forced to go to war against her will;
that Otto von Hapsburg is a ‘clown

culated by the British purporting to
show a ruined Catholic church in
Lodz, Poland, is a lie because there
wasn’t any church in Lodz, so there.
If the United States were fascist,
Germany wouldn’t be so interested
in you, as a reader or as a citizen.
If the United States were fascist,
Germany would play ball with the |
government, not you people, and |
the government would tell us what |
to print and it would be a-great deal |
simpler for Germany. As it is. Ger-!
many has to worry about 130,000,-
000 people, instead of just one Amer- |
ican dictator and his handful of
henchmen.
We mention “Facts in Review”,
not because it is any worse than
some of the stuff our friends, the |
local politicaians, occasionally try |
to smuggle into our columns by |
one ruse or another, but because
this 16-page magazine; bearing on
its cover a huge portrait of Foreign |
Minister von Ribbentrop, is typical |
of the stuff that is being stopped
at the desks of American editors,
who are this country’s first line
of defense against propaganda and,
perhaps, war.
It isn’t that editors are smarter
than anyone else. Our own accum-
ulated wrong guesses make an em-
barrassing total. It’s just that one
of the qualifications of being an
editor is the ability to detect the
fishy smell which surrounds free
publicity. After a few years’ ex-
perience, a newspaperman acquires
an allergy for phony stories, or else
he becomes a publicity man him-
self and gets rich writing pieces
which his former fellow workers
keep chucking in the waste basket.
We wouldn't pretend that we
don’t give you propaganda once in
a while. Every editorial we write
is propaganda for something. Joel
Serra on Page 3 is a propagandist of
the first water. Most of our col-
umnists, this one not excluded, have
pet peeves and causes. It’s difficult,
you'll admit, to refuse a free puff
once in a while to a good advertiser
to whose loyalty we owe the very
shirt on our back. We're as human
as you are, and the best we can
do is guarantee that we won't let
anything harmful to your funda-
mental welfare creep into our paper
as news. Sometimes we think we do
a little better there than some of
our larger, metropolitan brothers.
—0—
But if a smidgeon of propaganda
for one cause or another gets into
The Post sometimes that doesn’t
worry us. You see, there are about
15,000 daily, Sunday, weekly and
semi-weekly newspapers in the
United States, their editorial pages
reflecting every shade of political
opinion from Soviet communism to
pious capitalism.
Obviously, most of these news-
papers are patriotic defenders of
their own version of the American
way of life. Since newspapers are
seldom more or less than mirrors of
public opinion, it is natural that
they should, in a capitalistic demo-
cracy, be capitalistic and democratic.
It could scarcely be anything else.
Aside, however, from this general
defense of the status quo, American
newspapers present a bewildering
array of editorial opinion, a freedom
of expression in sharp contrast to
the situation in most totalitarian na-
tions.
Admittedly, American newspapers
have their faults, and serious ones,
many of them arising from abuse
of the unique freedom they enjoy,
but they are the most unrepressed
newspapers left in the world. Cen-
sorship abroad may postpone some
disclosure, bad guesses or biased in-
terpretation may mislead readers
for a while, selfish publishers may
cloud significant issues temporarily,
advertisers may padlock opinion on
this newspaper or that one, but
sooner or later, in the . glorious
rough-and-tumble of democratic
journalism, the truth will out some-
where.
It may come in the communist
Daily Worker, the socialist Daily
People, the reactionary Herald Tri-
bune, the staid Christian Science
Monitor, the impressive New York
| Times, the New Dealish Philadelphia
[Record or the eight-page Dallas
! Post. The important thing is that
in the United States those who wish
to know the truth can find it
if they search.
