STRIVE TO GIVE FACTS
est. Paul PiOneer.Press.)

American newspapers come in
for good many knocks at home
and abroad. They are admitted
to be enterprising; but they are
charged with carelessness and in
accuracy in handling news. They
are popularity supposed to be run
by men utterly unacquainted
with the matters reported in
their columns. Occasionally some
one who knows what he is talk
ing about comes to their defense.
The manner in which American
newspapers handled the recent
general strike. in Great Britain
was the subject of much favor
able comment across the sea; and
now Anton Flettner's eyes are
opened by the accuracy of the
articles on his rotor ship that
have appeared in the American
press. Since the theory of the
rotor ship is rather difficult for
the layman to understand" says
Mr.. Flettner, "it would be so
easy to pass over it with some
high-sounding generalities that
really would not mean anything;
but no, every attempt is made to
get the true story. What / mar
vel at is the striving for scien-
tific accuracy on the part of the
American press" American daily
newspapers are produced under
tremendous pressure. They make
their mistakes; but that they fail
to serve their readers intelligent
ly and accurately is a conception
contrary to fact.
