The Ambassador in Great Britain (Page) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

1454. Your 922, January 9. Press despatch censors hold to their contention previously reported to you that to inform senders of the stopping of messages would defeat the purpose of the censorship. A sender who was using a concealed code would know that he had been caught and would try another.

Your 923 will be complied with.

American Ambassador
