At the beginning of the war
great pressure was brought to
beer upon the newspapers OF the
various belligerent nations to do
nate their advertising space for
patriotic purposes. From so many
quarters did the appeals come that
it soon became evident the pub
fishers would 60 bankrupt if they
yielded to all the calls. Conse-
quently, they soon saw the neees-
sity of a definite policy and OF
concerted action. They were pa
triotic and were anxious to do
all they could to promote the
cause of their respective govern
ments. i. 49,. -. -, @...,....
f.. Butts not advertising space
commodity with just as definite a
value and just as fixed a manu-
featuring cost as case OF cart
ridges or a carload of canned
goods?
If the manufacturers of NUM-
lions and other supplies were to
be paid for the products of their
factories, then why should not
the manufacturers of advertising
space be paid for the products
of their factories? To give their
space away would be to depreci-
ate the value of advertising In
the mind of the public at large.
We are all familiar with the
advertising campaign in England
to secure recruits, and we all
know what great results were
achieved. Now, this space was
paid for in cash - not donated.
Tile Individual publishers con-
tributed to the fund in the shape
of checks and taxes, ust like other
business men. .......
Similarly, in Canada, the pub
fishers had to decide what their
policy would be. Did patriotism
demand that they donate their
space to all the objects growing
out of war conditions? Or, were
they justified in viewing their ad-
vertising as having as fixed
value as any other commodity
needed for the equipment of the
army and the prosecution of the
war? ....- H.
The answer is supplied in let
ter to Printers Ink from Charles
F. Roland, president and general
manager of the Winnipeg Tele-
gram. We commend Mr.. Roland's
logic to the body of men who, in
the years, to come, expect to con-
tinue making their living out of
the sale or purchase of advertising
space: ....
"The policy adopted by the
three Winnipeg papers is to charge
the l0000-line rate to all patrl-
otie, Red Cross societies and or
CARNATIONS doing war-relief work.
This plan was considered from a
business standpoint, as advertising
space is the only commodity the
newspaper has to sell.

Winnipeg papers are contributing

previous to February /, when
| became associated with the Win
nipeg Telegram, l held the posi-
ton of secretary-treasurer of both
the Manitoba Patriotic Fund and
the Manitoba Red Cross Society.
During the first year Of the war
we raised by public subscription,
through the use of from four
column to fullfpage appeals in the
newspapers, over 100000 in
cash; for the Red Cross Society
we used only small space, which
had the result of bringing in over
$250,000 in cash and supplies dur
ing the first year. ."... -
Ten days ago Winnipeg re-
quired $4,000 additional funds
for patriotic purposes. The CON-
naittee in charge of the campaign
used five-column display an
nouncements in each of the three
Winnipeg papers for five days,
and when the campaign closed the
amount was over-subscribed.
'.The Canadian Red Cross So
.eiety has sent millions of dollars
worth of goods to the battlefields
of Europe, and the Manitoba Pa
triOtic Fund, which helps to pro
vide for the wives and children Of
the soldiers Oh active service, is
paying: out nearly 100000 per
month. ..... .....
1T would be just as reasonable
for the Red Cross Society to go
to one of our wholesale dry goods
houses and ask them to supply one
hundred rolls of hospital linen as
it would be to come to our news
papers and ask us to contribute
our space free. Our. space is just
as much of staple commodity
with us as the linen is with the
wholesale dry goods house.
"'The policy adopted has re-
ceived no criticism; on the other
hand, the patriotic societies only.
use a limited amount of space at
such times as they are absolutely
in need of funds. " H."-
There can be no question but
that the stand of the Canadian
and English papers is both pa
triotic and business-like. Under
such a policy as Mr.. Roland de-
scribes, advertising will emerge
from the war with respect for it
increased, rather than diminished.
Surprising the Canadian pub
fishers had chosen to give away
million dollars worth of space.
People would have been quick to
say, ooh, it didn't cost anything
probably it isn't worth any
thing =. e.. =.

But, instead of giving away a
million dollars worth of space,
the Canadian papers charged their
government a fair price and then,
from a modest campaign, produced
a million dollars worth of results.
Which is the better advertise
ment of advertising ito give away
a million dollars worth of space,
or to demonstrate that Intelligent
advertising can be made to yield
a million dollars In direct returns7
And as for patriotism-we think
the stand of the Canadian publish
ers was absolutely unimpeachable.
What is freely given away is al.
ways lightly esteemed. If the
Canadian dailies had donated out
of hand a million dollars worth
of space, the chances are the space
would have been filled with per-
functory, flabby copy. There
would have been no returns worth
talking about, and advertising
would have received another black
eye. ~.
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association, meeting this
week in New York, has just put
out bulletin to its members, the
sentiments in which seem, not only
to Printers Ink, but to a great
number of advertisers and adyer-
Using agents, to be thoroughly
sound and deserving of applause.
This is the official expression of
the greatest and most influential
organization of newspapers any
where III the world:
''Is the American Newspaper
Published for Love? *...
"Great Britain advertises In the
newspapers for recruits and pays
the newspapers for transmitting
its messages to the public.
Il. Canada pays the newspapers
for advertising her apple crop, for
patriotism and production, cam
paign to secure increase III agri-
cultural production and a town
plot cultivation campaign to III
crease the number of backyard
gardens under cultivation, and
also a campaign to increase the
consumption of peaches and
plums.
The United States Govern
ment, and some others, seem to
view the newspaper as an omni-
bus, designed for free transporta-
ton. The Government, however,
pays its way In all other lines, in
Guiding billboards for securing
recruits.
Are the newspapers of Great
Britain and Of Canada lacking IN
patriotismY Henry Ford pays for
his peace advertising. The Am
erican Defense Society seeks the
news columns to push its propa-
ganda." =.:.....

otism, preparedness and publicity
