Churchill Speech Cited
THE recent speech by Prime
Minister Churchill in the House of
Commons served to give the Amer
ican public much important in
formation which was known to
American authorities, but which had
not been released to the American
people.
THE Advisory Committee is con-
cerned solely with the domestic
activities of the owl which are and
should be entirely factual and COM
pletely separated from the necessary
special functions of the overseas
branch of Owl. We emphasize that
the domestic branch of Owl has
for its principal task that of keep
ing open the channels of informa-
ton. This is impossible unless 1t
has full confidence and support of
public, press and Government.
Our committee has conducted a
Nationwide survey of radio and
newspapers as to whether the re-
Gently discontinued regional service
of the Domestic Branch of owl
should be resumed The survey
showed that the majority opinion
is that the smaller, streamlined serv-
ice from the Domestic Branch ade-
quately serves the purpose. 1t is the
committees belief that the closer
newspapers are to the news sources
the better the public will be served
See Valuable Service.
But we believe there is field in
which the Domestic Branch of Owl
can render valuable war service in
handling complicated departmental
and overall problems especially for
newspapers and radio stations not
adequately stated to do the job for
themselves. Its concern always must
be for factual information and never
for propaganda.
I'VE commend the efforts of Owl
officials to obtain more complete
and realistic picture of the war in
its every phase. We pay tribute to
the brilliant and courageous work of
the American war correspondents in
the field and on the seas
we believe that American news
papers themselves have the greatest
responsibility in seeing that the
public is fully informed of the prog
ress of the war always consistent
with considerations of national
security. Given the necessary CO.
operation, this job will be per-
formed"
