KANSAS DOESN'T BELIEVE
IN KNOWING BOTH SIDES

After the foregoing editorial was
written, United Press dispatches from
Kansas reported that the Kansas State
Board of Review had ordered Sen. Bur-
ton K. Wheeler's speech in opposition to
the Supreme Court plan stricken from
the current issue of March of Time. 1t
is seldom the United States sees fla
grant examples of attempted censor
ship-but this is one of the worst.
Regardless of what you think of Pres
ident Roosevelt's plan to pack the Su-
preme Court with justices favorable to
the New Deal, you cannot deny that the
other fellow has the right to say what he
thinks about it. Just because the politl-
clans in Kansas favor the Presidents
plan. they have no right to censor
speech opposing it.
Americans find in the opinion OF
Frenchman, Voltaire, their most sacred
creed. 1t is, in effect:
al may not agree with what you say,
but / will defend with my lie your right
to say it.
There was nothing obscene. nothing
publicly Objectionable nothing degrad-
ing about what Senator Wheeler SAID.
1t was:
you can say that the privilege of
appointing postmasters will not be ac-
corded to me. You can say that I'll get
no more projects for my state. You can
saw what you please, but l say to you
and to Mr.. Farley, to everybody else,
that | will vote against this proposition
because it is morally wrong; it is moral
Iy unsound; it is dangerous proceed
ing"
The Supreme Court plan may DC a
dangerous proceeding" but how, much
more dangerous is such censorship DIS
that attempted in Kansas

BRINGING
ALL THE NEWS
TO IMPERIAL
VALLEY
4DVERTISING, PROPAGANDA.
PUBLICITY AND GOVERNNENT

Dr. 7. w. Chan, Chinese consul al
MexicaE, believes t h at advertising
propaganda and publicity" are the most
potent forces in the world TODAY in shan
ing the trend of politics. No one who
realizes the far reaching effect of the
printed word can disagree with his as
sertion.
Advertising, according to the diction-
airy, IS the giving of notice or informa-
ton. Propaganda, Webster says, is the
vehicle for spreading a particular doc
trine or system of principles. Publicity
Is the quality or state of being public.
Leaving out only propaganda, we have
what Americans have come to know
as NEWS-the facts of the case.
1t Is important to note that the ma
tions where dictators of one kind or an
other govern even down to what their
people think, are ruled through propa-
ganda, with a minimum of news. The
press and other mediums of communica-
tiOn are under strict government con-
troll and censorship. The people know
and think only what the government
wants them to think.
Progressively, in the more democratic
countries, propaganda is replaced by
news, or-as Webster has it-by adver-
tising and publicity. DR. Chan, how
ever, probably did not go far enough in
his enumeration, because advertising and
publicity, while they present facts alone,
might not present ALL of the facts
Perhaps he should have included news
in his list of potent factors, because
news, as Americans define it. is a pre-
sentation of all of the facts, without
bias or prejudice, untinged by propa-
ganda.
The news is necessary in any nation,
the people of which are to have an in
telligent hand in their own government.
Where news is suppressed, and propa-
ganda substituted, dictatorship cannot
be far behind Where facts are present
ed in news, it becomes the responsibility
of the people, through use of their own
minds, to study and evaluate plans and
programs, and to choose those they most
desire. News is the basis of democracy.
1t is not difficult TO trace the rapid
rise of civilization in recent centuries
and it is not surprising to find the most
striking fact of that rise the parallel
lines drawn between development of
printing and development of civillza-
tion
The printed word can be the most
dangerous force on earth if employed to
spread propaganda. 1t can be the most
constructive if employed for the sake
of advertising, publicity and NEWS.

No Enthusiasm for Farm Tenancy
Problems Congress FOrgets TO
SAFEGUARD Investments

WASHINGTON - Congress apparently has
very little enthusiasm for lasting solution OF
farm tenancy evils.
That's why it has been easy for big owners
of farm land, strategically placed on the House
Agriculture committee to torpedo-at least tenn
porary-the administrations first feeble nlbole
at the problem presented by growing army
of farm tenants and share choppers, Whlch IN
cludes 100000 families in the south alone.
The committee decided on a compromise
measure which would provide s50,0000 600 for loans
to tenants who want to buy farms. That COM
promise also leaves such tenants free to revert
to tenancy by selling their equities, by letting
their farms go TO ruin or by getting into deoV.
Attempts were made to cut the fifty millions
to a smaller sum.
The compromise" takes the place of a plan
which would have provided for supervision and
safeguards designed to preserve security OF
tenure for tenants who might become land
owners. This plan called for purchase and sale
of land by the government
Tenants would have been given from 20 to
40 years to amortize. and titles would not have
passed in less than 20 years. MeanWhile,
federal agency would have supervised the farm-
ing seeing to it that the soil was protected
and farms kept up.
However paternalistic this may have seemed,
nearly everyone who had studied the snare
cropper problem intensively and sympathet-
cally was favoring it as the only practical me-
thod OF approach to an acute condition OF misery
poverty and squalor.
The committee at first Toted by narrow
margin to throw the whole plan out Asked to
reconsider. the committee stood II to Il on the
second vote.
Three members were especially vehement in
opposition TO the government purchase-lease-
sale plan and are given credit for killing IT,.
They were:
CONGRESSMAN Richard NJ. Keberg of Texas,
mart owner of the King ranch, largest ranch in
the world and twice as big the state of Rhode
Island.
Congressman Harry B. Coffee of Nebraska,
nras;dent of the Coffee Cattle Co., which has
extensive ranch holdings and owner and oper-
ator of several FARMS .
Congressman Hampton p. Fulmer of South
Carolina proprietor of the big Barnes farm III
Orangeburg county.

voted against the administration program, pro-
posed by Chairman Marvin Jones Opponents
