McKim, Ltd., Toronto, declared recently in an address to the Ontario -Quebec Circulation Managers' Association in the Royal Cannaught, Hotel The greatest duty of a newspaper was to tell the truth, and in the recent world crisis the newspapers "certainly came through," he. said. Speaking of the part playedby. newspapers in the critical' weeks when world war appeared imminent, Major Baxter told his hearers that news- paper editorials were calm, level- headed, courageous and British. On the other hand, he said, he could not enthuse as much over the manner in which the situation was handled by radio. "I think it will be a long time be- fore radio from the broadcasting end will receive the editorial directionof the modern newspaper," said the speaker. Major Baxter scored the type of ,radio broadcast which alarmed the people. Newspapers informed, radio incited, he asserted. Referring • to Canada's position when war was threatened, Major Baxter said politicians "let us down". spokenfor a united front. He label- led the Ottawa Government an "aim- less one", and declared there were too many Charlie McCarthys in pub- lic life. FOOTBALL!
