Some of the are salutary, but not all of them. a broadcast of Mr. Morris Ernst, that pernetual il- luminator of journalistic shortcomings. Mr. Ernst, by way of example, chided newspapers for ignoring recent monopoly hearings. Mr. Ernst strongly implied, in a radio broadcast, that he considered these hearings the racst significant news of the time. History may be may not vindicate his judgment. Meanwhile, however, Mr. Ernst is censuring the press for an alleged fail- ure to use his yardstick, as if his yardstick were historically true. | There are many factors which influence the de- | cision as to what events are covered and what news appears in the papers.

Facts appear to be facts only because a majority of the people accepts them as such. In the last analysis, then, the failings of the press are mainly human failings.
