NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Blde., Seattle, Wash. FREEDOM OF NEWS Collier's Magazine raises what fs obviously a timely point in its plea for a world-wide freedom of | news collection and transmission after the war. The periodical believes that the prospect of lu,\an‘ peace will be much greater if the American and other | news agencies have free access to convenient and | economical transmission facilities without the burden of government control and censorship. We heartily agree. And the time to plan such an arrangement is now—in order that when peace comes it can be embodied in the understanding of the nations. Puior to the war—and unquestionably helping to create the necessary preconditions for war—most of the nations had government-controlled news s Germany had DNB, Japan Domei, Russia Tass, France Havas, and even the British Reuter’s, while privately owned, enjoyed what amounted to government sub- sidy. As Collier's points out, the British monopoly, Cable and Wireless, Ltd., has a flat e of 1.7 cents Washinglon Merry- Go-Round He is crooner, Glenn who twice high office will test our Senator D. | Worth Clark, Democrat of Idaho, in the Idaho primaries Tay! a word between empire points, so that it is often more economical for American news services to route dispatches by Cable and Wireless than to send them direct to this country. ' During the early stages of the present war the Axis news services, government subsidized, were of- fered to South American newspapers at a very much lower rate than the American news agencies could afford. This was a perfect example of the use of news for political purposes, because of course the items relayed by the Axis news agencies were colored to suit the Axis point of view, and legitimate news was heavily interlarded with totalitarian propaganda In the post war world we hope to see an end to the tight censorship which characterized so many of the government-controlled news agencies in the prewar period, and the establishment of facilities whereby all the news agencies can enjoy the freedom of transmission which alone will enable truth to reach all corners of the world. Kent Cooper, General Man- ager of the Associated Press, has proposed that the American news services combine their foreign coverage after the war in the interests of efficiency and econ- omy. That may be a step in the right direction and help to alleviate the advantage enjoyed by the foreign government-subsidized agencies. As long as news can travel freely throughout the world, we are likely to have international uhderstand- ing, and therefore peace, When the channels of news are controlled by various political regimes, the result, over a long period of time, is likely to be the opposite. La Pr sna (Washington Post) La Presna of Buenos Aires is not only one of the greatest newspapers of the Argentine, it is one of the truly great newspapers of the world. An ornament of free journalism evervwhere, it has long been re- garded by Argentinians as a great national institu- tion, so much so, in fact, that it was La Presna’s great rival, La Nacion, which recently the seventy-fifth anniverasry of La Presna be made the occasion of a national celebration. La Presna, of course, was a thorn in the side of the Farrell regime, and, accordingly, a government decree has been issued suspending La Presna for five days. The action shows far more fear than temerity | The men who actually pull the strings in Argentina did not dare tell the truth about the suspension. They said that La Presna had been critical of the way the Buenos Aires hospitals have been operated! The real reason, of course, is that there is no place for a free press in a totalitarian dictatorship such as now exists in Argentina. Here is another demon- stration that Farrell and the crew behind him rep- resent in this hemisphere precisely the same noxious forces that we are fighting in Europe and Asia. We can have traffic with those forces only to our own ultimate hurt. That pestilential regime must be completely quarantined by all decent governments of this hemisphere and the world if the plague is not oo > IRES, TUBES ISSUED BY BOARD LAST NIGHT The following is a list of tires and (June 13) lor, the cowboy before has won the Democratic nomination for the Senate from Idaho, once in 1940 _ (Continued irom rage One) to will the seat of the late Sen-|tubes issued under quota by the ——————— ————— — l.tor Borah.
