Press Apprehensive of Restriction Motives
New York. Apr. 21. INS—The nation's newspapers are apprehensive of the motives behind some of the war-time restrictions imposed on them, the president of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association asserted today. In a speech prepared for the opening of the first general session of the ANPA convention in New York, Walter M. Dear, publisher of the Jersey City (N. J.) Journal declared: "While we must acquiesce in restrictive practices in the name of war necessity, we cannot escape the apprehension that frequently these restrictions are imposed with a motive that does not augur well for the future of a free press. Price of Liberty "The axiom that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance has lost none of its validity." Dear mentioned in particular the fact that the allotment of newsprint had already been cut once and might be cut again.
