HULL DENIES PLAN
F0RPRESS CENSOR
Declares Secret Code Bill
Had No Relation to
Newspapers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department contemplated
mot the slightest relationship" between
the press and the secret code bill passed
recently by the House. Secretary Hull
stated in letter to Representative
Black, Democrat, of New York, made
public today.
Black had written Hull asking the
origin Of the bill he had attacked on the
House floor as press censorship"
When I assumed my present official
position at the State Department" Hull
replied under date of April 81, II soon
learned that certain individual acts of
interference with secret governmental
code information in process of transmits
sion between this and other countries,
or like information in process Of trans
mission between government and its
diplomatic mission in the United States
and the threat to make the results pub
lie, imperatively called for immediate
action making such publication unlaw-
full.
Il thereupon telephoned a ranking
member Of the appropriate committee
OF the House of Representatives, call
ing attention to this state of facts and
suggesting appropriate legislation to
make unauthorized publication of the
particular kind of code information just
described unlawful
Some days later I was informed that
number of officials in two or three
branches of the public service collab-
GRATED in the preparation of the
measure against which you complain
and also that certain of its provisions
were being objected to upon the ground
that they intringed upon the freedom
of the press.
such effects as to the press, of
course, were not remotely contemplated
by myself in telephoning, nor. I am
sure, were they contemplated by those
responsible for the final draft of the
bill in question.
AT any rate, I at once urged that
any provisions that could possibly be
construed as to the least affecting the
freedom of the press be stricken out of
the bill. There is not the slightest
relationship between the protection of
code information as aforesaid and the
utmost freedom of the press.
MY individual view is that the Amer
lean public should suffer incalcuable
injuries in other respects before the
freedom of the press should be iniur-
1ously affected to any material extent
whatever"
