A STUDY IN PROPAGANDA
'"It's Yours
raj
IF You Can Lift It"
I By Charles V. Stanton
As you listen this week to the Republican presidential
convention, you'll find it interesting to follow the propa-
gandNomtnation of the presidential candidate is only one
business item on the convention agenda. Sharing equa irn
portance is campaign strategy. The Republicans will be
setting up plans for their effort to elect the candidate to
whom they hand their banner. Careful analysis of the
convention's propaganda line will indicate the pattern of
the campaign following the two party conventions.
Democratic strategy already is plain. The Democrats
again are to run against Herbert Hoover.
Since 1932 the Democrats have directed their fight
against Hoover rather than against the current candidate.
It is obvious from the direction of propaganda already pre
sented that they intend to do so again.
They will endeavor to frighten people into believing
that any Republican administration will be a depression
administration simply because we had a depression during
Hoover's time in the White House. Anyone who has follow
er! UnrWr. Hoover's recent articles in Colliers knows that
Roosevelt appropriated Hoover's recovery program of pub-
lie works as his own, embcliisiiea it wan a lax anu ienu
policy, neglecting the fiscal protections Hoover had pro
posed, and launched us on a spending orgy which Truman
has recklessly expanded. It is extremely interesting to
match the Democratic propaganda of Republican depres
sion against the pre-Roosevelt national psychology that the
Democratic party was the party of depression. Prior to
the New Deal virtually all of our depression periods had
resulted during Democratic administrations. We forget so
quickly!
Scare Propaganda Launched
But already Democratic spokesmen are beginning to re
fer to the Hoover depression and are giving the inference
that the election of any Republican administration would
return us to the days of the Great Depression. This ap
proach has been highly successful in past elections. In
fact, it has been so successful there is little use in develop
ing new weapons when the old can be dusted off and brought
back into action. - 4 '
People scare easily when they think their pocketbooks
might be affected. But we find evidence that the public
is becrinnintf to realize that- We nay checks don't always
mean prosperity. People are becoming alarmed by stead
ily increasing taxes. They are finding that while the pay
check may be large it still doesn't keep pace with the up
ward spiral of living costs. They are discovering tnat Dor
rowing to produce prosperity isn't all it is cracked up to, be,
These facts offer RoDublican campaign material.
Republicans, of course, may be expected to center heav
ily on corruption. Exposures of scandals within the aci
ministration, particularly the Department of Internal Reve
nue, furnish plenty of live ammunition for the Republican
campaign while high taxes, increasing living costs, and
mounting national debt supply targets for the propaganda
cannons.
Platforms Will Be Guides
We wish we could have confidence in party platforms
The conventions will adopt platforms supposedly promising
party policy. Actually, if the practice of recent years is
any criterion, platforms will be merely scraps of paper in
sofar as policy is concerned but will be masterpieces of
propaganda. From the Republican platforms the public
will be able to discern the direction of the pre-election
campaign and the strategy to be used in meeting Demo
cratic blasts against Hoover.
So, if you are interested in probing under the surface
activities, you will find it entertaining to study the events
of the next few days from the propaganda angle. You will
find, too, that what the Republicans do in Chicago this week
will have an important bearing on the Democratic conven
tion to follow.
The Democratic meeting has been overshadowed by
the internal struggle within the Republican party. Actual
!y, the Democrats have an internal fight fully equal to the
crisis in Republican ranks. It has been less prominent in
the news because of the sensational Taft-hisenhower duel
We'll probably get much more enlightenment on the Demo
cratic situation after the Republicans finish their meeting.
In all events you'll find in both party meetings this
month the hints of messages the rival candidates will carry
to the "pee-pul as they square away for the November decision.

