PEACE" MAIL NOT BARRED,
Postohice Denies Pacihst Propn-
Eanda Is Under Ban.

Reports that the Postofice Department
has barred the mails to pacifist propa-
ganda were ridiculed by Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson yesterday afternoon. Such
action, 1t was pointed out, Is impossible
without an act of Congress, as 1t would
infringe the right of free speech.
The Postofice Department found il
necessary recently to bar one batch of
peace propaganda from the mails be-
cause it contained an attack on the
character of certain individuals. The
Postofflce Department has the power to
do this under existing laws, but it has
no power to bar the mails to anything
that is not vicious in its character
