Junior C.. of C..
Told Subtlety
of Propaganda
After War Plans
Considered

Edward Heyman of the Ypsilanti
High School faculty and one time
delegate to the Institute OF Inter
national Relations at Geneva, Swift
zerland, Thursday evening told the
Junior Chamber OF Commerce OF
sources and methods used by var
ious foreign countries to further
propaganda. He displayed maya
zines and pamphlets printed by
most Of the belligerent countries
snG described the way in which
these articles were supposed TO
influence their readers
mr.. Heyman pointed out that
most people agree propaganda
printed or released over the radio
in the guise of legitimate news
may be true or false and is so rec
ognized. but that pictures must
certainly be authentic He d s
counted this. notion by displaying
magazines printed and released by
both Germany and eXiled Polish
government after the attack on
Poland, in which were printed pic
lures of girls claimed TO have been
slain by soldiers Of the other side
The pictures were identical and
apparently were made from the
same negative. How this occurred
was a mystery Mr. Heyman said,
and implied that It was doubtful
if women were killed by either
party.
In his opinion Mr.. Heyman said,
the japanese propaganda has been
by far the most subtle Of that OF
any country. Their intention has
been TO placate and win the con
lidence Of the American people and
all the while they have been un-
doubtedly planning destruction.
Fred Behner, national director OF
the United States Junior Chamber
Of Commerce talked on "Organiza-
ton Problems and Project Work -
of the organization. He stressed
the value of the Junior Chamber
Of Commerce as a school of lead
ership training. He told OF the
plans of national scope Of the o.
canlzation to anticipate the prob
lens of the postwar era and the
