~ OF Learned Profession"
by authority of the United States
government, 1t has been decided that
a newspaper man is a member of a
LEARNED profession"
THE decision will bring deep relief
To many persons in and out of the

fusion on this vital question. Some
newspaper men have described them
selves as--.'journalists." which has
moved others to define a journalist as
u newspapsfs man out of job. Others
have frankly aliened themselves with
labor, accepting theahehefits and the
depripations of such alliance with APP
