now ruled by dictators who fear
for the people to receive the news
of the world, or to know what is
going i in their immediate com

was long ago extinguished. At
least two-thirds of the world's pop

telling ths truth. In Latin Amer

few fine papers, but only a few,
and these do not reach any appre

is the best in the world today.
Our newspapers are getting bet

advances are not only bringing
down the cost of papers materially.

the small town paper to give its
