Giving The News
At the present juncture the aerial war has entered a critical phase, and operations are in pro- gress which demand the obser- vance of the strictest reticence. At all times in war, and especial- ly just now, it is axiomatic that military considerations must govern the communication of news to the public. Information, if only inferential, which would be of value to the enemy or de- trimental to discipline must be withheld; and the decision as to what may be given out and what must be withheld properly, resty with the Services directly con- cerned. But when those reser- vations have been made, is it not possible to enlighten the Empire and the outside world less sparingly as to the nature of the deeds that are done, and the ex- periences that befall the men by whom the brunt of the war is being borne? After all, the
