20 MARINE RE VIE W. October, 1924 Pledged to Make an Organ of Free Public Opinion A. B. P. Standard No. 3 ‘To eliminate, in so far as possible, his personal opinions from his news columns, but to be a leader of thought in his editorial columns, and to make his criticisms constructive.”’ HE publisher of this paper together with other members of the A.B.P., Inc., has subscribed to this Standard. He has subscribed to nine other standards also, covering every de- partment of business paper practice. Business papers of the class of POWER BOATING, do not just happen. They must be built upon a solid founda- tion of correct principles, and operated with skill, with intelli- gence, and with the interests of the field as a whole as the main objective. We do not believe that a publication which is a personal propaganda sheet, or which is forced to function within the narrow limitations of one man’s ideas and prejudices, can attain to the stature demanded by the progressive business and professional men of the country. : In any event there is no place for such a paper within the ranks of The Associated Business Papers, Inc. Our type of publisher must be open minded, quickly responsive to every need of his field, and faithfully report the news without bias. He should not hesitate fearlessly to attack evils, and he should be just as ready to support every beneficial movement. He will not be content to merely reflect opinion, but he will have the capacity to crystallize and lead opinion in the right direction. In short, Standard No. 3 means that the A.B.P. publisher must be the highest type of public servant—and he is. THE ASSOCIATED BUSINESS PAPERS, Inc. JESSE H.
