Even today, when a more
realistic approach is made to
propaganda problems. the poll

short of desirable. It's basic aim
seems to be to 'sell' American
democracy abroad. 1t Is hard
to conceive how much more
democracy can be absorbed by
countries like Great Britain and
France, since many of our own
democratic institutions are pat
termed after those old countries.
The Russians, who are our
principal target, just do not un-
derstand what 1t is all about,
even if they do hear the Voice.
The bulk of the Russian people
have never known Western
style freedom and democracy.
Ever since Russia became a

the absolutist regime Of the

The Russian switch from
Czarism to Bolshevism has not

a long time. Unaware, through
out their history, Of what real
freedom meant, they accepted
the new tyranny very much in
the way peoples in the Western
countries accept a change from
conservative to liberal admins
trations.
The fact that the Russians
have no voice in the selection of
their government does not affect
the mentality of the peasants

such a choice before, except in
a limited way for short period

Russia.

Feature stories in magazines

and progress of this program
and the immediate need for fur
ther expansion.
This publicity is considered
essential to soften up members

cism recently leveled at the

1t Is Difficult to Say Whether Garrison
In Europe Can Deter Red Aggression

The still unconsidered ques-
rtion is whether the plan to
station an American standing
army of about 100000 men in
Europe will. or will not, be a
deterrent to a general war. Sec
retary of Defense Marshall. in
his statement to the Senate
Committee February Is, twice

pose. eve are not building these
stronger forces for any aggres-
sive purpose. .. Our aim is
primarily to deter aggression
If that be possible" and what
we want above everything else
is a certain freedom of
action to establish a deterrent
against the development Of a
general war"
No one can say whether this
thesis, on which the whole case
for establishing a large and ap-
parently permanent American
garrison in Europe rests, will
prove correct. In the one place
where a similar action has been
taken it did not prove a deter
rent. The landing of a large
force in Korea CATER, to be sure,
an aggression had been COM
mittedD did not deter the North
Koreans from continuing their
war, nor result in their yielding
to cease-f1re order, nor prevent
Red China from entering the
war on the side of the aggres-
sors-against what the Com
munists call "an aggressive in
vasion of foreign troops"
Whether, therefore. the land
ing of large American army
in Europe will be received by
the U. S. S. r., the East Euro
pean Communist states, and the
Communist parties of Western
Europe with caution, or whether
they will act before or after
1t happens. on the argument
that it is an external provoca-
tion to be deferred. is a political
question at least worth serious
weighing.
That all the Communist
parties Of Europe, together with
their peace followers, will ex-
plot the decision to the fullest
goes without saying. The absence
of Russian troops and the pres
ence of Americans is distinctly
In the Russian favor, from the
political warfare viewpoint. An
"Ami go home!" propaganda for
for peace will be furiously waged
in dnnumerable demonstrations.

nately works both ways in a
world where each Of two great
blocs Is picturing the other as
planning aggression and prepar-
ing for aggressive war.

as a deterrent, leaving great
political factors out Of account.
Despite the extraordinary Sc
mantics of the age, whereby we
have peace enforcement and not
war in Korea, people in general
do not view the landing and mo-
bilization Of armies as a con-
tribution to peace, or even to
security until or unless all roads
to obtaining a reasonable and
equitable settlement have been
earnestly explored.

against the scattering Of a large

hicles for propaganda. They
could make speeches at the
U. N. or they could start more
propaganda blasts on the peace
front and achieve as much
publicity.
The real reason might well be
sought in some other direction.
The Russian dictatorship is
fearful Of the tension being
created in the Western world.
News Of the program for re-
armament of Germany must in
evitably percolate through TIE
Iron Curtain countries. Ger
tainly it is being talked about
in the satellite states.
While the great debate" in
the United States Senate Is pri-
marily domestic in its origin,
the fact remains that any pub
lie discussion of how many
American divisions are to be
sent to Europe brings up the
question of how many divisions
the European countries are
about to mobilize. And when
there's any mobilization going
on, European nations always
feel nervous - and dictators
particularly so.
The probability is that the
Politburo is aware Of the appre-
tensions being stirred among
their own people generally as
a result of the rearmament
planning Of the Western allies.
To offset this. the Russian gov
ernment must reassure its people
that certainly there is no in
tention on its part to start a
war. This means that more
emphasis must be placed by
the Russian rulers on the peace
full intentions" Of the Soviet
regime, and no better way can
be devised than to call a formal

ism. In any event. they were a
small minority in a country with

The peoples Of the satellite
countries where the Voice pene-
trates get large daily doses Of
theology from their Moscow
picked rulers. The variety pro-
vided by the Voice-with musi-
cal accom- mpaniment-ma be
more acceptable. Our radio
propagandists extol not only the
blessings Of freedom. but also
the advantages of living in a
free country like America.
Sometimes these talks are
reminiscent Of the advertising
campaigns conducted by Brit
ish. German and Italian ship
ping lines. which sought to fill
up steerage space with immi-
grants to the land Of oppor-
tunity around the turn of the
century. And Wien some lucky
Czech or Hungarian manages to
escape from the blessings" Of
the Communist state, he finds
himself as rule ineligible for
immigration to the United
States.
BY and large the Voice pro-
grams are theological. Assum-
edly on instructions from high
erups in the State Department.
the Voice seldom attacks the
oppressors of the people with
bare knuckles. It's broadcasts
are always kid-gloved. Russian

no punches, however. It is
always aggressive in dealing
with Western institutions and
particularly with the men who
run them.
Name-calling may not be nice.
