Universal Free Press
is Needed for Peace,
Patterson Declares
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 11.-Prospects
of an enduring peace will be faI
brighter" Secretary of War Patter-
son says, when fundamentals of free
speech and free press ARE recog-
nized and practiced in all quarters
of the globe
Secretary Patterson spoke last
night at the centennial celebration
of the birth of Joseph Pulitzer
founder of the ST. Louis Post-Dis-
patch and publisher of the old New
York World, who endowed the Co
lumbia University School of Jour-
nalism.
Mr.. Patterson said the world "still
moves in terms of planes. tanks and
guns adding.
Joseph Pulitzer, with his insistence
on accuracy in news, would face the
facts as they are, not as We would
wish to have them. If we fall again
into the wishful thinking of the
1920s and 1930s, we will not alter
the course OF events. We will fool
no one but ourselves"
The Secretary said that Army oc-
cupation authorities, ''in fostering
freedom of the press in the occu-
pied areas of Germany and Japan"
are aiding a broad program to de-
militarize the ways of life of the
people of those countries"
In Germany, he said, conditions
still are abnormal I'VE must re-
tain a number of controls such as
ban on militaristic, Fascist or anti
Democratic articles, as we'll as ban
on articles that stir up hostility
against the occupying forces"
However. in Japan progress in
freeing the press is encouraging, y
Secretary Patterson said. There,
publishers are not licensed, but the
Army enforces a code forbidding
false stories, distortion of news for
propaganda purposes and articles
disturbing to public tranquility,
A free world press, he said, would
make it "a difficult operation for a
ruling group or clique in any coun-
try to mobilize manpower and other
resources for predatory warfare
