Fourteen The Capital Journal, Salem) Oregon Thursday, November 21, 1940 Local News Still Holds Reader Appeal Louisville, Ky., Nov. 21 VP) Local news Is still holding its own In reader appeal despite the war, M. v Atwood of Rochester, N. Y., assocl ate editor and head qf the central news and editorial office of Oannett newspapers, told managing editors of Associated Press member news papers at the closing session of their eighth annual convention on Wednesday. The editors gave a rising vote of commendation to the members of the Associated Press foreign staff for the work they are now doing. After adjournment at noon the group motored to nearby Fort Knox, where they were shown the army's new armored force stationed there. Atwood reported on a symposium survey of 75 A.P. managing editors He said that with few exceptions the A.P. papers he surveyed "have not let wars and major engagements on the political fronts diminish their emphasis on local they are still finding room for proper recogni tion of the career and achievements of 'Mr. J. Quentln WlUoughby,' newly-elected president of the Chamber of Commerce." Atwood cited exceptions to this view by B. W. Simpson of the Tampa Tribune, C. E. Smith of the Fairmont (W. Va.), Times and Wil liam L. Powers of the Youngstown (Ohio), Vindicator, but said most managing editors share his view that "local news Is the very heart of the newspaper, and It's a mighty Important local story that Is push ed out because of lack of space, Simpson's view was that "in such days as these, people are more In terested In national and foreign news than in secondary local." Smith held that "war Is the all-absorbing topic," and Powers said that "local news has got to be a lot better than it used to be to get In." The "good will" theme In news paper operation was discussed by Arthur Burrowes of the St. Joseph (Mo.), News-Press and Gazette. "We believe we live on good will," he said, citing that his papers spon sor annual Christmas parties, co operate with churches, encourage local photographers and artists, op erate a bulletin service, publicize nearby towns and sponsor ice and coal funds for the poor. The managing editors' executive committee named Tuesday selected Neil H. Swanson of the Baltimore Sun as chairman and picked Chl ago for the 1941 meeting place. The time will be set later. Other members of the executive committee Includes Cheney Cow les, Spokane Chronicle. Student Officers Are Holiday Hosts Mt. Angel The approaching holi day season was observed at Mt.

He made It clear at the outset that he did not wish to say any thing which might foster ill feel ing between Ireland and Britain His consistent aim, he said, has been to secure understanding and good will. But he made It equally clear that Ireland will not change her attitude about the bases, "It must be remembered," he said, "that these Irish ports had been held by Britain against the will of the Irish people. In giving them back Britain was only res toring to Ireland what was her own. It was an act of restitu tion ... "Tills question Is one which in volves our national sovereignty and our people's will. It also Is one which Involves the safety of our people. Courting No Danger You in the United States are 3000 miles away from Immediate bombing. If we handed over the ports to Britain we would thereby Involve ourselves directly in the war with all its consequences. ' "You have seen what happened to London, notwithstanding Its de fenses. Ireland is not a nation which can spend 10,000,000 pounds a day for armaments and If London Is suffering as It is, what would happen to Dublin, Cork and other Irish cities relatively unprotected? No doubt we have to face these dangers but no nation can be asked to court them. "I . can understand Britain's post' tion and If I could do anything to relieve the suffering of the British people I would do so. All our in' ternational . efforts, of .years .past have had as their principal purpose the saving of the peoples' of Europe from their present plight. "Our principal purpose now must be to save our people. We think of the world as a whole because we are part of it, but It is primar ily with the welfare of our own peo ple that the Irish government must concern Itself." I drew de Valera 's attention to press statements that It would be Just as feasible for Ireland to lease ports to Britain as it was for Brit ain to lease bases to the United States. Risk Too Great But there is no analogy at all," he replied. "In one case it is leas ing territory to a neutral. The other case It is leasing a neutral's terri tory to one belligerent to attack another. "There Is in this matter, of course, another difference between the United States and Ireland that should be noted. A great power like the United States is sufficiently strong if It became Involved in war to Influence the course of the Sprague to Talk On Labor Inventory Early completion of Oregon's skill ed labor Inventory as a vital step In the national defense program will be urged by Governor Sprague in a radio address over KOIN at 6:16 Fri day evening, November 22.

Moreover, a great power, even if It Is defeated, may retain its lib erty although It may lose some of Its possessions. But a small state like Ireland, If it Involves Itself In war, risks the loss of everything, even Its liberty. It should accord ingly avoid war If at all possible."
