NO SUBSTITUTE FOR
YOUR NEWSPAPER
Exeter sun

Newspapers continue to be the nations most
powerful medium for advertising. despite the
attempted inroads of other media. People grow
used to newspapers as part of their daily life
that sometimes it takes an unusual event to
jar them into realization that without the news
paper, business would suffer a severe setback
After the recent newspaper strike in Portland
when the city was left without newspaper for
several days the following comment was made
by member of the typographers union:
Newspapers in Portland are more appreciat-
ed now than they have been in the past fifty
years, and one would think, after listening to
comment in public gatherings and on the street
that one of the greatest events in history had
happened. II was brought out. rather conclu-
Sively that radio advertising is not responsible
for bringing customers into the metropolitan
area stores into the suburban stores because
during the duration of the strike retail trade
suffered a tremendous drop in business and the
little merchant who seldom advertiseS was the
one hardest hit 1t is apparent that the ad-
vertising of the large mercantile establishments
brings to the little merchant his customers and
that the little fellow should share his just
sponsibity in newspaper advertising in the
future"
c. E. Baen president Of the San Francisco
Convention and Tourist Bureau whose success
ful execution OF his duties depends his ability
to select the most effective advertising media,
wrote recently to the editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle as follows:
Believe me there can never be a substitute
for the newspaper in civilization Advertisers
should never look for substitutes for newspapers
but should rather seek every opportunity TO
build up the newspaper as an institution for the
preservation of the very structure of business
itself People need newspapers for communica-
ton but they also need intelligent leadership
of thought and in this field there can never
be a substitute for the proprietor OF a news
paper willing to sponsor a thought as we'll as
report events"
Such is the opinion of those who know news
papers and their powers. With such an assur-
ance newspaper publishers cannot but view the
future of their business with optimism.

HANDS ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS

A long needed chain of friendship at
last seems to be unWinding between San
Diego and Imperial counties. Most con-
crete demonstration to date is found
in plans for the caravan of San Diego
automobiles and people who will cross
the mountains Sunday to visit the I'M
perial county fair on San Diego Day.
Our county has been receptive to over
lures Of friendship for years. Our peo-
pie have gone to San Diego in the sum-
mer, they have spent their money there,
and they have felt that San Diegans are
their closest nelghbOrs.
San Diego county, until recently, SEEM
ed to take it all as a matter of course.
To the merchants and business men on
the other side of the mountains there
seemed to be no particular reason for
returning the favors they received from
Imperial county.
Result was, Imperial Valley began to
turn to Los Angeles in carrying through
its biggest business transactions. Ship
pers sent a majority of their freight
from here through Los Angeles. Busi-
ness men ordered their goods in Los
Angeles. Even vacationers began to go
TO Los Angeles in the summers.
Now that San Diego has awakened
to the need for "a reciprocal friendship,
there is every reason the spirit OF CO.
operation between the two communities
should be kept alive. 1t is to the best
interests of both that they pull together
for the greater prosperity and fuller
development Of each. Cooperation is al
ways better than antagonism.

WHAT DOES 1T MATTER
WHO'S TO BLAME?

Blaming somebody for everything has
become the great American pastine the
last few months. 1t doesn't seem to make
any difference who you blame, as long
as you blame somebody.
Big business blames the New Deal for
the business recession.
The New Deal blames Big Business
for the same thing.
Industry blames strikers for business
losses.
Labor blames industry for lower pur-
chasing power.
And politicians blame other politi-
clans for everything.
1t all seems so utterly useless. After
all, what we want now is not somebody
to blame for our stomach ache We want
somebody to cure it.
We will be a lot more able to place
the blame Justly after the pain has gone
away. And chances are that we'll have
TO shoulder bit of the blame ourselves
when that time comes, because we'll
probably find out that it is Just some
thing we've eaten.
1t seems to us that we'd all get a lot
further if we got together and admitted
that the other fellow is a pretty good
chap after all-so why shouldn't we
work as a unit?
1t may be necessary for nations to
build up heavy armaments against the
chance that other nations will take a
poke at them, but it should not be neces-
sary for the people of this nation to be
forever keeping their guard up against
one another How much for'rarder we
would be is we used both hands to pull
ourselves out of the hole, instead of
using one of them to bloody the other
fellows noSel
If two wildcats got caught in the same
snare. they would probably tear one
another to pieces because, through some
unreasoning association, each would
blame the other for his pain.
Human beings ought to have more
sense.
And. anyway, what differences does
il make now who's to blame?

mind of the President.
If it doesn't the left-Wingers in
the administrator ought to stand
in a rising vote of thanks to Mr.
Bernard M. Baruch.
Mr.. Roosevelt. as reported in these
dispatches, had reached a point
where he was taking the advice of
those who said he should say moth
ing and do nothing to disturb
business" He appears to have felt
that it was up to business to lay
off lambaSting the administration

ment Committee made the President
hopping mad.
only the headlines" said F.
D. r. casually when asked if he
had read Baruch's testimony. But
the headlines had told him that
Baruch had vigorously slammed
New Deal policies and blamed them
for the current depression
1t appeared that Baruch, although
somewhat vague as to economic
remedies, had come about as near
calling the present economic un-
pleaSantneSs a Roosevelt recession
as anyone could without using the
exact words.
Roosevelt hates the phrase and
the implication. New Dealers quick
ly insisted to him that the gist of
the benign, patriarchal Baruch's
testimony was that Baruch didn't
want to pay such high taxes.
A change in the Presidents at
titude is noticeable and left-Wing
advisers think a more aggressive
White House policy is likely AL
ready there are signs that Roose-
welt is studying the possibilities OF
replacing anti-New Deal Democrats
with New Dealers in this years
primaries and elections, despite an
outlook which has seemed discour-
aging. A new attack on the de-
preston through government
spending program is still likely. It's

For a chart of unemployment
some of the most outstanding gov
eminent economists prefer the one
