Two .of the best jobs ever done in all history in the field in which this office is instructed to operate abroad were done by Americans. ‘The first was the achievement of Benjamin Franklin, operating in Paris in the years from 1777 till ‘the revolution had come to its triumphant conclusion, to which he ‘had so greatly contributed. Franklin's work, to be sure, was much more extensive than that of the overseas branch of the Office of War Information; it included diplomacy and secret service work, as well as propaganda. But purely on the propaganda side the job he did remains a classic. ‘Doing Our Best None of us in the OWI believes that we are as smart as Franklin, but we are going to do the best we can. And the second classic job in this field was done by Woodrow Wilson

Most of us are old enough to remember this of our own knowledge, but if you want further proof, I can call to witness the most expert and successful propagandist of our time, who got his first experience of propaganda when he was serving in the German army —Corp.

“To what terrific consequences a rightly directed propaganda may lead could be observed for the first time during the war, though unfortunately it all had to be studied on the other side. The war propaganda of the English and Americans was psychologically correct.

the other allied leaders and learned from it a great deal which he has since employed for deplorable ends. May Imply Truth But propaganda is an instrument; it may imply truth instead of falsehood in its operation (as Wilson did, and as this office intends to do); and it may be directed to worthy instead of unworthy purposes. This office was established,» in| the phrasing of executive order 9182, “in recognition of the right of the American people and of all other péoples opposing the axis ag-

Well, Mr. Armington can only guess. Some historians believe that the adjective “Indian” was used because the nice autumnal interlude was a period of great activity for the Indians: as they prepared for the forthching hunting season.

Term Unknown Abroad

Only in English-speaking parts of North America is the term used. Similar seasons in Europe have names dating back to the Middle Ages, ascribing them to various autumnal saints, usually St. Martin. We are in the midst of an Indian summer right now. We may have another later in the season, for the “spells” are flexible, As Mr. Armington puts it: “Whether or not we have Indian summer depends on two things: First, the weather, and second, on what you think about it.”
