NEWS FROM PACIFIC.
CORRESPONDENTS RESTRICTED. NEW YORK, July 7. Correspondents covering the Solomons offensive ore “trying to cope with, the worst situation since Singapore,” so far as giving the. public an accurate picture of events is concerned. The restrictions are not locally imposed, but are said to emanate from quarters far removed from the lighting. Joseph Driscoll, correspondent of the “New York Herald-Tribune” in-the south IPacifie, wrote: “While crucial battles are raging, American, and. Australian correspondents arc waging tempestuous fighting of their own against a return to the hush-hush policy. Per months correspondents have been assembling, making contacts and studying the lay of the land as preparation to report a renewal of the Solomons campaign. Now the war has actually resumed they find themselves super-censored on matters not affecting security.”
