DICTATORs FEAR FREE PRESS

At the recent fiftieth annual conven-
ton of the members of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, es-
pecial stress was laid by various distin-
guished speakers on the need for main
tanning inviolate the ancient American
doctrine of freedom of the press.
Colonel Frank Knox, publisher of the
Chicago News, said: "a free press and a
dictator cannot live in the same country.
If a free press exists, dictator is endorsed
and the people retain their liberties If
a free press is destroyed dictator thrives
and the liberties of the people dis
appear"
Sir WillmOt Lewis, Washington cor
respondent of the London Times said !:
THE newspapers of today are not free in
all lands, but where they still have liberty
and defend it-against enemies without
and within-where they stand for discus
sion and agreement, setting themselves
unbreakably against the RECOMMENDATION OF
customs and obedience by goose-step, even
the synic may find place for hope
Other speakers presented similar
views. And it is difficult to see how any
man with knowledge of world history,
ancient and modern, could disagree. The
two greatest treasures any people can have
are free press and the right of free
speech. They constitute the basis of all
liberties They are the very likelihood of
social, economic and political freedom
They are the friends of representative gov
eminent and the enemies of dictatorship.
The newspapers of America have
shown courage in aggressively resisting all
efforts to curb their liberties. In doing
this, they perform duty to the people of
the nation-and they show that they are
worthy of the great responsibility that is
theirs in these discordant times.

PERSONALITY PLUS

Pathfinder tells a sad story which
nevertheless has decidedly humorous
side. 1t concerns a catalogue issued by a
fashionable Finishing school, for girls.
The catalogue was highly attractive
specimen of the printers art, intended to
appeal to the eye as well as the pocket
book of wealthy parents to whom it was
sent.
All the advantages of the school were
set forth most cOnvincingly, the elaborate
curriculum was stressed, and several Eek
traS' were suggested to make the ''finish'
of its girl students entirely complete. One
of these extras for which only $500 add-
tional was required was a course in ''Voice
and Personality
After the catalogues had all been
mailed out, it was discovered that the
printer had omitted one little letter in the
line of type describing this course, which
he had made to read "Vice and Person
atty"
What the school people and the print
er said when the error was discovered is
not recorded.
