(AP) Frank K. ChiiiiuU, Koclien
ter publisher, protected today to
President Roosevelt for what he
ti-rined "an unfair reflection" that
"newnpapers are ediled in llio
counting room.
In an open letter, Cannett an
swered a recent statement by tlio
president in the St. I-oui PohMMh
pateli in wliieh Mr. Roosevelt saidr
"I have always been firmly per
suaded that our newspapers cannot
be eilited In the interests of the
general public from the counting
room."
"Anyone familiar wlh newspa
pers," Gannett said, "knows lull
well that any paper edited from the
counting room would he doomed tu
failure. No one Is more sure or that
than the publishers themselves."
Asserting that he wrote his
"open letter" at the request of the
Post-Dispatch, (iatinett continued:
"Of course a newspaper to he In
dependent, fearless and In position
ti render maximum service to Its J
readers ami to its community, must
be strong financially. 'I'll ere must
bo business efficiency in the man
agement of the publication. Hut
that cannot mean, by any stretch
of imagination, that (he editorial
policy shall be dictated by the
business office."
Gannett said a generation ago,
"when newspapers wero weak fi
nancially and living from band to
mouth, all sorts of subsidies were
accepted to keep the paper going."

(AP) An honor guard of 1'nited
States World war veterans fired a
salute today over tint flag-draped
casket of Siegfried W. Ran, former
German army lieutenant.
Ran, who won the Iron Cross,
came to this country two years afi

uralized. Commanding the honor guard,
Robert ilelmrich said:
"We Kl III have respect for sol
diers, whether limy are enemies or
not. We want to show that il can
happen here that there Is peace
tmd good will In the United Slates
while other countries are strife
ridden."
man government had no right to
suppose attacks of the same. char-1
actcr would not continue in the
United Stales.
Tension Increased . .
The exchange brought an ex
tremely sharp and new strain on
German-American relations al
ready tense from the recent with
drawal of ambassadors of both
countries and Germany's response
to Increasingly insistent recent
American notes. The state depart
ment considered the latter unsat-'
is factory.
Thomsen had told Welles he
trusted the government of the j
United Slates uou'd make public I
an official expression of regret for
Icltes statement. Thin Welles
flatly refused to do.
The acting secretary replied
that for several months he had
closely followed the German press
ami P.ad barely read more unjusti
fiable criticism or open attacks on
members of another government
than had been made I herein.
Welles mentioned recent attacks
on President Roosevelt and mem
bers of the cabinet. Ho bluntly
said he was sure the German
charge d'affaires could hurdly dis

Difference Pointed Out
Delegates pointed out there were
several appreciable differences be
tween the Argentine, text and the
Melto Kranco-C'oncha-Mull declara
tion, Argentina specified aggression
both from within ami from with
out the continents, but put within
i lie continents first. This was an
indication, conference spokesmen
said, of her continued suspicion
that the United States might one
day end the good neighbor policy.
The Argentine text omitted in
tention of the Pan-American na
tions to provide for their own de
fense, as contained in the majority
text.
The majority resolution contain
ed two classifications of aggression-,
direct and Indirect.
The general comment on the
texts was that under the majority
declaration continental defense
tended to be more a common task,
where as under the Argentine dec
laration it tended to he individual.
