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

last.

Kremlin's global policy. 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.

Mow you can make a profit of $27,295,971
and go in the hole !
L According to our oceovntanti. 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.
