Another War for U.S. Would Be
Country's Fault, U.P. Head Says
Plan for America
Loi Anaeles. Mav 20 U.R-
If the United States gets into
another war "it will be our own
fault because we have led some
eeressor to believe we could
h. lirksri " Huah Bnlllle. presi-
dent of the United Press, said
today in an address dedicating
Founders Hall at the University
of Southern California,
"We got into the last two wars
that way," the news service ex
ecutive said. "The kaiser thought
we wouldn't f;ght and that we
couldn't transport an army to
EuroDe. The Japanese thought
we could be licked. Hence Pearl
Harbor. Hitler also shared that
delusion. Personally I am in
favor of enough publicity about
our war machine so that hostile
nations . . . will be airaia io at
tack us."
Dedicates Building
Bailie dedicated the new
building at alumni day exercises
on the campus of USC where he
was a member of the class of
1915. At today's ceremonies the
university awarded him the hon
orary degree of doctor oi laws.
Baillie said that in his judg
ment the chances are against a
premeditated military attack on
the United States as long as the
Nurnberg hangings are remen
bered.
" I remember them very well,"
he said. I know personally
number of those who were
hanged. I shall never forget how
they eyed me In the courtroom
when they saw me in the press
box those nazis wtiora i naci
seen and talked with when they
were in positions of high power
in the German government and
the German army,
"Another possible deterrent to
war today is the fact that epi
sodes or incidents which would
have caused war in the past, no
longer do so. We are more tol
erant, perhaps too tolerant.
Things like the shooting down of
a navy Privateer plane in tne
Baltic are passed over in an ex
change of notes. Now our planes
nave been told to remain away
from the Baltic. Doubtless the
statesmen know better than I do
whether this is a better deterrent
to war than having a parade of
B-Z9s with plenty of fighter es
cort sweep the Baltic every day."
Believers in Minority
Referring to the newspaper
man's role in the modern worl
Baillie warned that those who
believe In the basic freedoms, In
cluding freedom of speech and
freedom of the press, are in a
minority In the world today. He
declared that the majority is
growing larger with the spread
of dictatorships and totalitarian
governments.
"It Is the responsibility of each
of us who runs a news agency
or a newspaper to see to it that
every bit of news is weighed for
trust and handled with due re
gard for its actual significance
and importance, so that the day
to day history of these events
m a y be told accurately, com
pletely, with no taint of bias or
prejudice," Baillie said.
"The evil effects of having this
1 e a r vision obscured through
any Interference with a free
press in this country or abroad
are Incalculable. Of course, in
vast areas of the world the free
presa Is gone. Two years ago I at
tended at Geneva the United Na
tions conference on freedom of
information and the press, where
more than SO nations tried to
agree on a treaty guaranteeing
freedom of information. It turn
ed out that various blocs of coun
tries had their own ideas as to
what freedom of information
meant, with the result that little
was accomplished, except that
the spotlight of publicity was
placed on tne prooiem. ivei
since then, freedom of informa
tion abroad has been losing
ground, engulfed behind the iron
curtain or weakened by govern
ment regulations In many coun
tries which are not behind the
iron curtain.
Press Freedom Taken
"The first move of any would-
be dictator is to install a min
istry of press and propaganda,
by whatever name it may be
called, and abolish freedom of
the press. Tne dictator never aa
mit. that he is killing press free
dom. He explains that now the
government is going to improve
the press by insuring that the
newspapers an print tne iruin
and that they publish nothing
that would harm their country.
Of course there has to be a judge
of all this, an arbiter to decide
what is truth and what is not.
what is good for the body politic
and what is not. The judge and
arbiter always is the government
itself.
"With this established, the
government can proceed at Its
leisure to cnioroiorm ine ciiutii
side of men's minds. To use a
psychological term, tney are
ennri itioned' to think what their
rulers want them to think. Their
judgment of the important is
sues of the day is no longer free.
They are conditioned so that as
time goes on they more and more
easily accept their master s voice
in the government propaganda
bureau as they would the word
from on high.
Action Defended
In the countries where this
haDDens. it is defended by saying
that the press still is free, that
it belnnes to the people, that
after all the government is the
best judge of what is good for
them to read.
"That is the way it always be
gins. There is a group ot so-caneo
experts who could improve the
press, so they say, if they could
just have a little authority over
Wheel Chair Veterans
Slate Fishing Trips
Potters Mills. Pa. U.R Blind
and crippled war veterans will
be able to enjoy fishing in one of
Pennsylvania's best trout streams
at a "wheel chair fisherman's
paradise" near here.
Ramps and special streamside
facilities were laid out along
Potter Run by the Spring Mills
Fish and Game association, with
the co-operation of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars. The set-aside
area covers one-quarter mile
long the stream.
Other fishermen working their
way along the stream would skirt

ng again on the other side.
Still incomplete, the protect

ing day of trout season. Lowell
Smith, paralyzed from the waist
down and confined to a wheel
chair, caught his full limit of 10
trout. All were about 12 Inches.

one phase of it. If they could
make the press print more of
one kind of news and less of an
other, they are sure they could
create better understanding and
less conflict all around.
"This bit of sophistry is blind
to the meaning of a free press as
we know it in this country. Our
free press belongs to the people
and one of its most importa'nt
functions is to be free to check
up on and tell them what the
government is doing.
"In countries where there Is
no free press the new generation
is lost to the truth and the loss,
I fear, is irreparable.
"We who believe In freadom
of thought, freedom of religion,
freedom of assembly, of rpeecn
and of the press, are in a minor
ity In the world today. The ma
jority is growing. These free
doms are our chief bulwark
against the further spread of dic
tatorships and totalitarian gov
ernments.
San Francisco, May 20 U.R)
Gen. Omar N. Bradley predict
ed today that Russia probably
will have enough atomic bombs
in a few years to deliver i
"devastating blow" anywhere.
To meet this threat "of the
atomic blackmailer," the chair
man of the joint chiefs of staff
set forth a four-point must'
program:
1. "Prepare our own defenses
so that no attack on tne united
States will cripple this arsenal
of the western world.
2. "PreDare. along with our
friends in the North Atlantic
Dact. to make Europe reason
ably secure from being overrun
quickly on the ground."
3. "Encourage every nation
outside the iron shroud of com
munism to be strong, to resist
and to survive.
4. "Let those nations now un
der the heel of Soviet-inspired
peoples' government know that
ill welcome them when
they are unchained."
