Everybody Else Seems TO Take q Week
And Now Newspapers Have Their Chance
Story Starts With Humble Beginning

II beginning observance OF
American Newspaper Week.
oct. 1 to s. TINS column presents
an Introduction n the story Of
how We obtained freedom 81 the
press IN this country and how
much.
The story goes back To about
the time English colonization
was getting under way on a biz
scale in America The first
newspaper. or what finally de-
veloped into the newspaper. was
published in England. and Amer
lean newspapers for many years
after were almost exact replicas
of the English publications.
More than that, the first Ameri-
can newspapers were dependent
upon the English papers for
their news. In reality. like
great many other good things
this country claims for its own,
the newspaper idea came from
England.
In reviewing the history Of
the development Of journalism,
there appears the information
that newspapers did not make
their appearance in any form
for about a hundred and fifty
years after Caxton set up his
press and with few cases of
movable type started the first
PRINT shop IN England. That
was in 1876. Then one day in
1921, the town crier awoke 10
find that his field had been in
vaded by small sheet across
the TOP of which was printed:
CoRANTE, OR NEVVES FROM
Italy, Germanie Hungarie,
Spaine and France
The sheet. about by II
inches, was filled with fine type
set in two columns giving for
eign news that had come from
the countries designated by the
slow post of that day.
The publisher was Thomas
Archer. He obtained permits
sion from the crown to try the
experiment. hut when he en-
larged the size of the sheet
he was put in prison.
Primitive as they were. the
new mediums of intelligence"
at once became popular. and in
time there were other adven-
lures in that field. AS the move
ment developed, the authorities
increased the restrictions and
added to the penalties for I'M
licensed publication. The effect
of that was the "bootlegging' of
the printed sheets and the addi-
ton of neighborhood gossip to
the foreign intelligence"
This local news was obtained
by young men who went about
London picking up bits of COS
sip but seldom taking the trou-

War
Interpretive
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON

The noteworthy fact about the
arrival of many thousand" Aus
tralians at Singapore is that they
got there unopposed.
If Japan actually was preparing
to enter the war soon on the side
of her European Axis affinities,
that hardly could have happened.
1t was an opportunity lost for
Japan if she was poised for a
dive into the conflict Japanese
interception and destruction of that
huge destruction of that huge
British troop movement YOU
have been jarring blow to Brit
ain and possibly great boon to
Berlin and Rome. 1t might well
have altered the jittery status quo
in the Balkans and even led to
Greek capitulation to Italy under
Nazi threats.
Offers Mediation
Instead of war, however, Japan
offers peace mediation to Britain,
either in the Far East or in Eu-
rope, or both. That special mes
sage" from Toxic to London is
perhaps unique in the history of
diplomacy.
Japan could not have seriously
believed that her offer would be
accepted She had her answer in
advance in the arrival at Singa-
pore of the big Australian force.
There is no record of case in
which the British, or any other
people not already crushed to SUBJ
mission. accepted a mediation Of
fer from a potential member of
the enemy team.
Japan's purposes are still being
judged in London and in Washing
ton, largely in the light of her
treaty alignment with the Nazi-
Fascist axis. Whether or not that
treaty committed Japan to any
definite action its implications
were plain - and they were not
friendly to Britain in her dark
hour.
That leaves two possible motives
for the japanese peace move. 1t
might have been inspired from
Berlin as an off-shoot of the Nazi
peace move aimed at Greece. Or
it might have been a gesture de-
signed to impress the home folk
in Japan.
There has been speculation about
possible split between japanese
army hot-heads, held to be respon-
sible for the China incident'
which has plagued Japan for years
now, and the navy clique. The
army politicians are credited with
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-02-20

desire to strike at Singapore
and push on southwark while Brit
ain is too busy at home to send
her main fleet to that front. Navy
opinion is said to oppose such ac-
ton.
Understandable
That would be understandable
Attacking Singapore would be pri-
marily navy job, especially since
it has been heavily reinforced with
Warcraft, men, planes and guns
from Australia. The task, involv-
ing transportation of big JAP
anese army, would have to be per-
formed over long and exposed
line of communications with Japan.
On the flank of that line stands
American naval power in the Pa
cific. What it might do in any
Far Eastern war emergency is a
factor Japanese policy makers can
not ignore. In the event of Unit
ed States clash with Japan, Ameri-
can naval strategists could ask
nothing better than to get the JAP
anese main fleet out in the open,
away from its home bases, as it
would be in an attack on Singa-
pore.
This all foots up into the notion
that Toxic had some domestic rea-
son for making the peace gesture.
The circumstances of it's publica-
ton tend to support that view. It
was virtually announced in Toxic
as cabinet spokesman's idea be-
fore it reached London officially.
That technique had this advan-
tage: If ordinary diplomatic pro-
cedure had been followed, days or
even weeks might have elapsed
before Japan's action was known
at home. Britain would have con-
trolled the timing of it's publication.
Meanwhile, as Toxic probably
knew the big British expeditionary
force from Australia would have
been landed at Singapore and its
arrival trumpeted to the world. in.
cluding Japan. AS it is, the Toxic
peace GESTURE" empty of result
as it is certain to be, has face
saving values for Japanese high
authorities at home. Face-saving
is an old Oriental custom. /
