FoodHopperWaste Waste of feed from , hoppers is the most indefensible loss in poultry man- agement. Both the height of the feed hopper from the floor and the height of the feed in the hopper itself have a great bearing on the waste of feed. Low hoppers prevent the waste of feed because the birds have to stoop down to get the feed and are not in- clined to throw it about. Also what is 'spilled does not leave the hopper. Highhoppers encourage waste be- cause the birds, especially turkeys„ teindto play- with the feed. They pull .it out and 'play about and .the feed is wasted Feed in the hopper should never be higher than about two inch- es below the lip 0f the hopper. The lower the feed is kept in the trough.; the less tendency there is for;the birds to scatter it all over the place. (By O. H. Hale) 3 i;TICI.E IS THERE ANY THREAT TO THE ' FREEQQ:M QF.THE' PRESS? As has beisa): said already, the ob- ject of gathering together in London representative 'tournalists from" the four corners of the Empire at this. juncture was to make them acgnaint- ed with the conditions facing Great Britain, the heart of the Empire, at home and an the continent of Europe, This end it was sought to attain by two methods—first, by bringing' the visiting delegates into personal con- tact with the leaders • of political thought and action in 'the Mother country and, secondly, by having them see for.themselves the ravages wrought by Ithe war and the efforts that were 'being put, forth to grapple with the problems following . in its train and to restore British industry. The first objective was effectively re- alized by a series of addresses from public men during the Conference ses- sions in the first half.of June, supple- mented by private dinner parties . sa which the delegates had the oppor: :unity to have more intimate conver- sations with a wide circle of British public men. The study of industrial conditions and European problems w,;s attained by a ten-day tour of cme of Britain's chief manufacturing nd commercial` -metres, and by an- other ten days spent.. on. the continent under the auspices of the Army, Navy and Air Fords,: What is involved in the Freedom of the Press Naturally the journalists of the Em- pire had some problems of their own to discuss. Of these the most import- ant was the Freedom of the Press, as to which Premier Attlee, in his open- ing address at the Conference, declar- ed there was "no freedom more im- portant than this. Democracy," he averred," "flourishes in the sharp, clear air of controversy." Other speakers, however,:were not altogether satisfied' that there were no threats to that freedom, and warned that in this, as in other forms of freedom, eternal vig- ilance was necessary to its mainten- ance. A native journalist from Nig- eria, speaking in impeccable English, complained of certain limitations on press freedom in that British Colony, and an Indian_ delegate was, critical of some of the conditions in his country. The Rt. Hon. Brendan Bracken, who had been Minister -of Information in Mr. Churchill's National Government, N HANK You r waiting for delivery of your MOTORSCAR W GENERAL ;mum We are doing our best to see that you get your new car as quickly as possible a We -want to thank every one of our customers— and every prospective customer as well — for the friendly patience with which yorr' are awaiting, your new General Motors car, whether it be a Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick or Cadillac.. - Wet patience will be More' than rewarded when we hand -you the keys to one of these great new 'General Motors cars, for here, in -our judgment are automobiles ahead of• their time —far -and away the best in. each of their respective classes. , We know how difficult it is to wait even a day for a car of General Motors exceptionally fine quality; but • we believe you will understand that we and' General Motors areas 'eager fo deliver cars as purchasers are to -obtain them. ,Unfortunately, the --ears produced So far this year are far fewer than we and the. factory had counted 'on. General Motors headquarters at Oshawa sums up 'the .situationNthus: "Even though our rate of prodvction'normaliy. exceeds that of. any other manufacturer, we have been able to build, up to August 1, only a small percentage, of the number,of cars vie built up to that date in 1941. Our own produc- tion, like that of the industry in general, still far below normal, because of frequent shortages of essential materials and parts. Strike after strike at the plants of our suppliers has seriously impeded our progress toward "full production, and the cumulative effect severely hampers both manufacturing and assembly." While production is restricted, so — . in proportion— are shipments of cars to us. As production increases; we are assured of getting our proportionate share of the total number of cars from the factory: But we want you to know that as quickly as these car's are received, we will speed deliveries to our customers.

