Recentiy the State Department nd Reuters, the British news| gency, engaged in a controve: 25 to whether or not Reuters slant- rd its news to favor Bfritish in- (erests. Apropos of this, certain Japanese f1les, seized since the war, are re- vealing. In 1939 the Japanese sold their entire salmon catch, partly taken off the shores of Canada | and Alaska, to British firms. This was announced in Tokyo and start- cd to cause a furore in the Cana- dian and English press. However, tne Mitsubishi firm in London stepped in and used its influence with Reuters to kill the story Here is an interesting Jap letter irom the London office of the Mitsubishi firm, telling their head otfice in Tokyo how they got Reu- ters in London to lay off the story. Dated June 22, 1939, the letter states: SLANT | argreat shock t~ at such details of b X were disclosed in Tokyo; and as we in that this would cause Ity in various publiched in papers, r hard to per de Reuter rot to publish same. They first in- sisted that they vs maintained | a neutral attitude as regards the hapdling of news and they were not in a pesition to create or ig- nore any news in the interests of the parties concerned. “We stated that their Informa- tion was incorrect. Fortunately we could insist that their news was ac- tually incorrect although in minor points. Finally with the kind as- sistance of Mr. Hasagawa, the head of the Domei news a cy here, Reuter agreed to kill this news so far as they were concerned. “We immediately arranged with Mitsui that thag would take a sim- Jar attitude if approached by Reu- ter, and in fact. Mitsui were later asked a like B8 by Reuter, which ‘*hey handled accordingly. Our Mr. Kawamura and Mr. Mat- sumoto, Manager of Mitsui,’ jointly mvited Mr. May, Commercial Edi- tor of Reuter, and Mr. Hasagawa to lunch on the 12th, when a friendly discussion took place and ‘Mr, May fully appreciated our pe- sition and agreed that he would first refer to us whenever he re- zeived important news on business with Japan, not only salmon but other commodities.” The letter went on to complain, however, that the Sunday Dispatch of London did not suppress the | most | atomic bombs, iielligence was carried Ammy and Navy, with the FBI op- | | accused 5 did the Daily d various other papers.
