N By _the Associated Press. 4 o Oanadian EDINBURG, Scotland, June 21.—The | Imperfal Press Conference today opened discussion of the most vital item on its_agenda—creation of a better and more effective news link for the Brit- ish commonwealth of nations. E. Norman Smith of the Ottawa, Ontario, Journal, submitted the ques- tion in a resolution calling for ap- pro by the conference "of “the II‘£:1 of mutual and co-operative te) nge of cable news between the lu%:mmc parts of the empire.” i Tesolution urged careful consid- | gration of the question of a British | .nme organization operated and con- | trol solely by the riewspapers of. the | empire—an organization free _from Propaganda, untrammeled by ary out- side influence and unsubsidized. Subsidized at Start. ‘The publisher traced the development k Mgllnldn of an accurate and im- | news service - through , the Oanadian Pregs, the Dominion's’ co- operative news gathering and distribut- ing association. For the first few years the Canadian Press had received a sub- #idy of $50,000 a year from the Domin- government to enable it to bridge three gaps of Canada—St. John, New Brunswick, to Montreal, Quebec; Ot- tawa, Ontario, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Calgary, Alberta, to Vancouver, British Columbla—and link the Domin. fon with news wires from coast tol 3 became irksome,” he averred, s felt ourselves getting restless under this subsidy. There was suspicion @mong our general membership; there Was suspicion among the general public, The subsidy was dropped. The Press was faced with the task of raising an addjtional $50,000. There Was an extraordinary response from the ¥hole of its membership—a response that the membership must take over this $50,000 and that never agein would mm'l:ndohe.:xh organization have g Wwith government . sub- sidies,” he said. 7 Result Was Startling. ‘The result was “simply startling,” Mr. Norman Smith procesded.
