How Saturday Evening Post Exists
Only Remedy Is Cooperative Pa
pers.

Figures just given out by the Mr..
Clemens, (Mich.) Monitor throw
brilliant light on the subsidized and
poisoned source of information and
opinions upon which the people are
fed by the powers that be. A reall-
cation of the condition inadvertibly
exposed by the facts and figures pub
lished in the Monitor ought to arouse
the common people to the imperative
necessity of maintaining and extend
ing their own cooperative press with
all their power and ability.
The Monitor article is concerned
only with the waste Of paper by the
big magazines and newspapers in the
face of the present print paper crisis.
Unwittingly, however, it reveals a
still more alarming fact; it indicates
to what dangerous extent the big
magazines and newspapers are sub
sisting on subsidies provided by the
big interests which are at this NOM
ent attacking every free institution
in America and attempting to fasten
upon this country one Of the most
powerful and remorseless industrial
autocracies the world has ever seen.
+ Amazing Figures

Subtle Propaganda
The answer is found on the pages
Of the Saturday Evening Post. This I
publication is the most powerful, the I
most subtle and the most dangerous |
engine of reaction ever devised by
the big interests. 1t employs the
most clever brains in America to at
tack by the most cunning and M
sidous propaganda this country has
ever seen every genuine attempt OF
the people to overthrow the rule Of
big business. It's stories, its general
| articles, its editorials are studied and
adroit masterpieces of reaction de-
signed specifically to implant and de-
velop that great body Of prejudice,
passion and opinion upon which the
present system of private monopoly
i is based.
Think of the tremendous and wide
spread influence Of this mighty pro-
lpaganda organ. It reaches 1000, 600
families. It probably is read by as
many people as all the country week
lies in the United States. It deceives
millions of people because the words
democracy" and "iberty" and pro
gress'' are always in it's mouth while
It insiduously strikes at the roots OF
these things. The stupendous amount
Of material used by this magazine to
keep the people in darkness and bond
ape transcends all that used by all
the country weekies in the United
; States. The paper used by the Post
: would produce 26,25O county week
