Socialists orgsn-are favorable to the
United States in the present war. The
forty-nine other papers take SPANS side.
This is not surprising. Nowhere else in
the world is there such . corrupt and
disreputable press as is found in Paris.
The revelations in the Panama scandal .
few years ago showed that . large part OF
the Paris journals had sold themselves TO
the wreckers. and most Of these had cold
themselves very cheaply. too.
At present these papers are largely in
fuencsd by the holders Of Spanish bonds,
. majority Of whom live in France. The
cowsrdioe and general and particular
moral rottenness Of nine-tenths Of the
Paris newspapers in pandering to the
prejudices and vindictiveness Of the mob
in the Drsyfus case are known TO the
world. Frances newspapers take SPANS
side. Nevertheless Spain will get no
help from Frances government.
