The proposal to increase postal rates, Caspar Yost, president of the assoclation, sald, “presents a problem to the publisher which does not fall within the province of the editors’ or- ganization.” Opposes Zoning System. “If it is true,” he said, “that the right of freedom of the press is based upon the necessity for dissemination of information and opinion as the foundational element of popular gov- ernment, it should be self-evident that the distribution should be un- trammeled by arbitrary geographical limitations.” He added that he thought the ed- itors' organization might properly go on record as opposed to the zoning system as applied to second-class postal rates, whether high or low, for the reason that whatever the rate the system is antagonistic to the prin- ciples which underlie the freedom of the press, the preservation of which is essential to the national welfare. Turning to co-operation between press and the legal profession in crime-prevention work, Mr. Yost said “there is no more occasion for co- operation between the press and the bar than there is for regulation of the practices of the bar. There are abuses in both professions.” For Certain Co-Operation. He added, however, that there are possibilities of co-operation between the press and the bar in calling at- tention to the “deplorable prevalence of crime and the even more deplor- able failure of the agencies of justice to cope with it.” Inaccuracies and even falsehoods in medical stories in newspapers and the attitude of the press in giving almost unlimited space to the sensa- tional, although untrue, news of al- leged discoveries of cures for tuber- culosis and cancer were denounced by Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the You Heard Now We Have These Victor Records!

Dr. Fishbein said that five alleged cures for tuberculosis and as many for cancer have been annoumced in the public press during the last year and that there was not the slightest scientific evidence that any one of them is a specific treatment or cure of the disease concerned in anything even remotely resembling the degree to which diphtheria antitoxin is spe- cific for diphtheria “Of the five cures for tuberculosis, one was carbon dioxide gas such as used in soda water,” said Dr. Fish- bein, “one was the inhaling of a cer- tain amount of mixed soot and lime, one was a vaccine designed by a Swiss, one a vaccine designed by an Englishman, and then, there was Moellgaard's gold cure of only a few | days ago. It was a noble year for the poor consumptive, but there he lies just about as bad as before.” Dr. Fishbeln cited numerous in- stances of inaccuracies in the use by the press of scientific terms and phrases. “Miliary tuberculosis. fre. quently appears as ‘military’ tubercu- losis,” he said. “Cecci appears as cockeye, pectoris. pleura is used as plural and the astonishing statement is often made of some one dying from ‘plural pneumonia’ when pleura is meant.” Dr. Fishbein stated it is his belief that these errors are due in part to the speed of modern newspaper publi_ cation and in part to the fact that newspapers heve not available com- petent men to pass on medical ma- terial.
