WILSON'S VIEW OF
NEWS CENSORSHIP
NOT DESIGNED AS "SHIELD
AGAINST CRITICISM" PRES
IDENT SAYS.

The congressional fight over the
newspaper censorship provisions of
the espionage bill has created wide
spread interest, and President Will
sons view of it is therefore enlight-
ening. In letter to Arthur Bris-
bane, editor of the New York Even
ing Journal, a Hearst publication, he
said:
my Dear Mr.. Brisbane: sim
cerely appreciate the frankness OF
your interesting letter of April 20
with reference to the so-called espion-
age bill now awaiting action of the
congress.
Il approve of this legislation, but
need not assure you and those in.
terested in it that. whatever action
the congress may decide upon, as far
as l am personally concerned I shall
not expect or permit any part Of this
law to apply to me or any of my off.
cial acts or in any way to be used as
shield against criticism.
81 can imagine no greater disserv.
ice to the country than to establish 3
system of censorship that would
deny to the people of free republic
like our own their indisputable right
to criticise their own public officials
While exercising the great powers Of
the Office I hold, 1 would regret in &
crisis like the one through which We
are now passing to lose the benefits
of patriotic and intelligent criticism
"In these trying times one can fee
certain only of his motives. which hi
must strive to purge of selfishness o.
every kind and await with patience
for the judgment of a calmer day te
vindicate the wisdom of the course HI
has tried conscientiously to follow.
"Thank you for having written me
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"
