...Education, and his loyal "Harry Hopkins," Louis Esselen. More & more he tends to see himself in the role he has always cherished: an enlightened, holistic statesman of the Empire and the World. He likes to move at the center of things: he popped up rather unexpectedly at the Cairo Conference last November and met Franklin Roosevelt for the first time (they had often talked over the transatlantic phone). Later Smuts said: "We two old Dutchmen get along splendidly...
This week came a contributing cause to the A.P.'s anger: personal interviews with Marshal Tito by Reuters' John Talbot and TIME'S Stoyan Pribichevioh, passed by "Jumbo" Wilson's censors. By arrangement with Cairo's military authorities, their stories were pooled to the U.S. and British press. The A.P.'s story remained a dead bird in "Jumbo's" pigeonhole...
Forbidden News. The A.P. was not the only collector of data on "Jumbo" Wilson's censorship. Other details leaked out. All Balkan stories having political implications had to be sent to Cairo, and Cairo's British censor was notoriously heavyhanded. On Cairo's official taboo list: any story about the National Liberation Front inside Greece; full reports on the Jewish-Arab question...
...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.

Declared Viscount Rothermere: "A free press is apparently a greater deterrent to the making of war than anything that...
Izvestia cannot be the vehicle for "unofficial" attacks on foreigners such as Zaslavsky's, or for such items as the Cairo "separate peace" rumor that recently perturbed the Allied world (TIME, Jan. 31). When Izvestia called the Vatican "pro-Fascist" (TIME, Feb. 14), it presumably spoke with the full weight of the Government. This is one of the few clues by which confused foreigners seeking to read the Stalin mind can decide what is "official" and what "unofficial" in the Soviet press. In general, U.S. correspondents say, Soviet editors are now free to report routine domestic news without consulting...
