Editors Exchange
Views on News in
Washington Session

Washington, Jan. 16-The Ameri-
can Society of Newspaper Editors,
opening its annual convention today,
held true to journalistic ethics, and
IN two edltiOnS--a morning and eve
ming session-attempted to cover eI
erything that has happened since it's
meeting of year ago.
Criticism of some phases Of the
profession were coupled with a vigor-
Gus defense of the good faith of the
newspapers of the country. and the
scope of journalism was defined by
one editor-Herbert Bayard Swope,
of the New York World-as life re-
fiected in ink, and must partake Of
the uglincss as we'll as the beauty"
Deletion and suppression of crime
news was touched upon and de clared
to be unsound. it being said that
expression can never be so bad, for
the individual or group, as suppress
sion"
The viewpoint Of the medical profess
sion on the press was brought up by
DIR. Norris Fishbein. editor of the
American Medical Association Journal,
who linked together the "honest doctor
and the honest newspaped man" in be-
rating the publicity hound" but add
ed that the average reporter falls an
easy prey to the medical exploiter Of
the press"
c. II. Dennis of the Chicago Daily
News told the convention that when
YOU begin to inquire as to who are the
gentlemen who attack newspa pers, you
are surprised to find how little they
know about newspapers
They sit in IL corner, perhaps" he
added, and dream about what news
papers are, but they have very little
information. and I think 1t is a very
wholesome thing to call these gentle
men to account"
A report by committee on the in
tegrity of the press, headed by Paul
Bellamy of the Cleveland Plain Dea Ter.
was adopted. The report proposed a
rigid code Of ethics. not to be laid
down in fact. but to be born in the
minds of editors for their guidance in
the publication of semi-public matters
affecting the private lives Of persons
in the public eye.

Time Not Ripe
For Arms Farley
Belief Coolidge

Washington. Jan. l6.-Conditions
in Europe still preclude any move
by the United States toward another
arms conference in the opinion OF
President Coolidge.
The Washington government con-
sequently is making no further
move toward the calling of such a
conference.
The white house today authorized
fat denial of published stories that
fn arms conference would be called
early in the spring.
Mr.. Coolidge still feels that the
United States should await the out
come of the move made by the
league of nations to bring about
limitation of ornaments, and should
Go nothing in the matter until the
success or failure of that move is
developed.
While the presidents views were
being made known at the white
house, Senator King, Democrat,
Utah, gave ,.otice in the senate that
he would later move a suspension OF
the rules for consideration of an
amendment to the naval appropria :
ton bill "authoriZing and request
ing" the president to invite the
world powers to participate in a
conference to be held in Washing
ton for consideration of further
limitation of ornaments on land and

steamship and aircraft companies
stand ready to undertake air trans
portation as soon as the airplane or
dirigible are brought to a reasonable
standard of perfection, the congress
sional sub committee investigating
United States air services was told
today.
A. G. Smith of Greenwich, Conn,
president of the American Steam
ship Owners Association and of the
Ward Line. testified he long had
awaited the time when airplanes
could profitably enter the field OF
land, water and air transit.

velopment would evolve in this coun-
try a commercial air service that
would cooperate and compete with
other forms of transportation in car
rying mail, specie, gold bullion. i'm
portant documents and other eX-
pressable matter, over long distances
and at rapid speed.
John w. Newlean. vice president
and treasurer of the American Rail-
way Express Company, testified that
he for years had taken an active
part in promoting flying. He> also
submitted long telegram from r..
NJ. Cowie, president of the express
company, which set forth that the
organization was closely watching
aircraft development with view to
contracting for the construction and
establishment of an air express serV-
ice when the necessary degree or
safety and reliability and of proper
relation of load to cost was attain
ed"
Thus far no ship that meets these

an overnight express service between
New York and Chicago"
The first commerce undertaken
would be in emergency express. said
