censorship of war news. Strict
1y speaking there is no news
censorship in this country. Any
American newspaper is legally
free to print news as it finds it
provided it keeps free from Sc
ditious or reasonable matter.
The government, however,
through the committee on pub
lie information, asks newspa-
pers to refrain from publishing
certain classes of news. These
requests deal almost entirely
with news of troop movements,
with ship sailings, and about
certain war equipment and sup
plies regarding which,it is obvi-
ously necessary that secrecy be
maintained. From the begin
ming most of the press has
cheerfully complied with the
requests made. 1t is entirely
permissible, however, to pub

lish such news when authority
for such action is given by the
government.
There is no ground for believ-
ing the government has ever
taken action to keep from the
public news that should be pub
llshed. Disasters and casual
ties are given out promptly.
There is no effort to suppress
criticism, save where it may be
of a seditious nature, and even
then the government is lenient
rather than otherwise. Proof
of this is found in the fact that
space is being freely given to
critics of the government even
when it is evident the criticism
is colored by politics and is of
ten unfair.
The news from abroad is
censored before it is cabled to
this country. The purpose of
that censorship is evidently to
conceal military facts from the
enemy. News of losses or re-
verses is frankly announced.
The use of German war reports
is permitted and this is evil
Idence that the government is
not trying to keep the people
in the dark as to essential
facts.
From the knowledge this pa
per has of the censorship the
East Oregonian is of the candid
opinion there is nothing op-
pressive or unreasonable about
it. People may rely with
much safety on news reports as
published. 1t is necessary to
remember, however, that facts
are constantly changing and
new situations coming to light.
Every effort is made to give
the truth as it is known but
even at that there are sure to
be shortcomings. AT times
wrong impressions are gained
through no fault of the press
or press reports. Readers will
fail to correctly understand or
analyze what they read. The
blame in that case is upon the
reader not upon the press.
One safe rule to follow dur
ing the war is to rely upon the
press, not on rumor mongers,
for war news in this country or
from abroad. When wild stor-
les of any sort are afoot and
are not published you may
brand them as false. The
press publishes the news, good
or bad.
