 So much for the political and governmental con- dtions Trere remains what the newspapers and news papermen themselves must be to achieve true freedom of press Since financial stability is essential requirement of paper able to resist subsidies or venal influences, MT. Berkson urges that the press abroad fix standard advertising rates and leasn to depend upon advertising and circulation revenue rather than Gas has been often the subsidy and payments for editorial influence from various individuals and interests He also advocates higher standards of pay for foreign editors and reporters since many banefu customs have arisen from made quatey paid newspaper staffs. It remains then for the newspapers themselves adopt and live up to the precepts of ethical journalism In aggregate all of MT Berksons suggestions perhaps do not comprise the full formula for worldwide freedom of the press, but they go far in that dreetion-much farther than the lofty but limited resolutions frequently advocated as the abracadabra which need only to humble to achieve the ideal of world wide freedom of the press.

PRESS FREEDOM

The general public and many statesmen have placed worldwide freedom of the press as one of the beginning points for worldwide freedom It is indeed, a very necessary prerequisite But alas, it has been too widely supposed that true international freedom of the press be achieved by the lofty rhetoric of treaty or by pronuncamento of the United Nations Organization We only wish the task that simple.

 True freedom of the press depends many things among them the press itself First, of course, it depends upon the general climate of liberty in a country Half the people of the world do not enjoy liberty their daily ves it is too much to suppose that newspapers exist a thing apart from the public The excessive regimentaton of the individual is certain to be reflected in degree, by the abridgement of of the press-because nowhere can newspapers be edited and produced altogether inanimately.
 MT Berkson believes the fundamental guarantee of freedom of the press should be written clearly and forcefuy into the constitution of every country and the broader the declaration the better Beyond that he says each government should guarantee to abstain from government subsidies secret financial mani pulations gain control of any newspaper or news agency There should be special taxation or other penalties restrict the operation of newspapers and beyond that according to MT Berkson, there should be reasonable efforts facilitate and

Job We'll Done
(Washington Post)


 The most disasteful of all war jobs the detention upon suspicion and without trial of approximately 120000 persons of Japanese ancestry, two thirds of them citizens of the United States, nas now been liquidated. It job made necessary through the decision early in 1922 of Gen. John L. Dewitt to exclude all Japanese Americans from the Western Defense Command, of which he was at that time the commander. His exclusion order has since been vai- dated by the Supreme Court grounds of military necessity For part however, hold still to the opinion we have expressed number of occasions that the exclusion altogether unnecessary that it was prompted much more by blind racial prejudice than by military considerations and that the Supreme Courts valdation of it amounted, as MT Justice Murphy charged in a dissenting opinion, to "legaza tion of racsm" The treatment accorded this help less minority remains smudge upon our national honor and threat to elementary principles of freedom
 Once the exclusion error committed, guardian ship of the uprooted Japanese Americans became a Federal responsibility They had to be kept in de- tention centers until they could be relocated in parts the country other than the West Coast The burden of dschargng this unhappy obligation was given to an emergency agency the War Relocation Authority, headed at first by Milton Eisenhower later and through most of it's existence by Dillon S. Myer. It performed it's task with humanity, with efficiency and with conscientious of truseeshp toward the evacuee which made amends for the terrible hardship inflicted upon them. All the associated in this undertaking and in particular MT Myer, who fought vaiantly and pernacously against prejudice for the rights of these unfortunates in his charge take pride in difficult job exceedingly well done.
 When at last the Army rescnded it's exclusion order about 5500 moved back to their former homes in the West Coast States. But about $500 settled eastward new homes Perhaps the dispersal will have some benefits in better integraton of the Japanese Americans into the American society The loyalty of those left here has been meticulously scru
 nized. Out of the whole numDer in the relocation centers, some 300O including quite innocent family members, were transferred to internment camps ad- ministered by the Department of Justice and about 4700 persons were voluntarily repatriated to Japan many of them, doubt because the treatment they received here convinced them they had no hope of leading free lives in America It seems to us that we owe these who remain generous help in getting reesabished and restitution for their property losses

AMBASSADOR CASTILLO'S
 CHICKENS

Some 5000 Washingtonians had their first look around the Mexican Embassy in many years during the sumptuous reception given April 23 by Ambassador Espinosa de los Monteros. At that time old-timers could hardly believe their eyes.
 During tre ten years of Francisco Castillo Najera's stay as Mexican Envoy to the USA, social func- tions at the Embassy were few and far between. Castillo, now his coun- try's Secretary of Foreign Rela- tions, is brilliant statesman but not much for night life. Born and brought up on ranch in northern Mexico, he has always been partial

-TRuMAN,s GIRL FRIEND

The leading lady of the poppy presentation ceremonies to Presi- dent Truman fell hard for the Chief Executive.
 Three-year old Betty Lou Hall, of Eaton Rapids, Mich, one of five orphaned children left by heroic infantIyman killed after the Nor mandy invasion, was selected to put the poppy in Trumans lapel in behalf of war orphans of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 Her job finished, the little girl was asked by photographers if she didn't want to kiss the President. She complied not with one kiss, but a shower of them. In fact, the young lady seemed inclined to con- tinue this part of the proceedings Indefinitely until reminded that her embraces were sufficient for picture purposes.

