There is. however. a con-
structive job that the USIA can
perform among the people OF
allied countries. It's employees
must not shy at becoming OUT
right propagandists. even taxi
ing a leaf from Communist
propaganda methods. For
example, there is in France a
newspaper called La Terre
Nouvelle with a wide reader
ship among farmers because 1t
deals with subjects close to
their hearts. But besides Civ
ing advice ON how to treat a
sickly hog or increase the
quantity Of milk given by a
COW, it has small articles about
how much better the farmer
could do with the assistance OF
the party" And it also has
some pungent quotes from the
latest speeches Of the Commu-
mist leaders. These are aimed
to show that communism is
good and that the U. S. S. r.
is a peace-loving country har-
aSsed by American imperialists.
Similar successful Commu-
mist efforts are made to rally
the French urban population.
The approaches are skillful and
the publications and orators
point an accusing finger at the
United States. No antidote to
this poison is offered by the
USIA-except possibly in the
Voice of America which has a
relatively small audience.
In the new era in which we
live we must struggle for the
friendship of the man in the
street rather than the politi-
clan or the intellectual. Both
the latter have become lesser
cogs in the machinery which
decides the policies Of free
countries.
The USIA has a splendid
chance to contribute much to
winning the favor of the COM
mon man of the world at time
when American prestige is at
the lowest ebb in history.

There has been strong criti-

the criticism was fully justified.
A number of Senators and
Representatives believe that it
is serious mistake to con-

is wrong. The agency is more

have time to spend in the
