War News (Washington Post) The decision to establish a routine check on the suppression of news by commanders in the field is a minor victory for the Office of War Information. It will give Elmer Davis a better opportunity to review all news that is withheld from the public and should thus strengthen his influence upon the Army and Navy in behalf of a freer news policy. We Tear, how- been under obligation in the past to divulge ail news from the battle fronts to Mr. Davis in their daily | conferences. On some occasions, however, significant events along the lines of battle have not been com- municated to the OWI chief. Army and Navy theatre commanders have apparently not relayed all the news in their possession to their headquarters in Wash- ington. Now they are under instructions to release all news that “will not be harmful to security,” and if they resolve the doubt in favor of suppressing news, the fact must be submitted promptly to Washington for review by the Army, Navy and OWI. We may settlements we | and English allies. within the limita- | ave certain general detailed our rights are Naturally enough, The same is true of the smaller loath to reverse the judgment of commanders at the front as to the release of facts bearing upon their own | operations.
