JOURNALISM.
IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA.'
SPEECH BY AMERICAN AMBASSADOR.
Received Last Night, 5.20 o clock.) LONDON, December 16.
Mr Walter H. Page, American A mbassador, in a brilliant and wellreasoned speech at the Institute of Journalists' dinner, ■ urged British and American journalists to visit other countries, every'two years, to obtain an idea of other people's ways of doing things. A journalist should write a leader on something .American,, take it across the Atlantic, and then see the fool he had nade of himself. He proposed that when England and America celebrated the Peace Centenary, a number of responsible and . teachable journalists should go to the United States, stay some time to gain an inside knowledge of American newspapers,. and tell them why they were mismade, and frankly help the*n to understand the spirit of civilisation of England. He hoped a similar thing would be brought about from America.
