Letter from Percy Cudlipp, Editor, Daily Herald (2-12 Endell Street, Long Acre, London) to Kathleen Hill, Secretary to WSC, in reply to her letter [CHAR 2/393/98-101] disputing that he had distorted WSC's words to make a hostile comment. He explains that a number of national newspapers interpreted WSC's words in a similar way; that he does not think the Daily Herald "was unfair in referring to a "promise" by Mr Churchill to sink all German ships on the Skagerrak and Kattegat [between Denmark and Norway]."; and that he feels WSC's speech gave the public an optimistic impression.Signed typescript.
