will not divulge his evidence, but
here is the story as told in con-
fidential pouches:
American mail, both business
and personal. reaches most of
the countries which Der Fuehrer
has conquered. from Norway in
the north to Greece in the south.
Hitler's censors appear to show
no interest even in business cor
respondence, to those countries.
But letters TO Occupied France
invariably return with the notice
that Mail service has been dis
continued" The ban on delivery
is worded in French. But Occu-
pied France is now a Teutonic
province. Neither state nor post
office department in Washing
ton will attempt to explain this
discrimination.
The answers seems 10 be, as
Mr. Hull comedies in off mo-
ments, that Hitler aims to de-
stroy the spirit and the soul of
La Belle France. He has cut off
the occupied area from tele-
phones, telegraphs, radio, news
papers. He wants the French
TO feel that they have been de-
serted by the people OF the
world. and especially by the
British and by US. That's why
he won't let US carry the mail
on its accustomed rounds in Oc-
oupied France.

headed by Vice President Henry
Wallace has gone to work with

In view Of these facts, 1t fol-

The all important factor for a

fact that the set amount of cash

PESSIMISTIC REPORT
ON ARMS To RUSSIA

The problems involved IN
supplying Russia with arms are
highlighted In a confidential
memo which w. Averill Harri-
man has sent back TO Washing
ton since his first Moscow con-
ferences with Stain.
Despite promises from Britain
and the United States of about
aid to Russia. the Harrimanites
discovered soon after their ar
rival in the Russian capital that
the detail OF getting them there
had not been considered. The
hustling Hartman sscertained
that one member OF his mission
is regarded generally as one of
this country's smartest transpor-
tation experts. Until Hartman
stumbled across him. he had
been left out of the picture He
was sitting in the Savoy hotel
lobby twiddling his thumbs.
Hartman assigned him the task
OF finding out the best routes
for shipping L. s. and British
arms into Russia.
The transport mans report
was pessimistio. War goods
cannot be moved into the Soviet
through Iran or Vlsdivostok be-
cause OF the tremendous dis
Iances and the difference in
railroad gauges outside and in
side Russia Stain insisted on
having a railroad differentia In
order 10 cut off Russia from
the cspitslistie world. So, &C
cording 20 our missions con-
illusions. there is only one port
OF entry for arms to Russia.
That Is Archangel, whose harbor
is free from ice only during the
brief period from July 70 Sep

THROUGH the latter part Of
L the term Of George WASH
ington and during the admins
trstion Of Jefferson. American
newspapers were divided into
two classes-those that were for
the party in power and those
that were against IL Generally
speaking the newspapers have
not changed a great deal in that
respect.
On one side were the Federalist
newspapers supporting the poll
cies Of George Washington; on
the other side the Republican
organs. Each faction did every
thing possible 10 diseredit the
press of the other.
After he had been president
two years and had been attack
ed by the Federalist press. JEFF
ferson sponsored a campaign
against the papers Of that party.
His style of attack is indicated
In excerpts from a letter he wrote
to Gov. Mexican, Of Pennsylvania
in 1903:
The Federalists having failed
in destroying the freedom Of the
press by their gag laws, seem to
have attacked it in an opposite
form. that Is by pushing its
RIGHTEOUSNESS and its lying to
such a degree of prostitution as
to deprive It Of all credit. And
the fact 10 that even the
least informed of the people
have learnt that that nothing
in a paper is 10 be believed.
This is a dangerous state of
things, and the press ought to
be restored 10 its credibility II
possible And ! have there
fore long thought that a few
prosecutions OF the most promi-
nent offenders would have
wholesome effect in restoring
the integrity of the presses. Not
q general prosecution. for that
would look like persecution; but
selected one"
Even some of the newspaper
publishers agreed with the
thought expressed by jefferson.
John Ward Fenno, who succeed
ed his father as editor of the
Gazette Of the United States in
1899 wrote:
American newspapers are
the most false, base, servile and
venal publications that ever poll
luted the fountains of society;
their editors are the most ignor-
ant, mercenary and vulgar auto
nations that ever were moved by
the continually rusting wires of
sordid mercantile avarice
The newspapers of America are
admirably calculated to keep the
country in a continued state of
insurrection and revolution"
fenno's remedy was establish
ment of professional and educa-
tional standards for newspaper
editors just as we now require
standards for those who direct
the public education system.
One newspaper man, Joseph
Dennie, editor of the Farmers
Weekly, of Walpole, New Ham
shire. agreed with Fenno. His
caustic but interesting denoun-

Dennie, unlike some of the
other critics Of newspapers, par
took freely of his own prescrip-
ton. His was the most original
paper published in the then
United States. He refrained
from taking material from other
papers. His style was pure
English, and to leave out a COM
ma or commit the common error

ject and misuse the possessive
form was little less than trea-
son. The result was that this
weekly paper developed a cir

government 10 Washington and
the complete defeat of the Fed
erslist party In the national
election. Because that was
where important news was Great
ed. Washington became the
headquarters of the nations
leading papers.
One of the first newspapers to
move To Washington was Sam
uel Harrison Smiths Gazette, of
Philadelphia. With the Gazette
he published the tri-weekly Ma
tional Intelligencer. Smith, who
wrote shorthand. asked permits
sion to report the debates and
proceedings of the house. Be-
cause he was a Democrat and
the remnant Of the Federalist
party controlled the house by
one vote, the privilege was
denied.
When the next election gave
the Democrats a majority, Smith
and other newspaper represen-
tatives were assigned places in
the house. That was the be-
ginning Of the congressional
press section of today.
For many years Washington
continued 10 be the newspaper
capital Of America The admin
istration papers were supported
by government advertising and
patronage. The opposition papers
had poor pickings but continued
