NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Newspapers, 1411 | Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. | A FREE WORLD PRESS Recently Representative Fulbright offered a reso- | lution in the House calling for international agree- ments to guarantee freedom of the press and radio as an aid in preventing future wars. This has been promptly followed by Mr. Taft's resolution in the Senate and by the framing of a State Department proposal which may be submitted soon to other mem- bers of the United Nations. No single step, if it could be achieved, would be more important than this in making a durable peace possible. | The lessons of the last decade must have made plain to everyone how close the connection is between | a free press and peace, as well as between a con- trolled press and war. When a controlled press exists in any country there is a two-way blackout of in- formation. The people of that country not only do | ot know what the people of other countries are | doing or thinking; they do not really know what their |Mr. Vinson, for example, pointed out last April that | own Government is doing, and they do not know what the best informed persons and their own normal leaders of opinion are thinking. The people of foreign | countries do not know what is happening in that country except as official propaganda and uncon- firmed rumor inform or misinform them; nor can the people of other countries reach the people of that stabilization Acts, Mr. Vinson, in reply to a direct| A meet- |question, declared: “As far as I am concerned T have| it country to exchange information and views. ing of minds becomes impossible. To the evils of mere ignorance are added the far greater evils of | poisonous propaganda. aggressor and would-be aggressor nations begin long before their attacks abroad to control the press snd: other avenues of information at home. | It will, of course, take more than mere acceptance of a resolution, more than mere lip-service, to secure a the Republicans would have to share part of the | genuinely free world press and world radio. It is obvious that no future German or Japanese Govern- | ment should be allowed again to suppress a free press | and free radio and to substitute official lies and hatred | directed against the rest of the world. But a more | difficult problem is suggested by the case of France, ‘;Democrnuc and Republican candidates, instead of | where the new regime has already adopted a press | law providing for the sequestration of any news- “paper published in France during the German oceu- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1944 pation and virtually requiring any paper subséquently published in liberated France to support the de Gaulle Administration; a similar law provides for control over the radio. Surely care must be taken to see that such regulations are only of the most temporary nature. What, again, of the problem of Russia, where the newspapers are owned by the Government and can- not be anything else than its mouthpieces? Even in America, finally, there are indirect threats to the freedom of the press through the discriminatory ap- plication of tax, labor or other laws ostensibly directed toward other objects. A revision of our radio law is Inecessary so that broadcasting stations can be more securely protected than they are today against partisan jor arbitrary action by governmental agencies. But it is precisely because of such obstacles and difficulties that it is so impotrant, as an initial step, to try to secure some international agreement to protect the freedom of the press and the radio. The Line Against Inflation (New York Times) A Washington dispatch to this newspaper reports that “according to informed Government -circles” President Roosevelt “is expected personally to make a decision granting some appeasement from the wage freeze of the Little Steel formula.” It is indicated that this might be done some time between now and election, possibly around mid-October. If any such action is taken it will amount to a repudiation of the policies and promises that the Administration has heretofore made. In his Executive Order of April 8, 1943, Mr. Roosevelt said flatly: To hold the line we cannot tolerate further increases in prices affecting the cost of living or further increases in general wage or salary rates except where clearly necessary to cor- rect substandard living conditions. The only way to hold the line is to stop trying to find justifications for not holding it here or not holding it there. No one straw may break a camel’s back, but there is always a last straw. We cannot afford to take further chances in relaxing the line. We already have taken too many. On the first anniversary of this “hold-the-line” order this year a joint statement signed by Fred M. Vinson, the Director of Economic Stabilization; Chester Bowles, the Price Administrator; Marvin Jones, the War Food Administrator, and William H. Davis, the chairman of the War Labor Board, declared: The general level of the cost of living has not been permitted to rise. Indeed, the cost of living as a whole is slightly lower than it was a year ago today. * * * Only by decisive action to halt the rise of wages could the pressure of costs on prices be kept within manageable limits. Such statements were supplemented many times by those officially responsible for stabilization policy. if labor were successful in its effort to smash the Little Steel formula it would be a “short-time winner at the economic roulette table.” Everyone, he ex- plained, would be the loser in the price rise and in- flationary period sure to follow. Even more important, | in his testimony before a Senate committee passing on the extension of the Emergency Price Control and no intention or purpose to break the Little Steel formula.” In view of the circumstances under which It is not by accident that it was made, this statement may be regarded as a | pledge which Congress took into consideration in its revision of the Price Control and Stabilization Acts. If the President at this time should smash the |Little Steel formula for political reasons he would | precipitate a dangerous inflationary situation. But blame. In their platform adopted in June at Chicago, instead of supporting unreservedly such efforts as the Administration has made to hold the line, they con- demned among other things “the freezing of wage rates at arbitrary levels.” The country can be saved from a nasty economic situation only if both the playing for the votes of pressure groups, take the question out of politics by unqualifiedly declaring a common purpose to hold the line against inflation. e 13 Tt | california downed UCLA, 6-0.
