Fun With De Gaulle:

Le Canard Enchaine. a very ir: reverent French publication, has been having great fun with President de Gaulle’s visit to: the Soviet Union. The Milwaukee Journal quotes its {s- sue of last week in which it reprinted an official Russjan ‘biography of de Gaulle which the Russians published in: 1952. In it they branded him the “reactionary leader of the fascist” payty in France. Le Canard speculat ed what .the next Russian biography of de Gaulle would be like and came up with: “The Soviet leaders, faithful to their principle of peaceful coexis- tence. succeeded in persuading him to Wandon his inten ef declaring _ unilateral war on the Umited States.”

*This week it announced. solemnly. that” ‘Yalta is dehaptized and will be called Gatllograd ”

Another Paris publication had a cartoon showing a Russian news re porter interviewing dé Gaulle and asking: “What' do you think of the cult of personalits?

The French still*have a senfe of humor, thank goodness! ee

undamentally it is not @ special privilege reserved for newspaper pub- liehers.” It is rather @ phase of 2 much larger freedom — the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear. The press claws no right which should not belong te every citizen in a democracy. Rut freedom of the press is an all-important part of this larger freedom because under modern conditions, the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the infor- mation he needs te judge the actions of |his rulers and make usp his mind on public affairs. Without newspapers, or with only gagged and blindfolded ones, he te in the dark, and helpless. An uniettered press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks of a democratic, nation.

{ any proof be’ needed, it is supplied by the record of the totalitarian

dictatorships which have darkened the twentieth century. Rigid control of all sources of public information, and especially of newspapers, was the cornerstone on which all these regimes — Nazi, Fascist and Communist alike —-were ‘founded. Without it, they could hardly have lasted for more than a tew months. With it, ‘they could keep their peoples in blinkers and drive them on any course they chose. The calamities of our age, its fear and insecurity, stem in no small measure from the simple fact that at critical perinds great sections of the earth's popula- tion have been prevented by their rulers from learning the real news of the world.

FB hese examples should provide a warning against any attempt, by govern- ments or by private interests, to restrict the essential freedom of the press. “A free people must stand. on guard not only against direct censorship but also against more insidious encroachments. Nominal freedom ts not enough. The only truly free press is one which ean record the news faithfully and comment on it frankly without fear of direct or Indirect punishment.
