Imperial Valley press., 1942-12-18
A TASTE OF WHAT
COULD HAPPEN

The strike of New York newspaper
deliverers, ended Thursday when WLB
took over, may seem of scant interest to
Imperial Valley people. 1t should be
of vital interest to all Americans, be-
cause it is demonstrated warning OF
what outright censorship Of the press
would mean to this country.
Consider what happened in New York
when deliveries of the cltyS biggest
newspapers were halted for four days.
One boy "bootlegged" dozen papers
into hotel lobby, and sold them to news
hungry patrons in few minutes Tor
total price of S4.
Rumor mongers had a field day, with
citizens accepting all kinds of wild stor-
les about the war, about domestic af
fairs, about everything under the sun.
Christmas shoppers were stunned, un-
able to find from the ads where to go for
what they wanted to buy
A newspaper man on the subway, with
four papers under his arm. was practl-
cally mobbed by people who wanted to
see them.
Another subway rider left a tabloid
on his seat when he got off. Half a dozen
men jumped for it and tore it to shreds,
then settled down to read the fragments.
Business men, clerks and war construc-
tion workers alike took time off from
their Jobs to 60 to the newspaper offices
for latest editions.
All this, of course, is what happens
when the people cannot get their daily
newspapers. But, in the background, is
a grimmer warning than at first appears.
The people depend on the newspapers
for their information. The extent OF
their dependence was shown in New Y 1ork.
Suppose that dependence were turned in
to a weapon by some political figures
who wanted to control public opinion and
reaction. Suppose the newspapers were
delivered on schedule-but contained
nothing which some political clique had
not dictated. Suppose the newspapers
were controlled by the government, and
reflected only great credit on the govern
ment no matter what the facts. The
people would still depend upon the pa
pers; their dependence would be betray-
ed.
1t is no wonder Adolf Hitlers first
move upon arising to power in Germany
was to Danish freedom of the press.
