"The most intimate relationship be-
tween Mr.. Creel and the department
has been productive Of genuine CO.
operation in a service that was new
in our country and not easy to carry
out successfully. The spirit of the
press, which periodically responded to
the appeal for voluntary censorship,
can not be too highly commended.

the governments desire to withhold no
information that did not disclose mill
tary secrets. The press had an appre-
citation of this necessity and, though
having knowledge Of movements Of
ships and troops and other military OPP

the other hand, the press gave helpful

Mr.. Creel and the department.
