...absolute responsibility to present all points of view in its news stories, on its opinion page and in its selection of letters to the editor. (The Crimson fulfilled this responsibility in this case by printing a story about Mr. Chan's arrival on campus.) But because of its inherent bias, unrestricted advertising is antithetical to this responsibility. To completely avoid the possibility of such bias, a newspaper might ideally eliminate all advertising. This, of course, it cannot do, since advertising income is necessary for its publication, and because there are legitimate informational functions of advertising. However, a newspaper does have...

...hidden barrier, Weil agrees, is "the gigantic Japanese bureaucracy, with its bias against foreign manufactured goods." This shows itself in many ways. Government agencies like the railways and telegraph and telegram systems, which spend roughly $52 billion a year, have been under orders to "buy national," and although this restriction has been eased in recent months, old habits die hard and few foreign orders have been placed.
