CONTROL OF PRESS
Mao Favours Tightening
(N Z. Press Assn. —Copyright)
TOKYO, September 2.
Chairman Mao Tse-tung's leadership has urged tighter control of the nation’s news media, the Associated Press reports. It admitted that the mass communication media, “an important tool of the class struggle,” have long been controlled by its political enemies.
The appeal was made in a joint article by the Maoistcontrolled official publications —the “People’s Daily,” the “Red Flag” and the “Libera, tion Army Daily”—and distributed by a Chinese-language Radio Peking broadcast. The article said Mao’s political enemies led by President Liu Shao-chi had long pushed their “counter-revolu-tionary revisionist line” in the nation’s news media.
