LONDON, Sept. 15.--David Lloyd
George, British secretary for war,
gave the Associated Press the follow
ing statement:
erThere appears to be deliberate
campaign, set .Dn foot in the United
States by German agents, to throw
doubt on the good faith Of his majes.
tvs government in regard to the use
of information obtained through the
censorship.
These German agents appear now
to have resurrected my statement in
the House of Commons on August s,
although that statement was fully
explained by Lord Robert Cecil, min.
lister of war, on August 8, and most
explicit assurances on the same sub
ject were given by him in later
interview on August Is.
In spite Of all this, the propa-
gandists are trying to dress out my
statement as something new, nullify.
ing Lord Robert Cecil's assurances
which followed it. Let me now say
on behalf of the military authorities
that when information is passed on
by censorship to other departments
it is for the sole purpose of guiding
the action of the government in the
conduct of the war.
For instance, when we get informa-
tion that an American firm to whom
the Foreign office has given a permit
for the export of certain foreign
goods on the ground that there goods
have been paid for before the war. is

using that permit fraudulently, as
frequently has been the case, we pass
the information to the Foreign
office in order that they may cancel
the permit. Again, when we find that
neutral firm is using British bank
ing facilities for the purpose OF trad
ing with our enemies and is deceiving
the British banks in question as to
the real purpose of the transaction,
we pass that information ON to the
proper department in order that they
may refuse to license the transaction.
Or, again, if we learn that shipment
of contraband ostensibly from one
neutral firm to another, is really
destined for the enemy, we see that
the contraband committee gets that
information
THAT. frankly stated. is what we
do. But we affirm and challenge
anyone to deny 1t that honest busi-

turer is safe in the hands of the
military censors and of every other
government department as they are
in the hands of the American post
