LIBERTY OF THE PRESS
MENACED BY RESTRICTIONS LONDON, August 24. (Received August 24, at 8 p.m.) At the Eastbourne conference of the Institute of Journalists, Mr J. R. Scott, of the Manchester Guardian, speaking of the new menaces to the liberty of the press, said that the Reichstag fire accurred at 9 p.m., and an hour later the whole of the opposition newspapers were suppressed. The nineteenth century had witnessed widespread extension of freedom to the press, and it was regarded as almost axiomatic that in due course all countries would establish a free press, but much ground had been lost by restrictions being reimposed. Mr Scott instanced Germany, Russia, Italy, and the Balka'ns.
