PRESS COMPETITION PROTECTS PUBLIC
"Competition among newspapers can best protect the public against unscrupulous journalism," was the declaration made today by Louis Wiley, business manager of the New York Times, in answering before the National Newspaper Conference conducted by the University of Kansas, the state university, "is not so confident the press for its social and civil welfare that newspapers ought to be dealt with as public utilities."
Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, editor Los Angeles Times, in his paper took a vigorous negative stand on this query, as well as on that referring to a proposed licensing of newspaper men.
"Show an intelligent citizen one instance where newspaper A has published a thoroughly truthful account of an event. Mr. Wiley excels in the newspaper colored or invented information, and you prejudice that reader strongly in favor of newspaper A. Let it be known that newspaper A rejects many columns of advertising found, upon investigation by the newspaper, to be misleading or fraudulent, and you create public dissatisfaction with their advertisements, worth an incalculable sum to advertiser and publisher.
"Even if a publisher's action be inspired soley by his self-interest, granting he recognizes no other obligation in conducting his business than the obligation to make it pay, competition will finally justify scrupulous, competent writers and honest advertising men."
General Otis, in his paper, declared that newspapers should not be regulated by law any further than to be required to obey the law, respect the courts and reverence the constitution.
"No, decidedly no!" was Genera Otis' answer to the question. "Is the proposed legislation to license newspaper men desirable or practicable?" he asked, up a newspaper class," he pointed out, "to establish a newspaper oligarchy; an attempt to do the impossible and the undesirable. All citizens, and even some who are not citizens, must be left free to 'break into' the newspaper business, and fill in the gaps where their respective abilities, or lack of the same, their good or bad motives, and their power to impress, to