CHICAGO New York's governor. Thomas E. Dewey,
shellacked twice in presidential elections, fancies himself
a dark horse candidate if Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Senator Robert A. Taft are deadlocked for the GUI nom
nation here this month.

over them when they were sea

Dewey freauentlv has disavow
ed further presidential aspirations,
Out Eisenhower s supporters are
not so sure. The governor's pe
culiar timidity towards public plat-
torm appearances la Eisenhowers
behalf is giving the general's high
command the jitters.
Dewey has. of course, stated pub
licly that he is for Eisenhower. On
his orders, his press secretary.
Jamei Haggerty, and bis erstwhile
campaign manager, Herbert
Brownell, are in Chicago plotting
Taft's coup de grace. Senator Cab
ot Lodge, Eisenhower's campaign
manager, la pleased that Dewey
and his staff are engaged in this
type of work at the moment, but
there are lingering suspicions that
the General might wake up with
his political throat slit as well.
Througnout the Eisenhower pre-
convention campaign Dewey
Brownell and Haggerty have hov
ered over the General's headquart
ers like political vultures. Occas
ionally one or all three floated
across the country, dipping into
the political jungles of California,
or stirring up the dust in Midwest
GOP stronsholds. Nobody is sure
what thoy are up to, but every
body in the General's headquart
ers hopes for the best.
Dowey has always demanded to
tal loyalty from his staff members.
They are selected for their polit.
ical wizardry and have, at pre
vious conventions, made bums out
of opponents. Unfortunately for
Dewey, those talents have proved
Inept when it comes to presidential
election campaigns.
Therefore, those who know Dew
ey best are bemused by his sudden
interest in Eisenhower's aspira
tions. They cannot recall any oth
er occasion when the governor has
submerged his ambitions on be
half of another politician. Dewey,
also, lakes seriously his responsi
bilities as titular head of the Re
publican party. And alter dis.
avowing gubernatorial ambitions
in New York on past occasions,
he has turned on the heat for the
nomination, to the extent that one
or two others eyeing the gover
nor's chair wound up doubting
their sanity. An attack of Dewev
Itis is a shattering experience. For
Elsenhower, 11-Day would he re
corded as a skirmish by compar
ison. The politician who has private
ly raised doubts about the gover
nor's intentions is Arthur Summer
field. GOP national committee
man for Michigan. Summerfield is
probablv heir to more pioblems
at the moment than all the rest
of the politicians combined. While

The first thing that will probably
strike the teen ager as odd is the
way the land masses, except for
names along the coast lines, are

each square telling a story bv

other symbols.

Irvine to placate Arthur Vandcn-
burg Jr., who has lost a Sot of
enthusiasm for Eisenhower. Van
denberg blames Summerfield for
denying him the GOP senatorial
nomination, and is therefore less
than enthused about Summerficld's
attempts at king making.
Dewey and Vandenbcrg are bud
dies. Dewey also is close to Gov.
Alfred Driscoll of New Jersey, who
would like to move to Washington
after November, if a suitable posi
tion befitting his talents Is unoc
cupied. He wouldn't get across the
state border if Taffgets the nom
ination. The same applies to Gov. Earl
Warren, of California. Warren
likes Dewey's brand of politics.
In fact he depends on it now, since
h has fouled tin his own to such
?n extent that it is doubtful if he
controls his own aeiegaics.
mc man wno actually spilled the
beans on Dewey, however, is Gov.
Theodore McKeldin, of Maryland,.
McKeldin. after visiting Eisenhow
er in Paris, blurted out that in
politics he always "follows Dew
ey's lead." This set teeth to clack
ing in Eisenhower's headquarters
that won't slop until the nomina
tions are concluded in Chicago, if
then. I.ode thought all along he
was leading McKeldin around by
the nose.
Any way you add it up, Dewey
once again is a convention strong
man. New York. New Jersey, Cali
fornia, Maryland and chunks of
delegates from Michigan and
n.nn.vivmii will fall in line when
he utters the command. The best
Eisenhower and Lodge can do now
is to hope that the governor u
iho ripht marching orders.
if tim first few convention roll
calls don't decide the issue, Dewey
might come to the conclusion that
i:n,.r.il hasn't got a chance.
He can't stand the thought of ei
ther Taft or Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur in the White House. That
would hardly leave anybody ade
quate except the Governor of the
Slate of New York.

