SENATE DECLARES
FOR CENSORSHIP
Upper House Refuses to Vote Out
Sections Designed to Make News
Not Dangerous.
Washington, April 21.?The senate
recorded itself today in favor of
press censorship during the war.
A censorship clause of the administration's
espionage bill after de
cided modification was retained in
te bill by a vote of 43 to 33 after
three days of sharp debate and was
regarded as definitely forecasting final
retention of the censorsip provisions.
Later the bill was laid aside indefinitely
to permit consideration beginning
tomorrow of the war army
measure. The house judiciary commitee
has completed its draft of the
espionage bill, also with a cnsorship
clause, and will report it Monday.
The provisions as finally accepted by
the senate follows:
"Whoever in time of war, in vio
iation ox icosuuauic ? ?
prescribed by the president, which is
hereby authorized to make and
promulgate, shall publish any information
with respect to the movement,
numbers description, condition
or disposition of any of the
armed forces, ships, aircraft or war
materials of the United States or
with respect to the plans or conduct
f. * of any naval or military operations
. or with respect to any works or
measures undertaken for or connected
with or intended for the fortification
or defense of any place or
any other information relating to
the public defense calculated to be
useful to the enemy, shall be punished
by a fine of not more than $10,
000 or Dy imprisonment iur uuv
more than ten years or by both, such
fine and imprisonment: Provided,
That nothing is in this section shall
I be construed to limit or restrict,
nor shall any regulation herein provided
for limit or restrict any dis/
cussion, comment or criticism of the
v acts or policies of the government
or its representatives or publication
of the same."
Foes of the provision declared that
rit was unconstitutional and the most
drastic curb upon freedom of speech
and the press guaranteed by the constitution
ever proposed.
Before the final vote the original
committee draft, much more swepeing
and drastic, was greatly modified
The committee proposed to prohibit
not only the .publication of military
information except under presidential
regulation* but also its collec
tion, recording or attempts to elicit
it Elimination of these additional
restrictions was approved by the senate.
Another change, upon an amendment
by Senator Hitchcock, provided
that the president's regulations
shall be reasonable.
? A substitute for the whole clause,
submitted by Senator Cummins,
which proposed that the president be
authorized to prescribe 'regulations
which would not abridge freedom of
K; speech or the press, was rejected,
40 to 34.
