Charges that the press associaUons serving; Portland . newspapers permit Portland news creditable to this city. such as records In shipbuilding-, to be spread through the country under Be atUe date lines, were answered by Sid ney B. Vincent, publicity director of the Chamber of Commerce, , In an address before the Portland Ad club last week. There bad been a statement made before, the club that Seattle has been getting credit for Portland's proud achievements In shipbuilding and war work. . - , Mr. Vincent told of the Associated Press, United Press and International News Service which, with their thou-. sands of miles of leased wires, dis tribute Portland news throughout tha country arid gather the news of the world for Portland dallies. "I must now take up directly the In dictment of ' the press associations of this city, which was handed down by one of our members a few days ago." he ) continued. ' The gentleman in question knew not whereof he epoko. He simply was repeating a cock and bull story which seems to break out in Portland periodically, just as Mount Laanen, and generally wKh., the same result; the outpouring; seems' to vanish Into thin air. It has nothing back of It but hot air. Portland Sews Spread "From my, personal knowledge of the activities of the correspondents of the Associated Press, the United Press, and the International News Service rest dent in this city, X positively state that Portland's record as the largest pro ducer of. ships in the United States during the past three years has been carefully and conscientiously handled on a news basis. I know it because I, as publicity manager for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, have frequently furnished al) three associations with summaries of our shipbuilding record. And I have in my possession scores of clippings from the newspapers of the country to prove : the fact. "X have Yepeatedly been ' asked why Portland news does not appear in New York and other Eastern papers more frequently. ; My answer Is that all Portland news of value to the readers of the papers of the' far East Is pub lished in those papers. When Portland people go to New York they are greatly disappointed when they pick, up the papers and do not see on the first page that there was a 125.000 fire on Front street or that some incon sequential Individual, so tar as . New York readers are concerned, was killed by an automobile at Fourth and Alder, ' or that Oeorge Baker, our worthy mayor, had announced his In tention of cleaning up Dan Kellaher's municipal fish market. They can't understand it. "But let Oeorge Baker announce that he is going to put down I. W, W.-Ism and the Bolshevikt If It takes the en tire Multnomah guard to do It, and Mr. Portlander in New York - wttr have the news served to him for breakfast. X have the clipping to prove it. "News to be worthy of telegraphing must have a determinate value, the worth of which is appraised by the skilled representatives of the press as sociations. As it travels from its source, its value decreases, ma it must be anoarent " that onlv thi dim! Im portant news originating in Portland or Seattle or Spokane, will be printed in the New York papers. The editors of New England do "not print news for the benefit of transient Portlanders. They must print news of the greatest interest to the people of their particu lar community. So it is tfeat Portland people in the I'ast see so few items from this city. "It is not the province of the nrens associations to boost any city. Their function is to carry only legitimate news as it develops. If, as Is undoubt edly the case, Seattle gets more date lines than does Portland, it is because more news develops in that city. , City Slow News Point rPortland, in my estimation, Is far from being as good a news gathering point as Seattle. That city has sev eral good news sources not existent in Portland. Oriental liners and a large deep sea traffic are splendid developers of news. The British Pa cific cables to Australia and New Zea land and to Japan and China, together with the Alaska cable and Alaska trade, produce many news features and Seattle's proximity to British Co lumbia is also to her advantage. Also Seattle has a large number of gov ernmental bureaus always a source Of news. "So, when some One. tells you Port land is not getting a square deal from the press associations, Just make up your mind that your informant has a grouch and does net know what he is talking about "We must make Portland a news center. It is all very I well for us to get up on Council Crest and shout Portland, Portland, Portland !' but that will not get us very fat. Lt us put the port in Portland and the Associated Press, and the United Press and the International Nsws Service will gladly herald our commercial importance to the world. We will be in the New York papers every day and Mr. Portlander will be able to walk down Fifth ave nue with his head in the air and" proud to point to his city as the greatest port in tha Pacifle' Northwest."
