15.Point Propaganda
Policy Developed by
Hitler, Says 0. F.F.
Nuzi Methods Outlined
In Pamphlet Titled
Divide and Conquer

Adolf Hitler has developed for
American consumption . 15.point
propaganda policy since the Pearl
Harbor attack, which is designed to
confuse and hamper our war effort,
the ONCE of Facts and Figures de-
clareG yesterday. 1t issued q PAM
phlet entitled, Divide and Conquer"
which said the NaZis work hard now
to make us believe these Is things:
Democracy is dying.
Our armed forces are weak
The New Order is inevitable.
We are lost in the Pacific
Our West Coast is in such grave
danger that there is no point In
fighting on abroad.
The British are decadent. The
British sold us bill of goods"
Bankruptcy The Cost
The cost of the war will bankrupt
the United States.
Civilian sacrifices will be more
than We can bear.
Stain is getting too strong, and
Bolshevism will sweep over Europe.
Our leaders are incompetent, and
our government is incapable of wag-
ing war.
Aid to our Allies must stop.
Our real peril is the japanese,
and we must join Germany to
stamp out the yellow Peril"
We must bring all our troops and
weapons back to the United States,
and defend only our own shores.
The Chinese and the British will
make separate peace with Japan and
Germany.
American democracy will be lost
during the war.
The pamphlet says that through
the strategy of deceit. Hitler sue
ceeded in duping many loyal Ameri-
cans before Pearl Harbor. and
adds:
War has only intensified the bar
rage of propaganda. Day after day
the Axis short waves pour false
hoods into the United States. Hit
Ter communicates with his agents
here by these shortwave broad
casts
Listening to the programs, they
learn the current propaganda line
and Immediately act upon it, spread
ing rumors that leave the impress
sion on American minds that Hit
Ter wishes to leave. Since the war
began German short waves have
shouted of barricades in the streets
of Washington, of panic on the
stock market, Of exaggerated losses
at Pearl Harbor and throughout the
Pacific. ."
ITO destroy our national unity.
create unrest in all groups of the
population and defect us from our
major purpose-the defeat of the
Axis-Hitler is trying to set capital
against labor. Catholic sgainst
Protestant. Christian against Jew.
He knows that prejudice, in any
form. plays his game.
Controlling the sources Of news
in every occupied country. and often
in neutral nations, he releases only
such news as he wants us to read.
He will try to play upon our fears,
raise our hopes, confuse and be-
wilder us.
His trategy will follow no set
pattern. One line will be pursued
today, another tomorrow. But al
ways his broad aims will be the
same: To separate us from our allies
by arousing distrust Of them; to
create friction within the United
States in order to divert us from our
true enemy-the Axis; to paralyze
our will to fight

speak to our enemies. Il hope
there is no death penalty for lis
tening tc ones country's own
broadcasts.)
Having INDUCED in this faint
ly seditious occupation on numer-
Gus occasions, I confess that I do
not know what we are up to.
Our news to Germany, for in
stance, Is sometimes very dra-
matte, If drama consists In it
being uttered by various voices
in drama of the-air technique.
But If you ask me what is the
political line. do not know the
answer.
Listening to our broadcasts to
Italy I have been somewhat
clearer, but not, I confess, hap
pier. For it seems that as far
as Italy is concerned, we are
playing up the House of Savoy
against Mussolini, and hoping for
a revolt from the most reaction
ary and moribund elements in
Italy. 1t would seem that the
British and the Americans are
the last people on this globe who
place faith in Victor Emmanuel.
MOrass Lies in Path,
In fact, we can fall into the
most hopeless political morass
through a lack of clear under
standing of the real dynamics OF
social forces in Europe. If, for
instance, we intend to outbid the
Nazis in appeals to reactionary
elements, we will certainly fail.
for the Nazis are playing with far
more active forces than tottering
monarchies, decadent aristoc-
racies and political groups that
are out Of power through their
demonstrated weakness and in
capacity.
Yet we are playing with them
and apparently on the thesis
that we should offer hope to all
the disgruntled, regardless Of
who they are.
But effective propaganda cam
not be made this way. The
Axis knows it. 1t is true, for
instance, that Japan tells a
great many fatty contradictory
stories and makes a great many
contradictory promises. But she
does not make contradictory
promises to the same listeners.
She says one thing to the Chi
nese, another to the Malayans,
another to the Dutch In the
Netherlands East Indies and still
another to the Australians. But
she so beams her propaganda
that the Australians cannot hear
what she is saying to the Dutch
and Chinese. Therefore the
contradictions are not caught, ex-
cept as the Allies catch them
and retransmit them.
Everything we send to one
European country can be heard
by everybody in Europe-as far
as the wave length reaches.
And to whatever country we
broadcast, sour words must be
such that they reach and re-
feet the mental tendencies Of
the broadest part OF the popula-
ton,

