A Thought for Today
Goodbye, John

It is with complete absence of regret that we learn of the timely death of John Durfee, the OWpS conception of the little man who never was there. MT. Durfee was not the political commentator who said that the war will go on ven though the King of Italy should "usurp power :" In fact, so far as we can determine John Durfee never said anything because there wasn't any John Durfee any more than there is any D. c. Speaker or any expert on military affairs named Walter Herrick In land of 133 3,95OOOO persons, mostly vocal and all possessed of belligerent opinions on every subject, John Durfee and D. c. Speaker and Walter Herrick are figments of the imagination. For D. c. Speaker there is an excuse Highly placed and very authoritative federal officials frequently tell newspapermen facts for publication which, for reasons good or bad, must not be attributed to their source. So D. c. Speaker was coined as generic name for this type of inform ant. There was no secret about him-nO pretense that he lived and breathed and dreamed and thought as a mortal. His evanescence was matter of record from the beginning.
 But those guys Durfee and Herrick were ghosts of different chemistry. They were used only in foreign broadcasts by owl; the pretense was made that they actually existed; anG the idea seemed to be to trick our foreign listeners into be- lieving that here in the United States were recognized commentators of standing and repute-Durfee on politics and Her rick on military matters-who had ex- pressed opinions which were being quoted. Well, Durfee is dead. He passed away unquietly very soon after President Roose- welt learned about the "moronic little king" broadcast and his ostensble part in it. But Herrick still lives on.
 We shall not miss John Durfee. We shouldn't miss Walter Herrick We feel safe from an indictment for suborning homicide when we suggest that somebody stick blue pencil or a pair of scissors through Walter Herrick for the good of our foreign broadcasts. The ways of propaganda are strange and wonderful, but we are very certain that there is no legitimate viewpoint which the OWI, with soupcon of diligence, could not quote from legitimate, bona fide, flesh and blood commentators output. So goodbye, John, and not au revoir, we hope. Here's your hat, Walter. Don't miss your bus. We won't be seeing you again soon. Or shall we?
