SERVICE OF JOURNALISM
COMBATTING THE “TIME LAG’’ LONDON, May 8. “The greatest service journalism renders the public is to provide it with a mind,” declared Mr Bernard Shaw at the Institute of Journalists’ Inncheon. “We arc suffering because people have a terrible 4 time lag.’ The duty of journalists is to abolish it and make people understand that the world is continually changing,’’ he said. “It is no uso trading on ideas which are obsolete before they are born. We have not yet realised that the Russian revolution has come to stay, and consequently we have lost a magnificent commercial chance. A great trade if being built up in Russia without capital and machinery. Do not start a 4 time lag’ about the Austro-Ge.rman customs union. They are bound to unite nationally.”
