mission yesterday acted to prevent
evasion of the securities act by stock
issuers who attempt to resort to "pri-
vate financing" to avoid registration
with the commission.
John j. Burns, commission counsel,
gave an extensive opinion on the ques-
ton, limiting issues which may be
classified as n-public offerings.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
New Dealers Fail as
Censors of Own
News.
BY PAUL MALLON.

-7 HE trouble with all these vague
charges about a New Deal
censorship is that no one can
l. prove anything. If something
is suppressed, it does not get
out; at least. not often.
An exception to that rule may be
offered by a confidential general
memo addressed to all personnel in
the Interior Department and Public
Works Administration, dated Novem-
Der 81, 1884, and, until now, un-
published. 1t tells its own story. as
follows:
THE Secretary Of the Interior is
seriously concerned over the frequency
of departmental news leaks and has
ordered that every precaution be
taken to prevent the issuance OF
official information through un-
authorized channels. To this end
you are requested to cooperate In
the publicity procedure indicated
herein.
"The Department Of interior
publicity division, headed by Mr..
MtCftucL DEuuS, Is IHe CGHTuL

OF the department and its sub
, divisions. Mr.. f. is assigned to

Congress Included.


There is a second memo which will
be even more interesting to the pro-
posed Dies Congressional Investigating
Committee. 1t is dated December 5,
1884, and indicates that restrictions
against the press also have been ap-
piled to members of Congress. 1t tells
its own story also. as follows:
Calls are occasionally received from
various sources inquiring regarding
positions, certifications, personnel mat
ters, etc. This is especially true with
reference to the Congress. Well-mean-
ing applicants for positions request
members of Congress to call the indi-
vidualS in this bureau who have inter-
viewed them after certification. When
calls of this kind are received they
should be referred to my Office and
no information of any kind whatso-
ever, for any reason, should be given
My Office will carefully explain that
no information can be given regarding
personnel matters other than by Mr.
Burlew's Office
Matters relating to personnel must
not under any circustances, for any
reason, be discussed with members of
Congress.
"(Signed)
WILLIAM A. F. STEPHENSON,
Chief of Operations.
Ineffective Censorship.
These two memos explain the CEN
sorship business fully. The fact that
the Interior Department has been un-
able to keep secret even these private
departmental matters is proof enough
that such steps are generally inef-
fective.
Furthermore, the Interior De-
partment UiH argue these moUes
do not seek to effect a censorship,
but only to chdnneltse sources OF
information so that incorrect in
formation tUill not get out. You
may recall this lOdS the eTpldnG-
ton for q somewhat similar order
issued by Treasury Secretary Nor
genthGu soon after he took office.

For several years there have been
signs that the cult OF obscurity in lit
erature Is on its way out. James
Joyce and Gertrude Stein continue to
function, but the latter at least now
seems mainly to be protecting a vested
interest, like losing trolley line that
keeps going because it has franchise.
II some enterprising statistician had
kept . chart showing the number of
new imitators each year, It would un-
doubleday have shown q distinct fall
ing off In 1894. Most of the former
cryptologtsts have now set up as
Communists. Far from wanting to
be understood only by a select few, or
by nobody, they are now writing for
the Workers.
When the cult Of obscurity was at
It's peak, some Of its practitioners told
us that what they were really setting
down were the thoughts Of the sub
conscious mind, though how they
could write such thoughts unless
these had first passed through their
conscious mind, and how they could
be sure that their conscious mind had
not distorted or transmogrified the
thoughts in the process, was never
very clearly explained. Another thing
We were told by the cult leaders was
that they were just writing to express
and satisfy themselves and not to be
understood by the reader. because
they didn't want to go to all that
trouble. This would have been easy
to believe II they had not published
their work, and had not obviously
gone to far more pains to be obscure
than it could possibly have cost them
to be clear. One suspects that
