THE WRONG OF CENSORSHIP

X GORGE CREEL'S latest instruc-
r tions to newspapers-which. of

the administration regarding
the publication of war news-clearly
indicate that those at Washington
are trying desperately to bring about
condition whereby they will be able
up to this time has been denied by
Congress. In the light of this there
is particular interest in the address
of Pomeroy Burton, managing editor
of the London Daily Mail. before the
international convention of Rotary
Clubs in Atlanta recently. in which
he blamed the close censorship of the
Allies for the slowness of the Ameri-
can people to realize they are at
war. Mr.. Burton said:
l. The reason for this strange
lethargy in the face of national
the allies policy of close censor
ship. which I regard as a stupid
policy and always have, has re-
suited in keeping the full flow of
war facts and a reasonable under
standing of the worst develop
ments from reaching the people
of the world, a policy which has
already cost countless thousands
| OF lives and untold treasure and a
| policy which ]. earnestly hope will
not be repeated here.
And that is the very kind of a CEN
sorship into which the newspapers
of the country will be plunged If the
authorities have their way. This is
what Mr.. Burton thinks ought to be
done:
Reverse this policy of secrecy.
Let the people at home have these
| and other true pictures of the war
| as it really is. and i firmly believe
| that the response would be cleo
trical, particularly here. The peo-
pie of the United States would
rouse as one man to their task,
| fired with patriotic fervor born of
full and true understanding of
what this war means to them and
| their future, Of the individual OBJ
| legations it imposes upon those at
home as well as upon those who
| are constantly facing death for
| the sake OF those at homei Now
| this, IL seems to me, is of para
| mount Importance, in view of the
circumstances which exist to-day,
| clearly indicating that as this
| great country organizes for war
| quickly or slowly, well or badly,
earnestly or haltingly. so will the
end of this war be soon or long
in coming.

Food Controller
Disproves Report
of Salt Shortage

The food administration is warning
housewives of the state to beware of
pro-German propaganda that there is
a threatened shortage in salt, laundry
blue and matches. The object of these
reports is TO cause panicky housewives
to buy up large quantities OF these ar
ticles, so that shortage will result
and cause people to become dissatis-
fled with war conditions.
Three successive waves of buying
have spread from the eastern states
toward the west Housckeepers have
purchased as high as twenty-five bags
OF salt, and there is one instance where
one man bought barrel of salt
enough to last his family for life
time. Excessive salt buying was fol-
lowed by runs on laundry blue and
matches, some housewives buying a
years supply at time.
There is no shortage in these arti-
eles, but such boarding may result in
real shortage in particular communi-
ties These drives point to organized
effort it is stated and the food admin
istraton is warning housewives
sgainst these reports and of any other
, similar ones that may follow.
