TELLING THE PEOPLE

While the boys with guns and
planes and ships are doing their
psrt n this war, the publicity men
are busy IN Washington telling the
peopls Of The Axis powers about
the weak spots that their own high
.r.ups don't want known. We hear
much said about the strong German
propaganda agencies. but We must
remember that We have some pretty
good arguments 70 pass out 100
and they are being passed without
reserve.
Day BY day. almost hour by hour
American short waves, aimed al
Germany, drive home the theme
"You can't win wake UP
overthrow your NaIi masters. =.
r The big shots IN the Nati party
lead a life OF plenty " This sec
ond World War certainly has en-
riched the Na5i chiettains The
Gestapo has not left anything IN
done 10 curb free expression OF
the people
The government - not showing
TIA entire hand and probably not
until the war Is over will the Amer
lean public know all the informs-
ton that has been given out 70 the
Axis nations, 70 South America and
10 the world.
Radio programs follow few main
lines, such as pointing out the parai-
lei OF the present events with those
of 1918; comment on the Rus
sian successes and the failure OF the
Nazi blitzkrieg and Hitler's intut-
ton: breakdown OF the NaZi new
order" Of Europe-resistan by the
conquered countries; Nazi exploita-
ton OF the conquered areas and
failure 70 organize Europe into
sufficient war production machine
for the Nazi war needs; shortages
IN Germany; privstions OF the Ger
man peoples riffs between the
Nazis and their allies and riffs with
n the Nazi camp
Shortwavs programs have two
main sims-to show the German
people why they should turn against
the Nszi party and 70 convince them
that n the case OF defeat there is
not going 20 be another super'yer-
sailles.
Illustrating how delicately the
needles are applied TO the Nari
masters are these excerpts from a
recent NBC shortways brosdcas /.
10 Germany:
There are impressive similari-
ties between the situation Of 1917
and today But still there are. too,
certain differences. TIE American
people are today filled with an even
stsruer determination 10 fight until
the final victory o. wight. Their
Armament "a much stronger. They
have an impressive number % men
already trained and thoroughly
equipped. Their war production IL
already IN full activity AMI It's out.

We know those who are guilty

honest members Of the German
people know they are Hitler and
his accomplices.
England did not succumb IN
1917 and neither will she succumb
in 1912.
The history o. the Cast) war
will repeat Itself for the Germans.
The Nazis have no peace plans,
they plan only war and destruction.
The United Nations . have plan
for a just humane peace provided
that Hitler and all other totslitarian
policies be destroyed
The biz shots IN the Nazi party

dissipation but just as under the
