DECLARES CRIME NEWS SHOULD BE PUBLISHED New York Editor Says Censorship Applied to One Kind Might Spread Far. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, March 14.—Declaring censorship of news is unwise, Walter Lippmann, New York editor, in an address here before the chamber of commerce, said that it is the duty of the modern newspaper to print crime news as well as every other kind. The editor who ylelds to the temptation to censor crime news might find justification to censor financlal news and proceed from that to a policy of trying to censor all news, Mr. Lippmann said. “Crime news is & part of the pic- ture of life as it is” he asserted. “The danger is not so much in pub- Ushing crime news as it i{s in the newspaper turning detective, prose- cutor and judge.’ Advertising has little effept on editorial policy, Mr. Lippmann sald, in the larger papers the influence being relatively insignificant. “The adverticer needs the news- paper a great deal more than the newspaper needs him. The editor can say to himself: ‘If I can hold the reader the advertiser will come to me, and it I cannot hold the reader the advertiser will not come to me anyway,’” he continued, ACCEPTS MEMEL GIFT.
