Can brotherhood, good citizen

commodities are sold, on television
and radio?
That was the challenging
problem tackled by DIR. G. D.
Wiebe, research psychologist, in
a paper titled Merchandising
Commodities and Citizenship on
Television and Radio" delivered
at the annual convention of the
American Psychological Associat-
ion in Chicago.
The answer to that blunt ques-
ton, according to DR.. Wiebe, who
is Research Psychologist for the
CHS Radio Division and a lecturer
in the Department of Psychology
of the City College of New York,
is that t~elevision and radio can,
under certain demonstrable con-
ditions, help achieve social and cul-
tural detectives, and get results
as measurable as commodity sales.

japan Gets Down Payment
On Her Price For Peace"

Unless the San Francisco treaty
is drastically amended, Japan will
be given a substantial "down-
payment on her price for peace"
and will be handed a bargaining
position that will enable it to
crack the whip for future conces-
sions from the West.

by the treaty.
He asserts that under the pre-

HAVING CONSIDERED these
conditions that characterize the
advertising and sale Of commo-
dities, DIR. Wiebe offers a prin-
ciple in the form of a hypothesis
''The success of mass persuasion,
in terms of motivating behavior"
he says, sis a function of the au-
dience members experience with
regard to five factors: (1) the
force, (2) the direction, 90 the
mechanism, az the adequacy and
compatibility, and (5) the dist
ance."
Using these five factors, DR..
Wiebe analyses four programs to
ASSAY the elements Of good mer-
chandizing. In a CHS war bond
selling campaign in 1943, all the
elements appear to have been pre-
sent and in good order. The force
of the motivation, the war effort,
was strong. The directions for
! getting to the mechanism, the me-
chanism itself and it's adequacy
| and compatibility, these factors
were in good order. Members OF
| the radio audience could pick up
their phones and order a bond
at their local CHS station. Trained
operators handled the calls at 1874
stations. Distance, both physical
and psychological, was minimized.
