Measure is Vital to Ma

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Decis-
ion of house republicans in caucus
Tuesday TO oppose any newspaper
censorship provision in the pending
espionage bill was followed by a let
ter from Pres't Wilson TO Chairman
Webb of the judiciary committee re-
peating that IL was imperative that
congress grant censorship powers 10
deal with the few persons who can
not be relied upon 10 observe "a pa
triotic reticence about everything
which publication could be OF in

I have been very much surpris-
ed" wrote the president. ito find
several Of the uolic prints stating
that the administration had aban-
doned the position which it so dis
tinctly took, and still holds. that au-
thority 10 exercise censorship over
the press TO the extend that that
censorship is embodied in the recent
action of the house of representa-
tives is necessary TO the public safe
ty II. of course, has not been aban-
doned because the reasons still exist
why such authority is necessary for
the protection of the nation.
Some Can't BE Relied ON.
II have every confidence that the
great majority of the newspapers of
the country will observe a patriotic
reticence about everything whose
publication would be Of injury, but
in every country there are some per
sons in a position TO do mischief in
this field who cannot be relied upon
and whose interests or desires Will
lead TO actions on their part highly
dangerous 10 the nation i'm the midst
OF a war 1 want TO say again that
il seems to me imperative that pow
ers of this sort should be granted"
The house espionage bill carried a
censorship provision. but the one by
the senate did not and this was one
of the differences which sent the
measure to conference where il has
been discussed for more than "a week
without an agreement.
Letter Is Surprise.
The presidents letter caused some
surprise because many members OF
congress and some administration
leaders had understood for several
DAYS that no further attempt was TO
be made at present 10 put through
any such provisions. Sentiment in
the senate is strong against censor

upon a very mild form il prOba bly,

ceipt Of the presidents letter. that
he would wage a determined fight
in behalf OF the censorship amend
