CENSORSHIP RELAXED IN CHINA
* (Rec. 12.5 a.m.) NEW YORK. Sept. 18. “Although Marshal Chiang Kaishek has not given concrete orders to relax the censorship that has been strangling China for years, he orally advised the board of censors to pass within reason everything factually true,” says the Chungking correspondent of the "New York Times.”. “Delegates to the People’s Political Council have never spoken so sharply as now regarding corruption, inefficiency, repression, the shocking. treatment of Chinese soldiers, and other evils of a moribund regime. Never previously have Chinese newspapers reported speeches and criticisms so fully, and .there is no telling what good things might happen once the people are able to talk frankly about the bad things.”
