Letter from [1st] Lord Northcliffe [earlier Alfred Harmsworth] (The Times), to WSC, First Lord of the Admiralty, stating that at the request of the British Embassy, Berlin [Germany], he was reluctantly holding back news about the German naval scheme, complaining that the Foreign Office, while using the press "as a sort of doormat" were always talking of its "Dangerous tendency", also commenting that the Government were not very able in their management of the newspapers, and that his papers the "Times", "Daily Mail" and "Evening News" had been really helping them over the last two or three days "almost against their wish".
