Tireless Effort To Sell Soviet Propaganda Made New York (U.R) Day and night, hundreds of radio trans mitters in Russia, Red China and Eastern European satellite coun tries disgorge Communist and anti-democratic propaganda. The broadcasts go in 47 lan guages and dialects. It is a tireless and ever-growing effort to sell the Soviet prop aganda line to people from the pampas of Argentina to the rice paddies of Thailand. Surveys by the U. S. govern ment show that the Communist radio output now totals more than 1,240 weekly broadcast hours, compared to only 902 hours produced by the Voice of America and the British Broad casting Company, the two most important sources of anti-Red air-waves warfare. Communist international broadcasts, costing an estimated $500,000,000 dollars annually, cover every corner of the earth and constitute an important part of the Soviet foreign policy. American officials who are concerned with counteracting Soviet propaganda believe Its ul timate success or failure may well determine the fate of the ington and Idaho were also ex pected to attend. The feast is a tribal tradition that has been observed longer than the oldest living warriors can remember and it may bs the last.

They think likewise that the success of America's foreign policy hinges largely on Washington's ability to explain the aims of the free world in the cold war. Russian Funds Larger Both the Communists and the Western powers devote the great est chunk of their total propa ganda to appropriations to the radio war. The funds available to Moscow broadcasters are far greater than those granted to the VOA and BBC. The Red radio campaign is based on what Western officials call the technique of the "Big Lie." It attempts to monopolize the idea of peace for the Com munist world. Red broadcasts hammer home the contention that Russia stands for peace while the United States and Britain are busy preparing for a new war. Western officials admit pri vately that Russia's campaign of the Big Lie is more effective, because of sheer repetition if nothing else,- than they would like to see it. That is particularly so ifi the crucial areas of the Near East, southeast Asia and parts of western Europe. They deplore the fact that the Western powers lack the funds and the equipment to counteract more effectively Russia's campaign. However, in this war of ideas the democracies are showing in genuity and imagination that fre quently upset the plans of the Kremlin and of the Agitprop, Russia's central propaganda agency. Despite the overwhelm ing technical superiority of the Soviet propaganda apparatus, the Americans and the British are holding their own. More in English With the intensification of the cold war in 1951, the Commu nists stepped up considerably their radio activities. Figures supplied by the foreign broad cast information service of the U. S. government show that be tween Sept. 1, 1950, and Sept. 1 1951, Soviet international broad casting has increased by 30 per cent; that of the European satellites by 21 per cent and that of the Peiping radio by 76 per cent, The most significant Increases in Moscow programs have been in English to Britain and to North America. Moscow now broadcasts 50 hours weekly to the United States, employing 16 separate short wave lengths but has had small success in building American audiences In March, 1951, the Russians began appropriating time on satellite transmitters to relay their own programs to Western Europe, Yugoslavia, Greece and North America. The VOA Increased Its own broadcasts in 1951 as its output rose by 78 per cent over 1950. Further increases are planned this year. The BBC, however, cut down its programs by 15 per cent last year. The most disturbing Red radio superiority Is found in the most sensitive theatres of the cold war. Thus, Moscow and Peiping broadcast 27 hours weekly to India in Bengali, English, and Hindustani. The BBC and the Voice beam a weekly total of is hours in seven Indian dialects. The BBC and the Voice do some what better in general English language broadcasts to Asia that can be heard in India. Interestingly enough, there are no Russian-language broadcasts beamed to Asia or anywhere else in the world, Russian being reserved for the immense home service of the Soviet radio.

Union Oil made a net profit during 19S1 of $27,295,971. If this bookkeeping- profit represented the com pany's actual "take" our 38,347 common share owners would be overjoyed. But after paying dividends of $11,444,259, we actually ended up on the minus side of the ledger to the sum of $7,534,000 in working capital. 2. Here's the reason! In 1951 we had to spend $62,421,000 for replacement of worn-out equip ment and oil properties and to enlarge our facili ties to meet the greatly Increased demand In the West for petroleum products. This money came from three sources. 3 $40,281,000 of it came from the "depreci ation and depletion" allowance. (The sums a corporation sets aside each year to replace equipment and oil properties when they're worn out.) $14,606,000 of it was made up out of profits. $7,534,000 of It was taken from working capital the "checking account" a business keeps on hand for day-to-day expenditures. 4 Wo obvlowtly can't keep dipping Into our working capital indefinitely and stay in business. For if we do well eventually run out of money to carry our receivables, inventories, etc, and pay our daily operating expenses. That's why something has to be done about a situation that affects not only us but every U. S. corporation. 5. Briefly It Is tfittt The sums the tax collector allows you to set aside for depreciation and de pletion are based on what things eost when you acquired Oiem-not what It costs to replaet them today. Since these depreciation funds aren't ade quate to replace equipment and oil properties at today's prices, we have to make up the differ ence somewhere or go out of business. 6 On top of this, extremely heavy taxes on corporate earnings make It almost impossible to retain enough profits to make up the difference. So we have to take It from working capital. That's why we must have a tax policy that will permit corporations to earn enough for the replacement and expansion necessary to maintain the produc tivity and economic growth of the nation.
