Mr. Whyatt said that the term "Press Co-operation," lacked a clarity and position of definition. Did it mean, he asked, that the press should report only what the magistrate permitted them to re- part? Did it mean that the press must suppress the report on request of the magistrate, otherwise "out they go?" If it did, Mr. Whyatt continued, "it constituted the sug- gestion of an insidious inroad into the liberty of the press which has no warrant, for there is no au- thority in English law."
