FREEDOM OF PRESS
WORLD GUARANTEE WANTED (Recd. 11 p.m.) Washington, Feb. 14. At the annual meeting of the American- Society of Newspaper Editors, comprising 250 editors of newspapers having a combined circulation of 25,000,000, passed a resolution calling for a world guarantee of freedom of the Press after the war and opposing unalterably any attempts to put Press Associations under the control of Congress. Another resolution commended Mr. Cordell Hull’s publishing of a White Book outlining American pre-war diplomacy, and said that it hopes it marks the beginning of a policy under which the Government will officially inform the public of facts to which it is entitled, instead of giving information. as in the past, to a few privileged writers.
