The Right to Criticize (New York Times) In any debate over censorship the censor has the advantage because in suppressing the story he also suppresses the evidence, One can’t tell whether or not the War Department was in the right in refusing permission to Harper's Magazine to publish an article discussing General MacArthur as a Presidential can- didate. The article must have been adversely critical, for the department opined that it would “undermine the confidence of this country, Australia, and par- ticularly the troops in that theatre, in their com- mander and his strategic and tactical plans.” But these grounds are not sufficient. We are about to have a political campaign in which the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, whether or not he is himself a candidate, will be severely criticized. The effect of this criticism may be to undermine the con- | fidence of the voters—some of whom, we still hope, will be soldiers or sailors in Mr. Roosevelt’s “strategic and tactical plans.” Mr. Lincoln in 1864 underwent the same ordeal, and Mr. Wilson, in 1918, in a mid-term election, lost much of his Congressional support. And obviously a possible Presidential can- didate, which General MacArthur was when the Harper’s article was submitted for censorship, is en- titled to no more immunity than an incumbent President. The War Department censors have a case if Walter Lucas, the British correspondent who wrote the suppressed article, based his criticisms on facts which he was not at liberty to disclose. They have no case whatever if they were merely trying to prohibit adverse criticism of an Army officer.

Hillman Alex Zibio Mrs. Don Campbell Willis F. Byron Stella Dutton Mrs. Charles Eastman Elsie Gaylord JUNE 17, 1924 The House of Representatives passed a Senate Joint Resolution transferring the administratin of the Alaska game laws from the Gov- ernor of Alaska to the Secretary of Agriculture. The resolution did not affect the game laws of Alaska in any other way than the transferrence i of their administation from the Governor to the Department of Agri- culture. According to the Pacific Northwest Manager of the DuPont Powder Company, who had returned to Seattle from Alaska after having traveled over 5,000 miles and declared that Alaska's great need was for accom- modations for wealthy men, who like scenery, hunting and fishing but would not rough it. He said that Alaska was the country’s best vaca- tion trip. i .

The purpose of the action was to wipe out the con- gested condition existing at the dock on the arrival or every boat. The outlook was excellent for an increase in dredging operations in the Tanana and Seward Peninsula regions on a scale much beyond the expectations of any one until quite recently, according to B. D. Stewart, Supervising Engineer in Alaska for the Bureau of Mines, who had re- tries will be circulated to discour-| yyrned from a visit to the Interior.

OWI VICTORY The recent Congressional appro- priation for the Office of War In- formation was a real victory for patient, unperturbed OWI Chief Elmer Davis. How hot the battle was, can be gathered from an in- cident involving New York Da News columnist John O'Donnell, who was working in close contact with bitter OWI opponent Repre sentative Johr Taber of New York O'Donneli had written a long diatribe against OWI based on ma- terial allegedly received from Aus- tralia. This article came up before the House Appropriations Commit- tee, where Congressmen asked El- mer Davis about it. He then pre- pared a carefully documented answer to O'Donnell’s criticisms, Later, OWI got a phone call from columnist O'Donnell. Reaching As- sistant Director George Barnes, O'Donnell sputtered “Why didn’t you call me about this when it happened? 1 repre- sent the paper with the biggest cir- culation in the world (N.Y.
