10Th, it ran to thirty pages, eight
columns per page, and nowhere
was there an inch of space to be
spared on the follow up of one
of the most dreadful crimes the
world has. known since the days
of Adolf Hitler.
Of course, it was not to be ex-
pected that any of the filth-fold-
-ers, such as the New York Jour-
nal American, the New York
Daily News, and the Chicago
Tribune would devote any space
to this incident. They are far too
busy whipping up a frenetic
hatred of the Soviet Union, and
those columns which can be spar
ed from the spreading of lies
about the one socialist country
on the face of this earth are de-
voted to special causes.
YOU may recall that the Hearst
papers, only short while ago,
carried out a fearless and glori-
Gus campaign against vivisection.
These newspapers which do not

flying murder of two Negro wom-

ton of mfantile paralysis.
At such a moment, the Hearst
papers literally whipped them
selves into a frenzy to have New
York State pass an anti-vivisec-
ton law.
But underneath surface-vulgari-
ties and suEface-refinements. the
New York Herald Tribune and
the New York Journal American
are not SO far apart. In the case
of both papers, their mouthings
of such fine words as democracy,
freedom, liberty. equality, oppor-

the words, is the structure behind

wins thoughts on public opinion.
In his long, tedious, and none too
intelligent article, he bulwarks
every-or almost every-reaction-
airy move of American govern
ment with the statement that it
expresses public opinion. For ex-
ample:
'9THE threatened railroa d
strike" Professor Nevins writes,
evoked dramatic explosion of
public opinion. Few observers
can doubt that the country rose
in overwhelming strength behind
President Truman's insistance
that the strike call be revoked. ="
Note the familiar weasel
speech i'm which this incredible
statement is framed. Few OBJ
servers" indeed!
It seemed to me that the Tru-
man "slave-labor" act was defeat
ed because public opinion let it
be known that this was the first
step to fascism. 1t seemed to me
that several million letters and
kilograms attacking this bill
poured into Congress and the
White House.
1T also seems to me that there
are at least thirty million wage
carriers in America, and that with
their families they make up a
considerable section of public
opinion. had also heard some
where that at least thirteen nil
lion of them are organized into
trade unions. What about their
opinion?
This, of course, is the Oppo-

Cormick yellow journalism.

genteel class to distortion.
Both methods have their uses.
One might ask Professor Me-
wins some questions, if space per-
mitted, such as: how many labor
leaders he spoke to in assessing
public opinion? how many work
ers? how many progressives?
etc. ETC. One might ask him, in
deed, if he ever spoke to a work
err at all?
But the important fact to be
noted is that only in such young
and struggling papers as "T'he

ed by the people, for the people
is there any such thing as free
dom of the press. The monopoly
press of America neither serves
the public nor reflects its opin-
ion.
Public opinion in America will
not forget the dreadful crime
against humanity that took place
in Georgia, any more than it will
forget the Truman Bill, which
Professor Nevins so cheerfully
and glibly mentions. Public opin-

following sentence of the two labor

The two men were sentenced by
Judge Harry F. Kennedy of Civil

and fined $3.50 each on charges of
assaulting Fred Kirchner, former
president Of the Central Labor
Union and now State labor inspector
for Northern Virginia, at a recent
meeting Of the union. The sentences
were given under the State code.
Judge Kennedy also sentenced the
men to 80 days in jail on charges
of minor assault under the city code,
but specified that the two jail SEN
tences should run concurrently. In
addition he fined both men $500 on
a disorderly conduct charge, but

six months thereafter, the late
President Roosevelt indicated an in

notes sent to the State Department
After the Monterey Conference
however, at which Mr.. Roosevelt and
President Camacho of Mexico
worked out a different plan for
building an aviation gasoline re-
flnery in the southern republic
Mr.. Thornburg testified that in
structions came from the White
House, through former Undersecre-
tary of State Sumner Welles, that
the President was not interested in
any project or any mans contract
but was interested in the aviation
plant on which he had made the
agreement with President Camacho
Explains Different Plans
Mr. Thornburg pictured himself
as holding out against the Pauley
plan during series of State De-
partment conferences because he
believed it was too unfavorable to
Mexico, and, for that reason, would
also react eventually against the
group Of applicants.
According to the witness the diff
ference between the two plans was
that, under the Monterey agree
ment, Mexico was to borrow funds
froy,o tho p,oricor Goyarpy,oopt r.
build the aviation gasoline plant
after open competitive bidding, and
therefore, would own the plant
Under the other proposal, he said
the plant would have been privately
built and the hackers of the plan
would have been allotted a percent
age of the output.
Senator Tydings, Democrat OF
Maryland interrupted to observe
however, that under the Pauley
plan Mexico would not have lowed
anybody for the cost of the plant
and would have received a percent
age of the aviation gasoline"
In describing the long discussion
of the Pauley proposal in the State
Department, Mr.. Thornburg said
that on one occasion the depart
ment got "a particularly sharp
memo from the White House, and
former Secretary Hull called con-
ference at which, according to the
witness, he said he had to tell the
President about the delay.
Il suggested maybe the President
didn't know all the details, and that
it was high time the State Depart
ment told him why 1t was not sp-
proved" said Mr.. Thornburg.
Tells of Ickes' Change.
He said Mr.. Hull asked him to
prepare q statement of the reasons
the plan had not been approved
after which another meeting was
held with Mr.. Ickes. Mr.. :. Thorn
burg said Mr.. Ickes wanted to know
why he opposed the project. The
witness said that when he explained
the terms of the contract Mr.. Ickes
agreed with him, and turned to
Ralph X. Davies. the deputy admin
istrator of PAW, to inquire why
Mr.. Davies had not told him the de-
tails. Mr.. Thornburg quoted Mr.
Davies as replying he had not
known them. After that. Mr.. Thorn

ut had an instant response" Mr..
Thornburg continued. The Presi-
dent called Mr.. Welles over, and
when Mr.. Welles came back it was
with instructions that he was not
interested in any project or any
mans contract, but was interested
in the aviation plant on which he
had made the agreement"

witness to describe a luncheon he
had with Mr.. Pauley sometime In
May, 1943, after the Monterey Con-
ference, but while the issue was

20 Minutes to Decide.
Mr.. Thornburg replied that Mr..
Pauley reasoned and argued with
me about my opposition" He told
the committee that, ED is never
subtle when he has a point to
make" and then he quoted Mr..
Pauley as saying, time is running
against me-" Mr.. Thornburg then
quoted Mr.. Pauley as saying:
II have an appointment at the
White House in 20 minutes. You
have the same length of time to
remove your opposition or words
to that effect. or liquidation.
Senator Brewster, Republican of
Maine, asked the witness If he con-
strued the word liquidation" as
referring to his JOB, and the wit
ness agreed. The Senator said he
thought, in making such a charge,
the witness should try to give the
conversation as exactly as possible.
Mr.. Thornburg said he had quoted
it as nearly as he could.
Senator Tobey asked If that was
an uitimatum, and the witness re-
piled, pretty close to it." The
Senator from New Hampshire sug-
gested it might be called "Pauley
personalized pressure"
Mr.. Thornburg said that prior to
this luncheon he had been told by a
Government official, while attending
a social function, that Mr.. Pauley
wanted him removed from the Oil
Foreign Policy Committee.
Resigned in August, 1943.
The witness said he could see
what was coming and told Mr.. Hull
and Mr.. Welles that if it ever
looked like he was becoming more
of burden to the State Depart
ment than it could carry, to let
him know. Later on, he said, a
high official, whom he did not
name, gave him such an intima-
ton, and in August, l943, he
resigned.
