Opposition to Section 7.

The opposition to section of the post
Office appropriation bill. which gives the
Postmaster General unlimited power in
routing magazines and newspapers by
freight or mail. is growing steadily in the
Senate. Senators today expressed sur
prise that this provision should have been
placed in the bill and agreed to by the
House and by the Senate committee. 1t is
characterized d danger to the freedom
of the press and calculated to do great
injustice in the hands of any man who
might wish to the power conferred
for political purposes.
1t was pointed out today that the Sen
ate post office committee in 1912 looked
into this question and report was made
to the Senate on the matter, which said,
in part:
we are of the opinion that the freight
service involves difficulties which the de
partment did not foresee. and we are con-
vinced that it is absolutely impossible for
any official to declare that one periodical
shall go by freight and its rival shall go
by mail train without doing irrepara BILE
injury in many instances.

be permitted to exercise the discretionary
