German propaganda once again
is scientifically at work in the
United States" declared Senator
King. Democrat, Of Utah, in an in
terview yesterday. The tear-gaS
now being sent up in connection
with the reparations the allies de-
mand from Germany is part and
parcel Of the new propaganda"
Senator King was chairman Of the
subcommittee Of the judiciary COM
mittee of the Senate, to whose IN
vestigations was due the action Oh
Congress in disrupting the National
German-American Alliance. He no"
is assembling the official figures OF
the war losses sustained by Great
Britain. France, Italy, Belgium ser
bia and Roumania, with view or
Comparing the total with the 10
600, ,OOO, 900 gold marks the allies in
sist Germany shall pay. He thinks
the time has come to conduct
little .propaganda" on behalf Of
the nations the Germans ravaged'
before propaganda" designed TO
spare Germany makes any more
progress.
United States n Fertile Field
Senator King said:
The United States has proved TO
be a fertile field for propaganda in
support of causes - some worthy
but many sinister and destructive.
Our hospitality often has been taken
advantage of by those who repre-
sonted policies foreign to the in
# fry
times calculated to Cndanger the
friendly relations existing between
our government and other nations
We are today confronted with d
widespread propaganda among our
German American citizens, as well
as among all classes OF our people
the object Of which seems to be t.
discourage our former allies anC
arouse bitter antagonism towar'
them. The Versailles treaty is at
tackled There are loud lamenta
tions that its provisions bear heaV
lily upon Germany. There is a mani
fest effort to arouse hatred TOWARD
Great Britain and to France, ant
indeed distrust of all the allies. On
would think, when encountering TIM
propaganda. the United states an
GERMANY were associates in tn
world war, and the allies were ou
enemies
The American people cannot for
get what Great Britain, France
Italy and the allied nations did il
the greatest war of all times. W
would be guilty of unparalleled
pcrfidy il we were to desert our re
cent associates in that conflict an
forsake them in the mighty tas
the common victory placese upo
them as well as upon ourselves.
Cannot Make ReparatiOn Adequate
Together We won the war, an
it would be cowsrdice and treach
erv if We were to make eommO
cause WITH our German enemies
Germany now complains Of tn
reparations demanded of her. Doe
she forget the woes Of Belgium, III
devastation of France, the suHel
inCs Of Great Britain, the TRACE
dies Of Italy, the broken and OF
pressed people Of Serbia, the river
Of blood German armies caused
flow throughout the world Ge
many cannot make adequate rel
aration for the wrongs committ'
against Europe, the United Stat
and civilization in general. Sh
cannot replace the millions VII
died upon the battIefeld. She ca
mot bring to life the millions WI
came to premature ends direct
Resulting from the war.
