Kirchwey, Freda | April 8, 1944 issue

add to cart close window

This article presents information about political situations prevailing in the U.S., as of April 8, 1944. Governor Thomas Dewey has charged the U.S. State Department for asking the British censor to suppress political news sent to newspapers in the U.S. by the U.S. correspondents in London. The other concerns oil shipments to Spain. Both illustrate the disingenuous, if not downright dishonest, manner in which the State Department is accustomed to deal with the press and the public. On January 28 the department announced that the loading of Spanish ships with petroleum products for Spain had been suspended pending a reconsideration of trade and general relations between Spain and the United States.
