MIR. CREEL UNDER FIRE

Some time ago President Wilson es'
tablished an Information Bureau. at
the head OF which he placed Mr..
George Creel. !, magazine writer, who
had been connected with the Demo
cratic Press Bureau duriaS the last
campaign. There was some criticism
OF the appointment Oh two counts
that 1t was partisan political ap-
pointment in matter which should
be free from pariiSaE$hip. and that
Creel was no; the proper person to
place in charge. as his work had been
chiefly in magazine rather than IN
newspaper writing. Those people who
criticised the appointment were con-
demned as "carping." Now. however.
the Secretary OF War has become dis
satisfied with some Of the information
Creel has given GU. and has appoint
ed Il censor OF his own. Two depart
nlentS now have their own censors.
The original criticisms were evidently
not so ''carpine" after all.
| But that is not all. Here We have
more conflict in c~vcrnmcnt affairs
and another departure from the CO.
ordination Of authority that has been
gcins on al Washington, calculated
TO make confusion worse cOnfounded.
Senator PenrcSe has Introduced It res
oluttion Of Inquiry n thr Senate which
calls for some definite information as
to the scope and operation OF Mr..
Creels activities. Among other things
Senator penr0Sr asks for complete
diagrams nj thai wonderful battle L.
tween Amcriran waTShipS and Ger
man submarines, exploited by Mr..
Creel through the Information Bureau,
in which our ships beat off the
U-boats in their attack IN the trans
ports carrying our troops To France.
II Is claimed that this engagement is
pure fiction.
We can hardly b"!iav" that. But
il is true that An Associated Press
Representative" was with The soldier
fleet. and he rmphatlcat!y dec lareS
that no submarine was sighted during
the entire trip. There may be some
explanation nf this apparent incon-
sruity. i there is the public is en-

CONGRESS AND THE PRESS

/ Inc newspaper IS distinct puOlIC
, benefit. Thoughtless readers may
mot have considered this view Of their
favorite paper. and many Congress-
men and Senators hold an attitude of
bitter enmity toward the press. the
! auimus of which may not be difficult
to, guess in some instances. In spear
| ing around for objects to penalize
| Congress has; soaked the newspapers
in the war tax bill beyond the most
elasttic stretches Of justice. The news
paper is as much a necessity in every
we'll ordered. intelligent American
family as the physical nouriShment
it demands, yet it is one Of the prod
ucts thai is enjoyed today at noml-
nal cost when all other industries and
businesses are fattening on war prof
its. In fact the reader, if he would
take time 10 investigate, would dis
cover that he pays much less for his
daily paper than it actually costs.
Very often he does not pay for the
white paper on which it is printed
In no other industry the world over
j. the product sold every day of the
year far below the cost Of production.
Do newspapers make any profits: OF
course they do. but the general pub
i lie. the daily subscriber. contribute
not one cent TO them.
Now the newspapers are not ask
ing exemption from taxation. Far
+ from it. They are just as eager to
! d. their bit for the nation, more so
) than some Of the inirnical members
OF Congress who have shown Il dispo-
sition to treat them unfairly. To-day
they are cnergctically doing their full
share BY $olidifying the nation and
stimulating the people in this great
war crisis. American newspapers have
shown splendid spirit of patriotism
selves, notably in the Liberty Loan
and Red Cross campaigns, whose en-
traordinary success would have been
impossible without energetic and ca
pable newspaper support. And yet
our LEGISLATORS. some of whom are al
ready famous for their ''pinhead" abili-
tics. persist in doing theeir utmost TO
cripple institutions which are abso-
lutely necessary, not only for the dis
tribution of sound public opinion. but
for preservation Of the nation and
successful prosecution Of this war.
Without their support it would IN
questtionahly prove failure.
, In sense the daily newspaper IS
ir similar situation to that Of the
railroads Of the country. The news
paper industry is not universally pros
porous: it is SO only in spots. and
these are not numerous. The war.
it is true. stimulated newspaper cir
culation, and at the same time in
creased losses from this growth. In
addition. the newspapers have been
obliged to meet tremendous increases
in costs of production. especially in
print paper. costs. which are likely TO
rise TO still higher levels, and which
are making heavy inroads into adver-
Using gains.

called an embargo. Technically, no
doubt, he is right and 1t is an mac
curate use of the word: but that does
not greatly matter. 1t only concerns
the use of a word and not the effect
of the law. Dr. Pratt says that ut
will probably be possible at all times
under the operation of the act TO en-
port limited quantities OF any COM
modify 10 any country" but any state
ment about it should be qualified by
the statement that it is the circum-
stances which will arise In the future
that will deteremine the policy He
wishes it 10 be "emphatically stated,
however, that no general embargo is
intended"
1t is easy enough TO sec that from
the wording OF the provision, but why
he so iusistent about the word? Very
broad power Is given 10 the President
and how far he makes use OF it will
depend upon his judgment. There is
to be an Export Council TO examine
into facts and pass upon what should
be done in any case that may arise.
This is one of those many cases in
which a great deal Of discretion is
left to be exercised by the Executive
and no harm is likely TO come Of it.
