MIRA and ScrippS-HOward
An Editorial

TWO quotations from General Hugh John
= son during his trip into the west create
an issue with respect to which scripps- Howard
newspapers desire to make their position per-
fectly clear.
In his Chicago speech, General Johnson
said: Il am as devoted as any of these critics
to the constitutional principle Of a free press.
Nothing ever will be done in or by NRA TO
impair it."
In Kansas City, asked if he were willing to
have written in the final newspaper code the
assurance he expressed in Chicago, he was
quoted as saying; Il do not think it is either
necessary or proper. 1t is hardly fair to ask the
President to state in a code that he is not 60
ing to violate the Constitution Of the United
States, for freedom of the press is guaranteed
in the Constitution"
NRA, as it relates to journalism, involves
two separate elements. One has to do with
the economics Of newspaper making The
second, with the most fundamental of all con-
stitutional rights.
The Scripps-Howard newspapers are def
nitely on record as supporting the economic
cbjectives Of the national recovery admins
LTdIlOn. AS mdJLer OF IacC, JneSe newspapers
were urging the theory of higher wages and
shorter hours and industrial planning and
cooperation, as necessary for a recovered and
stabilized prosperity, before President Roose-
welt was elected or even nominated or the
MIRA program formulated.
In the economic philosophy which the code
symbolizes we believe sincerely, and for the
genius of General johnson in propounding
that philosophy we have great admiration AS
publishers we are willing to play our full part
toward NRA success, whatever the price may
be, as the newspaper code relates to the manu-
featuring and the industrial phases of news
paper making.
As to the second Standardization of the
pressi
Something more than economics, some
thing more than depressions or material
prosperity, is involved in that; something that
took centuries of bitter and bloody struggle to
secure. During those centuries, prosperity and
hard times came and went, but the struggle
went on, until, finally, democracy was born.
The very heart of democracy is the right of
free expression. No depression, however Sc
we're, no economic recovery, however success
full, should be allowed to still that heart.
Freedom of the press is merely one form

By o. P. Andrews.
Is it any wonder that people are
losing confidence in our present
government, as we'll as the press,
when the only morning paper we
have in indianapolis will uphold the
lazy tactics of the present prose-
cutor and take a fall out of Judge
Cox, who has done everything he
could to give the depositors of our
closed banks a square deal and, ii
possible, recover a part Of their de-
posts? While Senator Van Mugs
comes along and takes exception to
the appointment of E. 0. Miller Of
Fl. Wayne as receiver for the old
First National Bank of Fl. Wayne
and recommends j. B. E. LaPlant,
who was president and principal
stakeholder of the First National
Bank of VincenneS, which closed
about a year ago and has not paid
the depositors one cent. Senator
Van Mugs recommends him for this
position and asserts that only merit
should be used in the naming of a
| receiver.
If Senator Van Nuys' choice is for
merit, why doesn't Mr.. LaPlant ar
range for the liquidation of his own
bank?
! One would be led to think that
our morning paper in indianapolis
has some reason for not wanting
the true facts in regard to our
closed banks in Indianapolis and for
upholding our present prosecutor.
By Friend Of the Dillingers.
This letter is from persons who
have known John Dillinger many
years.
He was born of a good Christian
mother, but she died soon after
His father always has lived a good
Christian life, too. The residents
of Brightwood and NIooresville
would vouch for Mr.. Dillinger, the
father. Yet he was insulted when
twenty officers came to his home
seeking his son. The officers treated
him like he was the convict.
Now let me say this for the
father. When he says he hasn't
seen his son since last May, that
can be depended ON. The father
and sisters, and more friends than
John Jr. realizes, are heartsick over
his actions. So far, we are all glad
to know he isn't guilty of murder

of freedom Of expression. Newspapers simply
chance to be the channel through which mod
ern expression flows. The urge for freedom
of expression is older and more vital than
newspapers, or any other medium Of express
sion
Freedom of expression as set forth in num-
Der one of the bill Of rights Of the Constitu-
ton of the United States is a right peculiar
to no special class of persons. 1t is a right
inherent in every American citizen, and with
out it democracy would cease to exist. 1t is
the essence of liberty. About its preservation
the door to argument should not even be
opened
Legal opinions differ as to the ability of
an American to waive constitutional right,
and as to what would be the implication
should newspapers sign a code under MIRA
which did not contain free press clause,
With all due respect to President Roose-
welt, to General Johnson, to the assistants Of
the latter, and to their sincerity in express
ing their devotion to the principle of free
dom of the press. it is our deep feeling that
no conscientious newspaper man in this ma
ton should agree to anything over which the
slightest doubt in this matter might hang.
The way to eliminate doubt and keep
closed the door to argument is to retain in
the newspaper code the clause which re-
asserts the principle.
To a President who, like his administrator.
sincerely is devoted to the principle, there
should be no improperly no unfairness. about
that
So we say-as the newspaper code affects
the manufacturing, the industrial the eco
nomic aspects, competitive practices, hours
wages, working conditions, collective bargain
ing and every other phase with which the ma
tional recovery act is designed to deal, the
Scripps-HoWard newspapers are wholehearted-
ly back of MIRA
And we say, with equal emphasis-as the
code relates to freedom of the press we will
support to the limit the retention of a clause
which will prevent any debate about the right
OF the newspapers of this nation to publish
facts and express opinions
1t is our further feeling that President
Roosevelt and General Johnson in their final
consideration of the newspaper code will ap
preciate the logic and the necessity of this
position
