before the international advertising
convention of the Associated Advertis

News papers everywhere, the speaker
said, free from the control of ‘‘special
interests ’’ will be respousible for the
peace of thie World. Big advertising, it
was contended, ‘‘tends to make the
press independent and thus enable the
editor to ‘go straight’ in his seareh for
facts and truth.” l
The cost of publishing the mo«l(\rn|
newspaper, Mr. Finele explained, far
exceeds the returns from eireulation,
or the price paid by readcrs and sub
geribers. Bix million dollars a year—
more than a million pounds—hlaa ‘he

for ‘‘producing a great daily in our

““that the press is under 2n ever-in

he warned, there is no single factor

pointed out. ‘“And big sales will not