 New Ambassador Espinosa de los Monteros comes of different background. Socially prominent, he arrived in Washington with plans to hold a big reception as soon as his family was settled. But after one brief inspection of the big stone house on Sixteenth Street, he changed his mind.
 Now, five months later, all is transformed. The whole interior has been renovated and redecorat- ed, converting it into one of the capitals diplomatic show places He has done beautiful job, and the place is a credit to Mexico.
 But members of the Ambassadors personal entourage still shudder slightly when they mention those first days of housekeeping.
 It wasn't so much the litter of odds and ends that shocked them, or the worn rugs, the commodious but hopelessly shabby armchairs, the battered office furniture, or the paint peeling off almost every wall.
 What really floored the fastidious new Envoy and his staff was the auxiliary pantry, next to the ball. room. There, they discovered, con- firmed rancher Castillo had kept large brood of hens.

HEART AND HOME

HEAiLI ANO HUM g
 Under this configuration family pets are favored, but housewives should not permit their childrens pets to add to their burdens and iirritations. Pets have a place in the home and should be kept in it.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Industrial unrest will continue for some time but business should be well on its way out of the post war inactivity and confusion in a few months.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 There is no indication that uni versal military training will become part of American life, though it is possible that much more will be heard on the subject and another effort may be made to "sell' the country on it.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Realism is likely to be the dom inant note of this nations foreign policy when the playing by the big powers is completed. Only the great and powerful na- tions can preserve the peace, and first of all they must preserve it among themselves. Rights of smaller nations must be recognized and respected, but smaller nations should not be permitted to disturb the harmony of the world by de- manding redress for imaginary wrongs.

Make no mistake about it--that
handful Of poll-taxers and racists
from the South has won q battle.
They have won the first round In
the fight for q permanent FEPC,
The move for eloture has been de-
feated - TO SO. This vote for
cloturs was q defeat for all pro-
gressive forces. To identify II as
anything else IL dangerous. The
Negro and other minority groups
are not the only losers. The cause
Of democracy has itself suffered a
great defeat. Let no one think
otherwise. The battle for the
FEPC Is as fundamental as any we
shall have TO wage in our lifetime,
But these Southern Senators should
have II brought to their attention
that they have won not a perma-
nent victory, but only the first
round. A permanent victory Is
something they must not be per-
mitted TO achieve.
The question Of the utmost con-
cern to all Is why did this handful
Of poll-taxers and racists win 7
Why was a small minority able In
this case to impose its will upon
the majorityH
The proponents Of this bill, on
the whole, are men who supported
II because Of their sense Of fair
play. This same fairness and con-
sideration was evident In their at
titude throughout the entire fiji.
buster. But the Southern Senators
were not bothered by such consider
atoms. No trick was too low, no
lie too big for them to tell. They
were a small band Of men who were
willing to do, and did do, anything
TO win. Win, however, they did.
Another thing that greatly con-
tributed TO the defeat Of the FEPC
was that these Southern Senators
were in a position to bargain with
the Republicans. In return for their
support in defeating clOture, they
would aid the Republicans in de-
feRting social legislation in the
future. This Is not to be con-
strued as an indictment Of all Re-
publican Senators. Joseph Ball of
Minnesota, Wayne Morse Of Ore
gon, and others are deserving Of
the greatest praise for their forth
right stand for eloture. It is, how
ever, an undeniable fact that there
are only too many Republicans who
are willing TO play ball with these
Southern Democrats.
The saddest thing to have to say
Is that the lethargy of the Negro

Reqcaonqry South Wins First Round

was a contributing factor to the
defeat Of cloture. II Is a reflection
upon the Negro that in such a
vital battle, he did so little to aid
in winning. The bankruptcy Of
Negro leadership Is too well pic
tured by their absence from Wash
ington during the filibuster. Negro
leadership is shown as being glar-
ingly weak at this time. However,
It must be admitted that the weak
ness Of the leadership is but a
reflection Of the lack Of mass sup
port during the entire FEPC cam
paign.
II the American Negro does not
wake up and take an active part
in these battles which will shape
his future, his plight may indeed
be a sad one. AS poor as most
Negroes undoubtedly are, their
poverty is no excuse for the sparse
funds with which the FEPC COM
mittee has waged this battle. Too
many times too many men have
pleaded with the Negro to wake up
and support his own battles. Too,
too many more times have these
pleas gone unheeded. Yes, this
fight for the FEPC is as vital and
as fundamental as we shall see.
Victory TO these southern racists
must not go by default. II the
Negro is not willing to wage a
showdown battle on this measure,
he does not deserve to enjoy an
America in which he can apply for
q job with the certainty that his
ability alone, and not the color Of
his skin, will determine whether he
shall be employed.
It is ironic that the emotions of
fairplay and idealism which cause
men to support liberal movements
is often the cause Of their defeat
in the same movement. Senator
Dennis Chavez ID. N. Mex.) and
Senator Wayne Morse (R. ore.)
during the filibuster showed the
utmost consideration for the Sena-
tors leading the filibuster. Mr..
Morse said that he would be only
too willing for amendments to be
offered to the FEPC bill. The re-
ply Of q leading filibusterer was
that the bill was not before the
Senate and therefore no amend
ments could be offered. He added
II it ever did come before the Sem
ate he would offer a thousand
amendments to i'll This reply is
indicative Of the despicable attitude
displayed by the Southern Senators
during the entire flibuster.
