Senator Borah Says
Laws to Muzzle the
Press Are Invalid

Washington, April 1o.-Senatc de-
bate on the administration espionage
bill continued today, with the fate of
a press censorship still in doubt.
This section of the bill provides a
ten years Imprisonment or a fine of
$4,000 for persons who collect, pub
lish or elicit information concerning
matters of national defense which
might be of use to the enemy, in vio-
lation of regulations by the president.
Senator Borah contended that con-
gress was devoid OF power to inter-
fere in any way with the liberty of
the press. He also declared that the
trainers of the constitution were
agreed that the national government
should be excluded absolutely from
all power over the press. The first
constitutional amendment, he said,
was added to make certain that in
reference with liberty of the press
by the federal government was ex-
pressly denied.
Regarding the contention that ma
tional safety makes a censorship
necessary now, Senator Borah said:
"The public interest has always
been the basis for all attacks upon
the press Kings and dictators have
suppressed publications because thew
believed them against public interest"
Senator Thomas Of Colorado pro-
posed to strike out virtually theNen-
tire so-called Censorship" section. but
action was deferred.
Senator Johnson of California op-
posed the whole section as blow at
free speech as we'll as at a free press.
my opinion is not so much because
OF tenderness for the press" said he.
"A decent and self-respeeting press in
time OF war will censor itself and will
not be deferred by any law from hon.
est and legitimate criticism.
Il am concerned mostly with the
right of free speech, the preservation
OF democracy itself"
