Hull: Governor Dewey wrong
Washington (UP) –
Secretary of State Cordell Hull said today that Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York was “100% wrong in the accuracy of his statement” that the State Department had requested the British censors to suppress political news sent to the United States.
Mr. Dewey said last week while awarding prizes at the annual exhibit of the press photographers association of New York:
When we find the State Department requesting the British censor to suppress political news sent to American papers by American correspondents abroad, it begins to amount to deliberate and dangerous suppression of news at home.
