The Russians are restrained by no
such facts. There are no free elections
in that country, nothing resembling
public opinion and no way by which
unscrupulous rulers can be penalized.
The national standards of the Soviet
Republic are the standards of the indi-
viduals impregnably intrenched in
power in Moscow. These men keep
promises, treaties and agreements
only when it promotes their own in
terests to do so. There is nothing in
their personal code and nothing in
their political system to prevent them
from sponsoring propaganda based on
falsehood.
Nothing in themselves and nothing
IN their political system bars calcu-

The Republican., 1947-10-09

We are pictured as "greedy i'm
perialists," a dragon nation" intent
upon "enslaving the world" full of
sinister designs to dominate through
the dollar" Our President and public
men are slandered and abused. Every
move we make at the United Nations,
in Greece, in Turkey, everywhere else
is construed in the worst possible
light. Comments on the Marshall plan
in England and France are un-
consciously colored by the violent dis
tortions from Moscow. To a people
accustomed to being liked by other
peoples and who certainly took on
our international responsibilities with
great reluctance, this kind of cam
paign is battling and bewildering.
Americans abroad are panied. Ameri-
cans at home do not know how to
deal with it. 1t is particularly ex-
asperating because while we print
Russian attacks on US we can answer
only feebly because the Russians do
not print our criticism of them.

Americans except the professionals associated with the press radio the films realize how much of the world still under control of the censors pencil two years after hostiities have ended At the State De- partments request Richard J. Fnnegan publisher of The Chicago Times, has drawn up draft treaty to further the free flow of information among nations and peoples. It is brief and simply worded docu- ment providing that correspondent can move freely into and out of country, travel about inside see what he wants to and talk to people. His copy would then move out without censorship deleton editing If there any delay in transmission, he would be told about it and why.
 So far so good One pitfall may be the exception which occurs in the provision that leach of the signatories may make and enforce regulations ap plicable to foreign correspondents relating directly to
 the maintenance of national military security if such regulations apply equally to all such correspondents The censorial crimes that can be committed in the name Nof security almost beyond belief It is phrase that will be warped and twisted out of recogn tion by every nation that now deplores and man- handles the free press. The only way to protect mil- tary secrets is at the If correspondent is acting spy for foreign nation the only way deal with him effectively is to keep him away from the of information. We believe that the clause relating military security needs ampificaton and sharper definition we'll and that it logically belongs not in Article " relating to free transmission of copy but in Article III, relating to free travel within nation.
 No distinction is made in the draft between pre- and post-transmisSon reading. We sup pose it is not feasible practically, to specify that gov officials shall have the authority to read dispatches after they have been sent abroad from cabehead The draft treaty appears to assume that they may be read even in advance of transmission. We believe the draft might better state specifically that dispatches shall invariably be transmitted abroad from any country before reading by government of ficials except in time of declared
 So far as we are aware, there is reading by government officials of correspondents dispatches in this country either before after transmission That is real freedom of information We hope this new draft treaty will be vehicle, after the anticipated further discussion and revision that will finally make censorship a vanished profession.
