Things Will Change" If US Policy Does

HER

SHOES BEFORE ANYBODY

Lake Success, Oct. 13. The Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr Andrei Vyshinsky, today appealed to the United States to return to its wartime policy of co-operation.

Then, he promised, "things will change”.

Mr Vyshinsky was speaking in the United Nations' Political

Committee during the debate on the seven-Power plan to give

greater powers to the General Assembly.

Mr Vyshinsky asked, "Is not the root of the evil the

political approach to questions?

"Policies have been changed from the wartime policy of collabora tion to the postwar policy of toughness - policy," he declared.

Government And The Press

Public Relations Office, judged in

Turder of size and precedence, is not

very important in the hierarchy of Government departments, and because of its "Youth" and novelty, probably does nut strike the taxpayer as being worth any loss of sleep. Yet, despite its ap parent insignificance, the Publle Relations Olive and its successful and effective operation is of moment to the public. Vague though the functions of an officiat PRO may be to the average person in Hongkong, his duties are, in fact, needful and valuable. But their effectiveness must depend very considerably on the attitude of official collengues and the de partments they lead. The point is well made in the unnubiI PRO report just Issued. Well made because the writer of this report has found it necessary to emphasise the fact that Government de- partments are beginning to appreciate the value of channelling Information to the Press through the Public Relations Oflice. It

an encouraging sign. inasmuch that memory serves to remind that sonte Government departments have long been loth to channel any information about their activities either directly through newspaper reporters or the offciut Public Relations Ollice. "The Public Relations Officer has some- times experienced difficulty in securing answers to press questions," complains. the PRO report. How very true! And kow bitter the same experience of local news paper reporters who, for the past twenty, fifty, one hundred years, have tried to accomplish the same mission The Government PRO in 1950! The anilpathy of some Government departments to the Press (and their downright refusal to try and appreciate the functions of the news- papers as reporters and interpreters of the events of the day) has, in this Colony, more than anything else prevented the general public from being given essential information at the proper time. There

are pleasing exceptions which could be recorded and it can be stated that laudible endeavours have been made to bring

about a better understanding between the Press and Government. But rearing its ugly head still is official obstructionism, usually reflected by, what to the news. paperman appears to be, a wilful confusion on the part of departmental spokesman between factual information and high policy. "Policy", in fact, has long been the safe grouml to which a departmental chief retires when confronted with a Press inquiry about some new projeci-be it elther constructional or social Polley, which in government always seems to imply if not involve top-level secrecy, is the constant bugbear of newsmen in dealing with officials, and, if the report is not mirend, hos given the government PRO a similar headache. In the interests of the public who look to the newspapers for news and feformation in Government und its project», things would be much heads improved if official departmental could be given a clear directive as to what constitutes Polley (and therefore not usually directly. quotable in the Press) and what represents Information, which can be quoted to whatever extent a newa- paper feels it is worth. Possibly because this has not been clearly defined to de- parimental chiefs the PRO finds it necessary to protest that "too often the representatives of the Press regard the Public Relations Office as a source of in- formation which properly should be secured by reporters." But then, to the head of a department the item of interest might appear to be high secret polley If disclosed to a reporter, but to the PRO (who is in the secret) it is news to be used nt his discretion. The newspapers loth to ask a PHO to do a job which they would prefer to do themselves, but if the reporter is denied Information on some- thing which he knows could and should be made available, his only resort is the PRO-and then, very often, it is mude more in faith, ihan expectation.
