THE PLAY'S THE THING cancel our advertising if you don't stop it." In 1930, it is hard to believe that the newspaper man would say: "I refuse to do anything of the kind." We do not say that freedom of the press is as extinct as the dodo but common-sense would prove that it is on the wane. There was nothing actually insidious in the fact the I. P. & P., a paper and power company, bought millions of dollars' worth of newspaper stock in 1929. But common-sense denies the idea, that if the fight over utility ownership reached the press, the fact that a power corporation was a big stockholder would not influence the policy of a newspaper chain. It isn't human nature to bite the hand that feeds you; especially when it's a caviar diet. We cannot say that newspapers are censored or controlled by huge corporations. We do say that, corporations themselves, and feeding of! other corporations, the newspaper editor of today is shackled and silenced to a point unthought of by Greeley. 191
