Alaska Newspapers, 1411 PRESS FREEDO The general public and many statesmen have placed world-wide freedom of the press as one of the beginning points for world-wide freedom. It is, indeed, a very necessary prerequisite. But, alas, it has been too widely supposed that a true international freedom of the press can be achieved by the lofty rhetoric of treaty, or by pronunciamento of the United Nations Organization. We only wish the task were that simple. Seymour Berkson, General Manager of the Inter- national News Service, discussed the problem very cogently and realistically recently in Editor and Pub- lisher. And he emphasized that while a UNO decree of “freedom of the press in all countries and no cen- sorship” would be a good beginning, it would be only a beginning, and in itself valueless to achieve the practical result of world-wide press freedom. True freedom of the press depends on many things —among them the press itself. First, of cour: it depends upon che general climate of liberty in a country. Half the people of the world do not enjoy liberty in their daily lives; it is too much to suppose that newspapers can exist as a thing apart from the Public. The excessive regimentation of the individual is certain to be reflected, in some degree, by the abridgement of freedom of the press—because nowhere can newspapers be edited and produced atlogether inanimately. Mr. Berkson believes the fundamental guarantee of freedom fof the press should be written “clearly and forcefully into the constitution of every country,” and the broader the declaration, the better. Beyond that, he says, each government should guarantee to abstain from government subsidies or secret financial mani- pulations to gain control of any newspaper or news agency. There should be no special taxation or other penalties to restrict the operation of newspapers—and beyond that, according to Mr. Berkson, there should be reasonable efforts to facilitate newsmovements, and ~!they go far in that direction—much farther than the | |to keep the price of newsprint from being higher than it need be. . | So much for the political and governmental con- ditions. Trere remains what the newspapers and news- papermen themselves must be to achieve true freedom of the press. Since financial stability is one essential requirement venal influences, Mr. Berk: abroad fix standard adve: depend upen advertising and circulation rather than (as has been too often the case) subsidy and payments for editorial influence from various individuals and interests. He also advocates higher standards of pay foreign editors and reporters, since many baneful customs have arisen from inade- quately paid newspaper staffs. It remains, then, for the newspapers themselves to adopt and live up to the | precepts of ethical journalism. In aggregate, all of Mr. Berkson's suggestions perhaps do not comprise the full formula for true world-wide freedom of the press, but n urges that' the revenue | for lofty but limited resolutions so fr ently advocated as the abracadabra which we need only to mumble w" achieve the ideal of world-wide freedom of the press. | Job Well Done of a paper able to resist subsidies or, press | ing rates, and leain mx THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1946 A A L APRIL 24 Esther Sorensen G.

It was a job made necessary through the! decision early in 1942 of Gen. John L. DeWitt to exclude all Japanese-Americans from the Western Defense Command, of which he was at that time the! commander. His exclusion order has sincé been vali- dated by the Supreme Court on grounds of military necessity. For our part, however, we hold still to the | opinion we have expressed on a number of occasions that the exclusion was altogether unnecessary, that it was prompted much more by blind racial prejudice than by military considerations and that the Supreme Court's validation of it amounted, as Mr. Justice Murphy charged in a dissenting opinion, to a “legaliza- tion of racism.” less minority remains a smudge upon our national honor and a threat to elementary principles of freedom. | ! Once the exclusion error was committed, guardian- ship of the uprooted Japanese-Americans became a Federal responsibility. They had to be kept in de- tention centers until they could be relocated in parts of the country other than the West Coast. Theburden of discharging this unhappy obligation was given to an emergency agency, the War Relocation Authority, headed at first by Milton Eisenhower, later and through ' most of its existence by Dillon S. Myer. It performed its task with humanity, with efficiency and with a conscientious sense of trusteeship toward the evacuees which made some amends for the terrible hardship inflicted upon them. All the men associated in this undertaking, and in particular Mr. Myer, who fought valiantly and pertinaciously against prejudice for the rights of these unfortunates in his charge, can take pride in a difficult job exceedingly well done. When at last the Army rescinded its exclusion | order about 57,500 evacuees moved back to their former homes in the West Coast States. But about 51,800 setfled eastward in new homes. Perhaps the dispersal will have scme benefits in better integration of the Japanese-Americans into the American society. The loyalty of those left here has been meticulously scrut- inized. Out of the whole numper in the relocation centers, scme 3,000, including quite innocent family members, were transferred to internment camps ad- ministered by the Department of Justice; and about 4,700 persons were voluntarily repatriated to Japan— many of them, no doubt, because the treatment they | received here convinced them they had no hope of | leading free lives in America. 1t seems to us that Swe owe those who remain generous help in getting reestablished and restitution for their property losses. tion races uer Aleman, with The treatment accorded this help- hculd not permit their children's ots to add to their burdens and irritations.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS Industrial unrest will continue for some time but business should be well on its way out of the post- war inactivity and confusion in a !few months. NATIONAL ISSUES There is no indication that uni- versal military training will become a part of American life, though it is possible that much more will be heard on the subject and another effort may be made to “sell” the country on it. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Realism is likely to be the dom- inant note of this nation's foreign policy when the checker-playing by the big powers is completed. Cnly the great and powerful na- tions can preserve the peace, and first of all they must preserve it among themselves. Rights of smaller nations must be recognized and respected, but smaller nations should not be permitted to disturb the harmony of the world by de- manding redress for imaginary wrongs. Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A heart- warming experience very soon and a full year of contentment. Children born today will be bright, honest, dependable and should enjoy long and useful lives. to the simpte, rugged comforts of the farm. ¥ New Ambassador Espinosa de los Monteros comes of a different background. Sccially prominent, he’ arrived in Washington with plans to hold a big reception as soon as his family was settled. But after one brief inspection of the big stone house on Sixteenth Street, he changed his mind. Now, five months later, all is transformed.

A. —AMBASSADOE CASTILLO'S CHICKENS— Some 3,000 Washingtonians had their first look around the Mexican Embassy 'in many years during the sumptuous reception given April 23 by Ambassador Espinosa de los Monteros. At that time old-timers could hardly believe their eyes. During tre ten years of Francisco Castillo Najera’s stay as Mexican Envoy to the USA, social func- tiens at the Embassy were few and far between. Castillo, now his coun- try’s Secretary of Foreign Rela- tions, is a brilliant statesman but not much for night life. Born and brought up on a ranch in northern Mexico, he has always been partial capital’'s diplomatic show places.' He has done a beautiful job, and' the place is a credit to Mexico. But members of the Ambassador's | personal entourage still shudder“ slightly when they mention those first days of housecleaning. It wasn’t so much the litter of odds and ends that shocked them, or the worn rugs, the commodious but hopelessly shabby armchairs, the battered office furniture, or the paint peeling off almost every wall. What really floored the fastidious new Envoy and his staff was the auxiliary pantry, next to the ball- rocm. There, they discovered, con- firmed rancher Castillo had kept a large brood of hens.
