The newspaper men generally support three principles, outlined recently by the American Society of Newspaper Editors, whieh include (1) that the news should not be censored at the source; (2) that the press should not be used as an instrument of government propaganda; and (3) that a free flow of news should be permitted in and out of all countries. Neither newspaper men nor the public at large, however, should conclude that the establishment of these principles will auto- matically mean that all facts as to interna- tienal problems and other public issues will be presented to the people. The truth of the matter is that the principles, once es- tablished, will only make it possible for ®ewspapers, radio commentators and other publicity men to present the facts, fairly and justly, if they want to do so and are qualified to do so. It is quite common for writers and commentators to assume that the only bar- rier to the acquisition of facts are those that place difficulties in the way of selecting, transmitting and publishing news. This is incorrect. Not only must the facts be col- lected and transmitted, but they must be published and in the publicatoion there must be evident a desire to give out all the facts, so that the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, will be published. In the United States there are few bar- tiers to the selection, transmission and pub- lication of news. This does not mean that there results, automatically, a fair and im- partial presentation of all the facts. It does vot mean, necessarily, that all newspapers, magazines, radio stations and other ve- hicles for the dissemination of information make an attempt to present a balanced ‘Publication of all essential facts. —____. People who fuss will continue to fuss, whether or not. So don't worry about what they fuss about. If you see two men putting their heads together, the chances are that one is tell- ing the other a joke. And probably risque. The meatless days of the first World War threaten to be the meatless weeks of the present struggle. It persuades us that Sherman was right. Trading in Key West is not only being loyal to the place in which you live and make your living, but it is often profitable, besides keeping the money at home. Money sent out of town helps that town and not yours. The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Associated Press, accused of violation of the Sherman Act, is bewil- dering to say the least, and caused Justice Roberts in a minority opinion to write that he does not know what his colleagues are talking about, and that the majority deci- sion is “a first step in the shackling of the press.” To interested laymen it is a clear ease of government by injunction, WHAT IS YOUR GUESS? As Key Westers may recall, all of us did a great deal of guessing about when the war in Europe would be over, and The Citizen was told of two or three that came within a week of guessing the exact date. Of course, guessing of that nature is very much like dreaming: we recall that we dreamed so and so when the thing we dreamed about had happened, though pe probably there have been a good many ex- ceptions in that regard. We know a Key Wester who, during her adult life of many years, when some happening occurred, particularly if it was of a grave nature, such as a murder, always said, “I knew that would happen because I dreamed about it Tuesday night,” or some other night, as the case might have been. On one occasion, she was asked by a neighbor, “Why don’t you tell us sometimes of the things you dream about before they happen?” With the bombing of Japan increasing almost daily, many Key Westers have be- gun to guess when the Japs will be knocked out of the war. The best way to make a guess is todo like the late President Roose- velt used to do in estimating how the elec- tion for the presidency would turn out: he wrote the guess on a slip of paper and put the paper in his desk. If we don’t do that, we are likely to say, “I.guessed so and so and I came near being right,” though your guess might have been far.off from what really, was the case. One dées nat deliberately make a claim of that kind,*when he knows his guess was otherwise, but he had forgotten what he had said and thought he was right, or he had made so many guesses, one turned out to be correct or almost correct. So if you are one of the Key Westers who are trying to determine when the Japs will be crushed, write the time you think the war with them will end and put your guess away and look at it when hostilities have ceased. We have heard a good many Key Westers express the belief that the war will be over before the end of the year, but the shortest time that has yet come to our notice was the guess of one of The Citizen’s editors, who declared he thought the Japs will be out of the war in 45 days” Two other editors hope his guess will turn out to be true, though they think the war may continue to the end of the year or, possibly, a little longer. That is a short time, too, compared with the estimate of some of our military men, who have said |1 it may take from one to two years to the Japs to their knees. What is your guess? FF bring Life may be a grind, but there is al- ways the chance to sharpen your wits on it. eS BUCKING THE CONSTITUTION The air-tight deadlock in the Florida legislature over reapportionment was eased Tuesday when the Senate passed House Bill No. 7-X which reapportioned the House of Representatives, The deadlock now is in the upper chamber only, where 21 senators are hold- ing out against any interpretation of the Florida Constitution which they previously took an oath to uphold. The constitutional group of, the Senate who are anxious to function under Section 3, of Articlé 7-of the Constitution, are: President of the Senate Rose of Orlando, Barringer of Sarasota, Baynard of St. Pet- ersburg, Beacham of West Palm Beach, Hoyle of Sanford, Bryant of Dade City, Carroll of Kissimmee, Coleman of Miami, Johnson of Tavares, King of Winter Haven, King of Zolfo Springs, Mathews of Duval, Moon of Crystal River, Sheldon of Tampa, and Sturgis of Ocala. The 24 senators, whose battle cry is, “We will not yield,” and who so far have disregarded the state constitution by re- tionment or to consider any proposals for redistricting the Senate as submitted by the lower house are Ausley of Tallahassee, Black of Jasper, Brackin of Crestview, Branch of Sumatra, Clarke of Monticello, Coleman of Daytona Beach, Davis of Madi- son, Fraser of Maclenny, Fraser of St. Au- Cross City, Johns of Starke, Lewis of Mari- anna, Lindler of Lake City, McArthur of Wilson of Quincy. The continued expense of the extraor- dinary session, already near $59,000, is now entirely up to the above named 21 senators who so far have been unable to place any interpretation on the State Con- stitution regarding reapportionment. fusing either to submit a’plan for reappor- |} gustine, Gray of Panama City, Griner of | ~ Fernandina, Purdue of Cedar Key, Riddle | of Darlington, Sanchez of Live Oak, Shands | of Gainesville, Thomas of Pensacola and | when Cynthia offers the house to the Brandons, They wouldn’t waste the time it takes to get to the plant, he retorts.
