Russia furnished to Germany never

Poles Fought With French.
After the fall of Poland, Polish
army, about 100000 strong, was
formed in France and fought very
gallantly when the Germans in
vaded that country. At the collapse
of French resistance, about 10000 OF
these troops were successfully evac-
uated to Great Britain, and about
10000, who were stationed at the
Maginot Line, succeeded in crossing
the frontier into Switzerland, where
they now are interned.
Most of the others are now in
special camps in unoccupied France.
though many have escaped and have
made their way to England to Join
their comrades.
There was also a Polish brigade
with the Allied army in Syria, and
when it became clear that the French
in Syria were going to accept the
armistice terms, this brigade got un-
der arms, and with it's guns and
transport marched across the from
tier into Palestine and reported it.

Comment on A. P. Suit
Government Accused Of Setting Up Monopoly
In News Where None Now Exists

accurate and worldwide news of
current events and conditions"
Baltimore Sun-It is hard to
escape the notion that in suing
the Associated Press as monop-
oily, the Justice Department
really threatens to set up a mo-
nopoly where none now exists
in any dictionary sense.
The Government is asking the
courts to compel the A. P. to sell
its reports to all comers. But the
Government itself admits that
two other agencies operate in
the ews-gathering field. 1t
agrees, to be sure, that these
agencies are inferior to the A.
P. AS matter of fact, it argues
that papers without the A. P.
cannot compete with papers
which have the A. P.
But such an argument neces-
sarily implies that the A. P, far
from being gathering
monopoly, actually opens field
to other news-gathering agencies
by its refusal to open its service
to all comers.
Why then is such suit
brought? Is the Government
perhaps willing to create a mo-
nopoly in orde rto control it?
Omaha World Herald-To
good many it may seem strange
that the Government, in this
time of dreadful war command
ing all our energies. is taking
time out to break down the CAS-
sociated Press system that has
produced results so obviously in
the public interest. If the courts
decide favorably to the Govern
ment's monopoly contention,
then the system is broken down
to the substance of pub
lie utility and as public
utility, it would seem. this or
ganiZation must inevitably
come under Government control.

The suit would compel the
Associated Press, which has
gained a deserved reputation as
the fairest news agency of the
world, to open up its membership

that is now attacking the "A. P.''
SALEM (Oreg.) Capital Journal
- The administration, having
pretty we'll exhausted its lists of

olies to prosecute under the anti

Py the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
The following are excerpts from
newspaper editorials commenting
on the Justice Department suit
against the Associated Press:
Philadelphia Record-The Fed
eral Government has filed civil
suit charging that the A. P. is a
monopoly because it refuses to
sell it's news and picture services
to any newspaper which offers
to buy them.
The Government pays high
tribute to the quality of A. P.
news and picture coverage-says,
indeed. that the service is so good
that it's almost impossible for a
newspaper without A. P. service
to compete with newspaper
which has it. This. of course, is
incorrect. - Neither is it true
that the A. P. is a monopoly. 1t
has two large and healthy COM
petitors, the United Press and
International News Service. BY
curious paradox, it is quite prob
able that if A. P. services were
made available to all comers,
the competitors would be harmed
rather than helped. For, many
smaller newspapers denied A. P.
and now subscribers to U. P. or
I. N. S. would drop their present
service and buy A. P.
Beware of hypocritical cries
that this Federal action against
the A. P. is a freedom of the
press issue. It's not, The issue
Is simply whether or not the A. P.
is a monopoly. The civil suit
concerns the corporate organiza-
ton OF the A. P. 1t in no way
affects either the caliber or trust
worthiness of the news it now
distributes or will continue to
distribute, no matter how the suit
is decided.
st. Paul Pioneer Press-This
action is more than a domestic
affair in the newspaper business
and is properly subject of public
interest. When the Govern
ment starts regulating the press,
then free press is really lost and
there could be no news except that
issued by or stamped and certi-
fled by whatever group of politi-
clans were running the Govern
ment.
Watertown IN. " Times-Only
recently the Government pro-
ceeded against the Chicago Tri-
bune under the Espionage Act,
but the case was thrown out of
court. Now comes this long an
ticipated assault on the Associ-
ated Press. Is it the first step in
move on the part of the admin
istration to control the American
press?
Battle Creek (Mich.) Enquirer
and News-Naturally, the Asso-
ciated Press newspapers of the
country do not think their news
gathering arrangement is part of
or party to any trust or combi-
nation in restraint of trade. They
appreciate the compliment which
the statement of the Govern
ment's case gives to their news
gathering agency in describing it
as the greatest and most reli-
able of all news-gathering agen-
cies."
Jackson (Mich.) Citizen Pa
triot-The Associated Press, a
mutual .non-profit organization,
has not grown to what it is today
because a group of newspaper
members wished to create a mo-
nopoly of news, which is impos-
sible, but because through the
