates have gone up 20 to 50 per cent. The Government, allowed an extra 2'; per cent discount, pays about 11 per cent of the whole expenditure for advertising. A third of British newspaper men is in the armed forces, many are doing other war work, to which also 100,000 printers have been transferred. The local weekly newspapers are holding their own, but fifty-eight would have to go out of business if they Jost just one more employee. Most are being-published by men over military age, with the aid of men re- turned from retirement, the medically unfit and boys and girls. One printing staff consists of six boys whose ages range from 18 to 14, In London and the provinces many newspaper establishments weer smashed or damaged in the bom- bardment of ‘40 and '41. Many of them had “alter- native” plans se that they felt insured against the blitz, but The News Chronicle lost not only its orig- inal but its duplicate plant. The energy and never- say-die spirit of British newspaper men have suf- ficient witness and praise in thé fact that “only one paper missed publication and that for a single issue only.” Thus is carried on, despite the rigors of war, that “liberty in the purveyance of news and expression of opinion praised by Wilkes in his North Briton (1762) as the ‘birthright of a Briton and justly esteemed the firmest bul k of the liberties of this country.’” (Crimean History (Cincinnati Enquirer) The reconquest of the Crimea by Russian forces adds another dramatic chapter to the history of the peninsula, already distinguished on the pages of European history. It was in the Crimea 90 years ago that the famous “Charge of the Light Brigade” took place. The Cri- mean War, between Turkey andd Russia, with Great Britain and France supporting the Ottoman Empire, began in 1853. The Russians crossed the Danube before English and French aid swung the tide of war in the favor of the Turks and thrust them back again -a naval bombardment of Odessa being one factor in the defeat of the Russians. The allies—England, France and Turkey—landed | an expedition on the Crimea at Eupatoria, and began }siegc of Sevastopol on October 17, 1854. The Russian { garrison held out for nearly a year. The famous battle | of Balaklava, in which the English Light Cavalry | Brigade was almost totally destroyed in a reckless | charge, occurred on October 25, 1854. This memorable | charge upon a strong Russian position was made by | the Earl of Cardigan in obedience to a mistaken order | down a long valley swept from both sides and one | end by Russian cannon. The Russians sent more reinforcements into the | Crimea in an effort to relieve Sevastopol. | Bloody battle of Inkermann 8,000 British troops held their ground against 50,000 Russians for seven hours, the Russians giving way when a force of 6,000 French | appeared. In that campaign the allied armies suffered more | from disease than from the casualties of battle. The | mismanagement of the commissariat in the British Army left brave sodliers dying from hunger, cold and disease within a few miles of ample suppiies. The English cabinet fell as a result of indigation stem- | ming from this mismanagement. Incidentally, Mis: Florence Nightingale—patron saint of the Red Cross | and nursing in general—headed a band of volunteer nurses who went from England to minister to the British soldiers in their sufferings on the Crimea. The Crimean War ended in the spring of 1856, a million men having died in battle and of disease. | But if the nineteenth century siege of Sevaslopol | was dramatic the Soviet defense of the Black Sea' | naval base against the Axis was even more heroic. The months-long stand of the Sevastopol garrison two ! yeasr ago was one a par with the successful defense of Stalingrad and Leningrad. The Germans, we ven- | | ture to say, will defend the city neither so long nor 50 \alomu y. Knox led off. | ially | executives—as he vately- ; (Continuea irom Page One) listened.
