NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE PUBLIC EXPECTS FACTS

Undoubtedly il comes as a shock to many news
naper readers to be told by the Brookings Insttu-
tion that one can no longer count on complete I'M
nartiality in government reports. While compiling
guide to enable librarians and students to make
moro intelligent use of federal publications, L. r
Schmecksbier, Brookings research writer, found
that during recent years there has been pro-
nounced tendency to publish material designed to
support the projects or proposed projects of the
administration
Mr. Schmeckeber went on to say that there are
seldom any mistakes in facts in these reports but
their authors by their differences and conclusions
are able to give the average reader an impression
favorable to the administration in power This ten
dency to make propaganda machines out of the IN
formation services of the government has, OF
course, increased with the employment of wel-paid
experienced publicity men by most of the New Deal
agencies.
The high-powered publicity campaign being
staged by at least one of these bureaus was dis
closed recently with the publication of guide sent
out by the Works Progress Administration to state
directors last spring. Besides the customary news
paper releases, it recommended liberal distribution
of photographs motion pictures, supervised tours
Of inspection poster exhibits, and radio speeches
asmeans of getting the WPA's achievements before
the public 1t is natural that this great spotlight
would be trained on the best projects, leaving the
less pleasing ones in the shadow dressing up or
binary ones to advantage.
recent release from the Civil Service Commits
sion illustrates how easy it is for old-time agencies
TO fall into New Deal publicity ways The number
of federal employees under the merit system at the
present time given. Attached was statement
boasting that 'the number of positions in the COM
petitiye classified civil service is the largest since
1919" Left unmentioned was the equally mpor-
tant bit of news that the whole government estab-
lishment has increased so rapidly in the last three
and half years that the proportion of employees
subject to the merit system is lower now than at
any time in the last 80 years
As Mr.. Schmecekbier points out, agencies which
run riot with propaganda and glittering generali-
ties only do themselves harm. The public soon
loses faith IN them.
The student of government affairs may not have
much trouble dferentiating between truths and the
favorable interpretations placed on disagreeable
facts by publicity agents, but the average voter
does not have sufficient background knowledge to
enable him to make this important distinction, nor
is he likely to realize the necessity of doing so.
Facts, not propaganda, are what ne pays his gov
eminent for and what he should get. He will draw
his own conclusions. Christian Science Monitor

CAN'T LAUGH OFF DANGERS OF IMITATION

America to be sure is on the threshold of an
important decision as to the future of the dollars
purchasing power. For confidence in govern
ment's ability to tax and repay debt diminishes,
confidence in the paper money diminishes likewise
II was wrong of Colonel Frank Knox to say that
no insurance policy and savings bank deposit is
safe but it was 100 per cent right for him to say
that if the present trend of government expendl-
lures continues with the careless disregard of
budget balancing has been exhibited in the last
few years the proceeds of those life insurance
companies and the purchasing power of those saw
ings bank deposits will go down in value.
For insurance companies, like banks, pay out in
the same unit of currency that they take in from
their custorners-the dollar. The banks safe
enough and so are life insurance companies but the
pay envelope of the American workingman will not
ne adequate to meet his expenses if unbalanced
government budgets should create a flight to
things" price pan!c-an imitation.
The Roosevelt administration has given many
'ireside" talks and some political talks about its
efforts to soak the rich The plea has been dirned
into the ears of the radio audience that the New
Deal has been, is. and will be "the friend of the
common man."
But wage cut in the savings of the American
working. man is not an act of friendship for the
common
And anv forced rise in the prices of food and
clothing due to lack of confidence in currency
growing out of an artifcialy supported bond mar
ket will not be an act of friendship for the COM

1t is not the rich who are being soaked but the
thrifty, the toers of America, who already nave

dollars of their wages through the "cheap money"

ton. This policy must be disapproved by the Amer

NEW JERSEY MAY START IT.

