"And it is because the principle is acted upon, consciousely and uncon sciously, that it is to-day vain and foolish to believä seven-tenths of what we read about Germany and the Rubir and ninetenths of what we read about Russia."

Propaganda was described last among the attributes of the press as an attribute, not ridiculous like? some others, but dangerous. Earlier in his address Mr. Mills showed how the newspaper had grown from a thing half owned and "half a public trust" into an age.in. which Mr. Kennedy Jones, Alfred Harmsworth's righthand man, could claim that they had 'found journalism a calling and made it a trade:" an age which had a whole marine biology of monthlies and weeklies."
