THIS MUST NOT
HAPPEN IN AMERICA

There is before the congress of the
United States today one Of the rankeSt
attempts ever made to faSten binders
on the eyes of the American people.
1t is called the official secrets" bill,
and its sponsors call it a wartime meas
ure. 1t provides. in brief, that nobody
shall be allowed to know anything of gov
ernment business, no matter what il Is.
unless the head Of the department from
which the knowledge originates wishes
it to be known.
Don't misunderstand Il does not pro-
vide only that military, naval and diplo-
matte secrets shall remain secret. 1t
provides that all things. whether they
deal with the war effort or not, shall re-
main secret if some stuffed shirt al the
head of some penny ante department IN
Washington wants them to remain secret.
That is no over-statement. 1t IS fact.
If this bill were passed. the agricul-
tural department could hire a swing band
to entertain farmers daughters, and It
could pay each member of the band So
900 year, and by simply certifying the
transaction as confidential the secretary
of agriculture could keep the whole thing
as secret as anybody can keen SWING
band. Once such matter had been GER
titled in the department heads files as
confidential, anyone who published any
thing about it would be liable to a stiff
fine and, possibly, imprisonment
1t seems so outlandishly, utterly I'M
possible that u democratic congress
should consider Such a measure-a meas
ure to "outlaw publication of any infor-
nation relating to a government agency
that specifically authorized for publica-
tion"-that we are naturally inclined to
look for some restrictive measures
against the power that would be given the
various department heads. There are

NOBODY CRJECTS TO
ESSENTIAL CENSORSHIP

No American wants to publish or see
published information Of vital military,
naval or diplomatic nature which would
help the enemy in any way Nobody can
offer any valid objection to censorship
of news or information OF that character.
There has been and will be no objection
to censorship of essential wartime actlv-
tiles news Of which would help the enc
my.
But that does not mean that every
non-war department Of the government,
every relief agency and budget depart
ment, every social reform unit and gov
ernment lending agency, should be al
lowed to have the absolute last say on
what may and may not be told about
its activities.
The official secrets bill, as it IS now
drawn, would permit every single activity
of the government to be hidden from the
people.
Iet's look at an example. Remem-
brance Of the employment by the Oftlce
of Civilian Defense of rhythmic dancer
and a film actor is still fresh. as is re-
membrance Of the wave of designations
which followed disclosure of this employ
ment. Had the official secrets bill been
in effect in the form in which it Is now
before congress, the nation might never
have known Of Mayris Chaney and Mel
vvn Douglas in OCD. All that would
have been necessary would have been an
order certifying their appointments as
confidential" and nothing could have
been published about their Jobs.
The official secrets bill in Its present
form is less a wartime measure than bill
to erect a breastwork around the follies
of federal officials so that nobody may
ever see them.
If congress passes this bill, the people
of this country will be in the same posi-,
ton as the people Of Germany-they will
know nothing and hear nothing except
propaganda Is that what we want?

CABBAGE AND CARROTS

Riverside Press)
Learn to handle a spade as we'll as
fire bomb.
That's the urge from many quarters
of our defense program these days.
The practicability of planting Victory
gardens is being stressed bv millions of
garden-minded people in all quarters of
the U.SA On the one side are those
who frown on too much haste in ploWing
up lawns. flower gardens and city parks
to plant onions and spuds and artichokes.
We believe they are quite sound IN the
stand they have taken.
On the other hand, the rush to buy
vegetable seeds and sets emphasizes the
fact that we are now getting into our
stride in our defense program. AS
matter Of fact a Victory garden will be
a welcome outlet for our pent-up patriot
ism which in no other way could find
eXpr ession. To others digging in the
earth. inhaling the pungent smell of
freshly turned soil, will provide temporary
surcease from worry and war jltters
No matter how one looks on it, the
Victory garden will provide an ideal form
Of relaxation and exercise. If you are
fond Of fresh vegetables and have an eye
to saving a few nickles you will be proud
of the opportunity to pick your own cab
bages and carrots for the family dinner
1t will be a Victory no matter how you
look on it.
