A Question to Ask Ourselves
THE code for newspaper practices In war time, an
nounced this week by Byron Price's office of censor
ship, is generally reasonable and fair, and is designed,
it seems to us, to give the American press as much freedom
as possible under emergency conditions. There is no re
striction on discussion, no prohibition against criticism of
the government or the military authorities, and some of
the news restrictions are less stringent than those that
, have been enforced against the press in the confused
early days of the war.
This code was released to the press this week. It is
lengthy and detailed, but that is necessary to cover the
many questions which are certain to arise. While it is
of primary interest to newspaper people, the public is
concerned with its general character and the policies it
Sets forth.
Listed as basic facts by the code at the outset are these :
The outcome of the war is a matter of vital concern to
the future of every American citizen. . . . The security
of our armed forces and even of our homes and our lib
erties will be weakened in greater or less degree by every
, disclosure of information which will help the enemy.
, I The statement goes on to say that "a maximum of
accomplishment will be attained if editors will ask them
selves with respect to any given detail : 'Is this information
I "would like to have if I were the enemy'? and then act
accordingly. ... It is the hope and expectation of the
, i . i it. . a l
t ' '.Hm.HaW. mil .AMA.
. - uuuo vriii I ducwu uio nccai. ill tiic nunu, aim niii
t . the story of our national successes and shortcomings
v i irately and in much detail."
i .J hese excerpts are enough to convey the general pur-
as editors, may well adopt its basic pnnciples, for the
loosely spoken word may help the enemy as well as one
that is imprudently printed. It is here suggested that every
individual ask himself, before he speaks openly on mili
tary or war industry matters, whether "this is informa
tion I would like to have if I were the enemy."
Thanks to the Weatherman
AITH pleasure it is reported that permission has been
V granted this newspaper to carry precipitation in
formation hitherto banned because of the war emergency.
Through special permission, it is possible now to print
a precipitation table, delayed for one week to avoid any
possibility of giving facts of value to the enemy. The table
carries no current storm information, but tells the gen
eral story of the water situation in this irrigation country.
This action -by the U. S. weather authorities is ac
knowledged here, and with thanks, because we have done
some complaining against unnecessary weather news re
strictions. The problem here, where farmers want to
know moisture conditions, was placed before the regional
director of the weather bureau at Seattle, and the week
old information was authorized by him and the meteor
ologist at Portland. .
So we welcome back the weather "ear" at top, right,
front page.; It's an old friend, sadly missed in absence.
Yoluntary-And No Embarrassment
CITIZENS are urged next Tuesday to go to the polls
VOLUNTARILY to make defense bond pledges. Those
who feel they cannot pledge bond or stamp purchases
can indicate as much on the pledge cards, in order to
avoid the loss of time and convenience in interviews.
But there is nothing in this plan that is intended to
embarrass. anyone. Whatever is indicated on the pledge
will be held in Btrict confidence. The pledge cards will
not be scrutinized by the local election boards who are
helping out on bond pledge day. They will be placed in
a closed receptacle, and retained in confidence by the
defense savings administrative officials.
This effort is not intended to put anyone on the spot.

that day he received word he
would be wanted at the White

phoned and told to come over

cated Nelson would be allowed
to write his own order.
NO DISAPPOINTMENT
FDR had been working on the
reorganization question about
three weeks. He had been clos
eted with Lord Beaverbrook on
the subject for several whole
days. Beaverbrook and Nelson
had been in to see him the night
before the decision was made,
The town had been full of
planted pressure stories favoring

me usual sign that the president
is cogitating an important ap
pointment, mends of Supreme
Court Justice William Douglas
were passing around the sueees
tion he had been chosen- an ap
parently indispensable part of
all presidential cogitations.
Mr. Wallace, the V. P., was
pressuring a plan whereby his
friend and former secretary,
Milo Perkins, would get half of
another two-headed OPM, with
Nelson the other half, one to
handle production, the other
materials. This, too, had been
printed.
Yet Wallace was not disap
pointed with the choice of Nel
son., No one could be. Nearly
everyone else wanted one-man
control and everyone agreed Nel
son had more experience for the
task than any man in the coun
try. What caused Mr. Roosevelt to
rush his decision is not entirely
ciear. Most government associ
ates suspect he suddenly said,
lo neck with the problem,1
and decided to act. Some out
siders believe he wanted to
smother a speech Wendell Will-
kie was to make that night, urg
ing one-man control. Willkie
had given advance copies ot his
address to the New York press
ana it had gotten around. (Will
kie also saw the president that
afternoon). Certainly Willkie as
sisted in hastening a decision.
STALLING
congressional conferees are
stalling a few days on the price
bill in hopes the country will
arise behind Mr. Roosevelt's plea
that inflationary aspects be eli
minated. Popular pressure, in
addition to that of the White
House, is thought to be necessary
if the farm-price spiraling fea
tures are to be killed.
The transportation problem
caused by concentration of army
equipment on the west coast is
being solved, due to cooperation
of Union Pacific and other rail
officials with the 'war depart
ment.
A foolish notion is getting
around that the investment qual
ity of defense bonds is somehow
shadowed by the size of the fore
cast debt ($110,000,000,000.)
True, none can see prospects of
paying off such a colossal debt at
any standard of taxable living
