WARTIME NEGOTIATIONS

Guiding the western dcstlniesh was Mr. Macklinz Mr. Slack, who; had succeeded Mr, Maclfay as, president of Canadian Press Lim-; lted. was the East's chief protag- onist.

Storming negotiations through t9l4, 1915 and 1916 brought no solution. The war increased de mands for news coverage and the financial train finally led the pub- llshers to approach Sir Robert Borden's government to assume the cost of a news telegraph line from Ottawa to Winnipeg.

Cost of this wire, which would transmit Canadian Press Limited dispatches on a 24-hours-a-day basis, was estimated at 332,375. The government responded with s 350.000 grant that not only bridged the gap to Winnipeg but financed leased wires from Cal- gary to Vancouver and from Montreal to Saint John.

Canadian Press Limited became truly national Sept. 1, 1917, and on the following day its wires from Atlantic to Pacific were opened.

Western Associated Press and the various eastern organizations ceased to function. Mr. Knowles was appointed general manager. with headquarters in Toronto. and Mr. Livesay. who succeeded him three years later. became assist- ant general manager. with head- quarters in Winnipeg.

Mr. Slack remained president. UNPOPULAR sUr-SIDY

The federal subsidy. never widely welcomed. was always a sore spot since it carried the threat. though never the action, of government interference in the handling of news. There was no regret when Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King announced in 1023 that the subsidy would not be re- newed the following year.

Canadian Press Limited was re- lncorporated in March. 1923, by special act of parliament an a non-profit-making co-operative. Its corporate namc was changed to The Canadian Press. share- holders were paid all; shares. were cancelled and ii certificate of membership was issued to each member.

The period 19171923 had been one of clashes or personality of differences. dissensions and fans- ily quarrels, but with the end of the subsidy and a decision of the membe alily never again to ac- cept one there was harmony of purpose and action.

The years have. removed all but it handful or CP's founding fathers from the scene. Of the oflllnal WAP founders. only Mr. Nichols remains.

Now in mtircm-:nt in Van- couver. Mr. Nichols became his- forian of CP and in 1948 his book. The Story of The Canadian Preaa. was published. The liifonnatlon for this glimpse Into the put come from his research. DISTINGUISHED RECORD
