IF UNCLE SAM desires the help of many of the
nations newspapers in selling defense bonds and
stamps, the old gentleman will have to pay for it
at regular advertising rates.
On January 3, less than four weeks after Pearl
Harbor, Editor and Publisher" the Bible of the
Lords of the Press" demanded that newspapers
be paid for cooperating in the war bond drive
Since then more than 100 publishers have taken
up the cry and the list grows daily and the cry be-
comes more clamorous.
Publishers associations and trade publications
are telling the government that the British gov
ernment is today the biggest advertiser in the
English press, accounting for II per cent of its
total advertising.
A similar proportion of 1871 advertising in this
country would mean our government would pay
over to the newspaper subsidy of at least $40
100000 year.
This would be in addition to a subsidy of $780,
100000 the newspapers are already getting in
special mail privileges, not to mention other fav-
ors, including valuable tariff concessions.
Radio broadcasting chains have given of then
invited the people to JOIN in what they described
porting the campaign.
But with the commercial press it is q differ
cnt story. Publishers take the position that theil
patriotism ends at their advertising columns.

KEEPING Up WITH THE CHANGES

MANY INDUSTRIES have been able to switch
A'A all their usual activities into production.
Other groups and dealers have suffered heavy
losses and closed down temporarily.
The reports collected in Washington show that
the majority of the country's merchants are meet
ing conditions by studying the changes and fluc-
tuations in styles, fabrics, in women's dresses,
mems clothing, food supplies, glassware, silver
ware, electrical appliances, furniture electrical
apparatus, rugs and carpets, tools, fuel OIL sport
ing goods, vegetables and fruits-and keeping up
their advertising to let their public know what the
changes are in products, prices and quality.
The idea that there is nothing to ADVERTISE
has almost evaporated and it is realized that there
lis need for local advertising today than there
ever was before. Because few great national
industries are not in business as usual is not a
good reason for state and local institutions to cur
tail their advertising.
Surveys show that weekly farm papers have
increased their advertising lineage. The respon-
|sbity falls heavily on the retailers to put local
daily and weekly papers in the same class, and in
stead of Sitting down and taking it" let the public
know how to handle their problems some of
(which are opportunities - and meet the current

IS THIS THE WAY TO WIN THIS WAR?

I,fiOSE edtOfS politicians and lnduStl1allStS who
are devoting their days and nights to lying
about American workers, may well give thought
to what happened in Houston, Texas, last Tuesday
night.
The foes of labor hired the local Coliseum and
time. The labor press is also generously sup
as "a drive to increase war production" Of course,
the speakers had little to say about war produc-
ton. They concentrated their fire on the 40-hou1
week and time and a half for overtime.
They shouted the familiar falsehoods about
American workers which have been so completely
refuted by President Roosevelt and every respon-
sible official who has anything to do with war
production.
In the audience were many workers. The ma
jority were engaged on war work. Naturally, they
resented the torrent of abuse hurled at them and
at their fellow workers in all parts of the country
They protested. They demanded that labors
side be heard. The sponsors of the meeting reveal
ed their unfaimess by refusing this reasonable
request.
About that time the workers lost their tenn
pers. They marched to the platform. They shout
led into the "mikes" warning the radio audience
THAT it was being deceived
Finally, the situation became SO bad that the
foes of labor had to yield. Labor was given a
chance to say something, but, according to the
press dispatches, "only at the end Of the regular
program" This meant, of course, after the speak
lers were off the air.
If this campaign of brazen lying continues
clashes like that at Huston will be taking place
Jail over the country. Does any sane man believe
that is the way to win this war?

HOW THE FREE PRESS" SMOTHERS
PRO-LABOR NEWS
(From American Labor Citizen)

THE BEST way for the American public to find
out what the so-called "free press" is doing to
their mental apparatus and how they are beng
dshed out only what the biased 'free press
wants them to digest, is for everybody to read the
columns of the "Washington Merry-Go-Rounders, -
Pearson and Allen.
The air waves are crowded with self-styled
commentators who follow in the lead of the free
press" but somehow or other Pearson and Allen
deal them straight from the shoulder. Here is one
culled from the Congressional Record that Pearson
and Allen alone brought to the attention OF the
public. Every newspaper IN the country ducked IL
as they ballyhooeyed Smith of Virginia and the
profit above democracy" StoOgelets in the drive OF
the Tories at Washington to smother organized
labor.
We take the liberty here to quote from "Ihe

umn as published in the San Francisco Chronicle

widely reported.
But there was a speech made in the House the
other day about which not one line went out. AS
far as the public is concerned, the speech was
never made. But if you'll turn to pages 26S7-9l OF
the Congressional Record you'll find the hottest,
most sensational charges heard on Capitol Hill IN

before he came TO Congress. These are the bomb
shels-so mysteriously unreported -- which he
tossed:
"0) That the labor furor breakdown was a
carefully planned scheme initiated by certain buSl-

"(2) That its purpose was to divert public at
tention and anger from the disclosures of huge

SENSE IN CENSORSHIP

WYE OUGHT to give our enemies credit for Oh
W servaton and deduction from scenes and facts
which have passed before their eyes. They can APP
praise accomplished facts as well as we, and in
theatres of war so distant from Washington as
those active, it is likely that the Japanese get
the information earlier and more completely than
we do. There does not seem to be much point in
concealment of what has happened.
What is important to the enemy is not the
past but The future and our plans for it. Censor
|shp has a proper function in screening that fu-
ture from hostile eyes and ears, but we doubt
that it serves any useful purpose in yelling the
Ipast with secrecy.
The public doesn't expect grandsand seat at
our battles it does expect in this era of electrical
speed, to get battle news bit more quickly than
Its ancestors did.
