The Eastern Economist July 8 1949

1949

THE EASTERN ECONOMIST 45 Freedom of Information TUE report of the Royal Commission on the British Press published on the 29th June is a document that will interest not only the Press in Britain which has been awaiting the verdict of the Royal Commission for the last two years but also the Press in other democratic countries of the world. [...] It is in accordance with the fundamental importance of the maintenance Of freedom of information that it should be regarded as a Human Right to be regulated internationally under the purview of the Upited Nations :Sub-Commission on Freedom of Information and of the Press. [...] This is a consequence of our blonging to the sterling pool and accepting the common policy of the pool except to the extent that we can otain special credits from the World Bank or the Fund both of which raise the issue of repayment. [...] The proof of the pudding is after all in the eating and the fact that raw jute prices have already begun to react to the industry's new production prgramme gives room for hoping that the present 25 per cent cut in manufacturing activity will help to achieve early monetary equilibrium in the industry and thus pave the way for its own withdrawal and the restoration of fuller manufacturing activ [...] There is no need to ask as the Comission does in the very first question whether the ecnomic background of the country has so altered during the last 27 years as to necessitate a fundamental change in the approach to the problems with which the prsent Coniinission is concerned.
