PAGETWO HURSbA'Y, OCT. r&, STATZSMAN, ROWMANVILLE, ONTAflXO 'J'R1~ r!ANArITAN ~ Responsibillty oi the Press Defined by Voter=m Editor Napier Moore, editorial director, Mac- lean-Hunter Publishing Company, was guest speaker at the Press Day luncheon of the Canadian National Exhibitio n. Ris theme was, "Responsibility of the Press," a subject too much neglected in these strenuous times. Speaking wlth a back- ground of 40 years personal expérience as writer and editor, M r. Moore set forth the fundamentals of a free and responsible press. We quote the hlghlights: "The responsibility of the Press is to the public it serves and flot toaany persan, group or order whose toes may be trampled upon. It must be more than a rn-ere news-gathering service; it must be also a very vigorous. voice in giving leàd- ership. Thus it must tolerate no influ- ences which curtail its major duty of serv- ing a well-informed public". Mr. Moore said that a responsible editor must at ail times be ready ta fight against any influence that seeks ta prevent the maintenance of informed public opinion; they must realize that every day, every hour, there were influences seeking ta prevent truth being known. That kind of an address, made by a man who today occupies cone of the fore- xnost éditorial pasts in this country, will probably be preserved by aIl the vigorous weekly newspapers across Canada. For it defines what no many country editors feel. In a smaller field the country weekly has ta meet the sort of "influences and criti- cisms" outlined by Mr. Moore. But there are seldom any pawerful rnetropolitan papers that came ta the defence of a har- ried country editor. Yet there in somnething just as patent and far more satisfylng.. And that is the support and the defence of the grass-roots subscribers who make up the backbone of I ____ the nation an-d who want the truth and the facts at the local level. That is the tradition that has grown up down thé years as wide-awake weekly newspapers continue faithfuily and resporisibly ta serve its community. Boy Describes An Editor A reader sends in the following alleg- edly writtenby a school boy in k arnsas, entitled "An Eiditor". 4"1 don't know haw newýspapers got into the world, and 1 don't think God does, for heain't gat nothirig ta say about these in tjie Bible. I think an editor in the missing link we read of, and that he stayed in the business until after the flood, camne out and wrote the thing up, and has been kept busy ever since. "If the editor makes a mistake, folks say he ought ta be hung; but if the doctor mnakes mistakes, he buries thern and people don't say nothing because they can't read Latin. When the editor makes one, there is a big lawsuit and sweariing-, emd a big fuss; but if the doctor makes one, there is a funeral with flowers and perfect silence. "A doctor cari use a word a yard long without him or anybody else knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one, he has ta speli it. If the doctor goes ta see another man's wife, he charges for the visit. but, if the editor gaes, he gets a charge of buckshot. Any college can make rioctors to order, but editors have ta be %born" You Tell Us - W.'I! Write One o! thé best éditorial writers o! temore than 600 rural weeklies across Canada is Jim Greenblat, editor of the Swift Current (Sask.) Sun. In a récent chronic grouchers, self -appointed uplifters, have an axe ta grind or have a pet theory ta pass on ta an innocent or ignorant pub- lic by sending their brain-starm ta thé editor ta publish it just as it is written. Here's the Sun's comment, which more modest editors might hesitate ta publiah, but this is National Newspaper Week when everything goes: Evéry once in a while we get a con- trlbuted piece o! news along wlth a nota- tion by the free-lance reporter ta: "Please print as written," or wording ta that e!!ect. And it neyer fails ta raise the hackles cn the back cf aur neck. Sometimes we even get bawled out over the telephone by these reporters for "tampering" with their brain- childs bef are we send them ta the linotype. We admit that w. do tamnper with them, but have noa apology to make to the writers for taking that privilege.

W. JAMES, bITe Governments in Business Governments should get out of bus- mnesses that can be successfully handled by private enterprise, was the common reply ta a qtuery made by The Financial Post. They also said that if gavernments insist upon being in such businesses, they should nat set up a monopoly, but open things- up ta competition frorn private enterprise. There are many reasons advanced why business is better off in private hands: gavernment waste and inefficiency; loss of taxes; operating lasses as a drain on public funds; general harm ta the spirit of free enterprise., Several respandents agree that the governiment should be in some fields, e.g., mail, atomic energy, but no ane presents an argument for gavernment intervention elsewhere. High Cost of Clerkocracy ofdiClerkocracy", according ta a survey cfindustrial paper work and office costs, has already gravely imperilled the offic- iency of industry. Such, at any rate, is the view of U. S. management consultant Em- mett J. Leahy, who says that in the United States toda1 there is one clerical worker frevery aàrmer in the country. Here's a sampling of the high cost of clerkocracy in the United States. The chances are the figures for Canada, witl its smaller population, are relatively much higher. Clerical salaries in the United States dlaim one-ninth o! the nation's total in- came. In banks and insurance campanies, 52 per cent of ail employees handie papers rather than produce new business. In the chemical industry thé figure is 16 per cent. In textiles, 26 per cent of ail the workers are in offices rather than in production. Based on an estimate o! the cost o! paper, stenography, office handling and equip. ment, it costs 20 cents ta "create" a single piece o! business paper. Clerkocracy is, o! course, thé expens. ive offspring o! bureaucracy. Govern- ments nowadays make such demands on industry with regard ta records, reports and other data, that weeding out unneces- sary clerkocrats requires, in the first instance, a thorough cléaning out of bur- eaucracy's Augean stables at Ottawa and Washington. Conspi ring Against Progres A canspiracy, whether in restraint o! Itrade or for some other nefariaus purpose, is something ugly indeed. Federal Judge IMedina's dismissal of the U.S. Govern- rnent's three-year anti-trust action against 17 leading U.S. investment banking houses charged ivith conspiring ta dominate the securities market in that country suggests that perhaps the real conspirators were those who inspired the. legislation on which the prosecution was based. The investment banking business is the~ il,,-riment whereby savings are en- abled to flow into capital formation and investrnent. End product of the process are countless new enterprises, such as have been established in Canada since the war, providing jobs for thousands of people. To interfere with the economic process at work would be tantamount ta cutting the jugular vein of the enterprise system. It is not beyond the realm of possibil- ity that the so-called "strengthening" in New Deal days of what, for want of a better name, is known as anti-trust legis- lation, was itself a deliberate conàpiracy an the part of the enemnies of democracy ta destroy the enterprise system and ta substitute for it some form of planned economny sa dear ta the socialist heart. Nor can the possibility be lightly dismissed that Canadian anti-combines legislation, innocently patterned on that of the United1 States, offers the same instrument for the underrnining of the enterprise system in this country.i Observations and Opinions that enables a tea kettle ta sing though in hot water Up ta its nase. More than 700,000 persans in Canada are now receiving thé monthly untversal aid age pension from thé Federal Govern- ment o! $40 a month. Cost o! living for farmer and his city cousin aren't thé samé thing, notes Thé Financial Post. -Much-quoted indices are for city. Latest farm familv living cast index shows living costs 203).4 per cent abave 1935-39 average, or increased more than city costs over that period.

Writing it is far different than sitting down and penning a letter ta Aunt Maud. When you do that, it's okay ta insert "we," "every- body enjoyed themselves," and such de- scriptive phrases as "a lavely lunch," "speedy recovery," etc., but they have no place in newspaper reporting.
