HOW THE PRESS MONOPOLY GROWS

'TIE la TOILETTE "PrOgresSiVe,' one of The
most readable weeklieS in America, presents
some interesting figures to show how few indi-
vduals are grabbing the daily press and the radio
1t quotes from a report by the Small War
Plants Corporation, government agency VERY
few communities now have more than one version
of the news" the report says pointing out that
81 per cent of the radio stations are either owned
or controlled by newspaper publishers.
In 1909, there were 1900 daily newspapers in
this country with a circulation of "a 200 900 In
1912, the number Of daes had dropped to ,787
although the circulation had reached 43,374,815
OF almost double
Today the situation is even worse The num-
ber of dailies has decreased by SO, and circulation
has gone up to 48,400000
1t is probable that chains" now control half
the daily circulation, and even more of the Sun
day circulation.

CIVIL RIGHTS

TT IS CHARACTERISTIC of the American Civil
Liberties Union that in it's annual report, just
released, it lists among the events of the year
inimica to civil liberties the "denial by public of
ficias in st. Louis, San Francisco and elsewhere
of freedom of assembly to Gerald L. K. Smith"
The name of Gerald Smith is, of course, a con-
temporary symbol of intolerance; this demagogue
is opposed to every principle which the Civil Lib
critics Union represents. Yet this union stands as
ready to defend his constitutional rights to de-
fend those of any of it's sympathizers and friends.
This is because it knows that the rights of any
man can be infringed only at peril to the rights of
ALL because it understands that the gravest threat
to general freedom lies in the limitation of it in
special cases on grounds of expediency.
In and out of season, the American Civil Lib
critics Union has asserted this principle through
the championship of unpopular causes. 1t is
against censorship, racial discrimination, religious
bgotry, acknowledgement of minorties and re-
striction of individual rights wherever they may
occur and on whomever they may be visited. In
fighting these evils it fights for the freedom of
the whole American society and merits the sup
port and gratitude of all who cherish freedom.

AMERICA UNDER ATTACK
(From the New York Times)

TT is EASY to refute the Russian) charge that
we have enriched ourselves during the war by
simply pointing to our war expenditures, our pub
lie debt our lend-lease gifts, of which Russia was
one of the main benefciaries, and our continued
aid to the relief and reconstruction Of all the
world And if the Russians deduce their charge
from the present appearance of American pros
perity they would be well advised to examine the
source of that prosperity and to resurvey their
own economic system which STILES the nations
energies.
1t is just as easy to refute the charge of our
attempting to exploit the ex-enemy countries for
our advantage. For the only thing we demand is
economic freedom in free world and equality
without discrimination. 1t is Russia which seeks
to impose a discriminatory monopoly arrange
ment along the lines previously employed by the
Nazis, which mean exploitation and slavery.
Finally, it is almost superfluous to point out
that in contrast to Russia's vast annexations and
spoils of war we demand neither territory belong
ing to others, nor reparations, nor any other sell
fish advantage, except the establishment of con-
dtions which will permit peace, freedom and pros
perty to prevail throughout the world

BOOM IN FOREIGN TRADE CAN'T LAST

TTF UNCLE SAM depends on export trade to
I maintain prosperity, he will be leaning on a
frail and temporary reed, conservative who
ought to know said this week.
He is William E. Knox president of the West
inghouse International Electric Company, the
foreign trade branch of the big Westinghouse
manufacturing concern.
"The present record rate of exports from this
country" Knox said will probably be maintained
for the next three to five years. after which it will
recede to pre-war proportions"
The boom market for exports will end when
industrial nations, ruined by the war, get back
into their stride" Knox declared.
In short, as LABOR has often said, prosperity
depends on the market here at home, and that
largely depends on good wages for American
workers.

 Dear Mother:
 The Pearl Street Neighborhood House which is on the corner of Pearl and Hopkins Streets and is under the auspices of Mrs. Will liam with Mrs. Wards assisting, requests your help through the Community Chest.
 This community center is for the purpose of educating the inter racial youths into sociable ways and activities, and is still trying, with some success to help the young teen-agers to become loyal, and prominent citizens among their race and community.
 Every year on the (21st) twenty first of June, the Neighborhood house holds it's annual commence ment exercises, at which they furi- iSh their own music, by their musi- cal quartet. Here are assembled the graduates of the grammar and high schools, and colleges. The pupils with the highest averages of the grammar and high schools, are awarded prizes, from the various clubs and organizations, one of which is the Hale Cup donated by the late Mrs. Hale. Each year the names already engraved upon the cup are read off and each year an- other name is added. It is also a pleasure to see, hear, know and learn of the different changes, and mod ern means and ways that have re- gently been introduced, into this wonderful and progressive organ ization.
 Of course there are sports. Soft ball, volley-ball, basket ball, and bowling. The Pearl Street Neighbor- hood House has expanded its serv- ices to our inter-racial groups, which of course, means that it's doors are open to all. You may enter and join in the sports and play to your hearts content. These are only few of the many mag nificent things this community center is doing. We. the citizens of Waterbury, can and will be our loyal support, help this, and the many other organizations in their ceasless work Let us put our shoul- derS to the wheel and push. Let's back them up. By our writing eff forts and much hard labor, this Community Chest drive will be a great success It will go over the top, for I can now hear many peo- pie saying, You can count on me" Count on my contribution to the 27 Red Feather Services in the Community Chest Drive.
