“Your right to know is the key to all your
liberties.”
Under this slogan Newspaper Week will be observed from October . to 8.
The American press is’ the eyes and ears of the
American people. It brings the world in words and
“pictures to the humblest citizen. It not only reports
events but it helps to interpret the meaning of those
events and how they will affect the,average American.
The American press is a free press. But maintaining that freedom has not been, and is not, easy.
Under the guise of national security, efforts have been
made in high places to keep information from the
public: Newspapers as a whole have always been willing
to co-operate in preventing the leakage of data vital to
our national safety. They will not however, placidly
accept restrictions on their news gathering or on their
news commentary which are set.up solely to conceal
the blunders of government or military officials.
The people have a right to know the facts. The
press has a right to gather and report on those facts,
and to express its views.on them. To interfere with
these right is the first step away from freedom of the
press and freedom of the individual.
This newspaper, along with other newspapers, is
dedicated to the job of helping to keep the American
people the best informed in the world.
' Indeed, “‘your right to know is the key to all your
liberties.’
_ INFLUENCE FOR PROGRESS
Some of the best things develop so quietly and so
slowly that they attract little notice. A good example
of that is found in retail merchandising.
If we could turn back the clock and directly compare the typical store of twenty or thirty years ago
with the typical store of the present, we'd be amazed
by the difference. All manner of desirable services
have come into being. Stocks are far larger and more
varied. Store arrangements are infinitely more convenient for the shopper. Standards of display and sanitation have been raised. All in all, shopping has been
made far easier and more pleasant.
The main cause of this is a simple one, and it.
can be expressed in a single word: Competition. We
have chains and independents, super-markets and
specialty shops, self-help cash stores and stores which
specialize in delivery service and charge accounts. All
of them are out to get your business if they can, and
all of them offer inducements. No storekeeper, from
the biggest chain to the smallest independent, can
afford to sit back and say that further improvement

SERVING COMMUNISM
As was to be expected, the investigations of communist influences and personalities in the government
have been confused by affirmations and denials, charges and counter-charges. The whole story-may never be
learned. But no one can doubt that these influences
have existed—and that they have been tolerated in
very high places.
The real, card-bearing communists, and the more
timid fellow travelers who follow the party line but
can’t quite bring themselves to signing on the dotted
line, can be ferreted out. The FBI and other agencies
have been quietly carrying on an effective work to that
end. Yet there is another phase to the problem which
hasn't made the headlines, but in the long run, may
be the most serious. That phase is the widespread
public indifference to policies and activities which
undermine the whole concept of representative government and an economic system based on the freest
possible exercise of individual energy, talent and ambition.
If-communism, or any other kind of total government, is to gain the driver's seat in this country,
“Chuck Wagon Feed
two things must happen. First, the basic industries
of the nation must be socialized—which is just another
way of saying that the instruments of production must
be controlled by those who hold political jobs. Those
who say that cannot happen:here are blind to the lessons of history. We have, for instance, gone a considerable distance in socializing the electric industry.
In.one region in the Southeast, it has been almost completely socialized. In the Pacific Northwest the government, through its domination of the power supply,
is the big boss. These are the entering wedges, the
precedents, which fit in perfectly with totalitarian pur.

because the yvetran has failed to

said.
In some cases, by the time the
VA learns of another address to
mail the check, the veteran has
moved again when ‘the check arrives and VA must wait until
they receive still another mailing
address.
During fiscal year 1948 the San
Erancisco VA _ office certified
1,256,810 benefit checks for payment to veterans. The payments
included subsistence for veterans
enrolled in, school, job or farm
training under the G-I Bill and
compensation or pension checks.
3enefit checks mailed during
the fiscal year by the San Franciseo office had a total value of
$115,233,000, -Shields said.
Shields again requested veterans to submit change of address ‘
romptly in order to speed up
eceipt of their checks and ease
the VA work load caused by the
handling of returned checks.
Question: I intend to be a bartender and would like to know
if I can take a course in bartendBeige, Grey,
poses. There is now strong political pressure to extend
the program of Federal socialization of power on a
natin-wide scale.
‘Second, total government requires an ever-increasing dependence of the public on government for
services and benefits it once earned for itself. The
present name for this is social security. Government
is called upon to protect us against unemployment,
the economic problems of old age, sickness and so on.
Little by little government becomes the dominating
factor in our lives. It daily grows bigger, more dictatorial. So, in time, the stage is ready for the dictator—
the Hitler who comes to power by constitutional means,
and then destroys all constitutional rights.
The kind and well-meaning people who contribute
in these ways to the break-down of principle are serving
communism well. Freedom can never be a half-way
proposition. We will keep it intact or we will lose it.
