War News
washington POST


The decision to establish routine check on the
suppression of news by commanders in the field is
minor victory for the office of War Information 1t
will give Elmer Davis better opportunity to review
all news that is withheld from the public and should
thus strengthen his influence upon the Army and
Navy in behalf of freer policy We Tear, how
ever that those who in the new procedure revo-
luton in our overcautious policy will be disappointed.
Public relations chiefs of the Army and Navy have
been under obligation in the past to divulge all news
from the battle fronts to Mr.. Davis in their daily
conferences On occasions however, significant
events along the lines of battle have not been COM
municated to the Owl chief. Army and Navy theatre
commanders have apparently not relayed all the news
in their possession to their headquarters in Wash
ngton Now they are under instructions to release all
news that will not be harmful to security, and II
they resolve the doubt in favor of suppressing news
the fact must be submitted promptly to Washington
for review by the Army Navy and owl. We may
assume that military authorities here will usually be
loath to reverse the Judgment of commanders at the
front as the release of facts bearing upon their own
operations Nevertheless the arrangement should give
owl officials a somewhat comprehensive view
of the war and the fact that suppressed news
is to be reviewed in Washington will doubtless have
salutary influence upon commanders who are
inclined to hamper factual reporting without good
reason stE
Every prospective gain of this sort will be well
coined by the news-hungry American people, for we
still have long way to go to bring our war news
policy into line with the best democratic practice.

CONSIDERATIONS ABROAD

In considering the part that the United States
should play in European postwar settlements we
must consider differences in the positions of our
country and those of Russian and English allies
While it is to be admitted that, within the limita-
tions of the Atlantic Charter have certain general
rights and obligations relative to European settle
mens it is questionable to how detailed our rights
and obligations should be.
The Baltic States, Finland and Rumania are
touching the borders of Russia. Naturally enough,
the details of settlements finally to be effected there
will be largely up to the Soviet The same is true
in regard to England and certain of the smaller
nations bordering on the Channel and the North
Sea- 1t is true that America has played and Will
continue to play tremendous part in the final
victory But that should not lead us to exaggerate
our position in relation to our Allies
Both Russia and Great Britain have played an
important part in South and Central America Ger
many was fast becoming our No enemy in That
part of the world She had built up intricate and
extensive political and business organizations Her air

SCHOOL BUDGET

A. school budget of S124,205 was
presented to the City Council last
night and accepted. This total
shows an increase of approximately
$4,000 over last year, the larger
amount being necessitated because
of repairs to tine building and a
raise in teachers salaries.
Upon the appearance of D. B.

The invading forces were being
assisted by Albanian and Yugoslav-
ian guerillaS forces, while prepara-
tionS have been mace for the Greek
guerillaS to fight as a unit with the
Allied troops in the Balkans.
The announcement indicated that
most if not all of the internal strife
in Greece has been eliminated. For
long periods during the resistance
movement the country had been
virtually in a state of civil war, with
the various guerilla groups contend
ing against each other for power
rather than devoting all their eff
forts against the Germans.
The agreement follows closely a

Cabinet to include four communist
members as well as one each from
