"TENDENCY TO CONTROL" Mr. Dingle Foot said that after more than 200 years in which the freedom of the Press had scarcely been challenged, there was now an obvious tendency towards supervi- sion and control, and the preven- tion of news which might be offen- sive to the Dictators
"A free Press," he said "is an essential of parliamentary demo- cracy. The main strength of an Opposition lies in the fact that it can appeal from the majority in the House of Commons to the ma- jority in the country. It can only make such an appeal with the assistance of the free Press.
"On the whole, it is not in the interests of either newspaper pro-
editors to prietors or
suppress news. But where you have a Oor- ernment censorship. the Govern-

This {"gold-digging" was bad for the community because it prevented the exposure of ramps which ex- ploited the public.
Opposing control of the Press, Bir Stanley said that. great news-
