MINISTER WRITERS
MR BALDWIN’S BAN QUESTIONS IN COMMONS (A. & N.Z.) LONDON, April 19. In the House of Commons Air T. Johnston and Mr J. R. Clyncs closely questioned Air Baldwin in reference to Lord Birkenhead’s past and Air Winston Churchill’s forthcoming articles in magazines, in view of Air Baldwin’s ban against Ministers writing for the press. Air Baldwin pointed out that he had always distinguished between journalistic articles on controversial questions and literature and historical or philosophical writings, also between contributions to the daily and weekly press and in books and magazines. Air Churchill had undertaken that his contributions would strictly conform with the, embargo. Lord Birkenhead’s recent article dealing with the position of women certainly touched the fringe of current controversy and in a sense was different from the general view of the Government, but it was only an isolated chapter from the book Lord Birkenhead was writing. The worst he could say was that Lord Birkenhead was guilty of an error of judgment.
