Fair Young Maid Passes Honeymaids 7E NEW YORK, Oct. 18. AP) Free dom of the press was called more Im portant to the nation as a whole than to newspapers alone, by Colonel Prank Knox today In a speech at the Herald Tribune's forum on current prob lems. . - - "Newspapers," said the Chicago publisher, "can and do survive under censorship and bureaucratlo control, but public liberty languishes and dies. "The maintenance of a free press touches the life and freedom of the farmer at his plow, the worker at his bench, the banker at his' desk, much as It does the editor in his of fice. The liberty of them all Is en dangered ' when this freedom Is abridged or destroyed." Important Utility Colonel Knox, whose name has been mentioned In connection with specu lation over the 1936 republican presi dentlal nominee, called the modern newspaper "the most Important of public utilities" and said It. "must be administered with a high sense of obligation to the public." Newspaper publishers as a class, he said, would "go down. If go down they must, before a world-wide swing to personal dictatorships, with the torch of liberty still held aloft and burning." Calling publicity . the "dictator's deadliest foe," he said: "Not in Russia, Germany, Austria or Italy Is there to be lound anything that remotely approaches a free press. All newspapers are closely censored as to both news and editorial content and, with, the destruction of a free press in those countries, swiftly fol lowed the like destructlpn of all other human rights. "The reappearance of human lib erty and freedom In those regions, now ruled bylictators, will be simul taneous with the reappearance of ' a free press. Must Be Worthy - "The press must continue to be free at all costs," he said, "but It must also be worthy, be true to pro fessional Ideals, be above price, be superior to cold commercialism, con stitute Itself the guardian, not only of the single but vital right of free speech, but also of honesty in pub lic service. "It must be a bulwark against evil ' and selfish control of our affairs; al wnys the foe of demagogue and un scrupulous racketeers; it must be the enemy of those who debauch popular faith In and loyalty to a sound sys tem of private and public morals, and, above all, It must dedicate Its news columns to the public for the public's accurate Information and its editorial columns to honesty and fearlessly expressed opinion." 2 n.
