Some of the most effective critic
ism of the government in its hand
ling of the war effort has been based
on the theory that there has been a
definite and lamentable lack of
frankness in telling the people what’s
going on. Many officials, this argu
ment runs, seem to regard the people
as children, from whom unpleasant
truths must be kept. One of the
most common sayings in Washington
circles today is that “the people aren’t
awake.” The defenders of the peo
ple say that the people are more
completely awake than a good many
of the bigwigs in government—and
that the extent of popular bewilder
ment as to the course of the war is
directly attributable to a stupid kind
of censorship.
In the newspaper fraternity, a peak
of disgust was reached during the
long drawn out trial of the eight
Nazi saboteurs. The high army offi
cers who made up the trial court
seemed to work on the principal that
the people should be told absolutely
nothing. Not until the strongest kind
of pressure was brought to bear were
newspaper men even permitted to
view the trial chamber. And even
then they were allowed in for only a
few minutes—and the presiding Gen
eral stopped all proceedings until
they had left.
That is simply one example out of
many that could be cited. There has
been much criticism of what some
authorities regard as the refusal of
the Navy to tell the whole truth about
Dutch Harbor and the occupation of
certain Aleutian Islands. And lately
a San Francisco Judge brought ser
ious charges against the ranking
Army General in the Far west. De
fenders of this General say that, in
truth, he has done a first-class job,
and they have much evidence to sub
stantiate that. But again, as Time
phrased it, “The trouble seemed to
lie in the army’s tell-the-people noth
ing attitude.”
There are obvious difficulties in
the way of deciding precisely what
information would be of benefit to
the enemy, and so must be suppress
ed, and what can be told the public
fully and frankly. But it seems vir
tually certain that in a long series of
incidents the military authorities
have leaned over backward to an ex
traordinary extent in refusing to re
lease news which, according to the
American tradition, should and must
be told. And the fault is by no
means confined to Army and Navy
authorities. Time and time again,
various non-military officials of the
government have made completely
conflicting statements about the
same subject—as, for instance, in
news releases on the oil, rubber and
automobile problems. Under those
circumstances, it”s no wonder that a
very considerable part of the popula
tion is lost in a welter of confusion.
The main hope for ironing out
this unfortunate business lies in
Elmer Davis, the cool and canny
head of the Office of War Informa
tion. Mr. Davis, it will be recalled,
was given his appointment some
months ago after the other govern
mental information bureaus had made
an almost complete failure of the
job. So far, Mr. Davis doesn’t seem
to have been able to make a great
deal of headway. But, according to
reliable reports, he is working stub
bornly, and is determined that even
tually the American people shall be
proptly and truthfully told everything
it is possible to tell them. He is
said to have the confidence of the
President, and he isn’t frightened by
either the military of the civil brass
hats.
In the meantime, Mr. Davis’ OWI
is apparently doing the best job pos
sible under the circumstances. Oh
August 8, it issued a statement on
the war situation which is hearten,
ingly different from the usual Feder
al publicity releases.The statement i»
not glowingly optimistic. It isn’t
full of high-sounding phrases. In
stead, it is simple, factual and im
pressive. It points out that so far
our allies have done most of the
fighting, and that this state of af
fairs can’t continue indefinitely. On
the subject of production, it says that
“we have done pretty well, but not
well enough.” It observes frankly
that “we could lose this war'—and
that its going to take an infinitely
greater effort than we have so far
made to win it. And it says one
thing that every American should re
member: “We are fighting fanatical
men out for world domination and we
can beat them only if we want to
beat them as badly as they want to
beat us.’”
In conclusion, it’s a reasonable
guess that, in the future, the Ameri
can people will gradually get more
—and more accurate—information on
all the phases of the war than they
have had before. There is a definite
and growing movement against un
necessary and unreasonable censor,
ship, either direct or indirect. And
there is a growing feeling that John
Jones, who must do the fighting,
working and paying that total war
demands, is entitled to every fact,
good or bad, which would not be of
real aid to the enemy.
WHAT OF COUGHLIN?
Thru the columns of his punk lit
tle magazine, William D. Pelley un
dertook to hamper America’s war ef
fort and thus betray the land that
gave him birth and which has shel
tered him for. . . 52 years. This In
diana Hitlerite now has received the
reward of his deeds in the courts. In
dicted several months ago oon the
count of sedition, he stands convict
ed of the charge. All America will
give a hearty amen to his conviction,
and a still heartier one when prison
doors clang behind him.
At the same time Americans want
to know what has come of the gov
ernment’s pretended investigation of
the utterances of a political parson
named Coughlin. He was as loud
anr, as rank in his crazy anti-Ameri
can writings as Pelley. His influence
was much greater, and therefore more
dangerous. He, along with Pelley the
apostate, was trying to cut . . .
America’s throat in her hour of
peril. A thoro grand jury investiga
tion of this political preacher and in
dictment if the facts warrant it, are
overdue.
Washington seems to be showing
favoritism to the priest on account
of the ecclesiastical job he holds. This,
if correct, is inane. The stole and
cassock are no refuge for a man who
trys to betray his country. Coughlin
ought to be called to account. If a
grand jury probe (not the white wash
kind) justifies it, indictment should
follow and the accused be made to
take his place in the prisoner’s box
along side his buddy in infamy, Bill
Pelley.
Mr. and Mrs. David Williams and
little son, Jimmy, of Columbia, were
recent visitors in the home of Mr.
Williams’ parents Mr. and Mrs. D. J.
Williams.
