93rd YearNo 48 Letters ro Ediior some months ago In fact almost year The Examiner decided to discontinue print ing letters to the editor which were not fully signed At the time we had been get tingqulte number signed of course for the editors recognition using pen names However they were beginning to get offthe track and mostly pannlng the civic author ltles We decided to try making all letters he signed for public recognition But the fact has been an almost complete dearth of let ters Therefore we will again use letters with nom de plumes providing they are not anonymous notlibellous and not too long None will be published with the first two faults and it will be for the editor to decide the third matter Too long can be too boring despite the content and in fact Twe

democraticfree press should grant their correspondents the right to use pen name This as we see it is as necessary to our having free press as the secret ballot is necessary to our democratch

responsibility of the press is not alone to avoid libellous state ments for which they might be held accountable at law but to protecttheir readers from being misled by mere rumor by unverified gossip by black propaganda We believe the ost Canadian news papers makersincereeffort to fulfil that responslbllity Sometimes newspaper may fail but if serious error is noted one that might mislead thepublic effortis made to correct it as soon as possible The amazing thing is not that mistake can occur but rather that with the varied sources of information mistakes are held to minimum jjPlan Campaign Rid
