u. S. Joins World Wide Propaganda Drive;
Broadcasters Fight Government Control
Charge of Censorship
Follows New FEC
Regulation.
By JEROME ARNOLD


Released BY Western Newspaper Union,
Twenty years ago the United
States officially discarded its
weapon of propaganda, warren
forced, and set about reviving a
true democracy in which there
should be free speech, a free
press and no holds barred.
In the years that passed
other nations found free ex-
pressions of opinion handi-
cap. Dictators arose with
special rows to hoe in which
part truths were more effec-
tive than whole ones, both for
home consumption and abroad. Ra-
do scared into being, the mightiest
modern instrument of propaganda.
Soon the worlds ether was torn by
merry cross currents, Fascist against
Communist, dictator against democ-
racy.
More specifically: Germany, Italy
and Japan are now directing propa-
ganda via short wave to Latin
America, the continent which the
United States promised to protect
in its historic Monroe doctrine. Die
tators are vieing for political, cul-
tural and economic supremacy on
the worlds last unexpected frontier.
Propaganda Forces Censorship.
Propaganda's most alarming quail
ity is that it spreads like cancer,
forcing innocent nations to launch
counter-campaigns for self protec-
ton. In turn, these counter-cam-
paigns may grow until nations die
tate what their radio stations and
newspapers tell foreign nations.
That is censorship, a suppression of
free speech and free press.
This subject is pertinent today be-
cause the United States has begun
active participation in the modern
World war of propaganda, partici-
patton started voluntarily several
years ago by Independent radio or
CARNATIONS but now under increas-
ing surveillance from Washington.
This surveillance has reached
such heights that the much maligned
federal communications commission
recently issued an unprecedented or
der to IA international" stations
which broadcast by short wave,
principally to Latin America. The
order demanded that after next No
vember ! all foreign broadcasts
must promote international good
will, understanding and co-opera-
tion." 1t further stated that when
Representatives of these stations ap-
pear before FEC for annual renewal
of licenses, they must show their
programs have reflected the "cul-
ture of this country"
Broadcasters Complain.
This, complained President Ne
vile Miller of the National Associa-
ton of Broadcasters, is censorship,
because it would, for example, ire
quire icensee to suppress spokes-
men for minority groups if either the
icensee or the commission believed
their views would not promote in
ternational good will, understanding
and cooperation"
Whether the order will be rescind-

small particles which might mix with
the threshed grain and cause spoil

working parts, extends the full width
of the thresher body. The thresher
is built ON the straight line" prin-
ciple with no right-angle turns or
dead spaces to cut capacity and re-
duce the working efficiency.
Separation is accomplished not
only by 3-sectiOn, rotary type straw
rack but also at the grated surface
underneath the cylinder. This dual
system of separation speeds up the
work and results in better grain-sav-
ing performance. especially where
the crop is extra heavy or weedy.

THIS MAY SAVE YOUR CHILD'S LIFE

Boys will be boys, but parents can
very often avoid tragedy by using more
care in teaching them the dangers of COM
monplace things.
For example, recently, in Illinois, an
8-year-old lad tried to start fire with
gasoline. The explosion killed him and
seriously injured his 6-year-old brother.
Unfortunately, the little fellow is dead,
but are there parents in Key West who per-
NIT their children to use oil and gasoline
in starting fires? If so, is it not possible
to stop the custom, and maybe save lit
tie life?
1t is not unusual to see, in the press,
where youngsters get hold of firearms
and, probably without understanding the
nature of their act, kill somebody. In
Pennsylvania, not long ago, two little boys
got into an argument over some crackers,
it is said, and one shot the other with a
pistol. The killer was only six years old.
Who imagines for minute that the tot
understood the effect of his pistol pointing
and that he really had murderous in
tent in his heart?
Parents in Key West should be very
careful to remove firearms from the reach
of children, but more than this, they
should never fail to instruct them against
the danger of such weapons,

There may be people in the world
who condone the vicious treatment of the
Jews in Germany, but the callous way in
which the German Government uses the
future welfare Of these prosecuted peo-
pie to further national ends abroad strikes
us as being as utterly defenseless as the
cruel anti-Jewish DEGREES.
Quite frankly, for some time. we have
suspected that the motive behind the policy
of the German Government was little short
of the gangster. In brief, the GoveI1im lent
got what it wanted when it confiscated the
properties of the Jews. Now that the re-
action in the world has caused swift and
catastrophe decline of Germany's export
trade, the Nazi regime offers "some re-
Taxation of its DEGREES.
IF the anti-Jewish policy was right or
just in its beginnings, or necessary in the
internal policies of Hitler-land, the same
forces should make it continue. The ere
Taxation" offered displays an easily dis
cernible motive to accumulate foreign ex-
change and does not deserve the respect of
mankind y77t sew
As the internal economic condition of
Germany stands today, exports are neces-
sary to support military expenditures. As
Hitler himself puts it, it is question of
export or die Therefore, in order to
accumulate the foreign exchange needed
to build guns and airplanes, the NaZi Gov
eminent offers to temper its brutality if
the world will buy German goods. Bluntly,
the Nazi Government has pointed the pis-
tol of brutality at the heads of the Jewish
men, women and children, but will not pull
the trigger if the people of the world will
buy German products.
This is blackmail, brutal, barbarous
and uncivilized. 1t is not even thinly dis
guised.
