WATSON WEBER COUNTY SHERIFF By GEORGE SCOTT If I had them, I would dis tribute medals this month as fol lows: First, to Premier Juan Ne grin of Spain for that magnificent appeal for aid which he broadcast to America in the midst of one of the worst aerial bombardments which- - Barcelona has ever gone through. Several months ago, you may remember, Fascist bombers succeeded in destroying a Loyalist transmitter over which Negrin was trying to speak to the United States. This time, thanks to the government's anti aircraft, artillfery and pursuit planes, the Italian and German killers could not reach their objective and tossed their helter-skelte- r bombs into the crowded streets. We denounce such crimes as were committed an hour ago, the premier cried at the end of his talk over the Columbia network. The bombardment, the most terrible up to now in Barcelona, has brought mourning and sorrow in this last evening of the year on the greater part of the population. Up to the present moment, we know there have been over thirty dead and over eighty wounded. Ambulances are still picking up the victims and carry out their humanita-rio- n work while I talk to you. Meanwhile we are showing the world that justice and right will help defend us. Second, to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Americas No. 1 radio personality, for his almost direct reply to Premier Negrin when, in his address to the new Congress, he declared that our neutrality law was working grave injustices to democratic countries and should be changed forthwith. And lets not forget Roosevelts ringing challenge to the dictator nations delivered in the same address and also his previous activities in arranging for the shipment to Spain of Americas surplus what and for the extension of.yast credits to the embattled Chinese people. Rebukes to Coughlin Third, to Neville Miller, president of the National Association of to Cardinal Broadcasters, and Mundelein of Chicago for their stern repudiation of the vicious, and repeated attacks upon the Jews which are being made by that unnatural father, Coughlin. The right of free speech, Mil- - ;er said, "is a ngni wmen exienas to every American citizen. It is a right which broadcasters interpret as one requiring that equal opportunity be available for the expression of honest divergence of opinion. But in administering this responsibility, we must also be cognizant of the fact that radio by its very nature reaches all classes of our fellow citizens, regardless of race, religion or conviction and that there is no obligation to broadcast a speech which plays on religious bigotry, which stirs up religious or racial prejudice, or hatred. Such a speech is an abuse of the privilege of free speech and unworthy of American radio. - . , No obligation of free speech or of public service could justify broadcasters in allowing this great new social force to strike at the harmony of the nation. In a country of many races and many religions amicably dwelling together, broadcasts inciting racial and religious hatred are an evil not to be tolerated. In these troubled times throughout the world, there is a great need for national unity, and in the hearts of the vast majorities of our people I believe there is a great yearning for unity. . . . The responsibility to accept or to reject broadcast material is one placed squarely on the shoulders of the American broadcaster. It is up to him to evaluate what is and what is not in the public interest. This is a responsibility the American people have delegated to him in his license to operate a radio station. The National Association of Broadcasters will defend his right to discharge that 'responsibility. Ave Maria program, which has been running for five years. Fifth, to WHN and to WMCA and other stations throughout the country which have presented or are organizing Refugee Theaters of the Air.
