The journalists are, O. D. Gallagher (Daily Express), Tom Darlow (Daily Herald), J. L. Hodson (Allied Newspapers), R. N. Walling (Reuters), W. Ford (Paramount), S. R. G. Bonnett (Gaumont British), G. Tebbutt (Australian Newspaper Services), W. M. Henry (Columbia Broadcasting Company) and F. Gervasi (Collier's Magazine).
