Fifteen Nazi propaganda objec tives iu the United States are dis closed in a documepted pamphlet, entitled "Divide and Conquer", re leased this week by the office of facts and figures. The pamphlet describes German propaganda methods in continental Europe and warns that the United States is now being subjected to a "total barrage of the Nazi strategy of terror." For the first time the govern ment lists the Nazi propaganda ob jectives by stating, "Hitler wants us to believe that: Democracy is dying. Our armed forces are weak. The 'New Order' is inevitable. We are lost in the Pacific. Our West Coast is in such grave danger there is no point In fight ing on. The British are decadent, and 'sold us a bill of goods'. The cost of the war will bank rupt the nation. Civilian sacrifices will be more than we can bear. Stalin is getting too strong, and Bolshevism will sweep over Eu rope. Our leaders are incompetent, our government incapable of waging war. Aid to our allies must stop. Our real periLJs the Japanese, and we must join Germany to stamp out the 'Yellow Peril'. We must bring all our troops and weapons back to the United States, 'and defend only our own shores. The Chinese and the British will make a separate peace with Japan and Germany. American democracy will be lost during the war. "To spread these and other lies, Hitler will pull every trick in his black bag. But Americans will not be fooled." Short wave broadcasts from enemy and controlled countries; rumors: enemy agents and inno cent dupes are used by the Nazi according to the pamphlet. "Hit ler is trying to set capital against labor, white against negro, Catho lie against Protestant, Christian against Jew," the pamphlet warns "He knows that prejudice, in any form, plays his game." "Divide and Conquer" points out that "for several years before Pearl Harbor, Hitler propaganda in this country attempted to para Better Name For This War Is Important By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist. QUITE a controversy has broken out, among authorities who pres ently will start writing its history, as to what our current war ought to be called. The theory is that wars are entitled to a name each, such as will identify 'em all, sep arately from one another. Everybody understands perfect ly what's meant by a reference to our Revolutionary war. There's no confusion when the Mexican war's mentioned.. Our clash between the states is variously termed our War of Rebellion, our War of Secession and our Civil war, but any one of these designations is accurate enough to be unmistakable. For eign wars have been the same way the Boer war, the Napoleanic wars, the Thirty Years war, and away back in the remotest past, to the days of the Punic wars and assorted spells of international homicide. Ignoramuses may be a bit uncertain concerning some of the very early ones, but historians tell 'em all apart without the slight est trouble. It took President Roosevelt to raise the point that now, though, we've fallen into the bad habit of talking about World War I and World War II. His criticism hadn't had more than sufficient time to get into lyze our thinking to give the im pression that the war was none of our business; that no one would dare to attack us; that our two oceans would protect us; that, anyway, Hitler had no interest in the Western Hemisphere; that if we would only refrain from doing anything Hitler didn't like, Hitler would leave us alone; that anyone who warned us that Hitler meant what he said was a warmonger; that anyone who urged us to gain time for our own defense by help ing those who were already op posing Hitler was trying to lead us into war. The line is familiar enough. It didn't fool the Amer ican people. But it was picked up and repeated by many groups of Americans people who would have been shocked to learn that they were carrying the Nazi mes sage." The pamphlet concludes: "We know that Hitler, who acts like a terror, is really the most frighten ed man on earth. The upraised arm, the shouting voice, the mighty bluster, all mask a mortal dread of the weapon that makes men free: the truth. We are armed with the truth, and we will crush the tyrant." Retail Trade Head (Baj-'W!vr:' fV'v)i s 1 1 f Here's th&man whose decisions will affect practically every person in the U. S. It's Dr. Merle Fainsod. Harvard professor, at his desk in Washington, D. C, who has been named head of the new retail trade and services division of the Office of Price Administration.. Before being named to his new position, Fainsod was price executive in the consumer durable goods section. (Central Prist) print before the historical sharks had begun proclaiming in chorus that it was a point exceedingly well taken. Confusion Ahead Not only, these gentry agree, is the No. 1 and No. 2 differentiation inelegant and sloppy, but look at the confusion it ultimately will re sult in. Oh, yes, we're able to distin guish all right between so-called World Wars Nos. I and II, both in our own generation, but suppose the ancients, in Old Testament days or thereabouts, had started off by recording War No. I and then War No. II and so on indef initely up to date. Why now we'd be in the midst of War No about 1,000,000, and nobody could keep the remotest track of the series between the first and the mil lionth. We fancy, according to the his torians, that when we speak of a war as a WORLD. WAR we've put it into a different classification from all other kinds, and as long as we don't have more than two or three of 'em, we can describe 'em numerically so's to be understood by posterity. But what we forget, explain the experts, is that ALL wars prob ably are going to be worldwide henceforward, and, a few centuries ahead, the figure'll be so formid able that school books won't be able to make any sense out of. President Roosevelt's scheme is to choose a suitable World War II name on the strength of a popular contest, like picking a designation for some new brand of soap or breakfast food. Savants don't very unitedly indorse this idea. They'd prefer to make their own selection. The trouble is that they don't put forward a title that fits over-satis factorily. The "War ir Defense of Democracy" is proposed, but it is lengthy and lacks pep, it's gener ally conceded. Furthermore, "de fense" isn't exactly the term de sired. "OFF-ense" is more popu lar. Yet even that won't look quit right in historical literature in 2044 or later. Besides, World War I remains to be appropriately christened. The Last War Most American historians re recorded it simply as "the World War" until the latest strife broke loose. European scribes usually named it "The Great war." It was "the European war" until the United States cracked into it. After that it ceased to be ex clusively European. It wasn't any greater or more worldwide than this one, either, In fact, it wasn't so much so. President Roosevelt perhaps was joshing when he called for a name to fit the emergency, but the his torians are serious. They're writ ing letters to the newspapers and breaking out into lecturers and ad dressing themselves to college classes. They've got two wars on their hands to get into text books, and they've got to have compact pun gent names to identify 'em by, and the demand for the current war's name is urgent. Anybody with a good hunch on the subject will be making a sub stantial contribution to education by .contributing it. The War of What? It must include a patriotic boost for the democracies or a vicious jab at the Axis or both, if a combina tion of 'em is possible. VW6r THS STtteAM TA.TBiO OUT , IT WAS ClX A (?Of tri DEAR.

They spent a lot of money trying to recapture the public fancy but were unable to do so. Their effort was wasted because new and aggressive companies had moved in and won the public through advertising. The same application could of course be made to local firms (now extinct) which quit advertising in 1917 or since.
