NATIONAL EDITORS IN
SESSION AT PENSACOLA
President of Association Pre-
diets Extensive Advertising
Because of Overproduction
(Ry United PreSs)

Pensacola Fla, March 7.-This is
q sellers year, VIII Wilke president
of the National Editorial association,
told the annual convention Of that
organization here today.
He predicted year Of extensive
advertising as result Of OverprO-
ductfon in many lines, bringing out
of merchandise shut off during the
war, and foreign competition. Pre-
sident Wilkes is publisher of the Ga
zcttc at Grey Eagle, Minnesota.
President Wilkes declared that no
time during the high cost period did
newspapers get near fair price for
space. The cost Of production Of
newspaper continues high and there
is little prospect of immediate lower
levels, he said. Under these condi-
tions it is unfair for space buyers to
charge newspapers with making ex-
cessve rates for space.
He called attention to resumption
of foreign productions on a large
scale and said that it was necessary
for American producers to extend
themselves into every market in the
world before European producers
capture the markets. Exchange rates
endanger Americas position in the
worlds market, pointing out that ex-
change rates now make Americas
products appear tremendously ex-
pensive in foreign markets, he said.
He urged district organizations of
the National Editorial association for
greater expansion Of the organiza-
tion, and divisional cooperation. The
association is becoming so large, he
said. that it is necessary to have adj
ditiOnal secretaries.
