NEWSPAPER WEEK
IN THE UNITED STATES. PRESIDENT ON FREEDOM OF PRESS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, September 26. “The observance of Newspaper Week in October will afford an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the freedom that is as vital as our daily bread—freedom to think, speak and write the’truth as we see it,” said President Roosevelt. “War imposes grave new responsibilities on all, but upon no public servant does the responsibility for truth and integrity rest more heavily than upon the Press. Theirs is the duty of keeping people fully and truly informed. Their correspondents are braving the enemy fire to send stories of far-off battles, and their editors and publishers are deeply awake to their responsibility for the faithful presentation of the news. The American people are vigilant of their precious heritage of a free Press. They will permit neither its corruption nor its perversion for selfish ends. They will continue to regard it as their strong right hand in war as in peace. I believe their confidence will be justified.”
