anonymous statement their name
as author of it will spread quickly
around town and out into the
country. So why be anonymous?
For special unselfish reasons of
his own or occasionally because
he is genuinely publicity shy
an omciai may desire to give im
portant information while re
maining unnamed. Much back
ground material is given that way.
On New Year's eve one of the
highest officials in Washington
called for a press conference. He
told the assembled newspapermen
for publication that the rail
and steel strikes were a "great
tragedy" helping the axis.
He said his name could not be
used. His statement was attribut
ed to a high source. Yet his po
sition was so prominent and his
public statements so few that, if
his name had been used, what he
had to say undoubtedly would
have been far better publicized
than it was.
He wished publicity for his

views or he would net have talked I
for publication. Then why didn't
he assure for himself the widest
possible publicity for his state
ment through use of his name?
That's his secret. His reasoning
was his own.
Labor was quick to resent not
only the statement and its im
plications but its anonymous
character, since labor was involv
ed in it. Labor asked a senate
committee to smoke out the per
son responsible for it. Senator
Truman (D-Mo.), head of the
committee, declined to investigate
but regretted the statement ever
had been made.
Finally AFL President William
Green said Gen. Marshall was
"reported" to be the statement's
author and asked proof of its va
rious charges.
Only about two weeks ago an
other official, also one of the
highest in Washington, suddenly
unexpectedly predicted that with
in 90 days American casualties
would triple those in the first two
years of this country s war.
He, too, made the statement for
publication but for some reason of
his own would not permit use of
his name. So that statement also
had to be attributed to a high au
thority. But what was his reason
for anonymity? .
All of this brings up a final
question:
Should statements from offic
ials, no matter how high, be Ignor
ed if they insist on anonymity?
If that happened then the pub
lic would not know what their top
officials were saying and thinking
even it those officials did not want
their names linked with their
ideas and words.
The only ones who would know,
in such an arrangement, would be
a handful of Washington news
papermen who are responsible for
keeping the public informed on
Washington developments but
who could not then do so.
