He called attention to “a dangerous psychology of over-censorship,” and at the same time announced that a liberalized set of regu- lations for voluntary censorship would be issued It has taken a long, long time, however, for the Office of Censorship to wake up to what has been going on. We point out as the most recent example of how the average uninformed military mind works concerning censorship, the following: Shortly before Christmas, in North Carolina, a rail snapped and a passenger train jumped the track, killing one, injuring several.

As soon as the public was excluded, Senator | Taft of Ohio produced a two-page letter from one of his big constit-| uents, Warner & Swasey, machine-| tool makers, of Cleveland. In the letter, Warner & Swasey complained bitterly about the policy | of renegotiation — in other words, scaling down excessive profits from cost-plus war contracts. These con- | tracts had to be let in a terrific rush, many of them without eithe: side knowing what costs would be.| Hence, both the Army and Navy, together with many patriotic busi-| ness leaders, have later scaled profits downward on the theory that industry should not profit| from the war.