Pontiac Oldsmobile Buick Cadillac otors and 'who delivered a well balanced ad- dress en the subject, saw 'danger In the close relations `between, the Press and -official department" anxious to impress their views an the.: public,•and recommended the Press to keep "large. waste paper ha.skets for reoeiving'the verbiage with which the Governruent departments wrap up a .few meagre facts," He also contended that the freedom of the Press could not be complete while the newspapers were shut ,off trim securing for thenis.elves, through their own correspondent&, news of what was .going:on in .certain parts of the world...He referred, of course, to the iron.' curtain set up across the centre of Europe by Soviet Russia. . The discussion took on added sig- nificance when a few days, later the Rt. Hon. Herbert Morrison, President of the Council, who hart been a speak- er, at the Conference on another sub ject, announced that the Government was 'considering, an investigation` into the Britieh • Press and its,: centro.). There had "been assurances' that the freedom.. of the Press was an accept- ed doctrine of democracy- But it be- came clear' that the Labor 'Govern - meet, 'and more particularly the Left- ist wing of 'the Labor Party, are res- tive under the fact that that freedom has 'taken the form of almost univer- sal criticism of Government no;icy and action. Among the •London pap- ers, practically •. the only one that gives the Labor Government unquali- fied support is the Daily Herald, The Times, however, follows its tradition- al role of giving Government mea- sures sympathetic consideration. There is a disposition, shared in journals - tic circles, to consider the concentra- tion of newspapers into controlled groups as Contrary. to the public in- terest. Mr, Brendan Bracken, on. the other hand; apprehended the passing of papers from individual into corpor- ate and unknown ownership, because of the operation of the inheritance as a more serious menace. He advo- cated legislation requiring the .publi- cation of the names of holders of a newspaper's- stock. In this he had the support of the leader of the Cana- . han• delegations Mr. Rupert Davies. On the part of the journalists, ;t was recognized that the freedom -.-of --the press Is not a private 'privilege, but a public responsibility. Keen Demand For Canada's Newsprint. A. related question that caused the Canadian delegation some , embari•ass- naent was, the shortage of ne,wspri.nt, a subject that provoked considerable discussion. ',An' Indian delegate was particularly insistent that there shouldhe a -fairer dietri'htition of the available supply — chiefly found in Canada. Sir Keith Murdock admitted that the Australian newspapers would like more, but said that their first concern was for the British newspa- pers reduced to such- small proper tions by the lack of paper. The Bri- tish delegates were. silent. But, their papers pleaded eloquently for them. 'The London Times' prints ten pages daily, the London Telegraph six pag- es, and some of the large circulation - papers only four pages. But it must be said that th'e editors make good use of the space at their command. A glance through the London Tele- graph gives one the news of the day in a nutshell, while tfie Times man - ares to squeeze into its ten pages F.ra fuli parliamentary reports and expanded articles •from• overseas cor- respondents. It is said; however, that the British papers are making more money than. ever in the past, because the penny or twopence brings a profit in itself on their huge • circulations running into, millions in some cases,; whereas with papers of normal size eireulation is, a :liability that has to be carried by the advertising. The Canadiian section felt them- selves on an embarrasing defensive, as delegates fromother parts of the Empire rose to 'tell of their newspriet difficulties. Italia', for instance, was receiving only ten' thousand tons, whereas its papers' required thirty thousand tons. !n 'the case of Great' Britain, however, the primary, diff:= culty lies with the British Govern- ment, which declines' to release the sterling required for the purchase of another twos hundred thousand tons which the Canadian mills are prepay ed to supply : The Canadians further pointed out that Canadian newspa- pers were using only six per cent of Canadian production, while 85 per cent was going to the United States, and could not be diverted without causing international complications. Nevertheless the Canadians ' were made to realize that newsprint is'to :their •fellow publishers what bread is to the housewife, and to feel that they were living in luxury while their. fel- ' low ,journalists starved for this essen- tial material. In the' end, a resolution 'was- passed referring the newsprint situation to the attention of .the Coun- cil of the Unioti, ' "with a view to co- ordination --of efforts to secure ade- quite and equitable supply and'distri bution among the newspapers of. the British Empire.", It was .generally re- alized however, that the Connell can't do much about it, and that 'the news- print problem will have to.work itself out as the •supply -grows to meet the demand.

He referred to the fur- ther possibility of delivering newspa- pers by air. freight.' Already the Lon- don Times, so often a pioneer in newspaper progress, is producing an air mail edition on thin paper, for de- livery on this side of the Atlantic.

The Principles Underlying Freedom of the Press The Empire Press Union's idea of the principles underlying the freedom of the Press were embodied in the following resolution; which, under the circumstances has special interest: "Having ,surveyed the position of the craft of journalism in the British Empire on the morrow Of victory in the second world war, the Sixth' Im- perial Press Conference declares a- fresh its belief in Certainabiding principles governing the public ser- vice of journalists, and, draws there- from certain practical -consequences which it holds' to be of special urg- ency at this present time. , "The Conference resolves: "(1) Freedom of thought and ex- pression is the right of all the peo- ples of the British Commonwealth and "(2) The Press is a. principal instru- ment for the people's exercise of this right and on their behalf is therefore entitled to all the liberaties necessary for the discharge of its duties. "(3) The first" "duty of the. Tress is to lay before the ,people a prompt, KEATING'S DRUG: STo,RE • accurate and full record of paaeiaig events throughout the world, and, for the performance of thin} duty the Con- Terence claims for the Weds the free - est access to all materials and Plea* of production,-. in order that newepa- Pers may freely compete in the var- ied and copious presentation of the news. "(4) The Conference further;•` de- plores a practice which has recently came to prevail in certain depart - meets of state in the"`United King- dom whereby access to the higher 'of- ficials is largely confined to small groups of privileged journalists re- presenting the home Press, and urges all..rpinisterls of this Government that, when they communicate intelligence ' to the Press of 'Great Britain they shall take care that equalafacilities are extended to the'Press of the Em- pire overseas. - '"(5) .T.he Conference acknowledges no right. of Governments to, forbid the publication of'news save only for rea- sons of military security in time of war. "(6) The Conference recalls, never- theless, that 'during the war lately ended, news transmitted overseas suf., fered interference from' --censor.,:., oft grounds of political expediency; and having noted that directors of the censorship have since condemned this practice as more harmful to the Bri- tish cause than absolute freedom. calls ' upon all the Governments of the British Commonwealth to give a, public assurance that it shall never be_ revived. "(7)•The second. duty of the press is'to maintain,. active and constructive criticism, of events, persons, policies and ideas, presenting its argument ithout ` fear or ' favbr, „yet always With•fairness and a sense of responsi- bility for the public welfaen (8) This Conference urges 'mem- bers to have a care lest by any of • - ficial pressure Dr obstruction the func- tion of criticism be hampered or con- fined; in particular, Iest, under color of protecting private interests or re- putations, discussion• of public .inter- .- ests be improperly restraied." • 1 . ;.{l =�='LATEST WORKOUTS ....THUNDERING HOOFS You'll 'enjoy the :Full and complete racing news in The Globe and Mail ... all the -dope, right from the `-bat bin" of every major track on the continent.
