Foreign propaganda doesn't alarm me IS much IS
il alarms Mayor Thompson. Of Chicago. I know there
is a vast amount Of propaganda going on in this ccun-
try for every nation. nationality and race under the sun.
A. an Americna, feel highly Eratified that this il the
case.
The foreign nations present their points Of view
the United statse. why7 Because they all value
American opinion and American friendship.
Nobody j. carrying on any great amount Of prOpa-
ganda in Peru. I venture. II wOcldnt be worth while
Peru is a noble little country. and highly respectable.
but it simply doesn't figure for much in the universal
column.
But everybody from everywhere is busy in the
United States. trying to get Us to think well Of his
country, OF his city. Of his industrial area. The friend
ship Of tbs country is well worth working for.
Nor do / blame the British, the French. the Ger
mans or the Hindus for presenting the merits Of their
respective points Of view to the Americans. We ought
TO be Interested In all these peoples. We ought to hare
opinions concerning the Ghandi movement in India.
the Youth movement in Germany and Czechoslovakis.
the Republican movement in Ireland. the rugmaking
movement among the repatriated Greeks. Americans
should take an intelligent interest In the deplorable
condition OF China, the ambitions and misfoxtunes Of
the japanese. and the operations Of the French in
Africa. The more we read and hear about those things.
the better citizens of our own country and Of the world
we will be.
OF course. ! regret that it is impossible to have
school histories that are not colored somewhat by the
sympathies Of the writer's Of histories. It may be that
Big Bill has found the British point OF view over-em-
phasized in some Of the histories in the Chicago
schools. Even so, l wouldn't commend burning the
histories or eremating the images and photographs Of
King George that may be unearthed in Chicago.
No permanent damage will be done BY tbs propa-
sanda that historians put into their historise. Propa-
ganda that historians put into their histories. Propa-
you do not happen 70 agree. Well, just wait ten years.
and the point Of view in the school histories will
change. Other histories. other angles on history.
Burning books because Of the point Of view ez-
pressed IN them j. foolish and dangerous business.
Somebody did that at Alexandria once. and the world
Is still the poorer. Somebody did that at Louvain, and
the world Of learning still mourns.
