LIEUT. COLONEL CUSSEN described briefly the work of the Ministry of Information and stressed that Press censorship is entirely voluntary. He said that the Press feel at this stage that they are themselves capable of deciding whether or not information to be published will affect the war against Japan. The Chief Press Censor works solely on Defence notices and, in any case, is powerless if the Press do not consult him prior to publication. He suggested that it might be effective if some form of approach was made to the Press on the Subject.
