BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Stan Writer

British and French propaganda agents start off with a tremendous advantage today because the marks of their extraordinarily effective propaganda of l9i4-l9la are still grooved deep in the American mind.
 The alertness of the British to propaganda possibilities Is well shown by the fact that even be- fore general fighting started on the western front they had deluged Germany from airplanes with several million propaganda tracts, printed in German-obvious evi- dence that they were prepared beforehand.
 The line of today's British effort was well laid down by Sidney B. Rogerson in his book, "Propa- ganda in the Next War" rare in this country, but quoted at length In the Congressional Record by Senator Nye.
 For offensive propaganda we shall look to the indirect variety" wrote Rogerson, directed toward neutrals and allies-to engage the former on our side if possible, but at all costs to prevent their going over to the enemy. This neutral zone will be the great battle-ground of propaganda. :" PROMINENT PERSONS
 AID JOHN BULL
 This battle is already on. Dur- ing the World War the American press was immediately deluged with signed stories by great literary fig- ures like Lord Bryce, c. K, Ches- terton, Conan Doyle, Alfred Moves, Hilaire Bello', Joseph Conrad, Rud- yard Kipling, and J. M. Barrie.
 Recently, the American papers have been regaled with the signed stories of Winston Churchill, An- thony Eden, Wickham steed, AL fred Duff- Cooper, and (for the French) Andre Maurois. Eden only recently concluded 0 lecture tour in the United States. That Is the key to British tech- nique-to use names already fa- miliar to American readers, and to cultivate influential contacts already friendly.
 When the congress on educa. ton for Democracy met recently in New York, the chief British delegate was Earl Baldwin of Bewdley, whose prominence as Stanley Baldwin assured head- lines. And Americans are now recalling that the much- h-trumpeted visit of the king and queen was announced just nine days after Munich.