The Great Game of Politics
Henderson Declared Not Politically Strong Enough
To Put Teeth Into Price Ceiling Program

would have lost his essential presi-
Dental support, because in the White
House there is no disposition to
stand firmly against the labor and
farm lobbies which insist that their
groups must not be restrained or
restricted. AS result, Mr.. Hender-
sons operations have been futile
and foolish. No sooner has he estab-
lished price ceilings than they have
been busted by the upsurge of wages
and farm prices. The whole price
control effort has reached a silly
stage.
Last week one Of the great hotels
of America got the following letter.
from one of the great beef-and-
packing firms of the country:
Gentlemen" it said, confirming
your order OF August II, we are
extremely sorry we are unable to
fill your order, due to unusual con-
ditions now prevailing in our in
dustry.
With all our products frozen at
March ceiling prices and no CELL
ing at all on livestock, which rep
resents "a cents of every dollar of
sales, to continue business as we
have done in the past will entail a
tremendous loss. Consequently, we
have materially reduced our hog and
cattle kill, and, naturally, we have
to discontinue selling many Of our
items"
Farm Products Are Different.
I'VE assure you that If relief Is
granted and we can again operate
without loss, we shall be happy to
take care of your requirements.
This hotel has been buying $4,000
Of pork products annually from this
concern. Now, 1t cannot buy any
thing. Why? The answer is that,
forced to accept Mr.. Henderson's
ceilings on its manufactured prod
uct, with no ceiling at all for the
raw product it has to purchase,
bankruptcy would be inevitable If
business were continued.
Prodded by numerous such
cases, Mr.. Henderson has asked
permission" of the Secretary of
Agriculture to establish a price on
livestock He has not got the per-
mission and he has not established
the price. Nor will he. Under the
present law, at any time he can slap
a ceiling on any manufactured
product. But when 1t comes to farm
products that is different. Here no
action can be taken until a most
favorable level is reached-in most
cases ITO per cent OF parity"
But, even then, permission from
the Secretary of Agriculture must be
obtained. The result, of course, is
that no price ceiling on raw farm
products is possible. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Henderson establishes ceilings
on manufactured farm products and
the Government expects these firms
to carry on as usual. 1t just does
not add up. 1t just does not make
sense. 1t never will make sense
until the man at the top makes his
attitude conform with experience,
sincerity and common sense.

In spite of speculations and
hints which followed announce
ment of the Moscow conversa-
tions between Premier Stain,
Prime Minister Churchill and
President Roosevelt's representa-
ton, w. Averell Hartman, 1t is
highly improbable that anything
more than intensified air attacks
against the Reich and the con-
Quered territories will take place
this year. Weather conditions in
Western Europe will not permit
major operations there after Sep
tember l.
At the same time, however, it
is admitted in military and po-
litical quarters that continuation
of the purely defensive strategy
will only harm the morale Of the
United Nations. And since no
offensive is possible in any other
zone of operations outside the
Pacific, it is expected that Gen.
Macarthur and Admiral Ghorm-
ley will be given the necessary
reinforcements to enable them to
continue operations which have
been fully successful, If costly.
Australia In Less Peril.
Ever since the fall OF Singa-
pore and the Netherlands Indies,
American and British strategists
have been worried about Aus
tralia. It was obvious that the
Japanese would attempt to re-
move that thorn in their side in
order to make sure OF their gains
in the Southwest Pacific. The
Japanese could not consider their
victory complete until the Aus
trahan threat to their fanks was
removed.
Occupation of the Bismarck
and Solomon archipelagoes and
part Of New Guinea was intended
to prevent the United States from
rushing supplies to Australia and
making that continent impreg-
nable against attack. The Japa-
nese general staff could not risk
an all-out attack against the con-

