All articles submitted for publication must be signed by the author. 4- Friday, July 20, 1945 THE OBUGATION OF A NEWSPAPER The obligation of a newspaper is primarily to its readers. Not to any political party, not to any clique, not to any pres sure group, and not to a bloc of public opinio.n But to its readers. A newspaper is doing its job well when it prints the news. The news and nothing more. And nothing leas. It isn’t always the eaeiest kind of a job to print the news. There are always forces and persons who like to set them selves up as censors and either want the news colored or,left out entirely. This brand of citizen will spout about the democratic neecL for a free press, but let their own interests become involved^'and immediately they are for hamstringing the news. *. A newspaper seeks to print the news—^truthfully, accur ately and without bias. It may db other thin^ if it wishes. It may print human interest stories, it may indulge in the luxury of politics through its editorial column, it may sponsor a columnirt and it may engage in civic promotions. It may do all these things in a superlative way, but it ceases to be a newspaper if it ceases to print the news. ! It is true that a publisher will make' enemies for himself when his paper prints the news. He rqay make some staunch personal friends if he makes concessions of principle. In the latter case he always lives to regret it. In the former, it is ■ always worth while, for the general public respect him for printing the news. If the publisher operates his paper by fulfilling its obliga tions to the public and prints the newek the rapid increase in circulation shows that his reading audience approves of his attitude. .The free, factual and unbiased newspaper will always succeed. Its progress may be of the plodding type, but it gets there. It really cairies on. Then there ivas the old general with low blood pressure who quickly brought it up to par by reading the memories of another old general.

BFi!rhDir.-Jr.. liwmymrr Remebmer those famous words: ‘‘Never did so many owe so much to so few?” They were uttered by Winston Churchill ^nd they tell a whale of a truth. Says an isolationist: “If it hadn’t been for the United States, tihe British today would have been slaves of Adolph Hitler.” Says an intelligent American: ‘‘Where jvould we have been today had it not been for the British.” It ill behooved any intelligent American to make light of the valiant Battle of Britain. Far better if they read the story of this famous battle and know the truth. And let us remember back when we were refusing all aid to the desperate Britons, that kids and old men of the Royal Air Force, riding their tiny Spitfires, were putting the wedge in Hitler’s dream of a world conquest. Up against desperate circumstances, those kids and,.old men put up brilliant defense' against the German air force. And it was not until long later did Russia and the United States step in and drive that thin wedge, inserted by the RAF, home. More and more thinking Americans are realizing just how lucky—aye yes—how fortunate we were that the RAF WM on the job. For if Hitler had gotten by those valiant kids and old men, our lot would have been a sorry one. We would have known what it meant to have V bomba drop on usr ed from the war front In Europe, where he was with the Bichth Infan try dlTision and Is spending a SO-day furlough with hit. parents.
