NO SUPPRESSION HERE

Action of the Mexican government in holding up the
entire Sunday edition of Excelsior published in the
Mexican capital for eleven hours indicates the wide diff
ference that exists between American and Mexican
methods of doing things.
Excelsior has incurred the diSpleasure of PreSi-
dent Gales and his administration. by publishing
tcles in connection with the trial of Tora slayer OF
General Obregon The government has declared a
boycott against the paper has ordered government
ployees not to buy it to patronize merchants ad
versing in it, and has denied the paper the usual
cess to government news.
Such thing could not happen in the United
States where freedom of the Is established by the
Constitution of the country AS long paper

molested. 1t may criticize the President, the govern
ment in general, any governmental agency 1t may
attack them, but long it does not advocate
treason or encourage acts of violence against consti
tuted authority, it is allowed its say. Regulations
frightened naturally in times, but then the
closest cooperation exists between the press and the
government.
Staffs of correspondents keep close watch on the
government and government officials at all times
Congress has special gallery for press representa-
tves Correspondents accompany the President where
he goes and they freely report all his activities
Speeches made by the President are always furnished
in advance to newspapers, the government reposing
confidence in them that the matter will De released

dence of others is the cornerstone o. lis success
Freedom of the press does not mean that anything
and everything may De printed Public morals, the
recognized rules of society respect for law and order
and many other conditions enter into the newspapers
guide of conduct. But the smallest weekly paper in
the country has the guarantee of the Constitution,
that it will not be molested In this it is often able
to be much freer than the largest metropolitan daily.
The circulation manager of almost any paper
would chortle with gee il he received order from
official to halt publication because that particular
official did not agree with something the paper had
printed. 1t would increase his business such moth
ing else would.
Not only in Mexico, but in other Latin American
and European countries, the press is hampered by
governmental supervision. A rigorous censorship is
maintained by many governments.
The only censorship that has been found necessary
in the United States the newspapers self-respect,
and the respect it has for others.

was not as large as Uncle Wiggily,
the Weasel was SO fierce and strong

feared the Weasel even more than

Uncle Wiggily had good luck and
always managed to get away in
time, though more than once the
rabbit was nearly caught.
