LEAGUE PUBLICITY
MR RAMSAY MACDONALD ATTACKS PRESS ONLY ROWS OR “MARK ANTONY” SPEECHES PRINTED ADVERTISER FILLS UP SPACE (United Press Assn.—Copyright,) (Received Jan. 14, 8.35 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 14. “We know au about the troubles and failures of the League of Nations, but next to nothing of its normal work”, writes Mr Ramsay AfacDonald in the “Spectator” with reference to a suggestion by Mr Murray Allison that the League’s ■i'k should be given organised publicity. AH MacDonald proceeds: “Unless there is a row or a ‘Mark Antony’ speech, the 'newspapers reject Geneva news. It is deplorable, but it is i fact. On the other hand, the advertiser can carry the fullest facts in the most attractive form to" fill up the tragio blanks of the news columns. The sum required for publicity might be distributed over the army, navy and air force estimates. • G would be more effective in the long run for our defence than their arms, while to make them remove • need for their own existence would be both good humor and good business.”—A. and N.Z.C.A.
