those that are the most important.

how many of these subjects you
yourself have missed the day before.
He is working for you to get out

something that has entirely escaped
you, gives in a paragraph the SUBJ
stance Of it, and then makes his COM

SO that-wilhout necessarily agree

Aft you will go over the editorial
page of your favorite newspaper for
one week YOU will be astonished to
discover that it has covered practi-
cally all the principal things that

But still more. The newspaper is
quick action. 1t has the whole world
OF periodical literature to draw upon.
If anything happens, whether it be
discovery, new book by world
writer, an invention or new theory
OF the. universe, the newspaper gets
1t, bolls it down to its es sentials. and
gives it to you the next morning.
And if you are very much interested
1t tells you just where to go for
fuller knowledge.
1t is your business to discriminate

things. That is where the fun comes

them away.
But the best time to read a news
paper is at night, in bed. And after
this, the best time to read it is the
second time. When you have
SKINNED your paper, put it aside and
go over it again. What you have
missed the first time is what YOU
want to know about.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-12
RAINBRIDGE COLBY, Secretary of Stoc uhose note on
the Polish situation apparently has reversed for
egn policy

many, where Italy, like Britain, had
no hopes or fears to be served by
any extreme policy. In point of
fact, not even the war had excited
Italian hatred Of the German as it
has that of the British or the French.
Italy made war upon Austria for a
definite purpose. She long ab-
stained from any declaration of war
upon Germany, and when she did de-
clare war it was because of the
pressure coming from her allies, not
of her own volition. Italy, too, had
faint hopes of any indemnity, which
grew even fainter as the Paris poll
cies were unfolded.
In the matter of Russia, italian
sentiments were even more in ac-
cord with British. There was a So
cialist storm in Italy wholly analo-
gous to the labor ferment in Britain,
and, in addition, Italians believed
that if the blockade Of Russia were
lifted food, particularly wheat,
would be much cheaper, and Italy,
it should be understood, has been
hardest hit of all the Allied coun-
tries by the economic consequences
Of the war.
Britain and Italy, then, early
struck hands and worked together
to seek a modification of the Treaty
Of Versailles and to bring about
peace and commercial intercourse
with Russia, even at the cost of rec
ognizing the Bolshcvist regime.
France, by contrast, stood for the
literal enforcement of the Versailles
document, as matter of life and
death, and for the non-recognition

The modern American newspaper
is one of the seven wonders of the
age. We do not realize this, be-
cause we are so close to it. Further
more, it contains more good liter
ature than any other medium of eX-
preston. Good literature is natu-
rally scarce anywhere. 1t is always
mixed up with mass of poor litera-
ture. The skill and ability and
method required to discover it in the
newspapers is in itself process of
education. Compare, for example,
modern edition of any American
newspaper with an average library.
The strong probability is that you
will find larger proportion of poor
writing in the average library than
you do in the newspaper. In every
newspaper, tucked away somewhere,
IS an excellent piece Of literature
1t may be a masterpiece, that will
straightway be thrown away and
forgotten. And the man who wrote
it will never be known. Yet it may
easily be masterpiece, because the
man who wrote it wrote it uncon-
sciously. spontaneously. out of his
heart, without hope of reward.
That is one reason. indeed, why
there is often a much better thing
in newspaper than you will find
In any magazine. The writer is not
self-conscious. He is, of necessity,
obliged to be brief. He knows what
he is talking about-he has just
been there. He feels it, because the
thing has grabbed him for the mo-
ment and swept everything else
aside. Afterward only the men in
the Office will know, but that will
be sufficient for him. Every first
class newspaper man has had that
experience. 1t is the same sort of

can't get along without it. Of
course, | rca!ize"-
Or else, with weak smile, he
says:
"Well, always manage to get
something out of it,"
A comparatively young man named
Upton Sinclair recently wrote
book about the American news
papers and called them every name
he could think of, and, being a more
or less vituperative person, he could
think Of lot. He said they were
rotten and untruthful and unfair,
and all the other things you think
OF when you are in rage And,
being person with what may be
called q martyr-mind, he rather ex-
pected that nobody would read his
book. because everybody in America
was naturally cowed by a "bought"
press, and, of course, they wouldn't
read anything against it. But he
was mistaken. A lot of people read
the book and most Of the news
papers quoted from it and comment
ed on it quite calmly. 1t was more
or less of TRADE, but it was inter-
esting, and it voiced the American
habit Of denouncing the newspapers.
Now, as a matter of fact, Amer
leans have never learned how to read
their newspapers. They are read
ing them constantly, but they never
have time to learn how. And as for
the women.
An American woman reads a
newspaper just as she conducts q
conversation. She makes little labs
at it, tosses it aside and talks about
something else. There is only one
thing in a newspaper that she alb
serbs, completely and utterly, and
that is the advertisements. But this
is secret process. She rarely re-
fcrs to any advertisement she has
read-cxcept to another woman.
This is defensive. She has learned
by experience that her husband, or
her father, wouh rather not have
her display too much intimate
knowledge OF the advertisements.
This is an economic law. But let a
man, in moment Of pure abandon,
New-York tribune., 1920-09-12