knew. In return, Mr. nelson tellS
one and all that Leon" is one of
the ablest men he ever met in his
life.
They both may be right. Clearly,
it is to their mutual advantage to
paint that sort of portrait of each
other and their publicity agents
have rushed to proclaim it. They
are in much of the same field,
clothed with unaccustomed power
and assigned to jobs for which they
lack training and experience. What
ever the effect of journalistic boost
ing on the uninformed, no posted
person really thinks either Of these
officials Is as big as he Is pictured
by the other. That. as an old and
shrewd POLITICAL leader used to say,
is the "phonus bolognus prinfus. y
II measured by any yardstick
other than the one they themselves
employed, Messrs. Nelson and Hen
derson would check very short, In
deed. Evidences of the Nelson lack
of foresight are CLOSED over by
those who hold that one must
swallow without gagging whatever
any man does or does not do, once
he is installed as Presidential aide.
Possibly, this journalistic insistence
will enable Mr.. Nelson to get by
with what Theodore Roosevelt used
to call the feeble -forceful" way
in which he is managing the WPB.
Futile and Foolish.
So far as Mr.. Henderson Is con-
cerned, If 1t we're not for its tragic
aspect, his situation would be ridic-
ulous. Here is man, with vast
authority, charged with the duty of
keeping down the cost Of living and
averting the major disaster of inf1a-
ton. There is no sensible person
who does not agree that success for
such an undertaking is possible only
if real stabilization of wages and
food products is coupled with a tax
alton program that will drain off
the vast purchasing power which
has gone to the lowest income
groups as result of the i'm
mense war expenditures.
Intelligent enough to know this,
Mr.. Henderson is not politically
strong enough to insist upon it. The
excuse Is that had he done so he

results than elsewhere, will re-
quire a much greater effort by
the United States. 1t may mean
the bulk of our production Of war
material particularly planes -
and the major portion Of the
United States Navy will have to
be concentrated against the
Japs in order to evict them from
the territories they occupied In
their quick drive a few months
ago as we'll as to harass their
communication lines.
It may mean that for the next
few months we shall have to
mark time as far as the Atlantic
front is concerned. Whether
this will be possible in view Of
the internal political situation
remains to be seen.
There is no doubt in the minds
OF our foremost strategists that
the roots Of United Nations VIC
tory lie in the Pacific.

The Allies first objective in
the Pacific has been attained
and the forces under Gen. Doug
las Macarthur and Vice Admiral
Robert Lee Ghormley are prepar-
ing to proceed with further oper-
ations in the Solomon Islands
area.
1t can be fairly assumed that
superior United States -Austral-
ian naval forces are watching for
a surprise attack by the Japanese
navy based in the Carolines while
necessary repairs and replace
ments for our forces are being
rushed.
Unless political considerations
chiefly the commitments exist
ing between the heads of the
three principal United Nations
come into play again, it is safe to
forecast that this initial sue
cess in Australian waters will be
followed up as soon as possible.

tinent until it had succeeded In
severing the lines Of communica-
ton between New Zealand, Aus
tralia and the West Coast. The
Coral Sea and Midway battles
had the same purpose; to inter-
cept the lines Of communication
between Australia and North
America.
Reoccupation OF the principal
Solomon Islands has considerably
lessened the danger to Australia.
To complete the picture it will
be necessary for American-Aus-
tralian forces to clean up the
remaining Japanese In New
Guinea, an operation which is
expected to start shortly.
Reinforcement Vital.
II the ideas of most OF our
naval strategists are followed. 1t
is likely that important sea, air
and land operations will continue
through Austraia's summer,
which officially begins next De-
cember, with the purpose Of Gre
ating greater elbow room for our
forces out there. In some quar-
ters. which are not overimpressed
by Japanese efficiency and power,
it is believed that energetic pros
ecution OF our offensive in the
South Pacific might by the end
of the year bring our forces back
into control OF areas they held
last winter.
The paramount need to sup
port continued operations in the
Southwest Pacific is rapid REIN
forcements in men and materials.
They must reach Gen. Macarthur
and Admiral Ghormley at the
earliest moment.
It Is 5000 miles from our West
Coast to Australia. The distance
seems enormous, but Is only about
half as great as the water route
which must be followed between
