BY BILL ALEXANDER

Radio writer Joan Harris, in a
letter published in The Star re-
Gently, took issue with this col
umn's criticism of radio. We're 60
ing to take time out this week to
agree and disagree.
To our lament that a trend
away from high cultural stand
ards in radio was evident, Miss
Harris assented that radio is bad
ly in need of a cultural shot in
the arm" On that we agree.
Miss Harris, however, believed
that our criticism was too sweep
ing, that it did not take into ac-
count certain outstanding pro
grams. She was right, we are
forced to admit. Our basic pre-
mise remains true, but we should
perhaps have pointed out excep-
tons.
MISS HARRIS went farther.
She declared that her whole
quarrel with this columns view
point in attacking-to use her own
words-"radio's faults on the basis
of gigantic plot to delude the
people, rather than properly as a
cultural medium which has to date
been too content to accept second
rate material 1adled out by the adj
Vertising agencies whose only goal
is money and to hell with any
thing else"
Miss Harris is mistaken. No
where in the column of July IL
did we use the word "plot." We
did not use it, because pilot" i'm
plies group of persons who con-
spire together to gain an objec-
tive. That was not the under
standing we tried to convey.
Let's get down to a fundamental
discussion Of radio.
RADIO. like motion pictures, the
stage, newspapers, and books, is
basically an instrument of public
information. To large degree it
influences public thought.
Who controls radio? The same
moncpolists who own motion
pictures. the stage. newspapers.
and books. There exists an in
tricate interviewer web of finan-
cial interests linking all of these
outlets into major. loosely
connected propaganda machine.
as proved by the Freedom of
the Press Commission.
The major failing of radio to-
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-08-02

Why radio doesn't
tell the truth

day is that it does not tell the
truth. 1t pictures, at best, middle
class America-usually upper class
America. Labor is practically ig-
nored, unless it is represented as
a drunken, immoral, vicious, or
criminal element.
When part of the truth is sup
pressed, all of the truth is sup
pressed, because the whole can
not exist without the part. A dis
torted picture is presented when
part of the truth is suppressed,
and that distortion influences ali
of our thinking.
Big Business fights labor on
many fronts. not under the mas
fer plan of plot" but under
the pressure of economic. politi-
cal. and social forces toward
which all monopolists have more
or less the same relationship.
Thus the Taft-Hartley act is
passed. Thus anti-Jewish and anti
Negro sentiments are fostered to
divide the people. Thus the false
picture of an America where, as
j. P. Morgan would have US be-
lieve, 100000 families have
one or more maids" is painted, in
an effort to white-wash monopoly
enterprise.
As an organ of Big Business,
radio must inevitably reflect that
attitude. Its dramas almost always
take place in homes where maid
is employed. Almost always Ne
groes are portrayed in an inferior
position. The struggles of the peo-
pie, especially labor, against mo-
nopoly are ignored.
That is why you will not hear
a radio drama in which high prices
or slave labor laws are men
toned, Miss Harris. That is why
you will not hear a drama in
which a Negro is the hero. That
is why radio accepts "second-rate
material" as you say.
Radio is a weapon in the re-
dictionaries fight against the
people not because of a mYs-
ferrous plot" but because the
Big Business owners of radio
unanimously expect TO profit
from a victory in their fight to
crush the people.
