TWO FREEDOMS.
“ The freedom of the Press gives opportunity, of winch some unfortunately take advantage, not simply to give occasional exhibitions of malignity, which defeats its own object, but to indulge in frequent misrepresentations of the -dominant characteristics of national lift? by the portrayal of the sensational, vicious, and criminal. The industrious populations of our great cities, which give them character and prosperity, are almost forgotten. The disproportion in the drawing- is so great, the persepctive is so distorted, that no one who really knew our countries would be able to recognise them. The freedom of the Press, which nono of us would limit, is supplemented by the freedom of the films. The credulous believe not only all they heat but all they see. While you may properly object to tLo corrupting influence of certain abuses of this great edua tional facility, we particularly deplore the misrepresentation of our ouily lives. —Senator C.'E. Hughes (U.S A.).
