A campaign such as the Crusade for Freedom may seem alien to Western diplomacy, which has traditionally relied on Top-level negotiation rather than mass appeals. But in the present crisis we must measure propaganda by its effectiveness, not by its familiarity. Millions of Americans signing the Freedom Scroll will give now volume to the Voice of America, as well as needed propaganda material to American information centers abroad...
