HUN PROPAGANDA IN i. S.
COST MANY MILLIONS

Washington, Dec. "a. Bruce Bic
cation of the Department of Justice.
completed his testimony today before
Senate committee Investigating brew
ers and German propaganda. For
three days Mr.. Bielaski has barred the
confidential files Of the department to
show the violation of former Ambas-
sador Won Bcrnstorff and other agents
of the Kaiser to influence public scnti,
ment in America in favor of Germany.
Seven and one-half million dollars
was the cost to Germany Of the propa,
ganda campaign in the United States,
Mr.. Bielaski said, the sum coming
from the total fund of $27 $50 900 held
by the embassy in Washington. Part
of the money went for the purchase Of
newspapers and the printing and dis.
tributing Of literature and part of it
was sent to German consuls over the
country.
Mr.. Bielaski's testimony does not
tie activity of the German representa-
tivcs. 1t was aEno lncet. tonight that
Alfred +. Locker, ASSISTANT distli let at
torncy Of New York, who conducted
an investigation of German propagan-
da, and Francis Garvin, chief of the
bureau Of investigation of the Allied
property custodian's office, will be ex-
ARMED later. Tomorrow the commit
tee will hear Prof. Albert Bushnell
Hart, Of Harvard University, whose
name was in the "important list of
names" contained in DR.. Fuchr's
diary, and who has asked for pcrmis-
sion to testify. After that the com
mttec will adjourn for several days.
In the course Of his testimony to-
day Mr.. Bielaski read from a report
made to Berlin by Dr.. Karl f. Fcuhr
councillor Of the German embassy on
propaganda. This praised the attitude
Of VIM. Randolph Hearst towards
Germany and included on list of
"ncutral' papers the New York Even
ing Mail, the Milwaukee Free Press,
the Chicago Tribune, the Washington
Post and the Hearst organs. Fcuhr
said that Of these the Hearst papers
were the most valuable because of
their large circulation and the fact
that they were printed in so many diff
fcrcnt cities.
Hearst papers are not to be classi-
fled as blind champions Of Germany"
Fcuhr's report said. "Many of the
articles are not favorable to us. But
for that reason they are much more
effective than they could possibly be
if pronounccdly pro-Gcrman."
Mr.. Biclaski told the committee that
of all the newspapers published in the
United States the Hearst organs
"wcrc the most pronounced in favor
Of Germany"
"Thcrc is no other newspaper man."
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1918-12-11

said Mr.. Belaski, "whose attitude was
so friendly to Germany.
eff this inquiry were limited to an
investigation of paid propagandists,
we could not mention Mr.. Hearst.
There is no evidence that Mr.. Hearst
received profits from the German Gov
ernment, or from any one acting for
it," Mr.. Bielaski continued.
GLOW do you account for Mr..
Hearst's attitude?" asked Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota
at probably was because Mr..
Hearst always was anti-British and
suspicious Of everything that country
did, or it may have been caused by
his friendship with Won Bernstorff,"
replied the witness.
"What was his attitude after the
United States entered the war;" ask
ed Chairman Overman.
ellis attitude continued very ques-
tionable," replied Mr.. Bielaski.
"Many articles published in his pa
pers, if published after the passage
of the espionage act as amended,
would have subjected him to prosecu-
ton"
Mr.. Bielaski said that all the de-
Y" rtmcnt has to indicate that Hearst
! er ,caI )rad to ge: any fGyor in re-
turn fos' his support of Germany was
his application for his papers to get
a special news service German agents
planned to send to newspapers in the
United States. William Bayard Hale,
Bielaski said, recommended that the
request be granted because of the
opportunity afforded for wide circu-
lation of the news.
Senator King, Of Utah, objected to
placing in the record kilograms sent
by Hearst from Palm Beach, Fla, in
structing his editors at New York and
elsewhere as to editorial policy, say
ing the messages were irrevelant
After an executive session, however,
the committee voted to place some Of
the kilograms in the record tomorrow.
In the discussion by the committee
of the "ncutraW papers named in
Fcuhr's list, Senator Nelson remark
ed:
"Thc Washington Post was bad up
to the time the death Of John r. Nc
Lean. | used to read it every morn
ing and swear. For couple Of years
we had onlyonc fair newspaper in
Washington and that was the Star.
lIcarst's attitude towards Germany
was praised by DR.. Feuhr in report
to the German Government. After
Great Britain put a boycott on the
Hearst publications, Fcuhr said, the
policy of the papers became more
bitterly antagonistic to that country
than before.
"Thc Hearst papers are not to be
classified as blind champions Of Ger
many" Fcuhr said i'm the report.
"Many Of the articles a,e not favor
able to us, but for that reason they
arc much more effective than they
could possibly be if pronouncedly pro-
German"
