GUARDIANS OF LIBERTY
FREE SPEECH AND FREE PRESS MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S VIEW LONDON, March 19. “Free speech and a free Press arc the great educators as well as the great guardians of the people's liberty,” declared Mr. Chamberlain at the Parliamentary Press Gallery’s annual dinner at which he was the chief guest. “If the public are not allowed to know the facts and if they are only allowed to hear what rulers choose them to hear, then that people are in danger of being led to embark on a course'"which may presently lead them to disaster,” he added. “Thanks to our House of Commons our people are exempt from that danger. The ideal of substituting community conscience for individual thought has no attractions for us.”
