THURSDAY, ArKh. de, zr GRIEVANCES TO BE HEARD, SYS POSTAL CHIE Postmaster General Admits Faults of Department and Declares Service Blots Will Be Erased NEW YORK, April 28.—Postmaster General Hays, iri an address today at the annual luncheon of the Ameri. can Newspaper Publishers’ associa- tion, outlined the attitude of his de- ‘partment toward the press, “These are two things in connection with our relations which I would state and re-emphasize; first, it is no part of the primary business of the post- office department to act as a censor of the press. This should not and will not be. “Second, we are going to get along together and do the right thing in all of these matters of classification, rates, etc., and I want it distinctly un- derstood there will never be any oc- casion when a publisher with any kind of a griievance is not thrice welesme to sit down with the head of the de- partment and work it out.’ He promised to give the question of second class mails his closest atten- tion, saying that the one unpardon- able sin of the postoffice is not to deliver the daily newspaper on time. “The newspaper is pre-eminently a thing which a man wants when he wants it, and if he can’t have it when he wants it, he doesn’t want it at all," he said. ‘‘We all know that the news- Papers go to press on time, that they get off the press on time, that they are deliveied to the postoffice on time, and that therefore, if they don’t reach their subscribers on time the fault lies not with the publishers, but with the postoffice department. “There's no use dodging when the dodging isn't good.” Mr. Hays brought a personal mes- sage from President Harding. The President told him yesterday, he said, to tell the publishers: ‘We expect your help in bringing this republic and its varied interests into the straight for- ward ‘track again.’ Mr. Hays told the publishers he was fetermined to put the entire postal service upon a purely business basis “so serviceable and sound that no Political party will ever again dare at- tempt to ignore or evade it ulti- ” HARDING VIEWS FLEET'S RETURN (Continued from Page 1.) the cruise Fron Guantanamo with the fleet. Following the Pennsylvania came the battleships OkJehoma, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Florida, Delaware, North Dakota, Michigan, South Caro- Ung-and Connecticut, the Utah flying the flag of Vice Admiral H. P. Jones, commanding the battleship force. ier behind the battleships was the tex Black Hawk leading three di- visions of six destroyers each and 13 submarines of the O and K classes. They were followed by a number of mine force vessels and ships of the supply train, headed by the cruiser Columbia, flagship of the train. On the submarines a little group of men on the decks almost awash stood rigidly at attention as the submersi- bles slipped by the reviewing party. The review occupied a little less than an hour and a half. The last of the long time past, the Mayflower lifted anchor and headed out across the roadstead to put the president aboard the Pennsylvania, where the officers of the fleet had gathered for @ reception. PENNSYLVANIA LEADS ARMADA, ABOARD PRESIDENTIAL YACHT MAYFLOWER, OFF HAMPTON ROADS, April 28—(By Wireless.) — ‘The day was cold and gray with an overcast sky and low hanging clouds, as the hour approached today for the Presidential review of the Atlantic di- vision of the American fleet. Abeut the Mayflower played dirig- ibles and seaplanes, flying low to es- cape the low drifting clouds. Shortly before 9 o'clock, Secretary of the Navy Denby boarded the May- fidwer and greeted President and Mrs. Harding, who then took the bridge. At 9 o'clock the great battleship Pennsylvania appeared out of the haze. She was followed at 500-yard ‘intervals by the other members of the armada. She approached the Mayflower and, about a,mile away, wheeled smartly and passed in review off the port side.
