The enormous difference between the
Russian and the American ideas of gov
eminent is perfectly illustrated by the re-
cent denunciations of our press by high
Societ officials, and their demand that
restrictive measures be taken to stop "un-
fair" criticism of Russia.
The Soviet spokesman seem to be all
in favor of 'free press"-so long as it's
comment agrees with their curious ideas
of right and wrong. In Russia, the press
is "free" to print government-inspired
editorials and official handouts from the
Politburo, the Foreign Office and the
Kremlin. If the slightest deviation from
the party line is found in Russian news
paper, the usual practice is to send the
editor in charge on long voyage from
which there is no returning.
Y The Russians may be perfectly sincere
when they say they cannot understand
American newspapers. This is one of very
few nations left on the face of the earth
where any editor, so long as he stays with
in the laws covering libel and other
crimes, can say what he pleases. The
criticism of Soviet actions in our press is
the result of orders from the govern
ment. Nothing, as every American knows,
could be further from the truth. 1t is, to
the contrary, the simple. consequence of
the fact that the majority of editors be-
| leve that the principles underlying U. S.
foreign policy are correct and inevitable
The free press is the basis of all other
| freedoms. Destruction of the right to criti-
cize, to speak ones mind, must be follow
| ed by the destruction of free government
free enterprise, freedom of religion. The
Soviet press is used as a weapon to turn
| the Russian people into mental robots
and to make every man and woman
slavishly think alike and repeat the same
phases. The Russians don't realize it. but
their recent violent denunciations of the
American press are a fine tribute to- it.
and to the system of government which
makes it's existence possible.
