foreign propagandists have made IL
tie Roadway In shaping public opinion
In America. Probably the most ex-
tensive foreign publicity work under
taken here in recent years was that
In behalf-o fthe League OF Nations. It
was the most cleverly planned and
crafty conducted propaganda ever
undertaken anywhere on earth - but
II failed utterly in its ultimate OBJ
ject, however successful It may have
seemed for a time The votes Of &c.,
100000 people against the league
while only 100000 voted for those
who sponsored 1t, show that not even
the best organized and financed pub
licity can be effective II the minds of
the people once get fixed upon the
subject matter an dthey take an in

"The only danger in representa-
tive popular government such as ours
Is that the people, busy with the great
task Of making a living and prepar-
ing for the tax collector will not give
time enough to the study of public
questions. The masses of the people
are honest in their purposes, deeply
patriotic, and highly intelligent, even
among those whose school education
has been far too limited. People who
read Of talk about public issues will
form reasonably accurate judgment,
and, though a few may be misled by
selfishly conducted propaganda, the
majority will nearly always be found
acting in accordance with general
welfare.
"The internationalists spent money
freely in the effort to put over the

foreign influences at work in this
country on other projects, particular
ly to influence our Merchant Marine
policy and to shape our tariff laws
They will deceive some people. Unless
there is activity on the part Of Amer
lean publicists, they may deceive
many people. It is well, therefore
that there be full discussion through
the press, in public gatherings, and
wherever citizens meet, with view
to determining where the best interests
of America lie and how they can best
be protected and maintained"

A Slump in Stage
Twins, Says Mears
OF broadway Whirl'
CONTINUED from page one)

teen had never appeared on the pro-
fessional stage before.
So Mears advertised in the daily
papers for twins or near twins last
Sunday and confidently expected many
applicants at the stage door of the
Times Square the next day. Only
thirty girls appeared and among them
not one set of twins. 1t is true there
was one set of triplets--Virginia,
Gladys and Mae Blair, Of BOT Lenox
Avenue--but as there were but two
roles to fill and the triplets decided to
remain impaired on or off the stage
Mr.. Mears turned in vain to the o..iso
applicants.
The search is still on.
"What puzzles me-" says Mr.. Mears,
"is that in view Of the widely adver-
tised unemployment of chorus girls
there should have been 80 few replies
to the advertisements. Of course this
search has been going on for weeks
and have interviewed numbers Of
young women. You see, they must not
only have real talent and beauty but
look and act exactly alike. It's really
too bad the songs have been written,
the music stopped, the dances arranged
and costumes designed. Everything Is
ready except the twins. Maybe I'll
offer reward for the scout who can
'tlp' me off to the right pair Of girls.
Of course all twins do not look abso-
lutely alike and all twins do not fill
the exacting artistic requirements for
these relies, but l live in hope, and
when fnd the right girls promise
to spring pleasant surprise on the
theatrical public"
