others point of view. am OF the opin-
| ion that II some method could be devised
Of instituting a regular interchange in
the form of newspaper articles which
would elucidate and amplify the or
dinary news cablcd between the two
countries. and would serve TO interpret
objectively and authoritatively the move
mcnt Of opinion in both countries, much
good would result.
The news collecting agencies In the
very nature OF the case are not In a
position to meet the need that unques-
tionably exists for interpretative services
Of this kind. These agencies are doing
invaluable work simply In transmitting
a daily record of events, but everybody
interested In public affairs desires also
to understand the sequence Of events
and the significance they have In ma
tional and international life.
British labor, realizing the impor-
tance of keeping public opinion on both
sides OF the Atlantic fully informed not
merely OF events. but of the impulses be-
hind them. would welcome the establish
ment OF an Angio-American press or
ganization which would supplement and
extend In this manner the work Of the
news collectors"
Following the reading of Mr. Hender-
Vii - ASitcT, tdui M. w dTDurB Oh New
York and Edward G.. Lowry took up the
discussion. Mr. Lowry said Europe has
less news of America than America has
of Europe. He said there is now only
one German correspondent at Washing
ton. DR.. Shulteis, Swiss journalist.
said tnat 1t was because Europeans were
too poor to maintain journalists here,
this bringing from Mr.. warburg the
suggestion that America should sub
sidize the sending OF news abroad
w. s. Culberston. vice-chair1nan of
the United States Tariff Commission,
leader of the round table conference on
international and commercial treaties,
said that our commercial treaties are
antIqtfated and III adapted to present
day conditions. He noted that there are
several countries with whom we have
no treaties. He said he was in favor
OF moro rnationalism and such
treaties.
Discussion win be resumed to-mor-
row by the two round tables, which ap-
pear now to reflect conflicting notions
on the question Of the rehabilitation of
Europe.
Paul NJ. Warburg, leader of tho round
table proper on the rehabilitation OF
Europe. inclines to the view that there
must first be a elimination In the repara-
tion by France. Apparently. however.
DR.. Oscar T. Crosby, former Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, who leads the
table on the problem Of the interallied
debt, will give full discussion to the
French views for first achieving a solu-
ton OF the tnterallied debts without con-
tingencies. All of the round tables have
now entered upon their discussions. A
fair sample of the kind of work they
are doing was observed In the confer
ence on journalism. where the members
have been asked to present paper in
answer TO the following questions:
What Is your interest in foreign news?
Which papers do you read daily? Have
you faith in the integrity OF the jour-
nails you read? Is there too much or too
little of foreign news? Do you discuss
foreign news with your friends? How
much time do you devote to the reading
Of newspapers? What might be done
to improve our foreign correspondence?
Do you read an unsigned article in pref
erence to a signed one?
