America if freedom of the press had
been taken away or let slide:
In the first place there wouldn't
be as many newspapers and maya
zines. Communists and Socialists
probably would be without any pub
lications-the Daily Worker and the
Vorwaerts, and perhaps many labor
union journals, would be closed
down.
The majority of church publica-
lions would be eliminated.
You would find a great deal less
variety in your favorite bookshop
You might, for instance, be unable
to buy a book urging or outlining
peaceful policy toward Japan, or
abandonment Of the Philippine
noble experiment.
y II
VOU might be able to buy no
l. book on American history
which did not conform with the
copy book maXims Of the fifth
grade. Books such as those recently
issued on Morgan, Mellon, and
other financial figures might be
forbidden.

abridged is no idle dream. More
than half the people of Europe live
under conditions something like
that.
1t is a disappointing chapter in
a story that is centuries old.
When Gutenberg made practical
the process of printing from NOV
able types, mankind faced a brand
new problem.
How to handle a situation where
mans thought might be frozen in
ink and spread quickly and cheaply
among untold millions, instead OF
confined to few laboriously writ
ten manuscripts in the libraries OF
the rich or the cloisters of the
monks?
The first device to control this
new force was licensing. The
thought Immediately came: mo
one shall be allowed to print and
spread ideas unless they be proper
ideas-that is, ideas approved by
the government"
A T first, most of the printing
L N being church work, the church
assumed supervision over what
should be printed.
Then in the England of 1866,
nearly 400 years ago, the Stationers'
company received royal charter.
This was an organization of the
printing and publishing trades in
London, something like the trade
associations now being organized
under NRA.
The purpose apparently was to
organize publishers in such way as
to make them promptly available
for censorship activities of the king,
though it had also the usual "ad-
vancement of the trade" objective OF
all trade associations.
Church and state worked hand in
hand in approving printed material
offered the public.
Then, in 1914, the Long Parlia-
ment enacted law that no book,
pamphlet, or paper henceforth shall
be printed unless the same be first
approved and licensed by censor.
. :" Champions of freedom like
the poet Milton fought this tyranny
for fifty years.
Harsh punishments for all who
dared to print unapproved material
were common, the pillory, the
stocks, tongue-slittings, cutting off
Of ears and hangings.
But after fifty years the law Ian
guished, and Macaulay said, THE
greatest blow for freedom then was
struck"

Times SpeciaI Writer

THREE major areas in the whole
world stand alone today
the last to hold TO the idea Of a
free and independent press, allowed
to print uncensored the news as it
finds it.
They are: Great Britain, the
Scandinavian countries, and the
United States and Canada.
In Germany, a Nazi party mem
Der sits at the elbow Of every edi-
tor. censoring what goes into the
newspapers and magazines. If, de-
spite this, the paper is not entflu-
siastic enough toward Nazism, the
party or the government takes 1t
over, lock, stock and barrel.
In France it definitely has been
shown that many papers have taken
fat subsidies from their own and
foreign governments. Naturally, such
views were presented as suited the
governments who paid.
An official government news
agency sees that no news from
abroad gets on its wires, or goes out
over them, unless approved.
IN Russia, news, magazines, or
L book printing is regarded as
merely an arm of the Communist
party. There is no printing at all
except as the government thinks it
furthers the party's aims.
Unfavorable articles appear only
as self criticism" when the govern
ment wishes to shadoW-boX by crit
icising itself.
In Italy, publications dare not
print so much as the name of a
subordinate officer of government
since a recent tightening of Mus
solini's grip on publications.
The old rough stuff of making
editors drink castor oil, or smashing
up their print shops, is past. No
publication is printed today without
the tolerance of Mussolini.
Austria joins the ranks of govern
ment censorship. and announces
that hereafter publications will have
to pursue an Austrian policy and
no other" That means, of course,
the governments idea of an Aus
trian policy.
THE ideal, achieved after more
L than 300 years, won by ink, and
prison, and blood, that men should
have the right to think what they
will, and say it, and print it, and
convey it to others, is sorely beset
today.
Lay aside theory. This is what
the situation might be like today in

Is This Too Good
for Your Cough?

Creomulsion may be a better help
than you need. 1t combines seven
major helps in one-the best helps
known to science. It is made for
quick relief, for safety.
Mild coughs often yield to lesser
helps. No one can tell. No one
knows which factor will do most for
any certain cough. So careful peo-
pie, more and more. are using Creo-
mulsion for any cough that starts.
The cost is little more than a
single help. But your druggist guar
anteeS it, so it costs nothing if it
fails to bring you quick relief.
Coughs are danger signals. For
safetys sake, deal with them in the
best way Observation-Disclosures,

by burning the bishop at the stake, Patrick
seized the occasion to point out how the pre-
viOusly beautiful day had been ruined by
Lucetmal's thoughtlesSness The crowd agreed
and began to grumble vengefuly. 1t de-
manded Lucetmal to retract his snowstorm
Lucetmal admitted he could not do 50, that
his magic was one-way variety.
CT. PATRICK-still according to Muirchu-
- then demonstrated that he could do what
the Druid could not by restoring the day
to its preblizzard beauty. The throng then
inflicted upon Lucetmal the very punishment
he had proposed for Patrick.
If he met the Druid's practices with those
of a like effect-though produced by another
cause-it is not related that Patrick resisted
the force of the clan leaders with the same
kind of force. He did 60 armed, however, for
had he not been carrying pike on one famous
occasion he could not have converted a power
full King to Christianity.
It seems that Patrick, given audience by
the King. exhorted the latter to Christianity
with such fervor that he drove the end Of
his pike through the monarch's toe. Before
the latter could retaliate. the missionary caused
the injury to be healed instantly. Needless to
say although none Of ST. Patrick's earlier bi-
ographers neglect to say it, the King was an
instant convert.
Such was the expedient quality of the bishops
ministry on all occasions and such were its
results that to him IS given the credit for
rescuing Ireland from its native clustering
barbarity. Down the centuries, the story has
come to give meaning to another st. Patrick's
day ON the 17th Of March.
