-a it faczz rrcm m Chessman v-T' ;Is, Dinner;.;: ;Speaker ; - Sen.. Merle . Chessman f-As- toria was the speaker at the din- ' Eer meeting of the Salem Busi ness and Professional Women's club - -at'-, the Golden .Pheasant Tuesday night Sen. Chessman, newspaper editor and publisher ' . kind president of the Astoria ; broadcasting station, chose "The ' institution of American ncws- - paper journalism as a force and factor in the worldwide revolu tions of social thought" as his subject, v " The senator spoke in substance - as follow . "Since the .first "Wdrld war, countries of Europe -allowed ; the principle of self- i government to be abused and abandoned, substituting Godless worship for -something their .; leaders call national glory. For -the last decade " the American newspaper has been subjected to a hurricane of events, resulting in a; terrific strain upon itsre sourcefulness and ethics. , : "The depression of the early . . thirties caused a cessation of -unrestricted, ungoverned private : , - - enterprise with its -accumula- tions of wealth among, the few. . Tn the ensuing, confusion, Frank- lin Roosevelt and the new deal ; appeared. His first major ac - tion, the 'nationwide shutdown . of hanks. required the coopera tion of the American press. . -The speaker declared that the American press js the fourth es- ; ; tate . of government and has fought madly to stay intelligent ly abreast of developments that " it was bound by the constitution and the bill of rights to publish. "When the J, public issues of collective- bargaining, - power, wages and hours', social security, ' public relief and welfare and the like became the issues in political campaigns, newspapers ' assumed the responsibility to publish the news, but news without fear of pressure' groups, ; c.r favor to party. The speaker pressed the be lief,4hat because of the confu sion:' Wd intricacies of events and because newspapers as busi ness enterprises have been jostl ed, in some instances the press has been editorially behind the .times; but he could not agree with the' claims that the Amer ican - press, as ; a; .whole, "has failed in its responsibility to light the way for the American people." '? - In closing his address Sen. r Chessman saick "A merican newspapers have devoted them selves to the tasks of bringing ; 50 million American readers a clear picture of the facts of kill ing and carnage of the; war and .the insidious almost impercept ible dry rot, planted in the body f American democracy -by ele ments, who would destroy it as a way of life. The newspaper's job is not to involve a nation in war, or hold a nation from acting in the interests of its own safety. It is to print a news paper. "Although newspapers, some times deliberately emphasize in formation in their own interests, such policy admittedly followed by some men who have either , lost touch "with tne" common people, or are blindly greedy, is i . . i i nub uic prevailing ruie inai gov erns the American press. Cer tainly the stigma, in a great majority of cases, cannot be placed on members of the work ing press. "And even though our ? news system, in this country, is - a reflection of our social sys tem, the world has yet to see a' better social system and, I honestly believe,-a better news system its faults being what they are." , i Mrs. Helen Webster Beelar, formerly of Salem and now liv ing in Portland, introduced the speaker. " Accompanying Mrs. Beelar from Portland were Miss Hilda Fries, . Miss Marguerite Shelley and Miss Flora Heider; other members of the club now '. living in Portland.
