Foundation Stone Of Amer
lean Newspaper, A. P.
Man Tells Meeting

Chapel Hill, Jan. 23.-(AP)-Byron
Price, chief Of tho Washington BILL
reau of The Associated Press, told the
North Carolina Press Institute here
today that the news reporters pro-
duct still remains the foundation
stone of the American newspaper.
There are abundant evidences that
in spite of the intrusion of the radio
commentator, in spite of the increas-
ed number of pu5licists who write
from an editorial viewpoint of their
own. the product Of the news repor-
ter remains the foundation stone Of
the American newspaper" he said.
Nothing can take the place of
facts inteligcntly and accurately pre-
sented. Indeed, there is reason to be-.
lieve that the public puts even great
err reliance in plainly stated facts
from which it can draw it's own con-
illusions than ever before" Price con-
tinued..
The speaker quoted Elihu Root,
dean Of American statesmen, on the
subject, expressed in an opinion some
time ago.
with the extraordinary growth of
news service in recent years the pub
lie has been acquiring the habit of
being informed from day to day about
what is going OH i'll the world, and
this habit has greatly changed the
basis Of political action. The Amer
lean voters were formerly moved very
largely Icy stump speeches and strong
ly partisan editorials and by what
they were told concerning public
events in the course of a whirlwind
campaign Immediately before the
election.
"Today, as a rule, few elections are
decided before the political campaign
begins, and they are decided on the
basis of news which the voters have
been reading from day to day ever
since the last election"
