Conference on Press Freedom
The United Nations conference on freedom of the press rejected a Soviet proposal to deny freedom of expression and thought to “all those advocating Fascist propaganda and aggression.” The conference passed by 27 votes to five an American resolution that everyone should have the right to freedom of thought and expression without interference, and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas py any means, regardless of frontiers. A Russian amendment to delete the words “regardless of frontiers” was defeated.—Geneva, April 3.
