President Young said the Twelve were at liberty to publish papers in any part of the world whare they should be or take the best course to spread the work. The twelve should superintend the printing wharever they were. And If the Twelve were going abroad it would be well to ordain Elders out of new members that were baptized & take with them to preach & there should ownly one of the Twelve go to one place & Call seventies to their assistance.
