A FREE PRESS.

A free press is one OF the founda.
tion pillars OF free institutions. II IA
perhaps the greatest single factor In the
maintenance OF human liberty and the
promotion Of progress. The mcnaces to
the freedom OF the press, however, do
not all come from official or govern
mental surveillance and censorship.
There are other and almost equally
great obstacles. One OF these latter was
Disclosed by the London Herald, an
English labor organ. In It's issue yester-
day morning.
That paper admits that II has In it's
possession $4,000 pounds--equal 10 about
$500, 000-of "boshovlk gold' and asks
It's readers what to do It. The state
ment Is also made that the sharehod-
ers In tho paper are to determine
whether and how the money is to be
used. The story related in the cable
dispatch was rather brief, buc tho
money is apparently intended TO finance
boishevik propaganda by tho Herald.
To accept II, that paper declares. would
be a notable episode, and II would be
nothing less. To consider It's accent
nnce amounts to that.
The story, however, indicates that tho
paper In question has already halfway
determined upon acceptance OF the gold.
II undertakes TO excuse the shameful
transaction by remarks about the I'm
croasing cost OF production and the po-
litioal shyness OF advertisers" conclud-
ing with notice that IL will be necessary
to double the price of the paper II tho
money is not accepted. This seems to
he an attempt to coeroe the approval
OF the papers patrons.
There are doubtless secret influences
which have more or less to do with
moulding the policies OF many papers,
but this odorous affair In uncovered to
the public gaze. That seems to be it's
only redeeming feature. II acqtaints

ITALY'S INDUSTRIAL
CRISIS ALARMS WORLD

The newest menace to world peace
ana civilization is the outbreak of boil
shevism In Italy. In Rome, Milan, Tu-
rim and Venice workmen have seized
industrial plants and have settled down
10 n Veritable Siege. Red guards"
have been organized and the factories
| converted into fortresses.
Dispatches emphasize the bolshevik
| character OF the factory seizures. but
the whole possibly is to be traced to
conditions now existing in Italy, The
country today faces a very serious food
shortage, due to the failure of the
years harvests and because Of which
u Is estimated, Italy will have to pur-
chase two thirds OF her bread in for
eisn markets. Coal is extremely scarce
and proportionately high, and with
winter coming on there Is little hope for
relief. The seriousness OF the situa-
tlon is reflected In the unprecedented
other lands.
II. however. the countrywide upris-
ing has been promoted by bolshevik
agitators. the world may well shudder
with apprehension. At present, even
though tho Poles are victorious in the
north, bolshevism is still a menace to
be dreaded In the east 1t is unchecked
and lately there have been indications
or an EFFORT to join with the Turkish
nationalists Should Italy flame up
and the fre sweep northward, Austria
and Hungary would soon succumb,
leaving France, Belgium and Spain TO
their fates In the west.-WheelLng Reg

Dispatches outlining the action of
workmen in Italy in taking possession
of plants and factories in the metal
industry have thus far failed to show
that any widespread move toward boil
sheNtsm Is In progress or that the
metal workers have large enough fol-
lowing TO institute an organized So
Wet. The workmens unions have con-
tented themselves with a resolution
which declares that unless the present
conflict can be settled n move toward
thu Specialization OF all forms OF produc-
ton will be attempted

disturbance even when the process OF
development was gradual. To compete |
IN the more perfectly organized mod |
ern commerce Italy will have to accom- |
nlish the transition TO industrial power |
moro rapidly than was the case with |
England, Germany or the United |
states. In the circumstances X would |
be the height Of unwsdom to draw |
hastN conclusions concerning move |

country to the women whose coun-

made OF league matters and a report
will be made later.
There can be no question as to the
great interest Of the women in this
important subject For years they
have been working and praying for
peace, and have thrown their influence

the greatest peace plan ever proposed
should be wrecked.
