...often used on news of warship movements, and was prominently used in 1935 during the Ethiopian crisis, when newspapers were ordered not to print the departure of the British fleet to the Mediterranean. No "D" or any other kind of order, however, has ever been issued forbidding the report of a responsible Cabinet Minister's speech; in fact, such an order seemed a clear infraction of freedom of the press...

...Council performed creditably in making definite out of vague criteria. But this is only rationalizing a weak report, for when this is done, there is little accomplished. Since the House admission problem is an insoluble one, what is needed more than set criteria is a more perfect way of applying these. It finally rests with the Masters to progress in this direction, although they must be encouraged and guided on the road...
