eve are in the midst of an on
slaught of psychological warfare
launched by the Germans in their
effort to win the war on the po-
1itical front, now that they are
fighting losing battle on the mil
itary 'front.'" Hans Jacob declared
in his talk to the Community Fo-
rum last night. Both his back
ground and experience have made
him extremely we'll qualified to
speak on the subject of psychology
cal warfare. He is credited with
having given more than 10000 an
THAI broadcasts both in this
country and in France. His knowl-
edge of five languages has quail
fled him as an interpreter at many
important international conferen-
ces where he became acquainted
with the diplomats of many ma
tons. >
To the question posed by the
subject of his lecture, "Can prop
uganda help win the warp, Mr..
Jacob answered in the affirma-
tive. pointing out however, that if
used by the Germans and if I'm
checked, propaganda can lose the
war. Propaganda is the last real
weapon the Germans possess, Mr..
Jacob explained. All the forces of
reaction in this country, all the
voices which cry out for nego-
tiated peace, which deplore the
cost of an invasion, and stir up
racial prejudices, are using Ger
many's weapon of psychological
warfare. They are using Nazi tech
niques and are creating the disuni-
ty that Germany seeks to foster.
This psychological warfare carried
on by the Germans, is not only an
attempt to win the peace for Ger
many, but an attempt to prepare
the ground for World War III.
Proof that Germany is now pre-
pairing for the latter is evidenced
by an article published by the
Elite Guard which urged German

spite the bombing of Germany for
the reason that in another twenty
years their boys could become

Mr.. Jacob reminded his listen
ers of the importance of Spain
which was being used by Hitler as
springboard for launching pro-
paganda attack on the Western
Hemisphere via South America he
referred to he fall of France
as an example of the effective
ness of Nazi propaganda techni-
ques.
In order OF counterfeit the Ger
man ropaganda of lies we must
meet it with our propaganda of
truth. The word propaganda" has
always had an unfavorable con-
notation in this country and we
have associated it with lies and
deception, but he pointed out that
we must go back to the original
meaning Of the word derived from
Latin which means to spread
ones IDEAS. We must send out a
bsrrage of truth to the conquered
territories using all the media at
our disposal, pamphlets, radio
broadcasts, etc. He mentioned
that broadcasts are extremely eff
fective and that more and more
people are listening to them de-
spite the death penalty which has
been imposed by the Nazis for en-
gaging in this activity.
We must seek to reestabllsh the
truths about democracy which the
Nazis have distorted.W must make
clear to the Europeans, and to
Americans too, our war ana
peace aims and must break down
the wall which Hitler built to keep
the truth out Of Germany and the
countries he has conquered.
After his lecture an interesting
discussion was held by MIR. Jacob
and the members of the forum.

think that is necessary, because think
the merit of this amendment is self
evident" The amendment" passed.
A super-duper thriller like this has
to have a motive for the murder of
the soldier vote lurking somewhere in
its pages. The best clue was given by
senator, Rufus Holman from Ore
gon, who said blunt1y that the Repub-
licans would be for a federal ballot
if President Roosevelt would announce
that he is not candidate for a fourth
term.
This record doesn't end with a
moral. That will be supplied ON
election day when organized labor
and all the people with friends and
relations in the armed forces march
to the polls. Well venture one more
prediction. The Republicans who
are drunk with power now are GO
ing to wind up with a terrific hang

On TheScene
In
Washington
By Miriam KOlkin

WASHINCTON-If we could af-
ford it, we'd send every union
member in the United States a
bound leather copy of the Congress
sional Record, dated Feb. 8, 1914,
with careful instructions as to its
use.
The volume would probably
have to carry a label, marked,
Warning! IL read in large doses,
will make the blood boil, the teeth
clench and the language foul. With
that hazard made clear, the pre-
scription would proceed - Recon-
mended for reading well in advance
of election day.
We freely predict tremendous
circulation for the book, partic.
ularly among members of union
political action committees and
members of the armed forces. For
this is the record which tells the
whole story of how IFS Republi-
cans and 48 Democrats in the
House stopped 10 million soldiers,
sailors, marines and merchant sea-
men from voting in the 1914 cleo
ton.
Of course, the book isn't as exciting
as the show itself, which ran for
more than 10 hours. 1t doesn't quite
convey the background noise, for in
stance-a din of daucous laughter
shouts, boos and jeers which grew
louder as the Republicans grew more
braZen.
But the contents do fall into
pattern and central character,
somebody called Rankin from Miss
issippi, energies after a while. He
is apparently a strong personality.
He makes rulings for the chair, he
announces that nobody can go
home until his bill is passed, he
limits debate to one hour on the
WOrley federal ballot bill-which
some people, including the Presi-
dent of the United States, consid-
cred pretty good bill-and he
cuts off debate every time Demo-
crat opens his mouth.
This Rankin is Democrat, too, but
that's just geographical accident be-
cause Joe Martin. the Republican
leader, loves. him like brother.
The union times. (New Haven, Conn.) 1941-1948, 1944-02-12

Another point the record gets across
is that once the Worley bill was de
feated, pandemonium broke loose. As
fast as the Democrats introduced
amendments, the Republicans intoxi-
Gated with the idea of their unbeatable
strength rejected them. If a Demo-
crat had rashly introduced a motion
saying the earth moves, the Republi-
cans would have shouted it down.
On the other lind, the Republi-
ems got their amendments through
without even having them read or
discussed. There's one interesting
bit of dialogue between Herbert C..
Bonner d., N. CO. and Francis
Case (R., S. d.. Case had Just in
trOduced an amendment. Pointing
out that because of the terrific
noise and inattentiOn in the cham
Der nobody know what the amend
ment was about, Bonner suggested
that it would be wiser to discuss it
the following day.
