In confidential chats they were not so optimistic; not by a great deal. For one thing, their 1936 platform? Second, their standard bearer and his running mate? Third, funds? There was plenty of disagreement as to items 1 and 2. As to item 3 it was heartily agreed upon that funds must be ample. But how raise them? Nobody convincingly answered that question. WHAT KIND OF PLATFORM? The platform? Should it be simply denunciatory of the New Deal or should it outine a constructive pro. gram, too?

Millions of people are asserting that the American government had better remain netral or else —! But will the American people re main neutral? How will emotionalism affect them? What reaction will propaganda have on them? Will they recognize propaganda when they see it, hear it, read it? Can they overcome their emotion alism by clear, unemotional think ing? If so, they will be the first people on earth to rise above such mas 3 ap peals. SUPPOSE Suppose a war should last several years. Suppose a persistent but subtle flow of propaganda should depict during those years that only by coming to the “defense” of a certain country could “democracy” be saved from "die tatorship” or “communism.” Suppose a wave of anger should sweep over the nation and people de (Continued on Page Five.)
