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.

aln naval bases on the south and
west coast of Ireland which Britain
restored to Ireland In 1938.
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

Moreover, a great power, even
if It Is defeated, may retain its lib

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
