that passage by the censor "is no

mert's approval" 1t adds that CEN
sors frequently pass dispatches con-
sidered undesirable" so long as
British security is not involved.
Responsibility" Censorship.
German and italian censorship
continues to be of the responsible
ity" type under which correspond
ents are free to telephone their news
to neutral point or send it by wire
less without interference. If Ger
many considers that dispatch re-
veals military information or dis
plays a hostile attitude toward the
Nazis the correspondent may be
expelled from the country. Under
this system a correspondent re-
Sponsible for any supposed violation
of the written or unWritten regula-
tionS is called to account and he is
asked for an explanation. If the
explanation is unsa atisfactory, Ger
many may even expel the corre-
Spondent, especially if the Nazis
conclude he is too hostile a critic.
The Italian system is identical in
method, but news in Italy is with
held at the source more effectually
than in most other countries.
While censorship grows slightly
lighter in some countries, neutral
Switzerland lays the groundwork for
tighter control of news. At present
there are no real restrictions on
sending news from Switzerland ex-
cept some common sense ones, such
as prohibition against abuse of
other countries, especially her big
neighbor Germany. However, new
regulation gives Swiss censors the
right to cut or halt news transmitted
through Switzerland between other
countries.
Japanese censorship still is strict
on any discussion of future policy,
but is not a barrier to the reporting
of events and what Japan's public
men say or do.
News of the Balkans suffers at
times from the erratic action of mi
nor officials who cut telephone lines
and try to keep news Theoretically
sealed, but they get discouraged
quickly, particularly when they learn
they have halted only details and
the chief facts have been published.

Europe's Censors
Relaxing Rules
On News Of War
Regulations Are Modified
By Greece, England and
Unoceupied France
Bv JOHN EVANS.

Associated Press Chief of Foreign Service
Europe's censors are relaxing their
rules somewhat and the world gets
more interesting details of war and
scenes behind the lines
Greece, unoccupied France and
England have modified some regu-
lations. There is no evidence that
thoughts of Santa Claus have
touched censors' hearts. 1t appears,
rather, that some countries have
learned that truth gets out in spite
of them and their Intellectual at
tempts to strangle news damages
their regulations.
Dictator MetaXas in Greece has
run his country with firm hand
for years, so there was no surprise
when military minds decided the
outside world need know of the
Greek italian war little more than
official news. Greek officials abroad
soon told their government that
such a system hurt the Greek cause
and Metaxas took the hint. In the
last few days correspondents have
been allowed to send news they
know to be true without the former
strict limitations that classified even
locations of towns as military in
formation.
Changes Made at Vichy.
At Vichy. the sudden removal of
Vice Premier Pierre Laval, December
IA, changed censorship there. The
government cut communications to
keep the news bottled up for time,
but it acted just a few minutes after
the Associated Press sent out the
story.
M. Laval was in command OF
censorship there. His cenSorS were
fairly lenient with news except
where it dealt with German activ-
tiles in and around Vichy or with
M. Laval's own efforts to collaborate
with Germany. M. Laval's dismissal
aroused much comment in other
countries and it may be that some
Of the interpretations influenced the
Vichy censorship authorities to be
more liberal, since the story was
being told in spite of them.
England's tightening of censorship
lies chiefly in permitting correspond
ents to tell with some delay what city
is being bombed. Formerly it could
be said only that ''Midlands town"
or "a southeastern port was being
hit. Berlin, meantime, always told
what English city was under fire.
Correspondents in England also
have more freedom now to tell of
things that formerly were considered
too much like military information.
A British Ministry of Information
circular says censorship is entirely

when Premier Mussolini may place
the axis nations side by side in
battle.
The authoritative newspaper
Dienst Aus Deutschland expressed
Uniformed" German opinion that
Spain would have an increased part
in the new Europe"
Gibraltar Seen Spain's.
The newspaper predicted that:
l. Gibraltar, fortified guardian of
the Mediterranean from the west,
would become Spanish "as it was
originally"
2. Areas across the Mediterranean
from Spain - apparently meaning
territory in addition to Spanish Mo-
rocco-must be placed in Spanish
control.
3. Spain thus would become ''in-
dependent trustee" for nations on
the Mediterranean or doing business
there.
4. Spain's moral obligations and
real interests" would be linked
with the axis partners, Italy and
Germany.
Neutral observers watched closely
for Soviet Russia'S attitude toward
the reshaping of Europe on axis
principles. There was no new state
ment of the Soviet position in re-
gard to German-Italian plans.
Meanwhile, the Berlin newspaper
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung de-
scribed operations in North France
as varying greatly" from the "blitz-
krieg" campaign in Flanders, and
said:
For the present the successes Of
German fighting cannot stand out
in huge land gains. Other measures
cover here. The high command
therefore becomes still more re-
served in naming names than in
Flanders"
New Military Decoration.
Hitler, who as mo. soldier of the
Reich" has followed his front lines
to the west, found time to create a
new military decoration-the Oak
Leaf to Knights of the Iron Cross.
1t will be a special decoration to
men who already have won their
Iron Cross.
Continued air raids against the
English port of Dover and air
dromes along Eastern England were
announced. At the same time AL
lied airplanes were said to have
caused little damage to military OBJ
jectives in Germany. In one bombed
German town 10 civilians were re-
ported killed.
The Germans said they shot down
or destroyed II Allied planes to 5
of their own lost yesterday. A sub
marine was credited with sinking an
Allied auxiliary cruiser of $4,000 tons
of the northwest coast of Ireland.
