Prime Minister W- L. Mackenzie King, in a formal statement to the House of Commons on the govern- 1 if THIEF ENTERS SAME OFFICE TWO NIGHTS ment's position, said there was no Intention of doing away with price controls in Canada. Meantime there have been hurried conferences among the Prices and Trade Board, the Department of Finance and other government officials in an effort to mould policy which might check the Impact of soaring United States prices on the 'Canadian price structure. Those with an optimistic outlook see the possibility of response in the United States to President Truman's "Hold the Line" appeal until emergency legislation could be put through to Impose new controls following the abolition of the Office of Price Administration. Others think there is little likelihood of averting wholesale advances in the United States.

SI Hmfom hat precisely is meant by that familiar phrase, 'freedom jundamentally it is not a special privilege reserved for newspaper pub lishers. It is rather a phase of a much larger freedom the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear. The press claims no right which should not belong to every citizen in a democracy, but freedom of the press is an all-important part of this larger freedomt because, under modern conditions, the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the information he needs to judge the actions of his rulers and make up his. mind on public issues. Without newspapers, or with only gagged and blindfolded ones, he is in the dark, and helpless An unfettered press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks of a democratic world. Hany proof be needed, it is provided by the record of the Fascist and Nazi dictatorships. Rigid control'of all sources of public information, and especially of. newspapers, was the corner-stone upon which those regimes were, founded.,. Without it, they could never have held power. With it. they could do as they pleased, to the eventual ruin of their own peoples as well as much of the rest " of the world. this disastrous chapter of history should provide a warning against any attempt, by governments or by private interests, to restrict the essential freedom of the press. A free people must stand on guard not only ajjbst direct censor-: ship, but also against more insidious encroachments. Nominal freedom is not . enough. The only truly free press is one which can record the news faithfully and comment on it frankly, without fear of direct or indirect punishment Neither the press nor the public is safe with anything less than this. III liberty, of course, involves obligations. The obligation of a free press is to be truly free. It must be thorough, accurate and unbiased in its reporting. sincere and thoughtful in its editorials, and resistant to all outside pressure. It must be both cautious and bold cautious until it knows all the facts, bold when , it is sure of its ground. It must, above all. be inspired by devotion to the public welfare as its staff understands it. Lch a newspaper is worthy of the privileges which the English-speaking peoples have traditionally granted to their press. Suchi newspaper is also the best guardian of the liberties of the people.
