0l"rxwA (CP) - The increase and on-.-entrstion of power both 5. government and other areas ol the nation makes freedom .1! the press more important than 9..-r, External Affairs Minister Pt,'C.Il'SUn said Thursday night. .

"Big journalism has developed .,,1..nc with big government and big business," he said ”until to- day in one or two comm ties of our country. the three mal mech- anlsms for disseminating informa- tnm nd influencing public opin- inn-press, radio and television- a..- under single ownership and zllll (ii. i ”'l'Ilis process 1 extended must. I think. cause anxiety to all those nno believe in freedom of press and opinion: and in free competit- iw enterprise."

illr. Pearson was guest speaker at the first Bowater Journalism Allards dinner. Winners were Frank Flaherty for a series of .- - on freedom of the press carried by The Canadian Press in 1955 and Allan Kent of the Tor- onto Telegram for his articles on the possible effect of automation on Canada's economy.

Air Pearson said it is not sur- prlhlllg ”that those who are clothed with some brief but bur- densome authority, who are wor- ricd by the pressures and respon-

"This impatience is increased when tin Inquiry. they feel. is not iairly and objectively conducted. There is. I think, in these circum- stances a justification for irrita- tion or impatience.

"But otherwise. no one has any right to complaint about the searehlight of honest press inves- tigation, event hough he may be dazzled or dumbfounded by it."

DOUBLE .1R.EA'I' J

Mr. Pearson said he sees two nlain threats to press freedom to- day.

"One comes from those non- democratlt. and dictatorial gov- ernments who dislike the check on power and authority which a free press can bring about . . .

"There is another threat to press freedom. however, which comes when krcsponsibillty ap- pears in the press itself. Such ir- IEBDOIISIDIIIIY in any one newspa- per eventually impairs belief in the integrity and fairness of all newspapers.

"Tile resultant loss of public confidence and support inevitably makes it much harder for the press to stand up to those forces which would destroy its freedom.

"These two thing; .. freedom sad,responslhtllty - are. as we are so often remlnded.'insepar-

Bert Cobb. Chief Engimer of CKWS-TV, Kingston. Purdy. Davidson and Cobb have been in Britain for the past several weeks.

One of the largest theatres in Britain has been purchased by the Thomson group for conversion into the main television studio centre in Glasgow.

The Scottish station will also carry a number of programs from these centres. 1. T. N. (In- dependent Television News) a co- operative news agency t "1 h J by the commercial contractors provides direct competition to the BBCP TV news. Prior to the est- ablishment of I. T. A. stations. viewers had a choice of only 3. 11. C. News and Television program- ming. Mr. Thomson has been In- vited to serve on the board of 1. T. N.
