PAPER AND UNEMPLOYMENT
OUT OUR WAY
BY J. R. WILLIAMS
ance is no greater than you will
find, say, between New England
and the Deep South. They are
probably not as great.
If you keep your eyes down
there are NO high buildings here
you won't realize that you
aren't In San Francisco, with its
present throngs ol men in uni
form. There are more different
KINDS of uniforms here, for
there are troops from all over the
world, but that is about the only
difference in the crowds.
THERE is an American theory,
widely held, that the British
are reserved and cold and dis
tant almost to the point of
clamminess. . That isn't true.
After a few weeks here, this
writer has come to the conclusion
that what they are is SHY.
They practically never speak to
an American FIRST. But when
the American goes ahead in his
natural, normal manner and
starts asking questions, or com
menting about the weather, or do

initial ice and get a conversu-J

A Westerner soon comes to the
conclusion that English people
are much easier to get acquainted
R-lth than New Englanders. Tills
writer once made a casual re
mark to his next-door neighbor
at a restaurant counter In New
York and received this rebuffing
answer: "You're one of these
Westerners who speak to Strang'
ers. aren't you?" There is none
of that attitude here.

a fairish scale have offices, even

often an inter - ocnimunicating

they are normally to be found

American's curiosity. Under this
barrage of questions the English

... By Charles V. Stanton
Oregon has 127 newspapers of general circulation, repre
senting a total investment of f 13,211,496, Carl C. Webb,
assistant professor of journalism at the University of Ore
gon, and secretary-manager of the Oregon Newspaper Pub
lishers association, reports in an article appearing in the
current issue of Oregon Business Review, a publication from
the Bureau of Business Research, School of Business Admin
istration, U. of 0. Mr. Webb's report includes newspapers
only and does not cover trade publications, labor or farm
papers.
Since Pearl Harbor, he reports, 18 Oregon newspapers
have suspended publication or have been consolidated. All
except one of these were weeklies, and the majority were
small publications making a marginal profit, Webb states.
Telling of the results of a recent survey made by the
association, he reports that newspapers are operating with
manpower shortages from 25 to 50 per cent below normal,
while 800 employes are in military service, leaving 2,230
to carry on the work.
Oregon newspapers have shown large gains in circulation,
part of which results from 22,000 copies being sent regu
larly to members of the armed forces. The major part of the
increase of nearly 100,000 copies, however, results from new
families coming into the state since the war.
Mr. Webb points out that daily newspapers have been
limited to from 76 to 96 per cent of their newsprint con
sumption for a corresponding quarter in 1941, but he does
not mention that this shortage of newsprint is, in the opin
ion of experts, apt to continue for a good many months.
Some of the more pessimistic forecasts are that newspapers
will not get sufficient newsprint for two or three years.
Mr. Webb says in his article:
The home-town newspaper has been likened to a "con
cave mirror" which not only reflects tho life In the
community but shows all sides and phases by explaining
local happenings in great detail. The function of the
community newspaper is to print all of the local news, to
publish authentic information which often "spikes" rumors,
to entertain readers through the use of pictures and features,
and to increase the tempo of business In the oommunlty by
providing advertisers with a valuable advertising medium.
To accomplish these responsibilities enumerated by Mr.
Webb a newspaper must have newsprint. Because of news
print shortages during the war, newspapers have eliminated
or reduced many of their entertainment features comics,
cartoons, editorial and health columns, crossword puzzles,
serial stories, etc. Newspapers have been condensed
through tighter editing, smaller headlines, less white space,
smaller type. Many papers, like the News-Review, have
been forced to limit circulation to their own communities.
Advertising has been greatly restricted. Some papers have
rationed advertising. Others have placed maximum size
limitations in effect. , '
It is quite evident that until newspapers can obtain more
newsprint, they cannot fully discharge the responsibility
they have for printing all the news, entertaining their read
ers and serving their advertisers.
Shortage of newsprint may seriously affect the speed of
reconversion. Kight now this country is faced with a irreat
unemployment problem as industries convert from produc
tion of materials of war back to the products normally
manufactured. The speed with which industry can be
brought back to full peacetime production will govern the
length of the unemployment crisis. The reconversion period
can be materially shortened through the medium of adver
tising. Consumer demands for merchandise will enable fac
tories to supply jobs for laborers. The larger the trade
demands, the greater will be the rate of employment. Ad
vertising produces consumer demand. But without ade
quate supplies of newsprint, newspapers cannot give the
service their advertisers will need. Already the demand
for newspaper advertising space is growing by leaps and
bounds.
Local business has grown sloppy in advertising habits dur
ing the war. Ketail stores had little merchandise to offer
and they could sell what they had without extensive adver
tising. Within a few more months there will be an ample
supply of consumer goods. Merchandising competition will
increase. Business firms will need advertising space to
hold up profits. But unless newspapers can secure more
adequate supplies of newsprint distribution tif merchan
dise may. be adversely affected, thus retarding the manu
facturing industry in full scale employment.
As Mr. Webb points out, newspapers can increase the
tempo of business. It will be a tragedy if we permit full
scale employment and industrial reconversion to be retarded
simply because of inadequate supplies of newsprint.

Destruction of
Nagasaki Beyond
Man' Imagination
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-IAP)
The New York Times said today
in a dispatch from W. II. Law
rence, aboard a flying Fortress
over Nagasaki. Japan, that the
atomic bomb dropped on Naga
saki brought "destruction of a
sort never before imagined by
man and therefore . . . almost in-descrlbable."
"... There wc:. nul a living
thing to be soon in the area along
both sides of the Ulakami river
where Ihe Iximb damage was con
centrated,' Lawrence wrote!, t
Nagasaki, a Japanese indus
trial renter of -'.Yl.OOO persons,
was bombed August 9. one day
before the Jaane:fO government
broadcast its surrender offer.
"Block after block oi buildings,
which were jammed together so
closely that N;.gus;tki looked
lrom the air in peacetime liko a
sea ol roots, has disappeared,-"

"Thp area where the bomli hit

the industrial potential of Japan.
Sight Stuns Him
'"this correspondent, who has
the worst damaged cities
of Russia and of Poland, was
stunned by the sight of Nagasaki
below him. About 50 per cent
of the town seemed to have been
completely wiped out. and the
destruction in that area was
worse than any the writer had'
seen In Stalingrad or Warsaw.
An arms factory is nothing
but a mass of twisted girders,
Lawrence continued. "The
wooden tlnderbox hoi.srs which
were Jammed eve to eve have
disappeared and nil that remains
are tivgrncnts that trom the
plane look about the sie ot
match sticks.
"It is obvious that the flash
when the bomb went off was
great and covered a l.uge area.
Even Forests Leveled
"On the sides of a rugged
treo-cuvored hill that is close be
hind Nagasaki, whole sections
of forest have been burned off.
"The winding Urakami river
flows exactly through the center j
ol the destroyed area. It was
clcur from the view we have had.
today that it was no barrier to1
the spread of fire and destruc
tion. "We have as yet no accurate
report on the number ot persons
who were killed and injured in
the atomic bomb blast, but there
is no doubt that industrial Naga
saki was completely wiped out
by the single bomb.