most unusual situation is developing in con-
nection with the question of the constitutionaity
of the Federal Social Security Act
- 1t is in New Jersey, and it may bring the State
of New Jersey into conflict with the United States
government in an effort to Kill the federal law.
The New Jersey Social Security Commission says
the federal law is unconsttuti )nal that it unduly
and unfairly taxes the industrial worker that it is
excessively expensive, and removes control Of OPP
Grafton from the state and centralizes it in the
hands of political bureaus in the federal govern

Which, If it goes into United States court, will

trade. which President Roosevelt
ruined, according to his opponents,
actually increased s. per cent.
Nobody builds an automobile
unless it can Sc quickly sold. In
the first six months of 1888 the
industry built 100000
cars. In the first six months of
1886 it built almost 100000 cars,
an increase Of Isl per cent!
THERE can be no better index
L of the solid permanencc Of this
Improvement than the remarkable
increase Of building construction
between 1888 and 1886. People do
not put their savings or their Dor
rowings into new buildings, indus
trial or housing, unless they feel
that profit on the investment is
certain for many years TO come.
According to the Chicago Trib-
une's summary of facts, for the
first six months of 1888, new
building construction was valued
at only S432, 100000. In the first
six months of 1884 it jumped to
S8g4,000, 900. There was slight
recession in the first six months
of 1885. But for the same period
in 1886 building construction
reached Sl,2lO,O0O,0O0. That was
an increase of 1870 per cent.
A ND let there be no doubt about
\ it, President Roosevelt and his
administration are responsible for
the improvement. The tycoonS OF
big business and finance had been
in the saddle, riding government
as we'll as business, up to 1888
They dominated Congress. Their
advice was eagerly accepted at the
White House. For II years they
had been the lords of creation
but they couldn't stop the panic
Teey couldn't end the depression
Franklin D. Roosevelt did that
with the mandate Of the people
when he took the helm of gov
eminent and economics in 1888.

lesson as long as it involves mechanics
Transfer the lesson from the mechanical
to the intellectual sphere, however, and
the poor old race has moments in which II
seems positively dull.
There appeared recently in the illustrat-
ed London News a preliminary sketch OF
two new battleships which are about to De
added to the German navy. These, II the
London publication is correct, will be the
most up-to-date fighting ships in all the
world. They will embody all the lessons
taught by the World War. ....
Thus, we are shown monster ships iOO
feet long and approximately 90 feet wide
to be driven by 100000 horsepower en-
gines which will give them a speed of at
least 80 knots. They will carry Pinch
arnor plate amidships, a 5-inch arched
deck for protection against aircraft, z
inch splinter deck below that, and they will
have torpedo "bulges" on both sides.
Their guns will be nine 11-inch rifles
with an effective range of 10000 yards.
In addition, they will carry a number OF
six-inch guns, an anti-aircraft battery, and
hangers providing space for four airplanes.
Altogether, they will be about the most
formidable warships ever built, fast enough
to get away from any other battleships
aflost, and sturdy enough to stand up and
trade punches in case they are cornered.
And the melancholy thought which
arises from contemplating them is just this !:
the purely mechanical lessons ofthe great
war have been learned to perfection. The
defects which sent ships to the bottom at
Jutland and elsewhere will never be dupli-
Gated; the object lessons which the big
rifles and the torpedoes taught have been
taken. to heart.
But it is only in fields such as this that
the war seems to have taught US anything.
Is the larger field, the field of human rela-
tionships, it seems to have taught us moth
ing at all. .
For the war was the most expensive and
painful teaching in all history about the
folly of imperialism, jealous nationalism,
and the rule of force in human affairs. One
would think that even a race of 1O-year-
Odds could have seen, after the war, that
the nations of the world must find some
way Of getting along in peace, no matter
what the price. .."~.. o..
Yet The trend of events today indicates
that this lesson was entirely muffed. Vic
tors and Vanduished alike, the nations are
straiuina every resource to get ready for {
new and more destructive war than thu
last. For few years they gave lip service
70 tbe ideal of international cooperation
now, they are frankly preparing to duph
cate the catastrophe of 1914. ,... E,
We can learn fast enough when tn
teaching has to do with something that Cal
no seen, touched, and reduced to blue
prints We seem dismayingly incapable o
learning anything in any broader field.
