' Press Censorship General © Douglas MacArthur, supreme - commander of the United Nations forces opposing the Communists of North Korea, is to be commended for his common-sense viewpoint on censorship of the press-in time of war. A few days ago, two press corre- gpondents in Korea were prohibited from returning to the front, because their despatches had displeased 'somebody. Gen- eral MacArthur promptly restored their credentials, this being in the nature of an indirect reprimand to the officials who had imposed the prohibition. Referring to the coverage of the Korean war fronts by correspondents, General Mac- Arthur gave it as his opinion that the press alone could determine what news should be published of the Korean war. He opposed censorship by army personnel because they ' were not trained in journalism, and should devote their whole time to military opera- tions. Then he went on to say: "If its purpose iz to be served, censorship must be of the spirit and appliec only by those who themselves print the news. Its objective is not t> "mislead or misrepresent the truth, as that is repugnant to basic concepts of free society, but "rather to avoid printing information of direct military value to the.enemy, or such as mey con- tribute psychologically to his cause by. raising the morale of his forces while depressing that .of ours. The formula is a simple one, and one which all men of normal understanding may easily com- prehend and apply. . . . In Korean operations it has been my purpose to leave this responsibility where it rightfully belongs--in the hands of the correspondents, editors and publishers concerned." Newspaper men generally will 'welcome this forthright declaration of principles by General MacArthur, and will be quick to recognize and accept the responsibility it places on their shoulders. This attitude is so very different from that which prevailed in many quarters in both the previous world wars that it is noteworthy as a demonstra- tion of sound judgment and good common- sense by the United Nations' supreme commander. Carrying a Heavy Load It is not surprising that the Secretary- General of the United Nations Organization has appealed to the fifty-two nations in its membership in accord with its determin- ation to halt aggression to supply combat ground fortes in Korea. It is now definite that the Korean war is going to be a long- drawn out affair. All that can be done at the moment is endeavor to hold the Communist armies in check as much as possible, until reinforcements of men and materials can reach the Far Eastern battleground. Only then can we expect to have any better news from Korea. : The United States, in acting as the cham- pion of the United Nations, has taken on a heavy burden. With the exception of some naval and air units from Britain, Canada and Australia, the United States is supplying all the men and equipment in Korea. On top of that, the U.S. is stepping up its program of re-arming the democracies of Western Europe, is supplying the major share of the occupation forces in West Germany in Japan and now she has also undertaken to provide armaments for Iran, a couitry threatened by. the Soviet Union. In addition, she has de- clared readiness to step in and protect For- mosa, Indo-China and the Philippines from Communist aggression. All of this combined makes a heavy load for the United States, which, like most democracies, is far. from being prepared for war. Hence the appeal to the other sympathetic members of the Unit: ed. Navions to send ground forces to help de- feat the North Korean Communists. The Past Recalled Reports of border incidents, in which Bul- garian troops crossed the border of Yugo- ghvia, and shooting occurred, send a cold shiver running up and down our spine. Here, we felt, is a real danger spot for the out- "wreak of a European conflict which might ' v ARE) involve the whole world. And through the recesses of memory, came recollections of other incidents which, although small in themselves, were made the exuse for war. In 1914, the assassination of an Austrian grand duke and his wife set the pot boiling, and before it could be cooled off, World War One was under way.