PROPAGANDA POLICY
It is almost impossible for
anyone in the United States to
follow these broadcasts from the
United States to foreign coun-
tries, for it is only by luck and
under freak atmospheric condi-
tons that q short wave receiver
in the u. S. can pick up the
beam. Naturally, the general
staffs of the Army and Navy
aren't putting out what their
policy Is in broadcasting to any
foreign country, but in general
1t can be said that the idea with
regard 20 Italy is to put over to
the Italian population the
thought that the United Nations
are not seeking to inflict any
reprisals or punishments on the
Italian people themselves for
the misdeeds Of the Fascist gov
eminent under Mussolini.
The main problem boils down
to this fundamental of soften
ing up" the Italians so as to
prepare them to welcome a pos
sible invasion by United Ma
tons troops.
STRENGTH NOT KNOWN
How strong the Italian under
ground movement really is can't
be determined and probably
couldn't be told if it were
known. Anti-Fascists in the
United States think it's pretty
good. Americans who were in
Italy right up to the time the
United States got into the war
aren't so sure, but American
newspaper correspondents have
been kicked out of Italy for
writing stories about executions
of anti-Fascists.
There are supposedly COM
munists and liberal wings to
ianti-Fascism in Italy today. the
communists probably being the
stronger and better organized.
In the United States, the Ital-
ian liberals are more important.
But the point made by Italian
leaders in the u. S. is that both
groups are working together
now, against Mussolini.

For the past several years,
our editorial staff has been as
sisted by young persons who
have been trained in journalism.
Two have been from our own
Montana State University. One
received her training in q North
Dakota college and later had
actual experience on North
Dakota daily paper. Why do we
seek people who are trained in
newspaper work? The answer
is interesting.
More and more worthwhile jour-
nalism is taking on the status of a
profession. Il is frequently referred
to as a profession. And like all
other professions, it requires trained
workers if the product is to be of
the high quality it should be and
that the public demands. That is
one reason. There is second an

MANY people today want to
write. They have interesting
and often valuable information
to give, arresting facts to set
forth, and exciting stories to
tell. When they come actually
to set this material down in
words, they often fail because
they lack the technical knOwl-
edge required. They find them
i selves unable to arrange their
information, to illustrate their
facts, or to build up their
stories

This Shop Talk" department

matter with his subscribers. This

arisen.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1942-06-11

But there are still other answers
to the question why we employ
those who have been trained in
journalism.
Now and then someone will
remark, "Whys anybody can
write" Can they? Our ex-
perience and the experience OF
every editor says, "They can
not" Just as an example.
Not so long ago this newspaper
desired a report on a story from
which we were unable to obtain the
information first-hand. In seeking
the information we found that the
one who had the information was
determined to write up the story.
II was late and space was restricted.
When the story came IN, the writer
was told the article was too long.
Whereupon instructions were given
to eliminate the last paragraph If
necessary. And that last paragraph
contained the only item of real news
in the entire item. All the rest was
extraneous matter. The unframed
writer would have eliminated the
only thing in which the public was
really interested. Needless to say,
the item was rewritten, shortened
and with the vital news played up.
We would not imply by these re-
marks that no one outside news
paper office can turn in a properly
written article. There are always
ia few persons who have a natural
knack in that direction. They are
pearls of great price" to the news
paper man. Fortunately, we have
found few in Libby and we are
glad to rely on them frequently for
assistance. But as general thing,
such talented people are few in
number and even their writings
would be improved if they had had
journalistic training.
Further proof why everybody
cannot write is found in the manu-
, scripts turned into every newspaper
, office. We were handed an article
not so long ago, one written by a
supposedly educated person. one
/ who is college graduate. There
, were three rank grammatical errors
in the first sentence. And the en-
! tire article was confusing and la
bored Grammatical errors are
found in almost all such writings,
: And very few persons know any
thing whatever about punctuation
: and italization--strang as that
may seem.
Additional reasons why trained
workers must be had is that writing
is not the only work required Of q

ability to sell the newspapers prod

petitive age, there must be adequate
income. And that income does not
just merely walk into the door

Furthermore, the busy publisher
does not have the time nor the en-

Michigan. Kenneth M. Burns, state

Burns warned that the CAM
