As announced in the press, the U.S. Post Office Department's ban upon the September 14, 1918 issue of this periodical was lifted on September 18, 1981 and it was accepted for transmission on that day. According to a dispatch to the "New York Times," the release was the result of direct interference by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson himself. It is absolutely consistent with the President expressed ideas as to what the policy of the government should be, bears out the insistence that the numerous abuses would cease if the President were made aware of them and sets to his subordinates a proper example of wise tolerance and just respect for the priceless liberty of the press.
