...discovered a book by a Briton, Sidney Rogerson, called Propaganda in the Next War, telling how Britain might seduce the U. S. into the coming war against Germany. When U. S. Senator Gerald P. Nye read a chapter from this book (which he said Britain had tried to suppress) into the Congressional Record, Porter Sargent had 10,000 reprints made, sent them, with a one-page mimeograph of his own observations, to his mailing list of educators.

...Lords develops the same thesis which its author outlined on the air last winter: there is no danger that the U.

Since the day war began, censors have been reading all news that goes out of Britain by radio or cable. They find little to suppress, but cause long delays that madden newswriters in hours of crisis. The night the Athenia went down they were all in bed. had to be routed out and brought blear-eyed to their posts before reading could begin. By that time radio commentators had got their own texts censored, had told late listeners in America...