out three months later, he would balk
at it.
So that is the first rule in reading
newspaper. Rec he personal
utterances of the men who know
and who must be careful what they
say, because their regulations are at
stake. 1t may be argued that many
of the published utterances of prom
lnent men are misquoted. That is
not true. Occasionally they are, but
not as a rule. Newspapers are very
particular to get their interviews
correct. Moreover, if big man
writes an article himself over his
signature the strong probability is
that he has verified it.
Now most readers tacitly assume
that all the news in a newspaper
is on the front page, and that of
this most of it is contained in the
headlines. That is not true. The
real news lies deeper. While all edi-
tors are obliged to publish on their
front pages a great mass of news
that cannot be completely verified,
although the utmost precaution is
taken to get it right, it'does happen
that false news creeps in and that
there are substantial errors, or the
writing of correspondent is colored
by wrong perspective, or upon a re-
lance upon sources that afterward
prove to be unstable. Every human
being is bound to err some time and
somewhere. The reader who has
trained his mind to discriminate will
not or ought not to have any diff
Guilty in getting at the essential
facts.
And then he has another source-a
source that is not generally recog-
nlzed as news source, and that is
in the editorial page. When man
writes an editorial on any subject
he is forced by stern necessity to
give the facts. Somewhere in his
editorial there must be foundation
for his opinion. He is trained OBJ
server. He has a reputation to
maintain. He may be biased in his
conclusion. His opinion may be
quite the opposite from yours. You
may be able to detect where at least
New-York tribune., 1920-09-12

thing that a soldier in the ranks
has when, in the line of duty, he
does heroic thing. It's all in a
days fighting.
! Another reason why the special
articles in a newspaper are almost
certain to be better than the spe-
cial articles in a magazine is be-
cause the pay is smaller and the
action is quicker. 1t is a great mis-
take to suppose that men write al
together for money. When they
write solely for money it is likely
to show in their work. The special
article written by a writer of repu-
tatlon for a magazine may not be
nearly so good as the special article
turned off by some newspaper man,
because, first, he is not so self-con-
sclous; because, second, he knows
that he will get more immediate
response; because, third, he gets a
feeling of spontaneity and fullness
from his quick contact with his SUBJ
Ject, and, fourth, there is a greater
incentive for him to write we'll, as
his ambition is keyed higher than
the writer of an established repu-
tatlon, who accepts the order from
the editor as a matter of routine.
Furthermore, when subject

tor, If his paper be we'll established.

he can get the head of great cor

other KIND of great man who is
more familiar with this subject than
anybody else, to write about it. That
man, naturally, is not trained writ

man, who has lived with this SUBJ
ject most Of his life, can put into
plain words more first hand knowl-

is not writing for money, but for a

France POwerless Alone


France.
France POwerless Alone
But just as long as France stood
alone her power for shaping policy
in the association of nations which
defeated Germany was slight. She
was outvoted again and again.
Italy stood with Britain in denounc-
ing the French occupation of Rhenish
territories when Germany broke the
Treaty of Versailles by sending
troops to the Ruhr. Little by little,
Britain and Italy, in association,
Lloyd George actually in control,
succeeded in imposing their will upon
France up to the point where, at the
Spa conference, amendments were
made to the Versailles document,
while by London negotiations the
Foad was opened Tor actual recOgnl-
ton of the Bolshevists.
Now it is exactly this situation
which existed at the moment when
the Polish disaster arrived. Had the
disaster not occurred there is not
the smallest doubt that both Italy
and Britain would have completed
their arrangements with Russia.
And what Mr.. Colby's letter actually
did was to smash this italian and
British combination into a thousand
pieces by giving to the French policy
the unqualified Endorsement of the
United States.
The French alone were incapable
of standing up to the Anglo-Italian
combination successfully, for obvious
