bers of National Editorial association
causing considerable discussion.
The members of the committee feel
that the visit of the newspHpermen
would be worth while but fear tnat
the business community VIII not come
through with subscriptions to the
fund as II will be hard to snow direct
benefit from the visit in money spent.
II was shown that these visitors
would give more publicity than could
be obtained in any other way and the
case of Los Angeles subscribing $780,
900 for an aviation meet was cited as
an example of publicity work.
In communication received from
President Baumgartner of the editor
lal association II was stated that the
party would have to look to the north
for a vessel to take them here as the
best sure proposition they had so far
from San Francisco in chartering a
steamer would cost them each SlG0,
which they thought was too much.
