Senator Borah Says
Laws to Muzzle the
Press Are Invalid
Washington, April 19. Senate de
bate on the administration espionage
bill continued today, with the fate of
a press censorship still in doubt.
1 his section ot the bill provides a
ten years' imprisonment or a fine of
$10,000 for persons who collect, pub
lish or elicit information concerning
matters of national defense which
might be of use to the enemy, in vio
lation of regulations by the president.
SenaVir Borah contended that con-
?:ress was devoid of power to inter
ere in any way with the liberty of
the press. He also declared that the
framers of the constitution were
agreed that the national government
should be excluded absolutely from
all power over the press. The first
constitutional amendment, he said,
was added to make certain that in
terference with liberty of the Dress
by the federal government was ex
pressly denied.
Regarding the contention that na
tional safety makes a censorshio
necessary now, Senator Borah said:
"The public interest' has alwavs
been the basis for all attacks upon
the press. Kings and dictators have
suppressed publications because thev
believed them against public interest."
Senator Thomas of Colorado pro
posed to strike out virtually theen
tire so-called "censorship" section, but
action was deferred.
Senator Johnson of California nn.
posed the whole section as a blow at
tree speech as well as at a free press.
"My opinion is not so much because
of tenderness for the press." said he.
"A decent and self-respecting press in
time of war will censor itself and will
not be deterred by any law from hon
est and legitimate criticism.
"I am concerned moallv with thr
right of free speech, the preservation
of democracy itself."

First, because the truck with abundant reserve
power is never pushed to the utmost in ordinary
work; it handles the job at hand easily and with
dispatch, at the same time having sufficient
energy to meet and cope with emergencies and
unusual conditions successfully.
This keeps down the operating cost per ton mile,
the depreciation over a given period, and up
keep cost
Second, it means the ability to "get there" with
out injury to the truck, regardless of road conditions.
