Censorship Continues
These DaysSsr' S Sz0 o' s sozolsR3

An Associated Press story on
April Z begins with the sentence:
American newspaper readers
can now be sure they are receiving
news from a great part OF the world
without censorship"
Then the account proceeds to
show how that Is not altogether
correct. Soviet Russia, Poland ard
Hungary and other areas continue
to censor outgoing as we'll as in
coming news reports, for press and
radio. As. from the American
standpoint. news from Russia Is Of
primary Importance. II Is to be

What this A. =. report means
Is that in many countries there is
still direct or indirect censorship
of foreign correspondents: that
in many countries where foreign
correspondents are free, local news
papers are censored and sources OF
news are controlled.
American newspapers do not
state anywhere In news stories nor
do the radios announce that a story
is or is not censored and therefore
the reader does not know at the
moment when he is actually read
ing the story whether II repre-
sents the judgment OF the news by
the correspondent or the censor.
II would be q simple matter to In
clude the word (censored) In every
account when that is so.
No decent American newspaper
knowingly suppresses the news. AS
business proposition, suppression

no American newspaper can sue

II then a story Is universally sup

the fault usually Is with some gov

years. been guilty OF deceitful pro-
paganda and the poisoning OF news

When A big shot" In government
