Air Defense 400 Times AS Good

Rear Admiral William X. B. Bandy, chief of the
Naval Bureau of Ordnance says that modern battle
ships which bristle with anti-arcraft defense, have
new guns which hurl sixty times much metal
did the ships before Pearl Harbor and, with better
fre-contro devices and explosive Shells 100 times
good"
He cited the of battleship which cred
tied with shooting down 80 Jap planes in 80 minutes
and another instance where modern battleship, at
tackled by 80 to 40 planes shot down between oneouh
and one-haf. Gunfre terrific, he stated, that
of the Jap planes jettisoned their bombs before
reaching the ship, turned tail and flew home.
While admitting that battleship may sink, after
being hit by armor piercing bomb the Admiral
expressed his confidence that the American Navy will
suffer no Prince of Wales Repulse disaster. He
said ship defenses and aerial protection could beat off
any Japanese attacks.
The Admirals views reveal the great improve
ment made in protecting warshps from aerial attacks
through the development of increased antiarcraft fire.
This is not so remarkable when recalls that before
this began, Navy possessed batteship built
for modern warfare. Practically all our big ships
Of the era of the first World War.
1t may also be surmsed from what the admiral
stated that the fleet in the Far East has been ire
mendousy reinforced with the best of battleshps
in service The probability is that most of the Wash
ngton class under Admiral Hasey and it is not be-
yond the possibility that of newest 45000ton
batteshps is within fighting distance of the Japanese
fleet.

Axis to a Pr Ally attitude The
persecution of the Catholic church in
Germany has been used effectively
in Spain.
OF course, this isn't the whole
story of propaganda. All is fair in
love and war and some pretty pre-
carious tight-rope walking is some
times done-witness democracy's
tete-a-tete with Darlan which his
tory will probably disclose was less
desertion of democratic political
methods than waving of the Queens
berry rules Of gallant combat. We
can't expect the Allies to show their
hands to the enemy and there is no
use disturbing the squeamish by
revealing the possible although not
entirely immaculate condition which
might arise from graphing with an
especially noisome enemy.
What Davis did not go into at this
meeting was the question of enemy
propaganda directed toward us.
That is a very delicate matter and
sometimes governments are willing
to give the enemy credit for the cir
culation of certain sentiments ex-
pressed by people who are just mad
at their own public servants and
are exercising the inherent right Of
grousing.
As said before, l am much more
interested in whether the propagan-
da job we are doing is effective.
AS to getting in puffs for the party
in power. that is up to the party
out of power to stop but one of the
inescapable advantages of being an
lin" in wartime is that you can
squelch some opposition on the
ground of patriotism. On the other
hard, there was never an admins
tration yet that wasn't thrown out
after a war so there is some COM
Observation-Disclosures, the party
of the opposition doesn't share the
blame for the mistakes.
Now that Governor Bricker has
announced that he expects the Ohio
delegation will support him as
favorite son candidate for the presi-
dency, politics will be raising its
lovely head in every headline.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, d. c.
The other day, Elmer Davis, head
Of the Office of War Information,
held a press conference. He opened
1t with the remark that we were
Witnessing an Uncle Toms Cabin
without the Simon Legree. didn't
get the significance Of the remark
until Davis explained that Repre-
sentative Tabor, who charged Mr..
Davis with using the Office Of War
Information to distribute propagan-
da for a fourth term, had been in
vited to share the conference but
had other duties.
Obviously, the purpose Of the
meeting was to show how the mon
ey for the publication of propaganda
was being spent and good deal Of
time was taken UP on comparative
costs Of British. American and Axis
propaganda efforts. If the owl car
ries out present plans, it will be
spending at the rate of As millions
Of dollars by the end of the year.
Britain, with its separate ministry
Of information, is spending much
more than we are-Germany prob
ably four or FIVE times as much.
That's rough estimate. But the
figures didn't interest me so much

to the meeting a little early and
had been studying the array of lit

parison with the expensive Axis
magazines but it costs only IS cents

Three things struck me as a re-
suit Of the conference: first, II there
is an even chance of obtaining the
results expected, the investment is
not worth quibbling about; second,
since Davis admits that material

Jan "First-Stringo Gone

Lieutenant General George c. Kenney, Commander
of Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific that the
quality Of japanese pilots has unquestonaly deteri
Grated"
General Kenney says that the Japanese "highy
skilled, frststring team is gone while first team
is just beginning to get into line"
The General Is in the United States, presumably
for the purpose wiring more planes for the South
west Pacific til war. While declining to say
directly, he adflN d that nobody would say that
he would not like to have more planes"
Undoubtedly, the General could use more airplanes
in the that he utilized his aviators to de-

ters unknown to the public and necessarily left to the
judgment of high command

Look Out. Farmers!

