ENGLAND HAD BETTER START

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. = The
surprise sinking Of the passenger
steamer Athena might act as a
warning to England that she had
better adopt at once the system OF
anti submarine warfare that Am

World War.
1t was tough-minded old Admiral
Sims and his staff who taught Eng
land that a mine barrage could be
laid across the principal submarine
outlet into the Atlantic. Thereafter
Germany Officially" lost a dozen
submarines among the mines and
an unestimated number that failed
to leave any trace.
1t was Admiral Sims and his
officers who also perfected TIL e
convoy system that permitted U. S
troops to get to France with the
loss of only one boat.
The Athena evidently was with
out convoy of any kind.

PROPAGANDA Seen AS PEACE
THREAT, But IT CAN BE BEAT
BY GARDNER SOULE
AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Propa-
ganda machines had a lot to do
with getting us into World War No
and are running full blast right
now.
Can we keep them from getting
us into World War No ~
went to the Institute for Prop
uganda Analysis here to find out
The answer was that while
propaganda is dangerous, it is by
no means fatal. And America can
still decide its own destiny if IL
keeps its head, insists on facts
and refuses to be swept away by
emotions.
Clyde r. Miller, secretary and
director of the institute, explains
that propaganda consists of far
more than obvious advertising. A
speech by Adolf Hitler, for ex-
ample, is excellent propaganda
for Hitler-because it gives his
argument, and is carried through
out the world. The same is true of
speech by Premier Chamberlain.
If you consider all opinion, how
ever it is expressed as propa-
ganda, you will not be far wrong
BRITISH WERE BEST
In World War No. /, Great Brit
ain won the propaganda battle
here. Before and during the war,
her strategy was TO emphasize her
interest in the war as identical
with Americas. A principal tech
nique of her campaign was to con-
vert American leaders and Gre
ators Of public opinion to the Brit
ish point of view. To this end,
Britain sent many writer's and
statesmen to America.
German propaganda boomeranged
because the Germans weren't as
suave or as polite as the British.
They didn't understand us as well.
There's no reason to get angry
about this" says Miller. ANY ma
ton would do this if it could. Brit
ain, because Of the common bond
with us of languages and culture,
can do it better than any other
nation"
just to realize how strong our
cultural ties with Britain are, re-
member that every school child
studies British authors: Shake
speare, Thackeray, Dickens. That
is just one example.

THE 'LUSITANIA"

The Lusitania had somewhat the
same experience and lot of UNI
friendly stories arose about her.
The Lusitania sailed with a cargo
of American and foreign passengers,
together with some war materials,
straight in the face of warnings
published by Germany in American
papers that the boat was certain to
be target for submarines. When it
reached the submarine zone it got no
protective convoy. Further, for some
reason which has not yet been ex-
planned, the commander of the ship
did not zig-zag as he approached
home. That is one way of prevent
ing submarines from getting pro-
per aim Further, the commander
slowed his speed to barely half the
ships maximum. The Lusitania was
cold meat to submarine
Repeatedly it has been suggested,
and repeatedly it has been denied,
that England let the Lusitania run
the gauntlet without protection in
the expectation that her sinking
would arouse Americans further
against German atrocities" and
bring America into the war on the
side of the Allies.
There isn't a shred of evidence
to associate the Athena with such
stories, but the general effect on
American sentiment appears
much the same as that genera !
by the Lusitania.
