BRITAIN'S POORLOG
PRESS IN SOUTH AMERICA
London, To-day.
Strong dissatisfaction with the manner in which British news is presented in South America, with! corresponding detrimental effects on British trade, was voiced at the meeting of the Associated British Chambers of Commerce at Manchester yesterday.
The subject was introduced with an array of facts and figures by Mr. C. S. Cruickshank, representing the British Chamber of Commerce in Brazil, who pointed out that Bri invested in South tish capital
less than. America amounts to no 21,000,000,000.
It was unnecessary, he declared, to dwell upon the vital need for Bri- expand her tam to preserve and
trade with South America.
National prestige was an import- ant factor in competition for con- tracts.
PRESTIGE SUFFERS
He regretted to say that British prestige in South America had suf- fered in recent years, and this was generally attributed to the manner in which affairs in foreign countries had been presented to readers the press.
by
in
British news was distributed South America almost entirely through foreign channels.
"There can be no doubt that Bri- tain has a poor press in South America-not because of any funda- mental bizs on the part of the peo- ple in the countries concerned, but because their newspapers are more or less forced to draw their from biased sources.
