Library shows war literature
Propaganda periodicals and pamphlets which have flooded the United States from other nations during the war are exhibited for the first time here this week in the Von KleinSmid library of worid affairs on the third floor of Doheny library.
Literary material from and about India will be displayed today. Every week works from a different country will be covered, with Mexico in line for special attention Monday.
Propaganda subjects draw special interest because they show the attempt of many foreign governments, through their information offices in New York, to bombard the people of this country with their side of the story in an effort to influence public opinion here.
Probably the most revealing pamphlet this week is not of a propaganda nature in spite of the fact that it was published by the British Information Services, an agency of the British government. Titled “India's Five Years of War,” this pamphlet traces the growth of the Indian army from its inception jas an ill-equipped, untrained d;.vi-|sion of 150.000 men in 1939 \r- Its present force of two million rr n.
The pamphlet tells of the n-dian army’s exploits in *Afr ca, Europe, the middle east, the far east, and Burma.
Two other pamphlets which the British Information Services has published and which are on display include Field Marshal* Viscount Wavell's address to the British combined legislature and Viscount Halifax’s discussion of Indian problems.
