of the administration in pow-er, regardless of what is
taking place. They demand absolute, unfettered free­
dom, and forthwith grind out unfree thoughts and
words for their "protected” readers.
Perhaps the greatest cradle of the real free press
of America is in the small town publications—prin­
cipally the weeklies—which still delight in referring
to crooks as crooks, bum politicians as bum politicians,
and damned fools as such. And. it might be pointed
out, the only reason they have been able to get awa^'
with it without being sued out of their buildings and
hell boxes is because objects of their candor know-
darned well they wouldn’t have much if the court
gave ’em keys and deeds to the weeklies and a year’s
supply of newsprint as balm.

AT LAST—A COURAGEOUS COMMENTATOR!
Although a radio voice which says anything def­
inite is a refreshing variation of the usual ethereal
utterings, there is one Boake Carter whose bosom
bursts with bias, and whose diatribes against the ad­
ministration are a continual harangue that grows
tiresome atfer continued audience.
Carter, it must be admitted, is one of the few
radio prominents w*ho actually says anything, even if

CRADLE OF THE FREE PRESS!
Perhaps one of the most loudly defended attributes
of the newspaper business is the “free press.” The
most talked about quality, and probably the least em­
ployed.
The same publication that will howl to the high
heavens whenever congress or a court ruling is feared
threatening freedom of the press will be the most grov­
eling, the most biased, the most timorous influence
in the community.
Dailies, particularly, have softened their moral
fiber to the point where they will unequivocably fore­
cast that tomorrow will be Saturday, or will come
out with a two-fisted campaign against crime or floods
or disease. Beyond the obvious issues, many such pub­
lications who hold holy their “freedom” will wink at
local graft, align with the winning political party,
shun the offending of large advertisers, avoid contro­
versial issues and straddle moral fences with all the
noble aplomb of a befeathered crusader.
Then there is another type of free press defender
—the rag that daily gives a blow-by-blow criticism

THE BRAZEN JAPANESE!
Disgusting, brazen and impudent was the bombing
and machine-gunning of the Panay, American gunboat
near Nanking, last week.
But more insulting than the overt act was the
“apology” offered by the Japanese high command al-
most preceding the event.
The bombing was not a mistake, and the machine-
gunning of lifeboats was not by error, The incident
was as much a “mistake” as is the undeclared war
against China—w hich nevertheless is war indeed.
International deceit and make-believe have reached
a new low point when nations protect their “peace
by invading peaceful neighbors, and “non-intervene
by sending hundreds of thousands of troops to a “civil
war.
Had the Japanese slapped our President’s face, they
could have insulted the American people no more. Al­
though this country is desirous of maintaining peace,
a more hostile attitude towards such makers of war
might quiet their belligerence.
Turning the other cheek to a bully not only is
hard on the other cheek, but also encourages him to
continued abuses.
