"It is requested and hoped that correction will be made of the very nhtrne report that an attempt will be male to Interfere In any manner with the free flow of news from Am erica to Europe, or from Enrope to America. The whole effort of the government, from the first, has been to assure adequate and authoritative representation of the press at the peace conference and to assist news distribution In every possible way. "There is no press censorship of any kind In th I'nlted. States today, and at the persopal request of the president, the French nd English governments have lifted all censor ship regulations bearing upon Am erican press matter. i "The widely circulated rumor that George Creel, chairman of the com mittee on public Information, will have control of official publicity In connection with the peace conference is absolutely without foundation There will be no such control and the situation Itself .precludes any such control. The peace conference itself will undoubtedly decide upon the manner of announclng'its delibera tions and decisions, and the right of correspondents -to free movement Is. of corse, one that we cannot abridge in any degree.

One plan evolved by the governor. and which doubtless will be elab orated upon In his message to the legislature. Is that of making use r.f the segregated fund of the tate in dustrial accident commission for In vestment In farm unit enterprises which would be established along the lines advocated by , the land settle ment commission. To employ the segregated . fund In this-way would require legislative enactment. Funds of the accident commission are now? Invested In government school andmunlclpal bonds, the tota Investment of the segregated fund ana me accioent rnna running up wards or I2.ooo.ooo. .interest from the segregated fund Is used as bene fit money for dependents of work men who are killed or for workmen who are permanently disabled. is estimated that Sl.400.000 is at ready invested - from the segregated fund and the fund is growing at th rate of 1300,000 or $400,000 a year Governor Withyeombe believes that money from the segregated fun-i could be invested In farm unit woTk with no danger of loss, and that the returns would be In excess of 5 per cent no der proper management. The accident commission now has about $400,000 surplus that Is. pot segregated. The governor has In mind , another legislative enactment to direct this money to the constme tlon of a hospital for Industrial -erro ples-. -to- he-built on the campua-of the State Medical college at Port land. "The time Is ripe for this;" said the" governor, "and the need 1 growing -constantly"- with - Increasing Industrial activity In this state.? If this action is taken I shall also en deavor to have a branch established for the. care of crippled children from Indigent families." The governor reiterated his oppo sition to the 6 per cent tax law limi tation amendment to the constitu tion. . "At this time especially, when the demand for reconstruction and Indus trial readjustment Is so great." he said. "It is extremely unfortunate that a state of so great possibilities is limited by the 6 per cent obstacle."- - - i - v - I y t " v On this day wc should be doubly thankful for the Freedom of the World, for Democracy and the return of Our Boys to the home and fireside.
