_ Newspaper House Cleaning

It is well known i11 journalistic circlcs in Canada that Iht: monopoliziiig of newspapers by syndicates and chain organizations is 011 the in- crease. 'l‘hcre are certain great advantages from a business point of view of such chains in the reduction 0f the cost of production and the centralizing of administration. On the other hand, there are grave disadvantages, especially in the tendency of monopoly, with the effect it might have on the control of the freedom of the press.

A similar question has greatly agitated jour- nalists and other public spirited citizens in Brit- ain for a number of years, and now with the amalgamation of the Institute of Journalists and the National Union of journalists, it has come to a head at the last annual meeting of the latter body i11 Liverpool this week.

According to Reuters report a resolution was adopted calling for the appointment of a. Royal Commission to inquire into the British newspaper industry and its control and financ- ing. Seconding the resolution, Mr. Preston Benson, representing the central London branch of the N. U. 1., declared: “If food was as adult- erated and contaminated as news is adulterated and contaminated there would be a public out- cry from one end of the country to the other," which, however is far from the actual truth so far as reputable newspapers like The Tinm, The Alanchester Guardian, The Scotsman and the Glasgow Herold are concerned. The resolution recommended that the commission should in- quire specifically into the ownership, control and finance of national (London and provincial) newspapers, news agencies and periodicals; the extent to which growth of powerful chains of newspapers was creating a monopoly of owner- lhip; the ability pf independent newspapers and periodicals t0 withstand increased competition from syndicates; ‘the influence of financial and advertising interests on the presentation

It in in the interest of the small, independent news- papers that their field should be protected from the unfair invasion. of newspaper plutocrats.

.Rural Beautification

Details of the Prince Edward Island Rural Beautification Contest are announced in the press, and should be studied carefully by all concerned. This is the first contest of its kind to be held in this Province, and the promoter, Col. E. W. jolinstone, is to be congratulated upon his success in arousing so much public in- teresl. , '

As stated in the advertisement, the points in the contest are scored on painting, white- washing and repairs made to farm buildings; on planting of trees, hedges, shrubs, etc., on re- moval of irreparable buildings, dead trees, rub- bish and weeds, on tidiness, lawns and fences around buildings, on flowers, and on general improvement ‘in appcarance of the farm build- ings. The contest is open to anyone living out- side the city or tow11 limits, an entry of 50 cents being all that is required. to be mailed i11 to the

In a foreword Dr. Miller says truly that

|the records set forth iu this volume are enough

,to challenge the imagination. The official lisrs Zof numbers killed and wounded are a tragic‘ ‘

‘ commentary on civilization? more than 20,000,000 casualties; 30,009,000 more men, women and children driven from their homes; 10,000,000

‘more massacred; hundreds of homes left in ruins. The destruction devastation. and econ-

great wealth of the world, with its resources, in- dustrial power, and man power, has been con- centrated on destruction. Nations have accumu- lated an indebtedness which far exceeds all the money in the world. The responsibility for ‘meeting this obligation is placed upon future i gencratiOns to carry the burden. . l This is the price we have paid for human freedom. The amount of money consumed in Ithe war would be sufficient to build a home for levcry family in the world, or to give an educa- liion to every child on earth. It is far greater 'ihan all the moneys ever expended for schools, churches, and hospitals since the beginning of the human race.

Emphasis is placed in this history on the causes which created this human tragedy, with sketches of the leading personalities and back- grounds of the nations involved. The work was begun during the war, official communiques from all part5 of the world being analyzed each day, with reports and proclamations issued by all the governments. As each event was of- ficially confirmed, it was transcribed into his- torical narrative for the book and oo-ordinatod by the historian-general. When one recalls that Canada's official history of World War I has not yet been completed, the speed with which this huge volume was prepared and put through the press is truly remarkable. Doubtless it will be succeeded by more elaborate and detailed works, but the general reader will find a super- abundance of material in the I02 chapters com- prising this monumental narrative.
