Once the public realizes that its newspaper serves no interest save that of the truth it will give that paper an allegience that neither depression nor ill-fortune nor any form of hard times can weaken. I have faith in the American press just as I have faith in the American people and in our democratic institutions. I venture the opinion that the straightforward pursuit of truth and justice points one way to prosperity and large influence of American newspapers both great and small.

Ramasamy, told TamilNet on Monday.
