CAPTURE THE SOAP BOX

There has been much complaint
that free speech and a free press no
longer exist In America because local
authorities have supprest the pacifist
agltator and the postmaster general
has debarred seditious publications

these critics. The government. which
has a right TO compel MS to do mill
tary service, to hand yer any part Of
our income which may be needed for
the national defense. TO determine
what WI shall eat and drink. has GER
tainly the right to see that the pros
ecutlon OF the war Is not baked by
the copperhead.
Nevertheless. we admit that the
repression OF the anti-war agitator is
as unfortunate as Il Is necessary.
Among other unhappy consequences
OF repression IL that IL gives a pretext
to the disloyalist to say: you cannot
answer our arguments and so you APP

it Is a commonplace of psychology that

Of the suppression OF error is to teach

We need TO supplement the truly
negative censorship Of disloyal utter

THE CENSORSHIP AND COMMON
SENSE.

In the earlier days OF the war, M.
Clemenccau. who has just been made
premier OF France was an editor.
First he published "L'Homme Libre."
which was suppressed BY the censors
and later "L'Homme Enchaine."
which also suffered heavily. Many is
sues appeared with his editorials COM
pletely obliterated, and many columns
OF his news dispatches we're also
hiackened 80 that they could not be
read.
Clemenceau has not forgotten those
experiences, and one OF his first Off
cial announcements as premier was
that government Interference with the
press would stop. Only military and
diplomatic Information OF real value
tD the enemy. and news and editorials
susceptible OF disturbing the peace
win be censored hereafter. he says.
With German legions actually on
their W soil u would seem that the
French people would have an intimate
and personal understanding OF the
war, bui the new premier announces
that hts policy is based on the neces-
SHY % having the French people
brought as intimately Ia touch with
the var as possible"
~ that Is a good argument in
France, after Rheims. Ypres and Yer
dun. q is surely a splendid argument
for "A more intelligent and less strin-
