Let’s Not Get Hysterical
I^FINL already on record in I'nvor of more hoop-la in this
r war, w<* suggest now that the United States take care
tn avoid hysteria.
I loop la, for our purposes, is the expression of a surge
of patriotic emotion. Hysteria is intolerance, witch-baiting,
seeing spies and saboteurs under every lied, accusing every-
body who disagrees with us of being fifth-or sixth-column-
ists.
Dr. Henry O. Bennett's de-
cision to accept re-election us
president of Oklahoma A. and M
college probably ends forever hi.-
kTiown ambition to be governor of
Oklahoma.
During the Iasi 12 years, when
each quadrennial election period I
rolled around, Dr Bennett’s namr i
had been suggested as a Demo-
cratic candidate for governor. Each
time, however, the board of agri-
culture proceeded In regular fash-
ion to re-elect hint president of
the eollege, and the Bennett guber-
natorial boom died
This year, when the election of ;
agricultural eollege presidents was |
clue in February the board o! agrt-
culture postponed action until j
March. Dr. Bennett’s friends were I
confident he would make the race
this year. That confidence was
Increased when March came and
the board again postponed action
for another month.
After that postponement, Dr.
Bennett went to Texas He went
lo Texa.s to draft his platform

dresses dealing with state Issues In

The monograph Divide and Conquer, put out by the
office of facts and figures, is a skeleton textlwsik on prop-
aganda methods used by Hiller and Goeldtels. Divide and
Conquer warns the American people of certain specific ap-
proaches by which the axis is trying to soften us up.
Properly applied, the information in Divide and Con-
quer is invaluable. Hut like any analysis of propaganda, il

fFHK MacLeish monograph summarizes 15 lies which, un-
questionably, axis propaganda is trying1 to put across
over here. Most of the points are sound. But some require
reservations. And when chest1 latter are used by one man
against another, or one organization against another, we
may well weigh carefully the animus that may be present.
For example. Divide and Conquer lists as u Hitler
propaganda line that lie that “the cost of the war will bank-
rupt the nation.” Docs this mean that every I sidy who ven-
tures to suggest economy is a Hitler stooge? We hope not,
lor we intend to demand economy wherever it will not
hamper the war effort.
“Bolshevism will sweep over Europe,” Goebbels wants
us to believe. Does this mean that we can not criticize those
Communists who even now are strengthening their posi-
tions in anticipation of post-war activities? We hope not
We’re for full military collaboration with anti-Hitler Rus-
