General Staff Officer,
>
In accordance with your instructions, I sent for
23 15 Megars Rale and Cartwright of the Hongkong Daily Press with
reference to the attached letter which appeared in their paper.
I informed them that this was a direct hit at the
Military and Civil Authorities and that it had been taken
exception to by both the General Officer Commanding and the
Honourable Colonial Secretary.
The two gentlemen in question stated to me that this
letter was in no way intended as such, but was inserted merely
as a matter of public interest. I asked then why they had
put in no Editorial comment on the subject, when they stated
that this was not necessary as it was an understood fact, that
they did not necessarily agree with their correspondents.
I informed them both that should such a letter be put
in again, they would have to bring the whole of their paper
to General Staff 3 for censorship and that this particular
letter should have been laid before him being a matter
connected with the war.
On this Mr. Cartwright asked me by what authority we
could insist on a paper being completely censored; I informed
him, Military Law. He then said, "Are we to make no comments
against the authorities, because if so, it is Autocratic
Government. He stated that the Solicitor General in England
had taken a newspaper to task for criticising the home govern-
ment and that in the House of Commons he had been forced to
"climb down. He said that should he be obliged to bring the
H
.
paper for censorship, he would, of course, obey, but would
report the matter home.
