FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
Sir,—l was away in the Bay of Plenty on a political campaign when you asked for my authority for statements I made in a letter on “The Freedom of the Press," and which you did not publish. The first statement referred to a letter by Mr. G. B. Shaw, the Dean of Canterbury and other prominent figures which the London Times refused to publish. The reference is found in ‘Soviet Strength,” by the Dean of Canterbury, page 118. The letter, in brief, warned Britain against being embroiled in war with Russia over Finland. The other statement referred to the action of the News Chronicle in turning down a letter by B} e , Dean of Canterbury, which predated the defeat of the German Army by the Soviet Army and which imolored assistance to the U.S.S.R. This is ound in the same volume, page 123. r „, , .R. T. KOHERE. iThe correspondent, in the balance of us letter, seeks to refute certain 'negations which have not aooeared in his journal.—Ed. Herald-1 * '
