provincial or federal For that reason it is essential that the position of the press in its rclutiOn ship to govcriitnciitnl bodies should be ex amined Many ellincurring people conscientiously believe that the press should express no con viction upon civic provincial or federal af fairs They assume that to offer criticism is to become partisan They confuse the mean ing of the words independent and non ltral There is 11 very real and vital differ tnce between the two To be independent is to reserve the inalienable right of every citi zen to upproveor disapprove of any public Limiter without thought of servitude to any particular pnrtyborgroup To be neutral is to avoid reference to contentious matter To sum up the two it would be fair to say that independence was that same privilege of the individual to decide for himself for which party he shall vote or which church he shall attend without pressure from party execu tives or religious dignitaries To be neutral is to admit that one is not prepared to come to decision ormakc stand on any matter and therefore to leave it alone Members of civic bodies sometimes point out that newspapers have such tremendous influence in the community and that their circulation is so widespread that they have on trivantagg over those with Whom they dis llgree This is true only insofdr as the in dividual refuses to take advantage of the
