mittee for the Commissioner of
Mines office and also for assay of
fices under the same department
Board of Budget had okehed a
request for $4,000 for the Commits
sioner's office, $4,000 for assay Of
fices. The Committee recommended
$4,000 for the Commissioners Of
flee. and $4,000 for the assay office
After hearing Commissioner B

House okehed another 5000 which

MANY an old-time art is being

0f0verseds Propaganda
Axis Has Employed Elaborate Means to Get
Its Views Across to Neutral Nations;
U. S. Must Use Press and Radio.
BY BAUKHAGE
NetUs analyst and Commentator,

picture was worshiped all over Eu-
rope. as the symbol of the leader of
nation coming to Eberate 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 a Nazi victory would
be.
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
struggled 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. It 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

VI 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
broadcasts 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
It 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
uganda has curtailed this power,
has swung many people from pro-
Axis to a pro-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
tete-a-tete with Darlan which his
tory will probably disclose was less
a 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.
