JONAS SEES DANGER OF WAR WITH ORIENT
“To speak about propaganda and war at all is to stick one’s neck out,” observed Dr. Frank H. Jonas, political science in-: structor, in addressing the all-university student-faculty forum yesterday.

Dr. Jonas defined propaganda as the manipulation of attitudes, emotions. and prejudices toward a predetermined end in his speech entitled "Propaganda in the Present Conflict.” He said that propaganda as technique is amoral. “There is no such thing as good or bad propaganda,” he added. “The only criteria for measuring propaganda is whether it works.”
Attempting to explain that all propaganda is not untruth. Dr. Jonas said that people do not mind hear-recently from a tour with his band, ing Hitler called a propagandist but

Wilson called propagandists. “In truth, the greatest propagandist in the last war was Wilson,” he declared.
Dr. Jonas said that the biggest shifts in techniques of propaganda have been made today by the Allies.

Lord Duff Cooper contradicted this by saying. “We have to fight the whole German people.”
Great Britain also said that she was fighting a defensive war. and that time was on her side. Even the statement “time is on our side” is fading now.
