PRESS SUPPRESSION
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 3.—
With the suppression of La Foll
ette'e Magazine indicated as a pos
sibility of the none too distant fu
lure, feeling in the Senate toward
Postmaster-General Burleson’s un
authorized censorship has quicken
ed to tne point of action. A group
of Senators of influence and power
and representatives of both parties,
will act together to demand an ex
planation from Secretary Burleson
and Attorney-General Gregory.
These two members ef the Cabi
net are said to be acting without
the authority of the White House.
The President’s leave to proceed
under section 3 ot the espionage
bill was intended to suppress trea
sonable utterance, not criticism.
The Postoffice Department, and
the Department of Justice are aim
ing their guns not at treasonable
utterance, but at criticism of a cer
tain portion of t lie administration’s
policy. The objectionable feature
in many if the seventeen papers
so far suppressed according to the
information ibis morning giver, to
Senators, seems to be the emphasis
laid by these papers on their opi
nion that the United States govern
ment should indorse the Russian
program for peace “without annex

ations or indemnities.”
These Senators propose to in
form themselves fully as to the
exact reasons for the suppression
of the American Socialist, the of
ficial organ of the Socialist Party;
the Michigan Socialist, the Phila
delphia Socialist, the Appeal to
Reason Tom Watson’s Jeffersonian,
a magazine called The Masses, the
St. Louis Labor, ar.d other publica
tions. Inquiry here has so far fail
ed to develop any specific statement
from either the Department of Jus
tice or the Postoflice as to just why
! the mails have beer, denied most ot
j these papers.
! One official, however was frank l
! enough to say that these publica
tions were just “regarded as gen
j orally objectionable.” “What's
I more,” this official continued, “we
| intend to get them.”
i The government method of “get-1
i ting” these publishers is as effective j
! as it is new. Postmasters refuse j
! 10 comment an the matter submit- ]
I tea to then: beforehand, or to j
i block out portions of a page. They |
i force the publishers in most cases j
tc priist their whole edition, and j
then they examine it and tel'use it
for mailing.
By this method the publishers
are hit in t heir weakest point, fot
they are forced to endless and use-;
less expense and are facing bank
ruptcy. Their case, however, will
be stated heie to the Department
of Justice, the Postoflice Depart
ment. and certain Senators on Mon
day by two committees.
The first of these commitees is
made up of Clarence Darrow the
famous Chicago attorney; Seymour
Stedman, Frank F. Walsh, and
Morris Hillquit. Amos Pinchot,
i Gilbert E. Roe, Max Eastman, and
; possibly Frank Harris will make up
another delegation.

Harris is tne editor of Pearson's
Magazine and a recent article of
his describing the homecoming of
the British secretary of foreign af
fairs A. J. Balfour who was recent
ly here at the head^ of the British
mission is said to have stirred the
Government to anything but a feel
ing of appreciation.
Mr. Darrow’s committee by ar
rangement will see Judge Herron,
special prosecutor of the Depart
ment of Justice, at 10.30 Monday
morning, and Postmaster-General i
Burlcsor. at 3 o'clock that after- j

Anything In the line of Job work
With the possible exception ot Mor- J
ris Hillquit, the members of the |
committee will come here, not to j
support or defend Socialist doctrine1 >
but to defend the right of free j
speech. That is also the attitude
of the Senators, who intended to |
vote no such power into the exe
cutive hands as has been assumed
by the two government depart
ments.
All these gentlemen will urge
that it is far safer to permit freet
discussion than lo sit, so to speak, j
on a safety valve. Some of them
feel that once the situation is clear
to the President support for their
opinion may be expected from the
White House.
