As the work of this committee is studied, it is clear that it’s interest is net in freedom sf information but in the right of Lovernments to limit and suppress information and for the assment »f reporters. Thi is done under the \esopian word, “R of the Carroll Bi > Minneap- Jlis “Tribune,” the American repre- ative on thi nmittee, has een waging a I 1 fight trying o educate some of th about freedom p practiced in the States, where the in of HHABIBEE umed to be tural and therefore unpunish- ble.

It has become a knife to |assassinate reputations, a drug to |dull the senses, or a poison to in- |still suspision and fear. “Of course, when they have sought !ted Naticns, theéy have been care- larming disguise.

(Ed. Note: This last paragraph strikes _directly home to Juneau. The Daily Alaska Empire, which oc- cosionally “annoys” the politicians in the Federal Building, has often veen termed “irresponsible” by the Gruening menage.) Binder says: “. . . This convention was never, as I understand it, intended to |deal primarily or even directly with the work of journalists. I have un- derstood its intent to be the pro- i motion and protecticn of everyone’s {right to freedom of information. ' To distort it into a punitive mea- su directed at journalists would certainly be a mockery of every thing the. United Nations has at- tempted to do in this field. We must realize that undesirable checks placed on journalists would apply equally to artists and teach- ers, to lawyers and politicians and in the last analysis to people like ourselves drawn from every walk of life. Even if the grievances against some journalists and new papers are assumed to be real, t! is certainly too high a price to pay to settle a few scores!” The State Department has put up a good fight against the Eur- opeans who seek to suppress free- dom of the press throughout the werld by means of the United N: tions. The American position i “We are convinced that the fund- amental principles of freedom of niormation can not be the sub- ject of compromise. . . " The United Nations is, however, a complex and enormous organiza- tion in which compromises must be jound among 60 nations. Things happen there and the public finds itself faced by a condition from which there is no immediate with- drawal. It is therefore essential that the American position ke strengthened to say not that “freedom of infor- mation can not be the subject of compromise,” but we should say that the freedoms of the American he understands the g to Adm.
