CITIZENS Defend

Sixteenth Street Heights Associa.
ton Opposes Peoples Counsel
Substitute.

Opposition to proposals to replace
the Public Utilities Commission by a
peoples council unit was recorded last
night by the Sixteenth Street Heights
Citizens Association, which met in the
Shepherd School.
The plan was embodied in a five
point program sponsored by the re-
Gently organized Citizens Conference
on Transportation, which has asked
the heights groups support. The as
sociation held the peoples counsel plan
Objectionable because of necessity for
larger funds than now needed, and
further because "a lesser degree of
competence would be achieved by COM
parison to the present utilities body"
The resolution stated the commission
Is comprised Of capable men of the

association would concur with what

reporter sometimes is disposed to re-

Reader Censorship Held Factor.
He also cited q class OF censorship
imposed by the readers-those who
won't read . newspaper unleas they
know In advance they will agree with
what 1t says. This, he said, leads edi-
tors to publish what they think their
particular class Of readers wants and
to understress material Objectionable
to them. As an illustration, he said,
the New York Times during <She late
stages Of the World War published an
editorial approving story suggesting
that Germany might be willing to dis
cuss peace terms. The result, he de-
clared, was that 50 many persons can.
celed their subscriptions to the paper
that = weaker publication might have
been seriously injured.
Reiterating, however, that despite
these defects the American press Is
better than any other, he said that Of
the worlds population today 1885,
100000 people enjoy no freedom Of
the press at all: 450, 0,00O, 900 people read
fluctuating press which publishes
the truth one day and complete false
hoods the next. while only az, ,000, 900
people, including those in the United
States, enjoy the degree Of freedom We
have here. He said he included the
radio and the moving pictures in his
Characterization Of the press.
Mr.. Bliven told his listeners In
Constitution Hall that they could i'm
prove their newspapers by writing
intelligent letters to the editor, sending
committees to visit editors, by learning
to read papers critically and by recti-
flying the ills in our civilization.
Questioned by members of the audi
ence, he said he believed too much
prominence was given to crime news,
but warned against its suppression.
He also expressed strong disapproval
OF the editorial policies Of william
randolph Hearst.

j. S. PRESS HELD
BEST IN WORLD
Bliven, Cutting Lecturer,
Charges Some Policies.
Faulty, However.

Bruce Bliven, editor OF the New Re
public, dissected American journalism
for the benefit of a distinguished audi.
ence attending a Bronson Cutting Me-
mortal lecture last night and found
that despite its faults it Is the best
the world has to offer.
He said the caliber OF the editorial
pages has declined greatly in recent
years, but that this has been offset
by the steadily rising standards o1
the news columns of most papers.
Taking as his subject Democracy
and Public Opinion" Mr.. Bliven cited
four types of censorship which he saic
have crept into American journalism
to its detriment.
Against these devitalizing forces, he
said, the development of the American
Newspaper Guild holds hope for the
future His comments on the guild
came in response to a question as tc
whether the development OF this or.
ganization threatened to impair the
impartial preparation of news, par.
ticularly that which bears on labo,
problems.
Sees Ethics Fostered.
II am glad to be asked that ques.
tion," Mr.. Bliven said, "for I believe
the guild tends to promote higher pro.
fessional standards among newspape,
men and offers a measure Of freedom
to reporters who in the past may have
been subjected to pressure to misrep.
resent the news. In my opinion moth
ing in our generation has held forth
so much hope for the future of the
newspaper profession as the coming
of the guild"
The first kind of censorship men.
toned by the speaker is that imposed
by the Government. America, he said
Is freer OF this than any other coun-
try. He said he had investigated sew
eral supposed instances of infringe.
ment OF freedom of the press by the
Government and found them to be
without basis in fact. At the same
time he criticized the American News
paper Publishers Association for what
ne described as its fight against the
press code provisions of the N. r. A.
The second type OF censorship, he
declared, is that which comes from
the advertisers.
Sees Similarity Of Interests.
Sometimes" he said, 'advertisers
try, and less often succeed, in keeping
real news out OF the papers, or in
forcing the publication of false news.
But that is rare. The real danger lies
In the identity of interests between
many publishers and their advertisers.
They belong to the same clubs, they
believe in the same things, and all too
often there results subconscious de-
sire on the part of the publishers to
print what the advertiser will like,
Too large a section of tie press is not
really interested in the poorer one
third Of our people,
He described the third class as the
"self-imposed censorship" of the edi-
tors.
In the newspaper world" he de-
clared, there are unspoken censor
ship orders that are 100 times more
dangerous than the explicit instruc-
tions. There develops q realization
