WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Old hands
at the propaganda game here believe
they have noted excellent marks of
their trade hid
den In some of
the news from
Europe.
The b mi d
Ethiopian
effort to Involve
the United states
by oil concessions
did not particu
larly draw their
idmlratlon.
It was too obvi
ous to be good.
What caught
their fancy was the adroluy magnify
ing and Insinuating reactions pre
pared for American eyes in the capi
tals of Europe.
For Instance, one of the best known
America Journalists abroad wrote the
other day about "the great profit"
which will ensue "to whatever na
tionals are Involved -In the deal,"
meaning, of course, the United states.
Another yarn from the Ethiopian
capital called it "a sixty million dol
lar deal." meaning that the proinotsrs
were going to spend that preposter
ous amount of money In search of
Ethiopian oil.
That kind of lure for American fish
(say the U. 8. propagandists) la wor
thy of favorable comparison with the
best bait manufactured abroad to
hook the United States Into the world
war.
Suspicions of American officials
were aroused because the commerce
department checked up on Ethiopian
mining prospects only about two
weeks ago. Its official report Indi
cated that If Halle Selassie has found
any oil prospects worth sixty cents,
he haa kept them the biggest secret
la the world.
Also, If there are any huge profits
to be made, no one yet suspects It
save the king of kings and the Brit
ish promoter who offered the sugges
tion. The commerce department learned
that there hare never before been re
ports of oil la Ethiopia and that no
real survey haa ever been made of Its
mineral deposits. It sums up the
mining possibilities In one sentence:
"Little exploitation and no accurate
data on resources; potash, gold and
platinum Irregularly produced In
small quantities."
For these and other reasons, offi
cials here will tell you off-the-record
that the Sel(sle-Britlsh promoters
appear to be prospecting more in oil
of the diplomatic kind than In petro
leum. They will also tell you the
securities and exchange commission
would not permit sale of stock to
American investors unless Selassie
get up a better prospectus. Like
wise, they suspect that the reason
the details have been kept secret Is
that there are no details.
Whether they are right about that
or not, they advise tongue-'n-the-cheek
reading of European promotion
material from now on.
President Roosevelt seems to be
, clinging to hla old recipe In making
recent political appointments. If you
analyse the background ot men nam
ed to the two receruy appointed
boards (social security and labor) you
will find that Ms formula is one
part practical, one part brain trust
and a dash of pnltlcs.
On the soclf.1 security board he
named: (A) An efficient gubernato
rial administrator of liberal tenden
cies. ( Bt f, brain truster who has

not engage In politics, and the re

rest with you and leadership is some
thing to be expected of someone
