The testimony gluu bc(ulo the Reed gating committee on the alleged f ments published in the Hearst tributing bribe-taking by four United Senators failed to establish the authentici the documents, did not connect any of the Sena- tors mentioned with the propaganda fund, and particularly did not cover Mr. Hearst with glory. He was one of the main witnesses and his tes- timony speaks volun Here is a part of it: Q. Did you investigate whether money had been actually paid to United States Senators? A. No, we didn’t. Q. Did you go to the Senators men- tioned and ask them? A. No, we couldn’'t without revealing the contents. Q. Have you any evidence that any Senator received any such mone as mgntioned here? No; in fact, I don’t believe they did receive any money Q. Have you ever heard of any e dence to sustain such a charge? No. I don't believe the charge. There was further questioning: Q. Did you consider the liabilities for the libel you might be subject to? A. Yes, I guess so. Q. You had that liability in mind when you did not use the names? Probably. In the face of such policy on the part of the publisher whose money had gone to buying docu- ments the genuineness of which was not estab- lished and the worth of which depended on the ‘word of a man admittpdly committing a theft for money, the vehemence with which Senator Norris, one of the four Senators named, denounced Mr. Hearst, is easily understood. Had Mr. Hearst believed his purchased papers to be true and later were proven false, he would have been guilty gross neglect for not having exhausted every within his power to substantiate the before giving them publicity. Yet here is | admission that the publisher did not believe was any truth in the charge of bribery, | nothing was done to determine the truth ty, and fiually, that the names of the men to be implicated were partially blotted investi- docu- at- States A.

The older m: where the v Mn[-)‘, has been exhausted are fading out of ure, but, whereas these older mills comparatively small ecapaci several old mills must be elim muul before capacity falls off enough to warrant mill. One man of newspr anthority has placed the minimum capacity of the economic newsprint mill of today at 400 tons. It takes no| ml‘ pre one of 40 and 50 or boards before one in taking its place. Some may point to the eighty per ceni. opera- tion representing heavy loss, as uneconomle. To these people it may be pointed out that some 100 new tons must modern by th justified | pa mill i necessary. The steel industry regards an eighty per cent. production as normal. Other industries regard as normal a production that runs 50 per cent, or even less of their full rated capacity. Consumption of the product is not something that is fixed like the postage rate on a letter. It has its fluctuations even as the flow in our rivers. To expect the newsprint industry to operate at 100 of rated capacity all of thef time is to hope not only for the impossible ideal, but also to withdraw from that industry any de- sirable flexibility. The publishers understand quite situation of the mills. This evidenced in the renewal of the 1928 newspri contracts for the same price as 1927. Certainly this is an indication that the publishers are not seking a ridiculously low price on paper based on suicidal competition among the mills, but are seeking to find some stability in the newsprint market. At $656 a ton the mills are in no serious straits, ac- cording to a statement by men prominently iden- tified with the newsprint industry, although the margin is small and another $5 per ton would help out materially. What the future has in store can only be pre- dicted, with one man's prediction as good as the next. About the only safe statement that can be made is that the war is still showing tremend- ous effects throughout the world, and untilsthat post-war effect is entirely eliminated no smooth and rosy road can be hoped for. well now the is Senator Cur gress “will pass hopes some nd expects that Con- reasonable farm relief measures that will meet with the approval of | President Coolidge.”” But, in that event, how could the McNary-Haugenites approve it?——(Buf- {falo Courier and BExpress.) 1f New York's 90 delegates go to Kansas City unpledged, the chances of unannounced candi- dates for nomination will be all the better.— (Philadelphia Bulletin.) will for Tele- know the reformers Congressional Record crime stuff.—(Macon First thing you be jumping on the [printing so much graph.)
