true, it would seem the part Of wisdom
for those concerned with civilian NOR
ale to make such disclosures impossi-
bic And the way to make them impos-
IDLE lies not in covering them up, be-
cause that can't be done And it is not
in keeping the newspapers from print
ing the disclosures. because that can't
be done either, though there are some
who Will always try. If these things
exist they should be disclosed and they
should be printed and they should be
resented, The way to keep these cases
from disturbing public confidence IS
not to have such cases. A finer service
than wedding them out could hardly
be performed. Such a job would be a
real contribution to winning the war
and it is a lot more simple, practical
and Inexpensive than many of the
ianciful schemes with which the prop
agandiSts are now engaged Sometime
ago, Mr. M2cLeish made speech in
which he urged the American press to
police itself What about the Admins
tration, Of which he is a part, policing
itself little? The need is great.
