PRESS CHIEF TELLS OE NEWS ABROAD C. S. Smith Describes For eign Service to Hazelton, Pa., Club. R.r the Antoeialed Prrsr. HAZLETON. Pa., June s.—Charles : Stephenson Smith, chief of the for j eign service of the Associated Press, | addressed the newspaper day luncheon j of the Khvanis Club today on foreign j news. He laid special emphasis upon i the value to the American public, and people all over the world, of news which merely tells facts and is not colored I with the opinions of reporters or ed | itors who may be under the influence j of political pr financial groups or other i interests. Mr. Smith said simple facts, simply ! told, are a much better diet for a j searcher after truth than thunderous i opinions, laboriously delivered. “Opin j ions," he said, "are not necessarily an ’ achievement. And. after all, we like ! our own opinions better than the other : fellow s." Paying marked respect to Melville E. i Stone and his associates in the creation i of the Associated Press 35 years ago, i Mr. Smith said these builders acted on the belief that readers are capable of i doing their own thinking and drawing their own conclusions from facts pre sented without bias or prejudice. They also believed that news should not be a commodity sold tor profit in the open market, but should be gathered co operatively by newspapers of all polit ical and religious beliefs, and protected against the manipulations of any indi udual or group of individuals. Mr. Stone's pioneer work in creating a sustained foreign service, the first real foreign service the United States ever had. was reviewed by the speaker. Through agreements with the leading news agencies of the world the Asso ciated Press has access to their reports. Trained American correspondents in all important foreign countries prepare news reports for the United States, and the foreign agencies in turn have cor respondents in the Associated. Press headquarters in New York who prepare American news for their various coun- I tries, thus facilitating a regular and systematic international exchange of news, which has done much to better the understanding between nations and to clarify international relations.
