Mr. King, in the resolution I have quoted, charged the head of the Bureau with exercising inequality as between different newspapers. Now this amounts to a charge of deliberate unfairness which it is very difficult indeed to accept. The House of Commons, in fact, did not accept it. None the less, the fact remains that not once or twice, but over and over again, news has been allowed publication in one paper and refused in another, not merely as between London and the provinces, but as between London newspapers which are, necessarily, keen rivals. In support of this assertion I will quote one of the strongest supporters of the Government among the London newspapers--the _Daily Chronicle_. There will be no question of political partisanship about this. After quoting the views of the _Times_ and two Liberal papers--the _Star_ and the _Westminster Gazette_--the _Daily Chronicle_ said: "The methods of the Censor are, certainly, a little difficult to understand. There reached this office yesterday afternoon, from our correspondent at South Shields, a long story of the sinking of vessels in the North Sea. It was submitted to us by the Censor, who made a number of excisions in it. The telegram was returned to us with the following note by our representative at the Press Bureau: "'The Censor particularly requests that South Shields be not mentioned, though we can state "from our East Coast correspondent."' "In the meantime the evening newspapers appeared with accounts of some occurrences in which most of the deletions made by the Censor in the _Daily Chronicle_ report _were given_! The Censor made the following remarks and excisions in the 'copy' submitted to him by the _Daily Chronicle_ representative at the Press Bureau: Excisions in "Daily Where the Forbidden Passages Chronicle" Report Appeared "Please do not mention Shields occurred in the reports that this came from South in the _Star_ (three times), Shields." (Note by the _Evening News_ (once), _Pall Mall Censor.) Gazette_ (three times), _Globe_ (three times), _Evening Standard_ (three times), _Westminister Gazette_ (once). "Within twenty miles of _Star_ report stated: "The the mouth of Shields harbour"-- trawler was sunk thirty miles (passage eliminated). E.N.E. of the Tyne." "Landed a cargo of fish This identical phrase, or its at Grimsby." ("At Grimsby" effect, appeared in the _Star_, was eliminated.) _Pall Mall Gazette_, _Globe_, _Evening Standard_, _Westminister Gazette_.
