NAz| PROPAGANDA
CHARGED BY PAPER
Petit Parisien Prints Alleged
Code for Agents-A. P. Is
"UnapproachabIe."
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, March 13-The newspaper
Petit Parisien today reiterated charges
that German Nazis were conducting
huge, secret propaganda campaign
abroad. and published what it de-
scribed as a copy of a pamphlet of
confidential instructions sent to Nazi
propaganda agents.
The text, as printed by the Petit
Parisien, instructed the agents to
withdraw advertising from newspapers
| which used ti-German news agency
dispatches and declared that 1t had
proved to be impossible" to establish
relations of any sort with the Asso.
ciated Press.
The Associated Press" declares
the text, as published, shows toward
the new evolution of Germany and
the national Socialist government S
demands in the matter OF foreign
policy a lack of understanding which
must be considered as deliberate hos
/ tility.
1T is recognized that the man.
agerial posts of this news agency are
occupied by persons with whom 1t is
impossible to establish relations Of
any sort"
A. p. Aims Explained.
ASSOCIATED Press editors note: The
Petit Parisien said 1t guaranteed the
authenticity of the text. No further
proof of it's genuineness, however, has
been disclosed. The relations of the
Associated Press with the German
government are exactly the same as
they are with any other government.
The business of the Associated Press
| is impartially to gather and to dis
seminate the news. intinged by bias
or expressions of opinion. 1t does not
engage in any propaganda for any
government, organization or individ-
| ual)
Continuing, the text as printed
says:
''All German agents abroad. there
! fore, are forbidden to make any con-
tact with the managers of The A. P.
Furthermore, the greatest prudence is
recommended in relations with the
| local Associated Press correspondents
Scoops" Advised.
when you enter into personal or
| professional relations with local Asso-
| ciated Press correspondents under the
present circumstances, 1t can only be
! to attempt to understand the work
| ing organization Of the Associated
Press and occasionally to learn quickly
news which requires immediate Ger
man response and, finally, to seek out
| the relations between the Associated
| Press and our adverSaries.'
The leading French and English
agencies are discussed in a similar
manner and the pamphlet goes on to
say that they are also unapproachable
The only means Of making propa-
ganda effective in North America says
the text, is through contracts with
| individual newspapers.
One method of dealing with the
| agencies, the pamphlet said. was to
implant false news through one
| agency and then later deny it through
! another, thus discrediting the agencies

The Petit Parisien said that the
| German agents were warned strongly
against arousing suspicion In their
