This article comments on developments related to politics and society in the U.S. The American press is, quite properly and quite understandably, indignant at American government's bullyragging of the three reporters who recently entered Red China without permission of the U.S. Department of State. These men have been deprived of their passports and are darkly threatened with having to stand trial on their return home under the trading with the enemy act. Newspaper comment makes two points: that government restriction of a reporter's movements is an infringement of freedom of speech, and that the American public is not properly informed of events in foreign countries by second-hand reports and official handouts.
