thing that contributes to the war effort is in the public interest. Look through the pages of any advertising medium today and you'll find one industry after another with no consumer product to sell, subordinating its advertising to the war effort. At a time when the military news is discouraging, advertising brings good news to the public—news of planes, tanks and .guns rolling off the nation’s assembly lines—news that inspires hope and confidence. Through advertising - the public learns how to conserve essential materials, how to participate on the home front, the reasons for shortages of goods and services and how to make the best of them. In short, a large and growing cross-section of industry is using advertising today to build and maintain American morale at home by creating an informed and determined public. Naturally, companies that still make and sell consumer goods continue to advertise their products. By helping to preserve the mechanisms of our economy, this type of advertising will tend to lessen the economic disruption that .will inevitably come after the war. DR. | WARNE CHALLENGES: Hitler will never be defeated by whiskey ads, toothpaste ads, or even by- noisy patriotic. affirmations of companies with no goods to sell. Manpower and materials are needed for total war, not for disguised advertising ballyhoo. Talk of employing ads to build morale is sheer nonsense. Actually, profit-laden companies now employ advertising to perpetuate their brand-names and : dodge excessprofits taxes by deducting advertising as a “cost of doing business,” even though ‘their output could be sold without a nickel’s worth of advertising. Civilian morale is best built by presenting facts from impartial sources and not by tons of selfpraise, bought and paid for by industry. MR. BRANTLY REPLIES: Without propaganda, Hitler's manpower and materials would never have conquered Europe. Without propaganda, we shall never defeat Hitler. Why not let the government decide whether advertising is a means to this end? The Bureau of Campaigns has been Set up by the office’ of war information to enlist the - advertising of American industries: as a means of educating and inspiring. the public to a maximum war effort. Advertising alone won't defeat Hitler, of course, but ‘if we neglect it as.a potent wartime instrument, we are not ‘waging

total war.

Is Advertising Now in The Public Interest?

Each week two persons of national standing’ usually on opposite sides of the fence—debate .on subjects that have a special wartime significance. Each states his premise, challenges the other with a question, then answers the other’s ‘challenge in rebuttal.

This week’s debate appears

DR. COLSTON E. WARNE Pres, Consumers Union of U. S. DR. WARNE OPENS: Advertising earned a bad enough name in peacetime ‘ through its distortions and half-truths. Still, when hon-

.estly employed, it aids in distribu-

tion. In wartime, its chief function— selling goods—is almost gone. Price controls, scarcities and rationing testify eloquently to the need for slowing down, not accelerating, consumer demand. Advertising, of course, helps to preserve brand names. But this advertising (like all- advertising) requires tremendous amounts . of paper, chemicals, materials, transportation facilities, skilled labor and power—all imperatively needed for the nation’s survival, Yet advertising is not only continuing but, according to a recent trade report (Tide magazine), is actually ‘running well ahead of “its 1935-39 volume. At the very least, competitive advertising of scarce goods should be abolished for the duration. Let the necessary campaigns for conservation, war bonds, etc, be run and paid for by their sponsor, the government; let them be unclouded by commercial pleading. Advertising has not, in fact, shown the capacity to work selflessly in the national interest. And work directed to any other interest is not for these critical times, MR. BRANTLY CHALLENGES: Selling goods is not the chief function of advertising today. Whatever its long-range purpose, national advertising is fulfilling an important wartime function—the building of civilian morale. Industry is doing this. with government approval and encouragement. As Leon Henderson says—“There is a big job for advertising to do in keeping hope and determination) blazing . . . until the people feel the surge of rising confidence which the achievements of industry can start.” sorbs paper and chemicals and labor, But the public morale, built by advertising, is as essential to the war effort as planes and tanks and ships. DR. WARNE REPLIES: So private advertising is as essential as airplanes or tanks! How modest and reassuring.

SWISS ANGERED AT REFUGEE BAN

Order Evicting Those Fleeing Germany Protested..

By. PAUL GHALIZ

BERN, Aug. 24.—An impassioned conflict between the deep sense of humanity of this mountain people and the innate caution of Swiss officialdom has arisen concerning the fate of refugees arriving in this haven of safety in the middle of a turbulent Europe.

According to the Swiss press, these refugees, only Jews, are spirited from Belgium and Holland and across France with the assistance of a secret organization whose agents demand exhorbitant fees for their “Scarlet Pimpernel” services. They

, then steal by night over the moun-

tainous Jura frontier and past the last of the hazards, the frontier police, into security. :

Secret of Police

How many of these refugeps have recently“found their way into Switzerland is the well-guarded secret of the Swiss police. It can be stated, however, that their number lately has been considerably increased ahd may well assume the proportions of a torrential flood if unchecked. A few days ago the federal police —yery reluctantly — issued orders that refugees, arriving in this country after Aug. 11, would be refused asylum. These instructions do not. apply to escaped prisoners, deserters or refugees of political character who are -being pursued because of their “political activities.”

Swiss Are Angered

However, this violation of Switzerland’s traditional hospitality has angered the public and led to nation-wide protest. Arguments have developed against the . police decision in. practically all Swiss-Ger-man newspapeérs—the normal. arguments of any liberty. loving country and will be readily ‘understood by Americans.
