What is The Publication Policy of the Department of State about?
THE Department of State as a publisher is at obvious disadvantages as compared with other offices of the Government. In the first place, most publications of the Department of State have the character of state documents of international significance. Usually they include communications which originate with other governments. These documents must be carefully printed without variation from the original text, and with every precaution for securing accuracy of translation where the original lan guage is not English. It should be also a matter of pride to give dignity of appear ance to the publications in which they appear together with the correspondence of the American Government, and carefully to avoid sloppy and careless editing or printing. To insure the desired accuracy it is necessary to read back to an original source. It not infrequently happens that original sources are un available, and it may be necessary to send halfway around the world for them. Compilation and editorial work under such conditions must necessarily be slow.
