Thinking of Borrowing?
Propaganda Warhead
Within the past week or so
sony; 15,000 newspapers, radio
stations, magazine shops, and
mediums of public news and
opinion have been mailed—at
government expense—units of the
propaganda warhead of a govern­
ment agency. All is paid for by
your money and mine.
Other warheads of propaganda
for a program to break down a
vital part of the system we live
by, so that America can be made
over into some new order from
the pieces, will be mailed to
women’s clubs, Granges, labor,
unions, school teachers, pastors—
to persons and mediums that will
reach millions.
The government’s blast at a
giant department of American
industry will be heard on the
Farm! and Home Hour and other
radio programs, and will be seen
in, the movies. No more ardent
moocher of free space, free time
and free screening than the fed­
eral government exists.
All this is being done by one
of the government’s swarm of so-
called divisions of education and
information. Congressman Harris
Ellsworth of Oregon, has already
denounced the weapon, the attack,
and their purpose. There will be
mor criticism of this kind. No
doubt House Appropiations Chair­
man John Taber will turn his
ken appraising eye on this latest
propaganda discharge from the
old Wallace-Tugwell arsenal of
nuike-America-over. It is high
time for an appraisal.
Education Starved
The crime is not so much in
attacks on the American system
at the taxpayer's expense, but in
the gross neglect of the real func­
tion of government’s education
and information divisions. Few
are as derelict in this duty as the
one I’m shooting at. (I am leav­
ing it namless because of my re­
spect for the technical men, the
true service men, of the agency
concerned.) But most are ready
to leave education for propaganda
at the drop of a flash bulb. The
work is' not hard and it is far
more exhilarating.
•
In Washinton, D. C. alone, the
Department of Agriculture has
about a thousand persons working
full-time on publicity and public­
ations, with a thousand more
serving part-time. The totals run
into tens of thousands out in the
field. Even the highest technicians
are subject to propaganda orders.
Turn
to
the department's
forestry agency for contrast, and
you find that there is the pitiful
number of 150 foresters serving
as mentors for the 3 and one half
million farm forest owners of the
country. These farmers operate
roughly 30 per cent of the coun­
try’s commercial forest land.
There, according to the Chief
Forester himself, is where the
main problem of destructive cut­
ting and of forest fires exists. And
he confesses that the other broad
area of the problem, that of the
tens, of thousands of small forest
owners who are not farmers, is
getting no benefit of government
education and information at all.
The guiding slogan seems to b,e
“Millions for propaganda; nickles
for education.”
Hope Dawns
The specific identity of the
groups under fire here is outside
my purpose. That has been taken
care of by a congressman who
knows the facts, and the facts
will certainly be carefully scrut­
inized by tho proper authorities.
The point for us to worry about,
is that a government agency, us­
ing public money given it to ed­
ucate and inform the public,
neglects that function for tre­
mendous propaganda drives on
business.
We can hope that the present
Congress cleans the Pravda boys
out of Washington, D.C., and
orders the education division to
get in there and educate.
