RESPECTABLE PRECEDENTS. / by CABLE—PRESS AfSOCI ATION COPYBCGHI. Received 10.15 a.m. to-day. V LONDON, March 3. In the House of Commons, Mr T. Griffiths (Labour), in the course of a question obviously aimed at Mr Winston Churchill’s war .book, suggested that it should be a condition of accept- . ing a Ministerial office that confidential information gathered while in office should not be used subsequently in Press articles for money. The Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin stated that the present practice was to preclude Ministers from practising as journalists in any form, but the prohibition did not extend to the authorship of books on literary, historical, scientific, philosophical or romantic subjects, for which there were numerous and respectable precedents.
