THE EFFECT OF A VISIT TO JAPAN.
COREAN PRINCE DISSATISFIED WITH STATUS
OF ROYALTY IN THE PENINSULA..
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH SATURDAY MARCH 17, 1906.
would be to forbid correspondents area to mention the names or numbers of units.
Lord Selborne, speaking last year, declared that the control of the Presi in time of war was a matter of the most serious importance. Yet no netion was taken on his words. During the North Sea crisis no hint was addressed by the Admiralty to the Press, and in the absence
It would seem, remarks the Seoul Press Weekly, that even rovalty is not altogether
of auch a hint the fansua anual disparitions exempt from the failing of imitation, for we read in a native contemporary that, since his which had imperilled the very existence of return from Japan, Prince Vi-Chai Whan has England were published and made the subject not been altogether satisfied with the status of of sharp comment. Probably every enemy of royalty as such in his native country. The at- this country knew from the first that the Home tentions and compliments be received while in Fleet, in a weak condition and short of conl, Japan and the State dignity which are enjoyed was in the North of Scotland; that the Cruiser by the princes of the Royal Blood in that coun Squadron had been carefully sent into port and try, have aroused in his mind a feeling of its machinery opened out, so as to render it shall wo say—"covy"? and a determination to unready for sea; that the Channel Fleet was at endeavour upon his return kers to emulate the Gibraltar; and that there was no sufficient same. One point which struck the Corean organlied naval force in home waters, But Prlace was the "dignity and influence of the even an, the disclosure of the fact in the Press Japanaze Princes as the Bulwark of the Im did no good. The carelessness of the Admiralty perial House" and the distinction observed bain falling to warn the Press, however, was in tween them and the "high officials." While in. Cores, alas the princes of the Blood are actually squetimes subordinate to the official class This being so, Prince Yi-Chai Whan intends henceforth to maintain the "Dignity of the Corean. Imperial House" and to ac centuate his own, by following the example in his household of his more fortunate brother princes in Japan. The primary step seems to be to engage a Chamberlain and a Stoward, the next to "keep a carriage, which has al ready arrived from Japan, and so enraptured has the Prince became of all Japanese custome and manners, that in the near future there seems every probability of his merging his own manners and customs into those of the in- habitants of the "Land of the Rising Sun". Truly all, even Princes, are but human.
SECRECY IN WAR-TIME.
|
exact keeping, with the gross negligence which had created 10, graven danger. We shall continue to hope that with its enormous ma» fority the Liberi administration will at once carry a measure which is just and necessary. And in so doing, In the words of a writer in the Daily Mail, "secure the country against one of the gravest and most needless perils to which it is now exposed."
The large majority with which the Liberal Government has returned to power should en able it to pass a measure which is absolutely necessary from the standpoint of national. security. This measure should be one giving the Government power to apply, by Order in Council, certain restrictions upon the freedom of the Press in time of public danger. The publication of all naval and military news, 'other than that sent out by the Admiralty or War Office, should be forbidden, and all com. ment upon such news which has not been sub- mited to the naval and military authorities should also be placed under the, same ban, Such a measure would be welcomed by jour nalists generally, who do not know how or where they stand, and are under the present conditions in serious difficulties in time of war or diplomatic tension. The more honourable the newspaper, the more reputable the four nalist, the more at xious both will be to disclose nothing which can injure national interests. But so long as no restraint is imposed, the scrupulous who refrain from publishing naval and military news can render their country no service, as some otherjurnal is almost certain to divolge what should be kept secret, and
would perhaps in this way be likely to obtain the credit and circulation which fall to those who achieve what is technically known as a "beat" fi must be remembered that in tine al danger the public want to know the naval and military movements, and thus a high premium is set upon such news.
It is quite a mistake to suppose that the Press is not anxious to keep vital secrets. One great difficulty is to know what secrets are vital. In the recent war in the Far East the definite and detailed news of the sinking of the Japanese battleship Yashima reached one great London journal. The telegram contain. ing that news was destroyed, and not a word on the subject was published for six months, And then only when the disclosure of the fact could do no harm. Here there could be no doubt that the secret was a vital one. Again, the exact whereabout of Admiral Togo's fleet before the battle of the Japan Sea was certainly known to one London newspaper, and probably to several others. Yet again not a word on Once more the subject appeared in print. there could be no doubt as to the important nature of the secret. These facts at least show that journalists of the best class can be trusted, but their efforts to withhold important informa tion might at any momeni have been rendered" fatile by some indiscretion of the more careless or ignorant. Most of the reputable journals, And particularly the Daily Mail and Morning Post, have in editorial articles welcomed the suggested enactment of a clear and definite -law on this subject. A free Press may be the gravest of dangers to a nation on the eve of war or during a great struggle. Tn avert defeat and disaster the Press must be prepared temporarily to surrender part of iis freedom when an emergency nrizes.
