A recent issue of Business Week presents a detailed survey of how United States newspapers ovei'-Jahor news. It finds that, contrary to popular uflfttf, "there is really a considerable amount of "onesl, impartial coverage of labor news in the American press." In many cases, however, the news-:iien "are handicapped in their efforts to ijive a fair iind balanced account. i The survey mentions one hazard familiar to all reporters on the labor beat: In a controversial situation they usually have no trouble in getting- the story from the union. But when they approach the tunploycr, all they get is "no comment." Then, when ih&.-story appears, the employer makes a heated report about it being "all from the union's CANADIANS iConlinuet' from page 11 'of outright European 'union.

' business men and executives consider it SOME t either a waste of time or beneath their dignity do their own typing. Others, when they find work 3o be done in the way they want, get at the job and do it themselves, being primarily interested in getting the work done right. j Consider the case of Hon. T. C. (Tommy) Davis, G.E.

Indeed I have often suspected that the strange enthusiasm of .some Americans for the U.S. of Europe idea was because they KNEW that such a development would mean the break-up of the British Commonwealth. We recently had a noted U.S. figure tell Canada that we were "crazy" not to join the U.S.A.

The ambassador has been pressed into duty as a makeshift' stenographer for two reasons. : One is that the embassy, with only himself and two other Canadians of diplomatic rank on its staff, has had its work sharply increased due to the negotiations and discussions arising from the arrival of the 27th Brigade in Germany. The other is a temporary shortage of stenographers. Because of holidays, sickness and other reasons, the number of stenographers available at one time was nil and someone had to do the typing.
