Equal U. 5. Interests
For East and West
Urged by Macarthur
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The future
interests of the United States, says
Gen. Macarthur, will lie as much
to the west as to the east"
Even now, the situation is badly
out of balance" he added in 8
letter to DR.. Frank D. Fackenthal
acting president of Columbia
University.
The letter was to express regret
that he could not attend yesterdays
exercises to receive an honorary
doctor of laws degree along with
10 other top military leaders.
"Since the birth of our Republic,
Macarthur wrote, "our economy
for the most part, beyond our do
mestic needs, has been geared tc
supply the lanes of commerce lead
ing from our eastern shores, and
our national defense largely has
been planned against attack upon
those shores.
"We now are badly out of balance
We must realize that our American
interests, both from the standpoint
of national security and economic
progress, in future will lie as much
to the west as to the east"
Secretary of State George c.
Marshall, former Army Chief of
Staff, accepted degrees in behalf of
himself and the other Army leaders
before an audience of $50.
Along with Gen. Macarthur, Gen
Henry H. Arnold received degree
in absentia.
Those who appeared to receive
degrees were Gems. Marshall, Eisen-
hover, Vandegrift, Hershey and
Kirk, and Admirals King, Nimitz
Halsey and Land.

|Ickes Calls on Press
To 'Price-Ration Ads
And Save Newsprint
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga, Feb. 22-Harold
l.. Ickes today advocated the ra-
tioning by price of newspaper ad-
vertising as one method of COM
batting a growing shortage in news
print while still giving readers more
news and editorial interpretations.
The suggestion was contained in
an address he had prepared for
the Georgia Press Institute before
a throat infection forced cancella-
ton of his appearance.
'I propose that you double your
advertising rates, at least for dis
play advertising" said the former
cabinet member, now newspaper
columnist. He added that the re-
suit would not be a doubling Of
profits because advertisers would
take smaller ads and in this way
you would save newsprint."
He also declared the newsprint
shortage could be eased by the con-
trolled tapping of the rich forest
resources of Alaska through Fed
eral development, which he said
he had advocated while Secretary
of the Interior.
Mr.. Ickes said "some reasonable
proportion between advertising and
news should be maintained" and
added that ''the disparate space
given to advertising" was causing a
discomfort that is growing among
newspaper readers"
He also advocated the elimination
of some comic strips, which he said
are neither good nor fun"
Mr.. Ickes said it was an editors
responsibility to see to 1t that his
readers receive the news, and de-
clared that it was in this respect
that many of the newspapers OF
America are falling down" This was
particularly true of smaller news
papers, he said, because of the news
print scarcity and increasing COM
plexities of news gathering and in
depreciation.
