PRESS CENSORSHIP
MORE COMPLAINTS IN LONDON London, May 8. Mr. Aneurin Bevan, M.P., presiding at a meeting representative of all sections of the newspaper industry, and held under the auspices of the National Council of Civil Liberties, said that fresh interference with the liberties of the Press might occur next week if information he had received was correct. The meeting passed a resolution protesting against interference with the free publication of news and opinions, and declaring that the use was being made of Regulation 2 (d) which Parliament never intended. Mr. Bevan said that the Government must be convinced that it was not necessary for it to fight the British people; it had enough to do in fighting the enemy. Mr. E. C. Castle, night news editor of the Daily Mirror, declared that 60 per cent, of his work and that ol his colleagues was being suppressed. "There is a deliberate, definite, and damnable censorship of opinion going on," he declared.
