without fail to dignify the harangue

and unless opposition is well han-

The propaganda machine w-e hear

form an essential public service.

Of course there must be a few
publishers who are unpatriotic, and

Journalists tell me that news arti- i
civs have value (i c deserve prom-
inence! in proportion to the number
ol people interested Thus persons !
in positions of power make news
because a lot of people are interest- t
ed in what these men th.nk and say

so long as men In power wish to
gain more power, the campaign for
collectivism will be carried on.
At its source ii tie beat piece to
