I Want To Talk To A Nation,

A Journalist Is The Lookout On The Bridge Of The Ship Of State. He Notes The Passing Sail, The Little Things Of Interest That Dot The Horizon In Fine Weather. He Reports The Drifting Castaway Whom The Ship Can Save. He Peers Through Fog And Storm To Give Warning Of Dangers Ahead. He Is Not Thinking Of His Wages Or Of The Profits Of His Owners. He Is There To Watch Over The Safety And The Welfare Of The People Who Trust Him.

What A Newspaper Needs In Its News, In Its Headlines, And On Its Editorial Page Is Terseness, Humor, Descriptive Power, Satire, Originality, Good Literary Style, Clever Condensation And Accuracy, Accuracy, Accuracy.

Publicity, Publicity, Publicity Is The Greatest Moral Factor And Force In Our Public Life.

The Power To Mould The Future Of The Republic Will Be In The Hands Of The Journalists Of Future Generations.

Our Republic And Its Press Will Rise And Fall Together.
