With reference to your minute of the 20th
January forwarding a minute by the Provost Marshal on the
subject of an interview which he had had with Messrs. Hale
and Cartwright of the Hongkong Daily Press regarding a
letter on the subject of the pay of Cable Censors in the
issue of January 19th., I am directed to inform you that
His Excellency the Governor does not consider that the
letter in question goes beyond the limit of fair criticism
of the action of the Government.
2.
The only restrictions which have been put
upon the local press are-
(a)
.diel,yaonal drei ‚anoxgnoйl
(b)
3.
That no reference shall be made to the Movements
of H.M's ships or to Naval and Military oper-
-
ations this of course does not apply to
general war news of an unobjectionable nature.
That the action of the Censorship with regard
to telegrams or press matter shall not be re-
ferred to, or commented on.
His Excellency has discussed this case with
His Excellency the General Officer Commanding and it was
agreed that the best course is to let the matter drop.
Lieut. Colonel H. W. Iles, R.A.,
General Staff Officer,
Hongkong
