Cairo correspondents were inclined not to blame "Jumbo" or the censors so much as London officialdom. The U.S. press, which for the most part has squirmed silently under increasing censorship pressures, took courage from the stirring of the powerful, slow-to-anger A.P. U.S. newsmen were also heartened last week to hear England's press baron, Lord Rothermere (London Daily Mail, et al.) echo the old cry of Kent Cooper for treaties guaranteeing universal freedom of the press.

Wrote Hazlitt to his bride : "I never love you half so well as when I think of sitting down with you to dinner on a boiled scrag-end of mutton, and hot potatoes...
...half through his pedestrian, almost defensive report to Britain and the U.S. last week. Suddenly, into an uninspired voice, crept the thrust and crackle of the fighting Churchill. In one by-election after another, ungrateful Britons had turned down Churchill candidates, criticized Churchill politics. He was angry. His anger burst, red-hot, out of thousands of British and U.S. loudspeakers...
