Pope Sees Editors,
Praises Profession
AS Vital 10 Society
BY the Assccioted Press

ROME, July 12-pope Plus XII
told a group of American newspaper
executives yesterday they have IAN
honorable vocation of vital impor-
tance for society"
Soon you will be back in your
native land" he said, land it will be
your endeavor to make known to
your large reading audience what
you have seen and learned to evalu-
ate the principles and aims of the
men who are shaping these events
and to forecast as far as may be
possible consequences Of the same
ITO do this rightly a free press is
necessary.
Freedom Is Heavy Responsibility.
Freedom may easily become a
catchword for the unWary and
superficial For the serious minded
and conscientious man it is con-
dition fraught with impressive
responsibility.
But he is privileged freely to
choose the good, which is his duty,
and thus to merit the reward eternal
preserved for him by God.
Freedom of the press. like any
other freedom, whether of action Or
speech or thought, is limited; does
not allow a man to print what is
calculated to undermine or destroy
the moral and religious fiber of in
dividuals and the peace and har-
mony of nations.
Must Have Access to Truth.
TT should guarantee a man
against being shackled by material
or selfish interests when he pursues
the laudable purpose of exposing
the truth and vindicating right and
justice. Certainly first postulate
of such freedom is to have access
to the truth.
How often experience has proved
that the long-run good is never
served by distortion of facts. The
world will not be lifted out of the
quagmire of human suffering and
injustice in which it Is agonizing so
long as suspicion. distrusts and
shameful ambitions conceal the
truth from those entitled to know
it for the common good of all.
Common people have their rights in
this matter.
Press Is Honorable Vocation.
You gentlemen of the press have
an honorable vocation of vital i'm
portance for society.
Living up to its dignity and ex-
acting demands, you are in a posi-
ton to exercise influence not fully
appreciated by all in the solution of
the worlds intricate and tragic
problems. Our sincere and earnest
wish is that you measure up always
to this voca ton: And with this We
are happy to invoke Gods blessing
on you and on your dear ones at
