That knowledge could not be called small or superficial, whether on our lawr and judicial system, our banking and trading, our railst shipping, our social custoins and our elimate. But she was com

in the war. The cost of propagat-pletely staggered when I told her ing the truth about our finances, industries, trade, manufae tures,

and the weight of the war burdens we bear would be repaid to us tenfold.

Ignorance Abroad.

It is impossible to catimate how much we lose in those periodie apasms of dislike, fear, anger, and distrust which every now and then blaze up against us in Continental countries. Even in our own Domin. ions we have allowed a belief to grow up that this country is slow, anenterprising, slipping backward fast in business, statesmanship, and everything else.

You will find the same ignorance of the facts in almost any average educated, intelligent foreigner or American, and only systematic and widespread propaganda can make the facts known, as they could and should be made known to our definite advantage,

The films have been a tremendous

vehicle of propaganda for America

not very good propaganda for their police and criminal standards, perhaps, but certainly good for propagating a belief that America has boundless wealth which she can spend in the most extravagant fashion, that her Army and Navy aro.mighty and invincible, that her trade and industries beat anything in the world, that no nation can compete with her in business ability" and weight of wealth. So far, our Giras have had little power of spreading world knowledge about us, and our national propaganda should take what steps are possible -and several are-to sea that they did.

National Advertising. Propaganda is only another word for a form of advertising. Other nations advertise in that form, sys tematically and successfully, Ger. many has already almost convinced the world of her innocence of war guilt or any intention to make mancy by depreciating her cur rency; France has gona far to establish the belief that she was and is the heaviest sufferer and loser from the war; Italy has crent- ed a new spirit within herself, a now power and standing amongst the nations; America has made the world accept her at her own valus- tion-and all this has been done dustrial, and national propaganda. by propaganda; political. in-

Surely it is time we made usc of the same powerful lever. We have very usefully begun to do it within the Empire through the fine effort and enterpriss of the Empire Marketing Board, but we ought to Ko one better by making known to the world by national propaganda the many useful trutha and facts we have to tell about ourselves.
