penalties east shadows over the mind of every reporter, and none feels as free as formerly, when he sees that his access to news sources may be closed if he does not ''toe the line"
 Secretary Ickes and Solicitor Margold of the interior department already had ordered subordinates in their department not to give in- formation to newspapermen. This order was rescinded only after strong protests by newsmen.
 Then Acting Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, no more than succeeded to Secretary Woodin's chair than he issued a similar order, and further ordered that no statistics be issued by sec- tions of his department except through a central board.
 That included many figures and bulletins which had been issued for years by subordinate sections of the treasury department.
 RADIO IS HOBBLED
 BY CENSOR RULES
 These events, while not literally infringements on freedom of the press. show a tendency of officials to grow thin-skinned as criticism rises. And one of the basic require ments of an official under democ- racy is: He must be able to ''take it."
 Radio, which theoretically ought to have the same rights to speak facts and opinions as 8 publication to print them, already is hobbled by licensing. This probably was unavoidable, as the air has room for only limited number of sta- tions, whereas printed matter may be produced without limit and still not exclude the other fellow from the field.
 Necessary or not, the fact re- mains that every radio station de- bends on the government for it's license to do business, and the re- suit, according to H. V. Kaltenborn, a noted news broadcaster, is this:
 "Broadcasting stations need the cooperation of federal authorities. They wish to remain on good terms with the authorities at Washington !. No one out of tune with gen. erally accepted principles or poli- cies is apt to be welcomed 'on the air Unknown to the general public, there is a thoroughgoing radio censorship already in effect. It operates quietly and efficiently, through process of exclusion"
 q
 INTEREST OF EVERY
 CITIZEN AT STAKE
 Thus, surrounded by world drawing away from those insep- arabic twins, democracy and free- dom of expression, confronted by the licensing of radio speech, and the possibility (even if remote) of licensing of the press, viewing an increasing flood of state regulation and restriction, and watching a na- tional government that shows signs of restlessness in the face of criti- cism, the American press has been more than usually vigilant.
 For the rights they seek to pro- tect are not merely the rights of the newspapers themselves, nor of the publishing trade, but the right of every citizen to speak his mind. That is why it is important to you.

That is because the MIRA is Q law of congress, and not their doing. But anything the publishers sign, ksuch as the code, must contain an Passurance that they themselves are not giving up the constitutional right of freedom of expression. It all will be ironed out very soon.
 But there are many other straws blowing about which indicate that the present government, like any government in power, grows rest less under criticism from time to time, and wishes it had greater control over what people say and think about it.
