ADVICE TO JOURNALISTS.

ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC. By Telegraph—Press Affiociation—Copyright "Times"—Sydney "Sun" Special Cables. (Kec. December 16, 5.40 p.m.) London, December 15. Mr. Page, tho United States Ambassador at London, in a brilliant and wellieasoncd speech, delivered before tho members or tho Institute of Journalists at tho Institute's dinner, urged British and American journalists to visit each other's countries every two years, in order to obtain some idea of other people's ways of doing things. A British journalist should write a leader on something American, take it across the At- ' lantlc, and then sec'■ whatia fool'lic had mado of himself. He proposed, when England and America celebrated their Inmdred years of peace, that a number of responsible and teachable journalists should go to the United States, stay there sonic time, and gain insido knowledge of American newspapers, and tell them why they were mis-mado, frankly helping them to understand tho spirit of civilisation of England. Ho hoped, on tho other hand, that a similar thing would be brought about from America.
