Police Court Judge John P. Nc

Freedom Of Press
Is Held Essential
In Democracy
Profession En- Musse
Resists Pressure,
Publishers Told
xy the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
OLD POINT COMFORT, Va,
June 16.-The Southern Newspaper
Publishers Association was told to-
day that freedom of the press is
essential to the whole conception of
government in a democratic state
and at one with the Christian
religion in affirming the dignity and
worth of the plain man.
DR.. George Lang, professor of
philosophy at the University of
Alabama, the speaker, voiced the
opinion that however individual
editors may betray their trust, the
profession en- maSSe has maintained
its tradition of independence in
working for the true good of the
community and in resisting the pres
sure of those in power.
In the United States, he said, the
press gives the record" as nowhere
else in the world.
DR.. Lang said it was about time
for some group to give the push"
to contemporary society which
would set it off to high purpose and
peaceful ends.
Religion may do this very thing"
he said.
Meantime, our free press today
needs a cause. 1t may be discovered
in the pitiful lot of millions of work
erS who ask no more than the op-
portunity to work with a fair and
lust reward for labor; it may be
found in other millions Of men,
women and children, who suffer
from war or threat of war. In the
South that cause may be found in
the millions of children who are
denied education; in the poverty
stricken areas where both body and
mind are afflicted.
Oscar Johnston, president of the
National Cotton Council OF America,
told the publishers that serious
economic, political and social con-
sequences" would result from what
he described as an 'un-American de-
velopment of intraState trade bar
