Lippman has devoted several
thoughtful articles to an examin-
alton of the nature and efficacy
of American publicity methods
abroad. Unquestionably as time
goes on and the United States is
forced more and more to wage a
propaganda battle, the problem
will remain very much with us.
A few more remarks on the sub
ject may not be entirely amiss.
In the first place, ] find my
self alarmed by the fact that our
people simply refuse-or at least
have refused in the past-to call
things by their right names. Ev-
cry subterfuge and euphemism
in the English language has been
trotted out to avoid the use of
the plain word propaganda"
Not Propaganda
During my days with the State
Department how shocked some
of my colleagues were-and, far
worse, some of my superiors-
when l spoke of our propaganda
program abroad. All other ma
tions employ propaganda, to be
sure, but never the United
States! We would never be guilty
of anything that even remotely
srnacked of influencing opinioni
Whatever we did was public re-
lations," cultural contacts" in
tellectual interchange" or some
thing of the sort. Propaganda
was for cynics like the French,
imperialists like the British,
Sordid expansionists like the Ger
mans or subtle Italians such as
infested the Vatican; but Amer
leans simply could not indulge in
anything so unsavory as propa-
ganda.
Perhaps we are now getting
over this infantile squeamish-
ness: the word propaganda - a
perfectly good words creeping
into ordinary usage without the
unfortunate connotation it seems
to have had in the past. Obvious
ly, then, the first defect in our
propaganda abroad is that we
have refused to call it by its
proper name; we have sought to
squirm out of the accusation of
doing a job that everyone else is

ton has not, so far, led to a trea
son trial. The offending speech is,
instead, published as the lead ar
ticle of the January 13 Neap York
Times Sunday Magdziae-s per-
iodical which appears to be invit-
ing the attention of the Index
Expurgatorius" these days.
Justice Douglas suggestion is
exactly as shocking as similar
suggestion would have been if in
1912 an office holder had pub
licly urged open-mindedness to-
wards Adolf Hitler-and with no
unkind references to his Nurem-
burg Laws, no tactless sugges-
ton that the ovens of Buchen-
valid be cooled. Red China is no
gentler than the Fuehrer was.
This article-this speeh-is an
extraordinary plea for peace
without honor in every area OF
life. It tries to terrify the Amer
lean public out of all its moral
convictions by threatening them
with the word intolerance" " And
it may be an historic document
in the annals of confusion, for 1t
frankly attempts to make us
ashamed Of being ''intolerant" OF
false ideas!
intolerance" is a word that
has lately taken on a connotatlon
of evil among masses of people
who recognize no other evil. II
has come to suggest dislike OF the
Jews and refusing the Negroes
the ballot. Men who would bland
ly accept the label of adulterer,
blasphemer or liar will vince If
you accuse them of possessing a
faint tinge of intolerance" 1t is
true enough that intolerance OF
people is a sin against charity.
But ii is false enough that intol-
erance Of wrong ideas is any sin,
at all.
The New Orthodoxy
Justice Douglas says, with hor-
ror, that Americans "are devel-
oping tolerance only for the
orthodox point of view on world
affairs" And, the Justice tells
us, Orthodoxy was always the
stronghold of the status quo, the
enemy of new ideas. He. who was
welded to the Orthodox view
was isolated from the challenge
of new facts. The democratic
way of life rejects standardized
thought. It rejects orthodoxy
But Americas new "ortho-
doxy" and intolerance" are max
inc us undemocratic; and that,
says the Justice, Is why we are,
as a nation, disliked in countries
of the Near and Far East. 1t is
not (as some of us had assumed,
in our orthodox and intolerant
way) because the Communist

propaganda machine in those
countries has been grinding out
effective lies about America for,
the postwar years, nor because
the indecisive policies of our own
State Department have taken the
heart out of our friends behind
the curtains, Iron or Bamboo.
No. Not at all. We are hated for
being orthodox"
To the Justice, the orthodoxy
he deplores seems to mean a re-
fusal to surrender our moral
standards in order to admire
Chinese Communism. Such ortho-
doxy appears to be a willingness
to defend the moral against the
immoral, religion against athe-
ism, freedom against the police
state. Orthodoxy is rejection of
the idea that might makes right.
And Justice Douglas tells us that
the great danger of this period
is that we will become victims of
the orthodox school Our
weakness grows when we become
intolerant of opposing ideas
The times demand a renaissance
that will end the orthodoxy that
threatens to devitalize u.s.
Orthodoxy BY chssfsrfon
Now, it just happens that the
virtues of orthodoxy have been
discussed in a book which is
readily available. 1t is by Gil
bert c. Chesterton. Its name is
Orthodoxy" and a pocket edi-
tion might be as handy, in the
coming months, as a pocket
handkerchief. For If we're all go
ing to be attacked as orthodox"
we had better learn to flaunt the
smear, proudly, as a badge. Here
are a few-a very few-of the
things that we can crib from
Chesterton as the other Douglass
speak out:
People have fallen into a
foolish habit of speaking of or
thodoxy as something heavy,
humdrum, and safe. There never
was anything so perilous or so
exciting as orthodoxy. 1t was SAN
ity: and to be sane is more dra-
matte than to be mad It is
easy to be madman: it is easy
to be hereto. II is always easy
to let the age have its head; the
difficult thing is to keep ones
own"
Chesterton speaks glowingly
of the Romance of Orthodoxy"
and, unlike his opponent in
Washington, he tells us what he
means by Orthodoxy" He means
the Apostles Greed.
If we, the orthodox, are in
tolerant of ideas that cut across
the Creed, that threaten its
spread and ridicule It's truths,
why, then, we may thank God for
our intolerance. It is proof of
our lonely sanity that we are
not tolerant of faIsity or of the
theories woven in defense of evil
deeds. To be orthodox is to know
the truth to be true. And if that
is intolerance, we share the tag
with every Saint in the past
twenty centuries.

something we never touch, we

Honorable Calling
The first condition, then, of
propaganda, must be to admit
what you are doing. Self-decep-
tion is not very good starting
point for propaganda job on
other people. 1t is hardly likely
that others will be impressed by
our fine, outstanding honesty of
purpose when we ourselves are
going to the most fantastic ex-
tremes to avoid admitting to our
selves what we are proposing to
accomplish. Therefore, let us call
propaganda propaganda" and
conceive of it as perfectly hon
orable calling if carried out with
the honesty that ought to prevail
in this and other government
functions.

to examine one or two of the
things that seem to be the major
deficiencies of our propaganda
activity as contrasted with that
of other countries.

