Public. Kept in Dark, Wonders at Strategy
Used by U S. in Psychological Warfare


broadcasts and other propaganda

Vichy France To occupied
France? To Japan? To any
where else on this round globe7
We know that hundreds of
scripts are being written, day in
and day out. BY whom? Do you
know? Does any one know? Does
the President know?
Now, this is the one branch of
warfare which can be a military
secret only to US. 1t Is, by its
nature, no secret to our enemies.
A large part of it is directly de-
signed for their consumption.
The rest they can get from their
listening posts. But the Ameri-
can people cannot get it, except
very exceptionally and with great
difficulty.
AS far as I know not a single
communique has ever been issued
from this branch of our war ef-
fort, in any way dealing with
policy.
People Concerned.
But it happens that this
branch of our warfare-the war
fare dealing in ideas-most di-
rectly concerns the people of the
United States, because it COM
mits the people of the United
States to ideas, programs, poll
cies, that will not only affect the
outcome of the war but play
perhaps determinant role in the
outcome of the peace.
And it not only commits us. 1t
creates in Europe certain forces,
certain political trends. Our po-
litical warfare is, presumably,
playing hand in hand with our
military warfare. Our armies are
attempting to defeat the Axis
powers, and our expectations are
that their military defeat will re-
suit in political overturns. A po-
litical warfare must, therefore,
work to assist the political over
turn, and pave the way for a new
political reconstruction. But to
what groups do we look for re-
volt, and what reconstruction do
We envisage?
Nobody knows. I hope the
bureau itself knows, but If it does
it is a profound secret. I, at
least, have never been able to
find out what the policy is. And
who determines the policy is an
even darker secret. If and when
the time comes to strike at Gen.
trail Europe with armies, expect
to know what generals are in
charge of every operation. But
we Are striking day by day at
Central Europe with ideas, and
neither you nor I know who Is
responsible for them.
Strategy Open to Doubt.
suspect that there is no
planned strategy whatsoever.
And I suspect it on very good
evidence. For I, myself, am a
participant in that warfare.
Once a week, for months past,
I have broadcast to Germany.
Moreover, have organized and
edited other broadcasts to Ger
many. This has been done at
the request of a network and
with the consent of the co-ordi-
nator, whose bureau has passed
on every script. But I have
found it impossible to ascertain
what anybody else is saying to
Germany. I am unaware OF be-
ing part of any planned STRAIT
egy. Presumably there is
strategy and somebody is in
charge of it, but I don't-offl-
cially-know who he is.

toric rulers from the time of Mocte- zima II, chief of the fabulous Aztecs. to General Avila Camacho, the present chief executive of the Mexican nation.
 Many Mexicans," Dr. Magner wrote, "are inclined to blame every thing of evil, at least partially, upon their powerful neighbor to the north and to become exasperated with the sins of the 'Yanquis' as to lose sight of the vast social prob- lens which they themselves must face among their own, including poverty, malnutrition, disease, drunkenness, larceny and marital looseness.
 Clear thinking. a fearless facing of facts, true appraisal of his- torical evolution with recognition of manifest differences in social pat terms, and determination of mu- tual helpfulness without con- descension or 8 demand for the pound of flesh on either hand-all this Is necessary, if the relationship of Mexico and the United States are going to be productive of gen. l1ine advance.
 Mexico has served as the labora- tory for almost every kind of social experiment within the past two cen. turies, and 1t has fallen heir to the thousand and one confusions of Europe and America. It has been told by its critics that its tradi- tional institutions and its national culture-dominantly Catholic and specifically Spanish-are the causes of it's troubles.
 Performers of various kinds and many of the carpet bag variety, have undertaken to change things around. Its history has been writ- ten and rewritten to serve nearly every cause and to utter every solemn warning. Generals and gen. eraliZations, as someone has said, have been it's worse enemies. It has hardly been able to call its house its own.
 "Now perhaps, in the spirit of gen. uine autonomy and international cooperation, Mexico may be per- mitted to indulge in the. luxury of guiding its own destinies, of build ing upon its magnificent cultural traditions, of shaping Its own de- mocracy, and of saying its own prayers"

M'NUTT TO ASK
 CONTROL OF IVA
Wants Youth Training Agency Placed Under
 War ManpOwer Com.

Washington, Dec. Is -(UP)- Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt will ask the new Congress to put the National Youth Administration into the War Manpower Commis- sion.
 He wants the training of all new and prospective war industry work CTS under his control. WING al- ready is experimenting ot h r phases of the training program, in- cluding that of training within industry.
 Sen. Harry P. Byrd and other members of Congress recently criti- cized MA on grounds that 1t used 12OOO supervisors and other work CTS to train 53,000 youths. MA is operating under a $60,O0,00O ap- priation of which j;51, ,000, 900 was provided specifically for training. If . transfer were authorized by Con- gress, those funds would become available to WING.
 By transferring MA to WING, McNutt told his press conference yesterday, limitations on age would be removed from that essential phase of training. NYA now is limited to the training of youths. The transfer could be 50 efectuated as to provide for use of IVA fa- cilities to train young and old alkie.
 Meantime, WING is planning to send 250.00O members of the armed services to universities and colleges to study medicine and other sci- ences. McNutt said he would an- nounce the plans as soon as it was in the hands of all universities and lleges-probably by Thursday.
 The education plan was under taken in an effort to safeguard the needs of the armed services and industry and government, as well, for doctors and scientist. Those who will be sent back to their books will be those who have specific capabilities in the sciences, particu- larly those who were studying those subjects at the time they were in- ducted.

Schools Conserving
 Limited Oil Supply
NOn-Student Activities at Five Buildings Cancelled;
 Double Sessions Ruled Out
T1s

In an effort to conserve the cur- tailed supply of fuel oil at Water bury's oil-burning schools, members of the Board of Education voted last night to cancel permission for all non-school activities at five school buildings and one school gym. The action followed a recommends ton from Commissioner Harold Parkinson, who stated the supply should be reserved primarily for the use of pupils, and outside organiza- tions should be advised to shift their activities to coal-burning buildings.
 That pupils of five schools may be transferred for the winter season to other buildings because of in- adequate fuel oil supplies arose as a possibility, as figures on the use of oil at the buildings were disclosed by Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- tendent of schools. It was reported that in accordance with OP4A regu- lations supplies for Slocum, Hope vile, Kingsbury, East Mountain, and East Farms school buildings, and the Anderson school gymrla- sium has been cut from one-third to one-half over that of last year, and that already in some cases, more than third of the allowance has been used.
 rhe board requested School Building Inspector John McGough to investigate the possibility of converting the furnaces to use coal, and inquire on purchasing neces- sary grates and other equipment. It is believed Kingsbury school furnaces can be converted, but the gymnasium would have to be shut off in that case.
 East Mountain and East Farms schools likewise may face conver- sion. It was reported conversion of the Anderson school gymnasium furnaces would be a large and ex-

penSive task and inadvisatle. The school proper Is heated by coal.
 Holding of double sessions was suggested by one of the board mem bers, but 1t was ruled out. Tn the event pupils from she oil-burning schools are transferred, transporta- ton will be provided. The possi- bility of moving the first vaca- ton period of next year to Janu- ary also was ruled out, when it was pointed out that fuel oil coupons must be used for specified periods and shortage of oil could not ke remedied in that manner.
 The board after discussing the heating problem until late in the evening voted to hold an adjourned meeting Friday at noon and take
