Truth Foundation For World Peace Says Agency Head London (AP)--Kent Cooper, executive director of the Associated Press, said last night the peoples of the world will better understand each other's problems if their news- papers, free of government control, give them the truth. Cooper was the principal speaker at a banquet marking the 100th anniversary of Reuters News Agency. Truth, he de- clared, is a foundation for international peace, and countries get the truth When : a free press co-operates to disseminate the news. Both the AP and Reuters gather * and distribute news on a co-opera- tive basis under newspaper control. Cooper said the AP, which mark- ed its 100th anniversary three years ago, developed "a method by which the people assuredly can get the truth while freedom lasts." "This method," he said, "Is the control of the collection and dis- semination of the news by the newspapers themselves, rather than by opportunists or by governments." "Such widely distributed spon- sorship of a news agency by the newspapers means it is supported by a large group of individuals who hold diversified views and suspicions on every proposal under the sun. As the news service is their own responsibility and with each newspaper jealous of its own individual views on matters of pub- lic interest, the more quickly will untruth be recognized and meas- ures of correction b€ taken." Prime Minister Atlee, who also spoke at the dinner, pledged the support of the British government in the fight for freedom of infor- mation. "A great hindrance to peace," Attlee declared, "is the ignorance of one people about another. Ignorance breeds suspicion. A great service performed by Reuters is that it lets us know what other people think." Other speakers included Christo- ry pher Chancellor, general manager of Reuters; Sir Lloyd Dumas, chairman of the Australian Asso- ciated Press; and Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, Representing Canadian newspa- pers at the banquet, attended by about 1,000 guests, were Gillis Pur- cell, general manager of The Canadian Press, and Mrs, Purcell; Edwin 8. Johnson, chief of CP's London bureau; W. H. Woolnough, vice-president of the Southam ' Newspapers, and Mrs. Woolnough; and W. G. Matters of the Toronto Star's London office, and Mrs. Matters.
