bias cannot possibly represent the truth .> lies are circulated with great rapidity the amount of rubbish and humbug that passes un- der the name of patriotism In war time in all countries is sufficient to make decent people blush when they are subsequently, disillusioned."
 This observation is particularly applicable at the present time when Great Britain pleads to the world that she is fighting 8 holy battle for the preservation of democracy and Christianity when in reality she is fighting to retain a vast empire, acquired by conquest.
 Perhaps, if Americans were more familiar with the vicious deception which reused America to war pitch <. a generation ago, they would be bit more reluctant to absorb the twisted all out = for Britain view points being dished out in the press and radio now.
 On the eve of his 81st birthday, Cardinal O'Connell, of Boston. ut tered a solemn warning to his coun- trymen against the siren voices of war propaganda.
 Telling the public that i've should keep out of war as the thing for America and Americans" the Dean of the Catholic Hierarchy in the United States identified TWO GROUPS as especially dangerous to our peace and security.
 One of these groups is war prop agandists here at home.
 Of them, the Cardinal said: V Its hard for me to understand WHY some of these propagandists are allowed to cry down the normal wish of the American people for peace.
 what is their purpose?
 'They cannot be real Americans because REAL AMERICANS think of THEIR OWN COUNTRY first"
 Regarding the other group Car dinal O'Connell said:
 There are certain expatriates-I think you know who mean-who are raising their voices in loud ac- cents with the preposterous propo- sition that America sink her indiv- iduality and become a sort of tail- ent of foreign empire.
 eff this is not an example Of ex- alted hysteria, don't know what it could be-"
 Cardinal O'Connell clearly rec ognizes that the vast majority of 2 the American people do not want to be led or intrigued into another for- eign war.
 < notwithstanding the too preva- z lent propaganda from all sides" commented the Prelate, "the hope and prayer of the American people is that we shall be spared the hor- TOTS of war.
 "They have taken for granted that the authorities at Washington MEANT WHAT THEY SAID and SAID WHAT THEY MEANT when ]. they promised to KEEP US OUT OF WAR"
 AS the Archbisop of 300 parishes in New England, Cardinal O'Con- nell speaks on behalf of more than H5s million people.
 He lifts c potent voice for peace 'sand for America.
