NO CENSORSHIP
Presidential Secre'ary Stephen
Early has clarified his statement
that the President does not in
tend to impose any censorship of
press or radio “for the present at
least.” He meant. Early explain
ed later "unless the United Slat
es goes to war.”
Well, that makes it clear. Ev
erybody already understood that
in case of war all the accustomed
liberties of free speech and the
free printed word, as well as a j
lot of others, would go down the j
drain.
The assurance that there are j
no such plans at present is good.
But with the eternal vigilance {
that is the price of liberty, Am;
ericans will do well to watch j
closely for any infringement on j
it. Meanwhile, they can do much
to prevent consideration of any
such steps by accepting the re-:
spomsibility of speech and print
and using neither for unnuetral
purposes. Nr> matter what indiv
iduals think within themselves, i
the country lis neutral, and un
neutral action ought to be en
couraged by no one.
Nazi propaganda explains aw
ay many unfavorable conditions
in Hitlerland by placing the
blame on Germany's lack of col
onies. This brings a newspaper
in Switzerland around to print
ing an entertaining paragraph,
thus. “B fore Gretchen returns
to Germany from a vacation
which she spent in Switzerland,
she receives a letter from her
sister: ‘Dear Gretchen: Please
bring some coffee home. Our cof
fee is here is adorn inable. Of
course if we had colonies, we
would have better coffee.’ Gretch
en answered. Dear Sis, I’ll bring,
coffee home with me. But I can’t
understand what you write about
colonies! Switzerland has no col;
onies, but the coffee here is
fine.’ ”
_
Most of us can sympathize with
the Japanese huckster who went
through the streets of Seattle,
Wash.,_ with this notice tacked on
his cart: “Vegetable nice and
fresh and do not care anything
about U. S. secrets like navy and
fortifications.”
A story originating in Berlin,
hints that all isn’t well with Ger
man morale. It goes this way:
“Who is the most miserable per
sen in the world? A German Jew'
in 1939; a German soldier in 1940
a German in 1941.”

A small boy looked longingly
at the luscious bananas, tagged
"4 for 3c.” Then he reasoned:
“Four for 3 cents, 3 for 2 cents,
2 for 1 cent, 1 for nothing. Guess
I’ll take one.”
Charlie McCarthy went to buy
a pair of pants. “How much?”
asked Charley "Thirteen dollars j
with the tax,” says the salesman j
“To hell with the tacks,” says1
Charley, “I’ll wear suspender.”
