We cannot get it either from their governments or our D o n o r s of sr^ry to time's furthest government. All governments have a vested interest in what the people believe and hence the wells are poisoned.

The world has only a crude technique for activating the right to know the full story. It may take experimenting to develop such a technique. Mr. Cooper's suggestion of diplo­matic immunity for correspondents may be a step in the right direction. I t will a t least warn us tha t violation of this right by any government should put us on our guard.

But it will take stout hearts to attain Mr. Cooper's aim. Governments, having developed wartime censorship to a high point, will be slow to surrender their power to sup­press or modify the truth. All of them—including the United States—will have to be pushed.
