Before the revolution in Febru.
ary, 1948, the press was free to the
extent that political parties in the
government coalition were free tt
talk and criticize. In that situa'
ton, it was possible to get a bal.
anced picture Of the country.
Now set in the Communist mold
the press and radio are one con-
tinuous harangue along the party
line. The Czechoslovak public Il
told officially, when and what the
government leaders want it tt
know-but it learns much from
the information that blasts back
by radio and that is circulated by
word of mouth.
There is absolute secrecy on in

Assoeiofed Press Foreign Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The
growing crisis in Czechoslovakia
has been reported by foreign news
men this summer without direct
censorship-but indirect pressures
have made the job difficult.
The man who abolished censor
ship in Czechoslovakia immedi-
ately after victory in Europe-Dr.
Vlado Clements, foreign minister
told this correspondent early in
July that direct censorship was
not contemplated.
But with newspapers and radio
controlled so that only the gov
ernment viewpoint can be pub
lished, and with Czechoslovaks
more fearful than ever to talk
with foreign reporters because the
press and radio keep up a din
about them being liars and spies.
it has been harder than ever to
get balanced picture.
An example was afforded when
Slovaks stoned a bus full Of Czechs
travelling in Slovakia. The Asso-
ciated Press reported the incident.
Correspondent Criticized.
Some time afterward. officials
in the press department OF the
foreign ministry called IN the AS
sociated Press correspondent, criti-
cized the tone of several dis
patches, and demanded to know
the source of the stoning story.
When told that victims Of the
stoning had described it, the Of
fcials laid down this principle:
Using those people as reporters
is illegal because it would be using
stories from the underground and
making illegal use of people
against the state"
Some key officials make no
secret of their feeling that foreign
reporters should wait for official
handouts and statements and that
only such viewpoints should be
presented.
Generally. however, the official
line is that there is no censor
ship. 1t is word that they are
sensitive to. And although
thought control" is what they
would like to see, they have not
gone as far as Romania in bar
ring foreign neWsmen. or as far
as Russia in maintaining censor
ship,
Other Nations Cited.
The Czechoslovak situation has
its counterparts in Poland, Hun
gary, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia; no
direct censorship. but secrecy at
the source and discouragement OF
contacts between nationals Of the
country and foreign newsmen.>
Next to Czechoslovakia, Yugo-
slavia and Poland have the great
est number of foreign newsmen.
Bulgaria has permitted number
of foreign newsmen to come In
from time to time, but does not
encourage them.
Czechoslovak government ON
cials did not conceal their irrita-
ton over some Of the reporting Of
the conflict with the Catholic
church, especially the fact that
the explanations of Archbishop
Josef Beran fell into the hands OF
the foreign newsnen who obtained
copies. of his numerous letters to
the celrgy and several pastoral
letters.
The government could have sat
on the church lid much tighter but
for that fact. For more than a week
after the situation exploded In
late May, there was no word about
}, it in the Czechoslovak press.
But the reports Of the foreign re-
porters Seeped back from outside,
and forced the government into
explanations.

The CLERGY SPEAKS

Some people have a very
strange idea of what it means to
be a Christian. They seems to
think that a Christian is one who
doesn't do this and doesn't do that
one, in fact, whose life is governed
by a series of prohibitions. There
are some things of course that a
sincere Christian will not do. He
cannot simply follow the fashions
of this world. In Wesley's striking
phrase "he must be singular or be
damned.
But it is unfornate that tn eidea
prevails that Christianity is a
Thou shalt not" religion. For no
thing could be further from the
truth. Real lvie Christianity is a
glorious positive thing and its af-
firmations far outweigh its prohi-
billions. Did not the Master Him
self say: II am come that they
might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly?"
Certainly no-one ever accused
Him of being a kill-joy.
Christ came to bring meaning
and zest into life. To live in His
company and to serve His king
dom is to discover what a glorious
ly positive thing, what a lovely ad
venture life can be. Have you
made that great discovery yet?
It's far and away the best thing
I've found.
