date has provided that the young idea
shall be impressed with the goodness
or the badness of any given statute.
However. the scheme IS thoroughly
~dead-kil!ed by half a dozen words
from the white house.
The other proposition vas less
formal and direct. 1t consisted Of ali
appeal from the National Republic
magazine for funds to combat
"radicalism" and support the policies
Of President Hoover. This seemed to
be something new, too, and 1t would
be considerably funnicr If some of the
Republican leaders such as Chairman
Work and Senators Watson Of In
diana and Burton of Ohio hadn't been
pictured as giving the movement their
endorsement. The %pretension was
made that President Hoover himself
was behind it, but the white house
promptly announced that he wasn't
in sympathy with the drive.
The National Republic is a monthly
magazine devoted to publishing pa
triotic articles, prO-adm!nistratiOn
propaganda and material apparently
designed to prove that the country is
in some danger of a communist revo-
luton.
The propaganda effort of the power
interests has been perhaps the ma
jor scandal uncovered here in the last
year. This was still another type Of
propaganda. the effort of an enor-
nous industry to educate children and
newspaper readers against public
ownership of anything else which
might hamper monopolics III making
huge profits. This great propaganda
effort. affecting public schools, COL
legcs, newspapers and numerous other
channels of reaching the public. is be-
ing uncovered by the federal trade
commission, by direction of the SEN
ate.
Lots Of Tariff Propaganda
The tariff revision now in progress
has produced the greatest flood of
propaganda ever released here in
peacetime. The largest single lot Of
it has been provided by American u
gar interests in Cuba. assisted by the
manufacturers of bottled carbonated
beverages. who have put up a terrific
battle against the sugar tariff in
crease voted by the house. Sugar
propaganda has been released here by
the bale.
Importance Of continued propa-
ganda has also finally been realized
by the Democratic party, which has
expanded its publicity staff here and.
is now issuing public blasts at the Re-
%publicans every day or so-a perform
ance which will probably continue up
to and past the next presidential cleo
ton.
The Republicans. Of course, have
the machinery for the worlds greatest
propaganda factory by reason of their
control Of the administration. Their
officials, from President Hoover down,
have AZ incalculable superiority over
the outs when it comes TO getting
J their views into circulation.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. who keeps an
eye on the news out Of Washington
must be realizing that we are living
In an age of propaganda and that
there is worse and more Of it from
week to week.
President Herbert Hoover. however.
seems to be one who doesn't alto
gether approve Of tat least as far
as the federal government is con-
cerned.
Within the last few days he has
knocked out two very extensive prop
uganda plans. One Of them he killed
completely; upon the other he simply
frowned sternly. but a presidential
frown a be a whitening blight, and
this second plan is weak and pallid
right now.
The government. of course. has been
propagandizing for some time in IL
way or another, with the wal and
navy departments laying down the
heaviest barrages; but the recent an
nouncement that the prohibition bu-
reau was going to spread propaganda
in favor of prohibition III the public
schools goes beyond them all.
A Widespread Program
Mr.. Hoover lost very little time in
coming down on this scheme with
both feet. He put the clamps on it
so effectively that even the pam
phlets that were drawn up to aid in
the good work are not to see the light
Of day. But. even though dead. the
plan Is worth examining. Just as an
instance of the extent of the propa-
ganda machinery that could. under
certain conditions. be put to work by
Uncle Sam.
The prohibition bureaus educa-
tional campaign in the schools was by
no means to have been limited to
preaching the virtue of law observ-
ance and law enforcement. The bu-
reau went so far as to outline meth
DDS by which to inject the propa-
ganda into classes in arithmetic. Eng
lish, history, drawing. current events
and various other subjects. and all
Of this propaganda was designed to
prove that prohibition was correct in
theory and successful in operation.
Good or bad. this vas certainly a
drastic step for the government.
Nothing like It had ever been pro-
posed before. The navy and wal de-
partments have persistently tried to
convince the public what fine things
armies. navies and preparedness are.
but attempting to prove to school
children the wisdom Of specific
law is, for the federal government,
something new
Had No Authority
There is, Of course. no federal law
under which the federal government
could have made courses in prohibi-
ton compulsory. School children in
most places are taught the desirable
ity Of law observance, and some
states provide for teaching them the
evils Of alcohol; but no state law to

Emperor Hirohito met Prince Henry
of England, Duke of Gloucester at the

the Order of the Garter on the jap

The Emperor grasped the hand of
the English Prince and chatted with
him for a moment after he had de-
scended from the coach to the station
platform. Then he watched smilingly
as Crown Prince Chichibu left with
him In a brilliant procession to the
Kasumigaseki Palace, which is to be
his temporary residence.
At the entrance, the Princess Chi
chibu, acting as the empires hostess on
behalf of the Empress, who expects soon
to become a mother for the third time,
greeted the royal guest. The Princess

Of the opinion that it would be futile to
attempt another naval disarmament
conference in the immediate future. BE-
fore such conference would have
greater chances of success than that
which failed in 1927, they feel, a new

Suggestions that President Hoover re-
pudiated the action of Ambassador Hugh

cation at Geneva, in, Withdrawing the
general reservation Of the United States
against exclusion of trained reserves in

have been discredited here. They were
advanced in Washington dispatches
which apparently were published wide
ly in Europe, but officials declare his
pronouncement reflected the admins
tration viewpoint.
Reports from Geneva that "linita-
ton" and not reduction" of arma-
mentS would be the guiding principle of
the conference there and differences
drawn from them that the American
proposal for actual cutting down of
naval forces has been rejected, mean
while, have brought the following an
nouncement from the State Depart
ment:
Caused by Soviet Proposal.
With reference to press reports that
the preparatory commission had
strapped the conception of reduction of
ornaments in favor Of that of limita-
ton only, Ambassador Gibson has re-
port that the only basis for such allega-
ton was that a Soviet amendment In
jecting cumulative considerations In
the text of the draft convention under
the guiSe of commitment for reduc-
ton below levels prevailing on a fixed
date was rejected unanimously on a
point of order. The whole commission
made 1t clear that in rejecting the
amendment on point of order its posi-
ton regarding reduction was in no way
preiudiced."
