Church's bill to provia publicity for newspaper ownership, after a similar measure had been rejected at previous iiessions, will be regarded with satisfaction by all publisher engaged in the legitimate work of serving the public to the bent of their ability and who have no hidden motives in the views and news which they present to their readers. Fortunately today there are few publications of any other kind in Canada, but the future might tell a different story without the safeguard which this legislation will provide. Such a.law hus been considered advantageous in the United States, Britain and Australia; it will also prove an advantage in Canada. The measure has yet to go through the Senate, and, according to an Ottawa correspondent of The Globe, there ws a rumor around the House corridors that the Senate would "attend to It." The Senate, of course, has veto power, and has exercised it often in matters of public importance, and may do so again. But it is difficult to see why the upper House would decline to put its imprimatur on a bill the object of which is to preserve honesty and prevent deception. ,.To defeat the bill would be to encourage the publisher who fears to conduct his business in a straightforward manner. The situation Us well expressed by The Port Hope Guide: The public has a right to know from what source the fountain of public opinion, represented by the press, draw its inspiration. If from interests adverse to the welfare of the public, the fact should be known from the housetops. This country cannot afford to have the press muzzled or controlled by corporations, parties or persons whose only object is to direct public opinion into lines that are calculated to advance private nr corporate interests to the detriment, of the general interests of Canadians. No responsible publisher or newspaper owner is ashamed or afraid to allow the whole world to know who's who, and would welcome such a law; it is only the publishing company whose personnel is represented by "strBW men," and against such companies action cannot he taken, owing to the fog surrounding them. It must not be lost ight of either that there are corporations even in Canada which can and do afford not only newspapers but radio broadcasting to 'J'sseniinate what they would hine the public believe. Kven the electorate might be i 1: 1 1 m n.-i-H tn vote for some fraudulent scheme am- promote .1 wrong.
