To the Editor of the "Nortu-Cutwa Dary News"
Sin—The local press of late has been subject to "Sensationalism" and the printing of statements that have not in them the least. vestige of accuracy. Is this done merely to increase circulation, and, at the same time, to exploit the credulity of the public, or is it done purely through the belief that the news -is accurate?
The penchant for insiduously extorting money from a news-hungry populace is out of place at a time when so little can release the pent-up passion of the highly-strung Chi nese.
The Chinese press. unless curbed of their sensational reports, can do much to undermine the morale of the Chinese. Now that patriotism has Leen instilled in every true Chinese, the result is quite plain when their hopes, raised sky-high by inaccurate news reports come tumbling down n the truth is made known. That Coes not show true patriotism on their part in this time of stress.