Vegetable Garden Variety
Means Better Diet

There isn't any need to have the
same vegetables on the dinner
table day in and day out. There
are fifty different common vege-
tables that can be grown in home
gardens. If you have a home gar
den you can use it to liven up the
family dinner table.
Try planting broccoli, Brussel
sprouts, Swiss chard, New Zealand
spinach, red cabbage, okra, endive,
kohlrabi, or some other vegetable
new in your family this year.
Think of vegetables for your
home gardens in terms of how good
they are for you, too, suggests Miss
M. Gertrude Holloway, nutritionist
with the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service.

Greed and waste-which have
robbed the world of many birds
and animals almost put Fur Seals
out of existence. But reckless men
were halted in time to save the
amazing creatures.
There were no more than 10000
of the Seals left, some forty years
ago, and they were fast disappear
ing. At last a treaty was made
which forbade killing the Seals
while they were migrating in the
ocean. 1t was also agreed that
only limited numbers of the Seals
might be taken each year under the
supervision of the United States
I government.
Thanks to this protection, Fur
Seals have increased in number.
The National Wildlife Federation
reports that there are now between
two and three million of them.
Only when they spend a few
months of the spring and summer
on land does the government per-
NIT between 10000 and 100000 to
be killed. Eskimos do the hunting,
and they take nothing but young
male Seals-never females.
At the time that this hunting
goes on, the Seals are living on
the cold, rocky Pribilof Islands in
the north Pacific Ocean. The males
arrive there early in May, and the
females come in June.
Soon after the females waddIe
ashore, their young pups are born.
The babies weigh 10 to IL pounds
apiece. They are black at first,
but later turn gray. Though they
all look alike, and spend their time
together, the pups cannot fool their
mothers. The mothers can pick
their own pups out of the pack
without any trouble.
Along in October and November
the herds begin to flop off theil
rocky islands. They pplunge into
the waters of the Pacific and heac
southwark. From then until spring
they stay in the water.
Travelling in groups, the Ful
Seals swim hundreds of miles t.

Bean soup changes dreary win
ter day into one that can be enjoy
ed. Bean soup must be piping hot
and there must always be second
servings. 1t "sticks to the ribs
and the flavor makes it first choice
for many people.
Its first cousin, split pea soup,
has many followers. Some fam
lilies make split pea soup regular
contributor to the menu and find
it is a great competitor of bean
soup. There is one more camp, the
stern advocates of 1entil soup. The
staunch promoters of lentil soup
often boast of Scotch blood or are
the borrowers of this ever-popular
Scotch dish.
Most of these soups depend upon
q ham bone or upon pieces of left
over ham for their distinctive hav-
or. The long simmering of the
ham and vegetables produce that
hard to beat flavor.
The food value of these soups de-
serves much credit. They are a
good alternate for meat and all the
seeds are good sources of several
of the B vitamins.
The following recipe for lentil
soup uses uncooked bacon and a
bay leaf for favor.

the south, sometimes going as far
down as California. But they never
get closer than a hundred miles OFF
the shore. Only a sick or crippled
Seal tries to find land during the
long winter migration.
At the end of the winter, the
packs make their return journey
to the Pribilofs. Always they keep
a sharp lookout for their worst
enemy, the killer whale, and for
their favorite food, small fish.
The males are especially anxious
to eat well, because they go with
out food from May to August. The
females fare better in the spring
and summer, often leaving land to
get something to eat.
Nevertheless, the males are the
giants of the herd. By the time
they are fully grown, at the age OF
seven, they weigh from 400 to SOC
pounds each. They are black OF
dark brown. The females are light
er in color and smaller, weighing
IAN average of so pounds.
Though awkward on land, Fur
Seals are powerful swimmers. With
their flippers, they gracefully cut
through the water and cover many
miles without stopping. They are
also slillful at leaping into the air
and diving under the waves.

CALL FOR INFORMATION

'sBoth registered nurslG ana prac-
tical nurses may be considered as
self-employed individuals under the
Social Security Act" according to
Mr.Rinaldi in the Wilmington. Del
aware field office of the Social Sc
curity Administration. Mr.. Rinaldi,
stated that the test as TO whether
they are considered to be self-em-
ployed individuals or domestic en-
ployees when they work in priv
ate home depends upon the work
they do. If the services they rem
der are under the direction of al
attending physician and are pri-
marily concerned with the care of
the patient, they are self-employed
even though they perform minor
services of a domestic nature. How
ever, if their chief duties are to
cook, act as nursemaid for chill
ldren, or be a companion to the pa
fient, they are considered to be do
mestic employees. Mr.. Rinaldi
pointed out that the distinction is
important because self-employed
individuals report their earnings
for social security purposes once
each year, while the wages of do
mestic employees are reported by
their employers once every three
months. The tax rate on the self
employed person is 2A, while the
tax rate on the domestic employee
is $50, paid half by the employer
and half by the employee. The
