What About
The Censor?
British Baiileship
Arrival al N. Y.
Raises Question
fEditorial)

THE surest way TO bring
censorship. which some
times admittedly is necessary.
into disrepute is TO make it
ridiculous.
Now that the first censor
ship incident" in connection
with Americas new status as
an ally" of Britain has arisen.
The Times believes the Amer
lean people are entitled 10 be
let in on the discussion.
IL is no secret today on the
Atlantic seaboard that a Brit
ish battleship entered New
York harbor Sunday morning.
The man o war was to be
locked at Brooklyn navy yard
for repairs as result of having
been torpedoed by a German
submarine.
Some New York news
papers ut once published a
complete account Of the
ships arrival, with pictures,
and with details Of the
battle in which IL was dam
aged.
Thousands of New Workers.
saw the vessel riding at an
Choir.
Accounts of the ships ar
rival were broadcast by radio.
Nevertheless, Secretary Of
Navy Frank Knox. himself
publisher of one of the ma
tons largest newspapers,
asked that the ships arrival
be not reported.
Today he had issued a state
ment, this time FOR PUBL
CATION, commencing press
associations, newspapers,
broadcasters and Photographic
agencies for Cooperating" as
most did, The Times having
been one.
Knox points out that the
Lease-Lend bill makes the
United States a repair base
for British war vessels"
Since" he said, "the Unit
ed States has promised to give
all aid to Great Britain. so far
as repairs are concerned, it
seems to me it is our patriotic
duty to keep such information
about British war vessels TO
a minimum.

SEEK WORKERS
FOR ENGLAND
Local Employment Office to
Recruit Skilled Men for
British.

The Ely Office of the Minnesota en-
ployment-security division, along with
other division offices in the state, is
now ready to recruit workers for civil
ian service in England.
Victor Christgau, the Divisions di-
rector, following the initial announce
ment last Friday of Paul v. McNutt,
federal security administrator, today
sent detailed information and forms to
all of the 81 operating offices the
division has in the state.
The way is now open for interested
and qualified persons to obtain de-
tails as to employment opportunities
for volunteers in the British civilian
technical corps.
Jobs that will pay from $24 to $38
a week are available to men between
1880 years of age who are skilled as
radio mechanics, electricians, filters,
machine tool settlers and operators,
automobile mechanics, metal workers,
instrument repairers and engine room
ordinance, and electrical artificers. In
addition to wages, the British govern
ment will furnish board, lodging, uni
forms, and medical care, as well as
transportation cost to the point of
service and return.
Persons interested in this employ
ment should contact the local en-
ployment Office of the division at 209
East Sheridan street, which is in
charge of Edward C. Stonich.
The British civilian technical corps
is a uniformed, but non-military and
non combatant, body of paid volunteer
civilian craftsmen, established to main
tain and repair technical equipment
used by the naval, military, and air
forces of the British government and
it's allies.
U. S. citizens may join without loss
of citizenship, as no oath of allegiance
to the British crown is required. Ac-
ceptable volunteers will serve for three
years or for "the duration" which ever
is the shorter. Local draft boards
have been authorized to defer volun-
teers who are accepted, and the British
authorities will release them if the
u. S. government should require their
services in this country.
In making the announcement, Mr.
Christgau emphasized that this en-
| p1oyment is only to persons who
have the required technical training.
