London, To-day.

LORD CAMROSE, PROPRIETOR of the "Daily Tele- graph" and Chief Assistant to Lord MacMillan, Minister of Information, speaking in the Minis- try of Information debate in the House of Lords, said that he had arranged with Lord MacMillan that he should no longer occupy an official posi- tion in the Ministry itself.

MORE JOURNALISTS

Lord MacMillan paid a tribute to the work of Lord Camrose in assist- ing him and also referred to the de- sirability of obtaining more journal- ists in the publicity side of the Min- istry's work.

He added that with all the work the Ministry was doing it was ridi- culous to think that a manager and a couple of office boys were enough. Lord MacMillan also revealed that the Blue Book on the origin of the war reached 182 destinations through-