-In 1938, there were re- ports of border clashes between German and Czech troops, on a small scale, and Hitler used these as a pretext for the rape of Czechoslovakia. War was averted then, but only by giving the mad man of Berchetes- gaden his own way. In 1939, the march into Poland by Hitler's army was preceded by similar reports, in which the German dic- tator claimed his borders were being violated by Polish patrols. Small incidents, all of them, but ased by the warmongers to bring about world wars. Reading of these border incidents between Bulgarian and Yugoslavian troops, and link- ing them with the hatred of the Soviet rulers for Marshal Tito's regime and 'coun- try, one might be excused for thinking back over the years to those incidents which brought on. the last two world wars. Let us hope that the similarity will end there, and that Yugoslavia's punishment for resisting the Cominform will not be an invasion which will involve the whole of Europe. Editorial Notes The world wonders which will be the next spot for Communist attack -- Formosa or Yugoslavia? * + * A British Labor M.P. charges that the United States has' turned the United Na- tions into a farce. He is away behind the times. Russia did that long ago by her indiscriminate use of veto power, * * RA It begins to look as if Canada will have to contribute more than three destroyers to the defeat of Communism in Korea. - This country has too much at stake to stand idly by and let others de all the dirty work. \ i J +* * Some people were injured in a theatre in Virginia when the ceiling fell. This brought from the Kingston Whig-Standard the apt comment that the show literally Brought down the house. * * 3 John S. Knight, editor and publisher of the Chicago Daily News, hit the nail on the head when he 'wrote, "To. be sure, we are risking a third world war by resisting ag- gression in Korea. But, taking the long view, is it not a lesser risk than we would run in permitting Russia to proceed unhindered with her plans for world conquest 7" ® Other Editors' Views @ LOOK IN THE CHURCHES (Sault Ste. Marie Star) "Where are the greit preachers?" an editorial demands, In the nature of things, the question will be most loudly debated by those who haven't thought of looking in the churches. * * + TASTES IN READING ' (Brantford Expositor) ~ Tastes in books differ, not only from generation to 'generation but from person to person. "Once a classic" does not mean "always a classic," and maybe the school lists should be brought more thoroughly up to date. The tales that really have been well told will survive, in any case, on their own merits, without being "included in any class- room catalogue of "must" reading. Alert publishers will see to that! * * * CONTROL OF BOATS (Amherstburg Echo) The unfortunate accident where a young man lost his life when thrown out of a speeding boat pro- pelled by a powerful outboard motor, brings to mind there should be more control of small boats on the Lower Detroit River It is a miracle that more people have not lost their lives, as many operators have absolute disregard for public safety. At present the Canadian Parliament is considering a change in the law re small boats -- this should help. In addition the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are checking up on smaller craft. 2 ® A Bit of Verse ® THE BEACH The shimmering sands lie warm beneath a brilliant sun, The giant swells break with a deafening roar And send wave after wave along the sloping shore. The gulls, like miniature sailboats, ride with graceful ease The white-capped surface in the summer breeze. The children, building castles in the cool, moist sand, Run before the rushing tide which on receding Levels 'their walls and towers with a sweeping hand. Soon the lowering sun stains the ocean with flaming gold," And the children are gathering up their things, And the gulls are seeking their high-cliff home. Now only I and the night remain. --ROBERT PAUL DART e A Bible Thought "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness." (Mt. 6:33.) Begin.the day with God; : Kneel doyn to Him in prayer; Lift up thy heart to His abode, And seek His love to share. FORMIDABLE LIGHTNING IN THE CLOUDS OF WAR --Kuekes, in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Press Gagged Hint U.L.C. Papers London, July 18 (Reuters)--Sev- eral British newspapers today blam- ed the government for a newsprint crisis threatening to reduce the size of papers to near-wartime levels. Some editorial attacks hinted that the government was "gagging the press." Harold Wilson, president of the Board of Trade and the minister responsible for newsprint supplies, claimed that the size of newspapers was left to the decision of the in- dustry and blamed "unrealistic" calculations which, he said, led to a cut in the import contracts with Canada. The Conservative Daily Mail said the matter was "a deplorable record of government bungling. Whether intended or not, they have applied a censorship to the newspapers. The Liberal News Chronicle de- clared: "Already Britain has the smallest newspapers of any leading country in the world. If these are to be made still smaller the tech- nical job of presenting and inter- pretinz the huge mass of current events all over the world will be- come a well-nigh impossible task." VIOLENT.