Those are brave and ' noble
words, but I fear they will get no
where. Soviet military forces can
and do claim and EXERCISE the
right to shoot down the aircraft
of other nationalities over the open
waters of free seas. They shot

genius and a natural leader. He
defeated his country's enemies and
when he died in 1560 he left Swed
en the strongest power in northern
Europe.
Three warrior kings followed
him and they succeeded in turn
ing the Baltic Sea into a Swedish
lake by the simple process of con
quering and gaining military pos
session of the Baltic shores.

Public Opinion
Restores Star
To Police Chief
BAKER ( The Baker city
government bowed to public pro
tests Thursday and reinstated Po
lice Chief Fred Hunt.
The 12 policemen who had re
signed when Hunt was dismissed
also were re-hired.
Hunt's dismissal by ' the City
Council last week touched off
raging controversy, culminating in
petitions, signed by about 3,000
residents, demanding Hunt s re m
statement.
The council, which had voted 6-0
to force Hunt from office, never
did disclose its reasons for dis
charging Hunt, although Bakei
residents badgered council mem
bers in two meetings, demanding
an explanation.
Hunt blamed his dismissal on his
crackdown on gambling and prosti
tution.
A new city manager, David I
Koester, inherited the controversy
when he arrived Sunday. After
studying the large number of pro
tests three days, he announced the
decision to reinstate Hunt,
Mayor James Hanley, who had
acted as spokesman for the council
in dismissing Hunt, said the coun
cil would go along with Koester in
reinstating the police chief.
Koester Issued a prepared state
ment In which he said he felt the
majority of Baker residents wanted
Hunt reinstated.
"I feel Hunt is a capable, honest
and efficient police officer, and
will provide the type of enforce
ment desired," the statement said.
He also said the controversy was
marred by misunderstandings, not
ing that some persons voiced be
lief the issue was whether to make
Baker an open city that is, one
that tolerates gambling and per
haps other entertainment.
Koester said that was not what
the council had in mind.
"I am convinced members of
the council do not want or desire
a disorderly and lawless city," te
said.
Koester said council members
assured him before he made his
decision that it would be supported
by them.
It didn't last long.
Along about 1700. the powers
that Sweden had whipped got to
gether. An alliance was formed
by Denmark, Prussia, Poland-Saxony
and Russia. This "alliance
fought the Swedes until their coun
try was exhausted, me snore-,
lands which Sweden had conquer
ed were taken away from her and
the Baltic ceased to be a Swedish
lake.
Eventually, weak and worn out,
Sweden turned to a policy of neu
trality and under this policy she
strengthened her economy and
succeeded in gaining for her people
an admirable degree of prosper
ity and a high standard of living.
But THAT period is now threat
ened. Russia is setting out to
make of the Baltic a RUSSIAN
lake. I fear that unless powerful
friends come to her aid Sweden
will be trampled into the bloody
mud as SHE trampled other
nationalities into the bloody mud
when SHE was making the Bal
tic into a Swedish lake.
( Time marches on.
Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no peace for the peacefully-minded
who have possessions
that are coveted by evil-minded
neighbors?
Is there no hope?
I think there is hope. In its slow
and inexorable way, history points
it out for us.
If we are to have peace (without
waiting through the millenniums
necessary for the making over of
human nature) some great and
righteous nation with both the will
and the Bower to establish and en
force JUSTICE throughout the
world must arise.
That nation could be ours.
But if it IS to be ours, we must
become both a great and a RIGHT
EOUS nation. Our motives must
be both high and right. If we are
to accomplish a task like that
we must be able to say and BE
LIEVE: "Our strength Is as the
strength of ten because our hearts
are Dure.
In no other way can it be done.
