Few people probably know it, but to quote Editor &
Publisher. The US Government has entered the business
of collecting and disseminating in competition with
private news agencies.
The arm of the government involved in this dis
furbng and unprecedented enterprise the Department
OF Agriculture. On the first Of August inauqurated
marketing news service national leased wire tee-
type network. The significance of that found in pro-
test tiled by the American Newspaper Publishers Assoc
alton with the Federal Communications Commission: An
expansion of this concept would result in governments
controlled news service such presently exists in
other countries including the Soviet Union where the
called news service lass is governmentowne and oper
ated The FEC answered that without jurisdiction
and the matter has been passed TO the Secretary Of
Agriculture.
Whatever the final result the very real dangers
inherent in this step should be universally understood
TO quote Editor Publisher "A government,
or official, agency is the last thing in this
country 1t could lead TO attempts by other government
agencies to enter the and this particular en-
deavor would put the government in the censorship
business in odoUs form"
It you think those words TOO strong, statement
by the Department Of Agriculture itself should resolve
your doubts. II reserves the right cancel any
the connection of any and all subscribers who abuse the
service by Misrepresentation of reports for any other
reason when, in IFS sole Judgment, such cancellation is
desirable That can mean only thing-a of the
service is warned 10 go along with the Department of
Agriculture line whatever it may be- be prepared for
punishment.
This is small matter-after ALL great oaks from
LITTLE aeorns grow And government is TO disseminate
news what power would be left TO prevent government
from doetorine and varying news as it sees fit?
