The recapitulation provides adequate answer to the question of what the American Red Cross did during the war. and ove: Courts and the Press (Washington Post) There is cause for satisfaction in the Supreme Court’s latest reaffirmation of the principle of press freedom, put the exercise of this freedom which gave to the ¢ determined by the Court recently, Craig vs. Harrey, can afford the newspaper profession no occasion st all for pride. The case entailed the validity of a ruling by a Texas county judge that the publisher, un editorial writer and a reporter of news- papers published in Corpus Christi, Tex., were guilty of contempt of court. The newspapers had érroneously reported 2 trial conducted by ihe judge, had nounced his decision and disparaged his competence while a motion for retrial was pending before lLim and had threatened him with “the wrath of public opinicn.” Mr. Justice Douglas, delivering the verdict of the Supreme Court, said of the news stories that “they did not reflect good reporting, for they failed to reveal the precise issue before the judge” and of the editorial comment that it contained “strong language, intemperate language, and, we assume an uanfair crit cism.” It can scarcely be denied that the newspapers were guil the very least, of irresponsibility. But irresponsibility is not to be equated with con- tempt. The Supreme Court held last year in a case involving the Miami Herald and earlier in the Bridees case, that press comment on pending cases is punish- able by contempt only on a showing that the utter- ances created a “clear and present danger” to the administration of justice. This is, we think, the only sound standard that can be applied. For fairness, like truth, is indeterminable. a ne aper by threatening to punish it for contempt whenever he deemed its cgiticism ,unreasonable or irresponsible, freedom of the press would be inhibited indeed. It would be naive or worse, however, to gless over the danger which irresponsible press criticism presents to the independence of the judiciary. Mr. Justice Jackson, in a dissenting opinion, made an impressive argument that the conduct of the Corpus Christi newspaper did, in fact, present a ‘“clear and present danger” to the administration of justice. “The judge” he said, put in a position in which he either must appear to yield his judgment to public clamor or to defy rublic sentiment.” Judges are but human; they should, of course, be impervious to criticism and to popular sentiment; but they may not be— especially when, as in this situation, they are elected for a brief term. Yet every elected official, legislative as well as judicial, is subject to such pressurs. We do not see how they can be assured of immunity from it without a fatal impairment of press freedom. The issuc before the Supreme Court really entailed a weighing ot relative dangers—the danger of news- paper irresponsibility as compared with the danger of arbitrary judiciary authority. We think the Court chose the lesser danger. There is a graver peril to general fresdom in restraining criticism than in per- mitting it on cccasion to become unbridled. But this is bv no means to deny that abuse of freedom by the press calls imperatively for self-discipline. Freedom of the press is rot an inalienable right. It is a privi- lege granted by society on the utilitarian theory that it will be conducive to the general welfare. And news- papers need to remember that if it is so widley abused to fail in its purpose, it will in time be curtailed or wi.thdrawn by the society which conferred it. the Arabs ever ificial made what policy statement yderson explained. y about the truth,” he said, “but the truth about the facts.” WATCHING FOR TORNADOES Tornadoes already have killed more people in six months of 1947 than in 12 months of any normal year.
