THE CENSORSHIP
OBJECTION" MADE IN THE LORDS.
(Received Last Night, 9.10 o'clock.) LONDON, Nov. I, In tho House of Lords, Lord Morloy asked if tho Government would prevent tho censor from interfering with news unless it was calculated to prejudice naval and military operations. Ho deplored tho effect upon the neutrals of the ostrich-like activities and childish insincerities of the censorship. Earl Crewe, on behalf of tho Government .pointed out that there were difficulties in calling tho s rivy Council together..., Tho Lord Chancellor had said that a strict and vigorous censorship was required for tho safety and protection of the troops. The world at the present, moment was as a whispering gallery. The debate was adjourned. Lord Morley said provocation was caused by tho interference in tho publication of news of universal interest. Everything which made tho enemy think wo were afraid, encouraged him. He referred to tho Waleheren axpedition of 1809 and the subsequent committee of enquiry. If tho Dardanelles became as unfortunate, he believed tha,t Parliament would not hesitate to ask for the papors, and to take other steps. . i
