New-York tribune., 1917-06-28

But worse than anything else was the
confusion about what to say. The loan
committee in New York was for giving
out the news of big subscriptions, and
did it over the protest of the people at
Washington. The Treasury Depart
ment, by its first foolish enthusiasm,
had almost made the country believe
that the bonds were flying out of the
window. Then it rushed to the other
extreme, and wished to create the idea
that the loan was in danger of failing
for want of popular support. More
than once during the campaign the
newspapers late at night were torn on
the three horns of dilemma a-that is,
whether to give the news the slant pre-
ferred by Washington or TO take it as
/ the New York committee gave il out, or
TO refuse at last to entertain sugges-
tions from any source as to how it
should present the truth.
/ The publicity that resulted was ef
fective, in that il did move the Liberty
Loan, but it was wasteful, stultifying
and illegal. If the newspapers had
done for private promotion what they
volunteered to do and did willingly for
this government fotatiop they could
/ have been prosecuted under the postal
laws. 1t is not lawful to print adver-
tising as reading matter. This is said
only to point the extreme implications
of the case
If the government had bought the
space in which to present the Liberty
Loan, instead of thrusting upon news
papers the moral responsibility for
selling the bonds, the newspapers
would have been free to comment upon
it impartially and truthfully. They
might have said, for instance, that
Liberty bonds were very attractive for
the purpose of investment to the very
rich, with surtaxes to pay, whereas TO
the small investor they could be rec
commended not as an investment
strictly but as souvenir of patriot
ism.
