ton in the matter of journalism must
be the work of the journalists them
| selves. and may the day soon come
when the South American press and
the press of the countries that border
| the Gulf of Mexico may exchange
thoughts and feelings directly, the
| good news as well as the bad!'
"As the representative of a news
| paper which for half a century has
had its own correspondents in all the
| capitals of America, / can only hope
| that the pan,American solidarity of
| the press may soon become an accom-
| plished fact. Nothing can establish
solid relations between our countries
! so much as our coming to interest
ourselves in each others daily life,
| and no artificial campaign for closer
understanding will have a value equal
TO that of true and full information
about each one of the sister countries.
Cooperation Vital.
Latin American journalism needs
cooperation. Our countries are
swiftly travelling the road toward de-
mocracy. Each zone of the country
in turn acquires influence in the ma
tional life. All wish to be heard, all
should be heard. The press of our
Capital is beginning to feel the neces-
sity of extending its service in the
interior, and this will soon be com
plication of effort so great that even
the big dailies will be unable to face
it without recourse to the co-opera-
tIon of their provincial colleagues.
'On the subject of transmission of
international news we find our Latin
American press almost entirely de-
pendent on submarine cable service.
Everything points to the possibility
that in the no distant future the un-
explained irregularities in the radio
service will be eliminated and the da-
dio made one of the regular carriers
of news for newspaper consumption,
but it is most likely that the cable
companies will not be a poor COM
petitor, but a prosperous partner in
the enterprise.
"In the meantime, it seems reason
able enough to expect that some saw
ing will be effected to the Latin-Amer-
ican press by a selection of news and
its maximum condensation at this end
of the business, while at the other
end the newspapers themselves have
the means to improve the result by
selecting the best people available for
the job of cable editors.
One-Sided Control Hit.
News is at the foundation of every
thing everywhere. Without untainted,
uncensored news sources there can
be no sound editorial policy, no effec-
tive public opinion, no lasting inter
national confidence. To this end, the
cooperation on a basis of equality.
excluding one-sided control of the
news organization, seems also the best
guarantee OF fair treatment all
around"
Mr.. Noyes explained the far-fung
lines of communication of the Asso-
ciated Press, which is recognized as
probably the greatest newSgathering
organization the world has ever seen.
The news arm of the Associated
Press is a far.reaching one, extending
to the most remote corners of the
globe and frequently bringing forth
thrilling story from the most unex-
pected, unlikely and sometimes hither.

More Than Hospitality.

The welcome which is being extend
ed to the distinguished representa-
tives of the republics of the South is
more than a sincere gesture of hos
pitality, Mr.. Catlin said. The Nation
as a whole sees in this visit the
augury of a. more complete and cordial
understanding among the republics
of the Western Hemisphere and it's
welcome is porportioned to its ardent
desire that the nations of the New
World shall enlarge their knowledge
of one another" he declared.
You can give to the people of this
country added knowledge of the lands
from which you come and of the peo-
pie whom you represent" he con-
tlnued, and you can take back to
your own readers impressions and
conclusions which we trust will pro
vide them with a better understand
ing of the aims and ideals which
shape our own activities"
1T is one Of the ironies of history
that for two centuries the people of
the North and South American conti-
nents, facing the same problems,
same aspirations and dwelling side by
side in the same hemisphere, have
nevertheless known and understood
the civilization of the Old World bet
ter than they knew each other.
"As we see it, the highest purpose
of your visit is something more than
mere inspection of our material
prosperity. We want you to carry
back with you 70 your own lands
something more than the height of
building or the number of wheels in
factory. We realize that. while this
may interest you, you have a culture
of your own, an architecture of your
own and industrial development of
your own. What we hope you will do
is that you will go below these mere
surface indications and that you will
use your time in this country to make
a study of the minds and hearts of
our people.
You will discover that we are a
peaceful people and that our political
creed may be summed up in the sim
pie words of Abraham Lincoln that
no man is good enough to govern an
other man without that other mans
consent; that our average citizen has
a sense of social justice and that
through our whole industrial fabric
runs a determined purpose to make
industry serve the public instead of
the public serving industry. You will
learn that far from being a material

ed him-he has ideals of truth, honor

CORRESPONDENTS, which the Associated
Press maintains at stragetic points all
over the world, but through its close
touch with the network of affiliated
news agencies whose services are at
its disposal, as its home news field
is open to them through their connec-
ton with lis. Let some big news
development be rumored in any quar-
ter of the globe and it is a question
only of telegraphic, cable or wireless
speed in transmission to put the ASSO-
ciated Press finger on the spot to
press the key that will release the
facts, whatever they may be, and lay
them before its members for imme-

newspapers
These things are interesting as
showing the scope of the newsgather
ing end of the organization. But of
course the great bulk of the world S
news develops in the more concen-
trated quarters. The Associated Press
naturally adapts itself to this fact and
its important bureaus dotting the
European continent, for instance, are
adequately stated to handle the
great volume of news that pours
through them.
The shifts of men in London and
Paris keep on constant guard through
every hour of the day and night. In
Madrid, in Rome. in Berlin and vari-
Gus other capitals the same sharp
vigil is kept with relays of competent
editors to handle the available raw

 Calls Prohibition Harmful
 She said she did not think the method of adopting prohibition was a good method and that she believ- ed it had done more harm than good. If the saloons had been clos ed first and people were permitted to purchase drinks to a reasonable extent, keeping within a reasonable alcoholic content she feels drunk enness in America would have dis appeared.
 Before you adopted prohibition you never saw so many young girls and young men drinking from pock- ct flasks and getting drunk" she said, and much hard has resulted from this drinking which would not have occurred otherwise"
 She said she believed the law in Poland was better, whereby alco- holic drinks are limited both in their alcoholic content and in the amount a person may purchase.
 The countess stopped at the Bur ritt hotel last evening and had breakfast there this morning. This is merely a social visit and just a flying trip to say Happy New Year to my good friend Father Bojnow- glad if you would say to my other friends in New Britain that I am sorry I cannot stop and call on them, but l wish them all Happy New Year" The last time the countess was in New Britain she was the guest of Major and Mrs. Frank H. Johnston who were enter tained at the residence of the countess in Warsaw on a recent European trip. She communicated with the Johnston residence by tele- phone this morning, expressing her regrets at being unable to stay long, CT in the city. She left this after noon for Hartford.
 Since her last visit to New Britain, the countess has spent the greater part of the year ill Warsaw. She returned to America last October and has been visiting friends in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo Michigan and Gary, Indiana. Early in De- cember she had the misfortune to fall on a slippery sidewalk in New York, sustaining injuries to shoul- der which kept her under the care of a physician for three weeks. She still feels the effects of the fall.

COUNTESS B|SP|NG VISITS NEW BRITAIN

 Harmful to Natin

Although the younger generation is not growing any worse, prohibi- tion has thrown temptation in their way in a manner almost inconceiv~ able, according to Countess Ellen Bisping of Warsaw, Poland, who spent last night and part of today visiting friends in New Britain. The countess visited this city about a year ago in the interest of a nor nal school for poor girls she is con- structing in Warsaw with the aid of her American friends.
 Poland has compulsory educa- ton law, requiring that every child seven years of age or overs shall go to school. Because this is a com paratively new law there is a scar city of teachers and Countess Bis ping is interested in training native teachers.
