Sir Andrew Caird, in giving "Our Cuts, alluded in terms of eulogy to the assistance which both the guests had given to the Press throughout the war, and commented on how, owing largely to
the endeavours of Lord Burnham and
Sir George Riddell, there had been a marvellous change in the relations be tween the Government and the news papers themselves: Sir George Riddell, he remarked, had supplied the ginger at Whitehall, and had fought the battle of the newspaper correspondent.
