’QUAKE PHOTOGRAPHS
ARE THEY HARMFUL? At the meeting of the Mayor’s Earthquake Relief Fund Committee yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. S. Wilson remarked on the continued appearance of earthquake photographs Jn the illustrated papers. “These go to all parts of the world,” said Mr. Wilson, “and it is no wonder that there are distorted views of the calamity in newspap, ers abroad. I think those photographs are most damaging to the afflicted districts, and I was wondering if a word from you, sir, might not have a good effect in stopping the practice.” “I’m afraid,” said the Mayor (Mn. G. A. Troup) smiling, “that it would take more than the Mayor to control the Press. As long r there is any interest In the earthquake area they will publish photographs. You can't prevent that sort of thing!”