The average American may have the idea that the
farmer is about to get what is coming to him but
by the newspapers that another organization is being
launched to secure square deal for food producers
The moving spirits hint that it will be necessary
to indicate how the organization stands regarding po
litical candidates and frankly assert that 1--WE will
endorse friends and publcize the records of
who misrepresent the farmers position"
This is to us, indicating that the farmer
hasn't enough friends in Congress-. We have some
times suspected that the situation the other way
around and that the farmer the victim of the in
ability of his friends in Congress to get together.
The crisis it appears, is approaching. There will
be another organization to the farmer. It is
ALL hardly expect to please every farm organiza-
ton, regardless of which way they Jump vote.

How about results? That is pretty
hard to reduce to statistics or even
concrete statements. We know some
Japs have surrendered with our
propaganda leaflets in their hands.
We know that leaflets dropped over
occupied countries or pamphlets
smuggled in have started people
talking. owl has reports to this eff
feet. They say that this means that
the idea has been spread that Amer
lea is in touch with the people within
the occupied territory.
We know that some of these PAM
phlets have been photostated or cop
led in others and given further dis
tribution. 1t was stated that these
copies or excerpts from them have
even been circulated in prison
camps.
We know that from four to six
clandestine newspapers are made
up chiefly from Allied propaganda
material.
OF course, by no means all of the
owl propaganda is spread through
publications. In fact, the radio
broadcasts represent the greater
: part of the expenditure.
owl is confident that this radio
propaganda is not wasted as has
been charged although it is admit
ted that the listening audience is
being cut down as short-wave sets
are seized or wear out and the de-
probation is heavy. On the other
hand, it is known that the radio
breakfasts are repeatedly word
OF mouth and in clandestine PAM
phlets and newspapers.
The chief evidence that propagan-
da is reaching into Germany comes
from two sources; first, the speeches
of Goebbels and other German lead
ers who warn against black listen
ing-warning not to believe the for
eign propaganda-and, second, the
records of trials of persons arrest
ed for this black listening.
Effective in Turkey
1t is stated that American propa-
ganda has been effective in Turkey
because Turks believe it whereas
they have caught the Axis in too
many lies. Since publications print
ed in Turkish are still forbidden to
be sent into Turkey, the printing
has to be done there or the material
sent in in French or English
In Spain, it is said that in spite
of strong handicaps-that is. the
power of the Falangist party which
is openly pro-Axis-American prop

got into the Roosevelt sketch which
should not have and won't again, we
either ought to take Davis judg-
ment or else fire him. Thirdly, the
public hasn't had a chance to know
what the propaganda Is all about
and the criticism of one phase of it
utterly distorts the general picture
of the funeslen, purpose and value
of the owl effort.
In the first place, these publica-
tons under consideration are not
for our troops abroad or our people
at home = though I believe they
ought to be given some circulation
here simply SO that their function
is understood, at least when 1t is
compatible with the confidential ma
ture- Of some of the means of distri-
button in enemy countries.
1t is accepted as the duty and
function for one political party to
do all it can to discredit the leaders
of the other party-according to the
rules Of the game of politics-but,
as Davis quoted the Baltimore Sun,
you have to exploit your PERSONAL
ties. People mean a lot more than
mere ideas when you are trying to
make an impression. Roosevelt can
be played up as a powerful symbol
to people abroad without affecting
the political situation at home. That
was done effectively in the case Of
Woodrow Wilson in the last war, his
picture was worshiped all over Eu-
rope, as the symbol of the leader of
a nation coming to liberate them.
But when he came home, he couldn't
sell his program to the American
people.
Self Allied Cause
tried to find out what the OBJ
jective of the owl was, whether it
could show any results.
Purpose one is counter-attack. We
know what German propaganda has
done, first in softening countries
about to be invaded; second, to keep
neutrals leaning Nazi-ward. Owl
wants to fight fire with fire.
The second purpose is the same
as the first and more of it-not
merely to nullify enemy effort but
sell the prospect the idea that Amer.
lea can win and is winning the war
and that American victory will be a
greater selfish advantage to the
prospect than Nazi victory would
be.
