The Imperial Conference

The prest-urt- of fc])rt‘>1:‘l1[t1li\'CS of all British Domimtms in Lotidiin makes it obviously con- vcuicnt, says :1 CUllltlllpOiﬂTy, t0 open the new Imperial (‘tmft-rcncc on May 14, two days af- tcr Coronation. lint it is not without signific- ance that the first great ptllllic event after the crowning of the lung should be an Empire meeting to discuss the mutual affairs of the whole CttiiilllOlI\\‘t‘flllll.

Tihat foreign affairs and dcicnse should stand first on the agenda is natural. How does the Empire as a whole stand in its relation to far- eign countries? To what extent does it repre- st-nt an organized system of mutual security, and in defense of what? Does Britain stand alone iii respect of European affairs, and only

‘U. S. A. Farmers Smiliiig

Down in Oklahoma the farmers have the broadest of broad smiles 0f years. The heaviest‘ rainfall in eleven months soaked into thirsty Southwestern soil, giving thousands of drought- llfiraﬁscd farmers high hopes of harvesting the biggest crops since 1931. The rain, varying up t0 four inches, was heaviest in Oklahoma, btit reports 0f adequate moisture in many other sec- ‘non aroused agricultural experts to forecast a

normal crop year.“ Mr- K. D. Blood, Federal crop statistician, predicted that Oklahoma far- mers would harvest a "normal" wheat crop in every section excrmt the panhandle. “The wheat crop planted last fccemlier has enough rain now to swing it through t0 harvest," he said. “The government forecast April ,1 indicated a wheat crop of 46,000,000 bitshcls. 20,000,000 over last year.

The problem, then, of a united Empire policy, thank, to the give-antl-tnke s0 well understood, may almost l».- said to solve itseﬁ But what of the provisions for security to maintain those common objects? It is clear that at the present time Great Britain is carrying the giant's part 0i the burtlcn of military expenditure; and that, it may seem, is not unnatural in view of the fact that the dangers against which provision is being made lie in Europe. Yet it has to be re- cognized also that the security of Great Britain is of more than passing interest to the rest 0f the l:ji..pirc.

T his its, cct of the problem cannot be isolat- ed from the others. It is bound up with cer- tain constitutional questions which have to be considered-for example, questions of citizen- ship—the status that citizenship of one c0t1n- tr},- in the Empire confers throughout the Em- i 1c.

Was The Press Justiﬁéd ?

Canadian Printer 511d Publisher gave the views of a num- ber of astu newspaper edlwrs in regard to the silence malnta-ued by British and Canadian newspI-P‘ era during the events leading up to ttie abdication of K1118 Edwin! VIII. They gave their opinions on the question alter readlnl "w article by Beverley Baxter 1n lbs Flebruary issue. The ecllwrs, respec- tively, of the wmiuiws Tribune and the Charlottetown Guardian differ, and are given herewith. Mr. Baxter held the view that suprea- sloii of the news was a blunder. Edltor MacTavlsh of the Wlnnl Tribune, whlle favoring publlcaton of the news, behaves that It would not have had any influence 1n helpmg people to come to a. cor- rect decision ln the matter. On the other hand, Editor Burnett of the Charlottetown Guardian takes tlio view the crisis passed with the least possible embarrasement and that the wisest course was followed.

1W. L. MaioTavish, Vice-President and Edltor-ln-chlef, The Wlunlpel ' Tribune

The Winnipeg Tribune was, I believe, the first “ewﬁliﬂ-Pﬂra 1n Canada to open up 1n articles and news pictures the relationship between Edward VIII and Mn. Wallis Simpson. Months before the abdication we pulbllahed a. series 0f articles obtained 1mm the North American NBWSPI-Der Alliance tel- ling the story or their friendship and companionship. and published also a number of pictures relating thereto.

Wehadhod prevlouslymz Isuppose most other Canadian newspapers had had. much other material from American smimes. Most of 1t was rather nasty 1n tone, insinuat- ing much and substantiating noth- ing. The articles we published wen of different nature, light and pleas- ant ln tone, representing the affair really as a quiet comradestilp. They nevertheless did enable our read- ers’ minds to grasp the significance of Mr. Simpson's divorce proceed- lugs.

were our readers 1n consequ- ence any less shocked and astound- ed at the rapid development. of the ultimate tragedy? They were not! Nor did they find it any easier as the day of decision approached. to determine in their own minds which course was right and which was wrong.

m. Baxter, an able Journalist. 1B in London, on the spot. He has means of sensing, as every news- paperman must, the reaction of the people of his community. I hesit- ate, of coinase, to disagree with his conclusions as to the reactions of’ the people at the heart ot the Em- pire. But. let me say this, that from my experience here as I have related 1t, I doubt. 11' the sentutierir or the people or the development of the abdication crisis itself would have been 1n any way different if the London newspapers nod chronicled every movement of the former king and Mrs. Simpson from the moment they met. The crisis might have come n. ‘lttle sooner. I believe that la the only difference.

The prestige 0f the British press was somewhat. impaired by the course ti‘. adopted-adopted as Mi- Baxter says out of a sense of loyalty. I doubt t1’ l1: contributed the slightest degree either to the development o! the crisis or the ultimate decision.

J. R. Bumett, Editor and Mann:- lng Director. The Charlottetown Guardian

Wh’le.the primary purpose of a. newspaper here and elsewhere ls to give news, the distinctive stand- ard of the British press is to give reliable news, news free from any propagandist twlstlngs, or un- healthy exaggeration. with one or two unfortunate exceptions it is the aim o1’ British and Imperial joumiillzts t0 keep their columns c‘e1m and healthy. “The garbage 01' the gutter," in the words of Sir Robert Bruce, "should be left to the cleaning authorities, not laid out for sale. Nor should it be the business of a newspaper to invade the prlvacles of life." This is ap- plicable to the peasant as well as the peer, and nowhere are family skeletons more securely safeguard ed from public gaze than tn the British and Imperial newspapers. The royal family's skeleton was no exception, and 1t ls to the Highest credit. of Bﬂiiiﬁh and Imperial journalism that notwlthsta-ndlnﬂ great temptations to act otherwise, the editors. almost without ex- ception, voluntarily refrained from paratfng King Edward's domestic troubles 1n their newspaper columns, so long as there was l scmtliln. o1’ hope that the differ- ence between Hts Majesty and his advisers could be amicably adjusted. When it was realized that it was the unalterable deter- mination 0t‘ the King to pursue his own course. the flootltlde of publicity burst upon the country, but even then little was sold or done to mBke the slvuatlon more difficult for the King or his iulvts- ers.