Mac's Musings How quickly the months Seem to slip past In these hectic days In which we live, For here we are at The middlé of July, And it is difficult 'To realize that more Than half of the year We welcomed, it seems; So short a time ago Is more than half gone. How swiftly have the seasons Passed by to bring Us into the high tide Of summer's glory, * After a taste of winter .| And a breath of spring To tell us the months Were passing away, And yet it seems as if So far this year We have had little summer, Although it is now Mid-July and the year Is more than half gone, But though we look back And think that the time From January to July Has seemed so short, We have the feeling that There is a long spell Of summer stil] ahead And that fall is yet A faraway season, Which will not come Until holidays are over And become a thing Of happy memory. There is still ahead The season of maturing Crops of fruit and grain, Of flowers and vegetables That were but yesterday Little seeds planted In the cold earth, So while the year Is more than half gone, Let us not forget that The best is yet to be Before the other half Has run its course.

Several earlier, unofficial investi- gations have suggested possible ex- planations. The two most popular have been: 1. That Communists - have infil- trated into the port, obtained key positions in the trade unions and brought the workers under their influence. 2. That the mammoth trade union which organizes a majority of the port workers has lost touch witia the rank and file, does not ade- quately represent their interests and so drives them to unofficial action. Communists Deny Charge British Communists deny the first suggestions. The trade union denies the second. The five men who have to sift the evidence and try to reach an objective conclusion are: Sir Fred- erick Leggett, a former high official at the Ministiy of Labor; A. M. Holbien, vice-president of the Fed- eration of Civil Engineering Con- tractors; G. H. Bagnall, a former trade official who now is an in- dustrial administrator; Sir Robert Hyde, founder of the Industrial Welfare Society, and Sir Wilfred Garrett, a former chief inspector of factories. They held their first meeting at the end of May and their report is not likely to be published for some months yet. Many to Give Evidence Port employers, trade union of- ficials and government-appointed Area administrators are expected to give evidence before the committee of inquiry. . ; Canadian Ships. Representatives of an unofficial port workers' committee which has led several strikes in the port in opposition to the official union have demanded the right to be heatd. But it is not yet known whether they will be admitted. Biggest dispute since the war oc- curred last summer, when the port was brought to a standstill by the refusal of dockers to work Cana- dian ships which they regarded as "black" -- that is, the subject of a trade union dispute. Government and trade union spokesmen denied the ships wers "black," said trouble on board was due to a domestic feud in Canada between the Communist-led Cana- dian Seamans' Union and the rival Internationa) Seafarers' Union sponsored by the American Federa- tion of Labor. Observers agree that one of the most interesting parts of the come mittee's report will be that cone cerned with the role of .the Trans- port and General Workers' Union which, with 1,300,000 members, is one of the world's largest trade unions outside of Soviet Russia. About 20,000 of the 27,000 workars in the Port of London belong to it. Ernest Bevin, now foreign secre- tary, built up the Transport and General Workers' Union almost from scratch and led it through most of its biggest struggles. In 1940, when Winston Churchill formed a coalition government, Mr. Bevin moved from the union to the ~ Ministry of Labor. ARMS SMUGGLER JAILED Kopar, Trieste, July 18 (AP)--A military court sentenced an Italian skipper yesterday to six months ime prisonment on charges of smuggling arms into Yugoslavia, YEARS IN ALUMINUM HAS GROWN TO BE A LARGE PART OF CANADIAN LIVING Prods f for Ce 1950 is the fiftieth anniversary of the Wear-Ever line in Canada. These aluminum cooking utensils were introduced here at the beginning of the century. Their popularity grew so rapidly that, by 1912, a new factory was needed to supply the demand. This was built in Toronto. Tt was the first plant in Canada to make aluminum articles--and this was only a dozen years after the first Canadian smelter had started making aluminum ingots at Shawinigan Falls. Today Alcan has twelve plants, all of them engaged in the aluminum industry, while more than 1000 independent companies across Canada shape the metal into all sorts of useful forme--from kettles to freight cars.
