The article focuses on political situation of the world after World War II. Among the miserable legacies the war will leave in many parts of the world is a system of censorship, which has become such in intricate, cunning mechanism, such a deeply ingrained habit of the official mind that free journalists are now confronted with the most exhausting obstacle course the profession has known in decades. At the moment social scientists Kent Cooper, Harold Stassen, Archibald MacLeish and others are trying to persuade the world's statesmen to build into the future international edifice a corner stone labeled "guaranty of a free press and free communication of news between nations."
