KEEP NEWS FREE

The executive director of The Associated Press, Kent Cooper, used a good phrase for old freedom in recent address in New York. He spoke of "the right to know The citizen is entitled to have access to news fully and accurately presented There cannot be political freedom in one country, or in the world without respect for "the right to know"
 MT. Cooper believes that If at Versailles had insisted upon freedom of the press in Germany. and if had compelled French and English allies to put aside their selfish plans for the establishment of their own news hegemony over Germany this war may not have occurred soon if at all" But the failure to keep free and unpolluted in Germany and the Continent only part of general failure. If had controlled Germany to the extent of keeping her press free after the rise of Hitler would also have prevented his rise. If we had had an international understanding and an international agency to keep all world news free the same under standing and agency would have been used in other fields
 It remains true that control of for evil pur- poses has been both a symptom and of the decline of freedom in the world Newspaper makers and newspaper readers alike follow MT Cooper in his advocacy of world wide free press world wide communication system and the necessary facilities for newsmen to do their work everywhere without interference" In war or in conditions approaching this ideal cannot be fully realized In peace it

Musical Featherbed
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Tmes)
 In a total war in period of grave labor shortage at a time when Congress is considering National Service Act, it is a national scandal that make work and featherbedding rules and practices should continue to exist substantial scale panel of the Regional War Labor Board has just called attention
 to of the most notorious of these This is in nection with a in which radio station WOV is seeking to free itself from its present obligation to New York Local BOP of the American Federation of Musicians to employ quota of twelve musicians.
 The Labor Board panel, in a report prepared by pr. Herbert R. Northrup, finds that the station obviously has no need for twelve musicians, and recommends reduction of the quota to five It points out that featherbedding and without-work rules obviously contribute to the present labor shortage. It adds that the displayed musicians can easily find work today either at their own trade or at some other: They learn to perform new jobs, as H. 900 and in the armed services and many more millions in work have done To be sure, this is harsh statement. But it is quite mild compared to the realities of war"
 Unfortunately, the report of the panel does not take cear-cut position as it might have taken. In one passage it seems to admit that the forced employment rule might have been defensble if it not for the 2-cent tax imposed by the union each record manufactured; for it holds, the revenues from this private tax ostensbly for protection against unemployment continued imposition of un- necessary employment quotas would amount to a system of double taxation" This would imply that ustifiable for private interest levy at least single tax for it's own benefit-an implication that cannot be accepted Further, by suggesting that the compulsory employment quota in this case be reduced from twelve to five the panel report in effect susans the principle of compulsory employment. The report would have been on much stronger ground if it had insisted that employer, in wartime, should be obliged to hire labor that he does not want and does not need.
 It is only because of -sghtedness that union rules to provide unnecessary jobs be made to plausible even in peacetimes Many people think only of the particular workers directly affected by these rules They do not see that money spent for such workers leaves, ultimately, less purchasing power to employ other workers Workers employed because they needed contribute equivalent goods and services for the wages received They thus help enrich the whole community. Workers who are employed by compulsion and who do not return equivalent in needed work are merely parasites upon the munity.

tegic Services started to do the same thing They actually organ ized an embryo committee of anti Hitler Germans, headed by a minister in the old Bruening Cabi- net, who also was strong Catholic leader. (Bruening is now teaching at Harvard.) Most of the German committee were Catholic moderates or leftistS, all strong -Hitlerites
 However, a few weeks after the committee was started, the State Department heard about it and suddenly called a halt. OSS off cials always suspected the hand of Hugh Wilson, eX-Ambassador to Germany, ill this. Wilson, then a member of the OSS, had leaned toward rightist German groups when he was Ambassador to Berlin and had little use for groups of the left. His colleagues in the OSS however, believed that the way to build counter political attack against Hitler was with strong Catholic leaders of the left and center
 At any rate, the American move to work inside Germany through the Office of Strategic Services was stopped short in it's tracks, while the Russians continued to build up their powerful German committee

PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE STYMIED

Meanwhile, however, the U. s. Army had set up its Psychological Warfare Division which was to spread propaganda inside Germany though on more modified scale. However, it's work also has been stymied in many areas through the failure of old-line Army men to understand the value of psy- chological warfare.
 For instance, plans were drawn up for the Psychological Warfare Division to establish a German language newspaper as soon as we took Aachen. Aachen was to be a guinea-pig, providing experience for PWD in overseeing production of newspapers for the German popula- tion. When the city was taken, PWD immediately sent three men from Paris to survey the facilities in Aachen for presses, equipment, newsprint and skilled personnel.
 Thus far nothing has been ac- complished-in fact, the divisional commander at Aachen has not yet permitted the PWD team inside the city. There were several weeks prior to the German break through of December during which the news paper could have been started, but nothing was accomplished, and there has been no progress since. Result is that our forces will break into Germany and take over scores of German newspapers with no part of the Army yet having had any

 Here Short spoke of the opti- mistic calculations of an early end of the war issued by U. s. military leaders as long ago as 1943. He also accused the Army of respon- sibility for present-day production difficulties because they canceled contracts; they terminated con- tracts; they closed one factory after another all over this country and threw thousands of people out of employment"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 9

Adverse planetary aspects are active today The mind may be as- sailed by fears and anXieties regard- ing postwar economic conditions.
 HEART AND HOME: Temper ance will be much preached at this time when the custom of drinking extends more and more among wo- men of all ages. There is sign read as presaging prohibition movement which will be bitterly fought and will make little headway.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Contin- uance of prosperity is forecast. The volume of trade on the Pacific Coast will be even greater than last years although it may be less in other parts of the country. War industries will speed production and agriculture will bring good returns.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Reckless spending will be one of our national problems. Jewellers will profit as young workers indulge their desire for diamonds and other gems
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Training in empire building, which has imbued statesmen with respect for traditions now outworn, will cause confusion in many United Ma tions issues. However, there is a sign read as presaging broadening of views and better understanding of democracy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gen. eral success. Love and domestic ties come under happy direction.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be bright in mind and active in body. Many scientists belong to this sign.

LOST MOTION is an enemy OF
prosperity, serious as fire. 1t de-
stroys property and wastes ener-
gy. This is just as true in a
human organization as in a me-
chanical assembly. Nobody is
richer for employing a crew that
keeps busy all day and accom-
plishes nothing. On a farm, for
example, work is necessary;
sweat and callouses are inciden-
tails. It's the crop that brings in
the money and pays the men.
Prosperity results from work
but not from all work. Prosperity
results from productive work.
People who keep busy but don't
increase the WELD might as well
be resting. The man who figures
out way to increase yield with
out extra labor is the best man
on the job. He works with his
brain; knows enough to stop lost
motion, to Ike precautions
against fire, and the like.
