That's the spirit in Key West, in com- mon with the rest of the United States. It’s the spirit of demoeracy that has made us what we are today—the wonderland of the “world. : As residents may recall, The Citizen appealed to them to register and, having registered, to vote.

Canham of that out- standing publication the Christian Science Monitor, in a speech at a Maine News- paper Day observance, said the drive for free information has had “very indifferent success,” Editor Canham has already served at the United Nations Conference on freedom of information and he knows whereof he speaks. He has boiled down his views in a Program to break the barriers, which he outlines in a practical way, as follows: 1. The American press should rede- dicate itself to the task of doing a more re- sponsible job of informing the American people.
