Ho called it a limited emergency. There Is, however, no statutory authority for a "limited emergency. Any emergency declared by the president is legally a full and complete emergency. This declaration of an emergency brought into effect a provision (heretofore lying dormant) of the Communications Act of 1934 (43 Stat.

1105) which provides that upon proclamation by the president that there exists a state of national emergency he may exercise all of the powers over radio that I have Just enumerated. As a result. Mr. Roosevelt today has the same power over American radio that Hitler has over German radio or Stalin and Mussolini. We are not at war.

We are at peace. And, yet, by reason of this hidden power which the president has brought to life, the control of American radio and its programs Is now exclusively In his hands. He has not exercised these vast powers. His secretary has said that he has no Intention of doing so "for the present." But the threat that he may exercise these powers hangs over the broadcasters like the sword of Damocles. If any situation ever called for an airing In Congress this is it.

What are the vast powers under hidden and forgotten sections of the statutes which the president may now exercise and with respect to which the fear that he may exercise them exerts such an influence over American life? A list of some of them has been compiled for the Senate by Attor 25c Stanback 19cj 25c BC Powder 19c 50c Jergens Lotion 39c 25c Pepsodent Antiseptic 19c an encroachment "upon the rights of all Americans. Who egged on the broadcasters? This takes us behind the Beenes where the wheels go round and the wires are pulled. It brings us to the question of the extraordinary power over the radio that is now in Mr. Roosevelts hands. Would you believe it if I were to tell you that today, now, the President may shut up any and all radio stations whatsoever? He may shut America off the air.

He may take over the broadcasting stations and turn them and their apparatus over to some government department. He may make of radio a government monopoly, with the result that no program and no speech could go on the air that was In conflict with his views.

It was a protest against the edict of the FCC attempting to tell Americans what they should say on short wave international broadcasts. This edict raised such a storm throughout the country that the Commission ran to cover. But the effort to control free speech on the radio has not been abandoned. It ha3 been brought in bold relief by the declaration of the Broadcasters Association that if a public question is controversial no one can buy time on the radio to discuss it.

Apparently you may still speak on Mother. Home and the Flag, or on peace and good will among men, but if you go beyond these guttering generaUties and get down to the brass tacks that underlie them, you can talk only if, as and when the broadcasters say you can. If you are very ladylike and if a balanced program can be arranged with some other Alphonse and Gaston on the other side, the debate may proceed, otherwise not. This is a mell of a hess! It used to be supposed that any American who had something on hi3 chest could hire a haU and speak his mind. We used to think that this was the essence of free speech.

Now, however, men like Father Coughlin are to be taken off the air. They are not to be permitted to buy time on the radio to discuss public questions. Through the control of balanced programs and free time" the broadcasters exercise a censorship on not only what is said but also who says It. This is a part of the blackout of freedom whose dark shadow is crossing the Atlantic. The issue is not Father Coughlin.

His views on the embargo are not the question. Father Coughlin and his views may be the Immediate cause of this ukase, but he is not the victim. The victims are the millions of American people who are to be denied the opportunity to listen to Father Coughlin if they choose to do so. The victim is any other American now or in the years to come who may want to petition his fellowmen and his Congress for the redress of grievances. The victims are the minor political parties and minority groups.
