S. merchantmen. Franklin Roosevelt in his proclaimed emergency last week used only 3 of his emergency powers. 1 He ordered the Army enlarged from 210,-00- 0 to 227,000, the Navy from 116,-00- 0 to 145,000, the Marine Corps from 19,000 to 25,000, the National Guard from 190,000 to 235,000 (if the States agree). 2 He allotted $500,000 to the State Department to finance repatriation of endangered U. S. citizeng in Europe. 3 He upped Edgar Hoover's force by 150, to hunt down spies. an FACT AND FICTION - - - What is propaganda P B E. TJ ? Once the world meant nothing more than the legitimate promulgation of ideas. World War I and the methods of totalitarian governments later gave the word a new meaning, linked wide-scal- e it to lying, the org-anize- deliberate manufacture of atrocity stories, misrepresentation of enemy aiims, minimizing of enemy successes, exaggeration of enemy defeats, the( manipulation of sentiments to arouse war spirit, hatred of the enemy at home and sympathy among neutrals abroad. Great Britain and Germany came out of World War I with diametrically opposed attitude toward propaganda. Defeated Germans, unwilling to believe in military defeat, believed that Allied cleverness in propaganda, their own clumsiness in it, was largely responsible. Great Britain, on the other hand, had a group of battle-scare- d veterans of propaganda and a world-wid- e reputation for amazing cleverness in molding public opinion. For many a post-Wyear the seediest remittance man in South America was judged a secret agent; the hungriest British novelist lecturing to the U. S. was thought by many to be a Foreign Office spokesman. The wheels of propaganda were beginning to buzz their various ways last week as two novelists and a Scottish lawyer fought to reach the eyes and ears of the world with the best cases they could make for the conduct of their warring countries. One novelist was Paul Joseph Goebbels, author (at 24) of Michael, probably as bad a book as has ever been pub lished, and operator (at 41) of the most powerful, most smoothly organized publicity machine the world has ever seen. The other novelist was Jean Hippo- lyte Giraudoux, author (at 39) of Suzanne and the Pacific, one of the funniest and freshest of modern French novels, and director (at 56) of France's brand-neBureau des Informations. But because of its past pluperfect performance and present eccentricity, most interest centered last week on the propaganda plant of the Scottish lawyer. When Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made Baron Maemillan of Aberfeldy Britain's Minister of In formation, he gave the peer one of the toughest, one of the most delicate, of Britain's wartime jobs. It was one of the undeveloped "shadow ministries." Lord Maemillan had to organize a staff to sift and relay war news after war news had already begun to come in. He had to establish censorship after censerable news was already jamming the wires. If Lord Macmillan's first task was to undo Britain's reputation for cleverness, he could not have started more brilliantly. Nobody could accuse Britain's propaganda of functioning smoothly last week. It was clumsy, amateurish, d scare proBritain's first duced two flatly conflicting stories passed through the censor to the U. S. before the War Office's own prop aganda agency (under oldtime Hack- - ' x .' i sv--,- ,. ; j serted pictures tor or- chestra work, returns to V t v ' i Li a -- Hey ' V f .a . t , Budd-GotTa- , 'j,.

While Britain drowsed in the propagandist shadows la$t week, whipped to full soeed was Dr. Goebbels' powerful Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightment, which even In peacetime spends some $100,009,000 a year, employs 25,000. Twenty-fou- r hours after German troops entered Poland, neutral newsmen had photographs of German troops on the march. Tanks, big gung, bombres, ruined villages, prisoners, wounded, mutilated bodies, charred houses, refugee children, smashed bridges, all added up to create an impression of overwhelming military strength, dramatized the speed of Germany's advance. Hidden in secrecy was France's Bureau des Informations. But the main French policy has long been known: "The brutal propaganda of the Axis powers has not always been favorable to their reputations. . . Wo will not stoop to the showy advertising to which our rivals have resorted . . . The propaganda of France must be of an Informative character." n Also ig Director Jean Giraudoux, who seemed likely to make France's war news exciting if any Frenchman was going to. But French official war communiques, while a little newsier than the British, were as guarded as Devil's Island. It was as though the French were reluctant to make big claims lest they have to retract them later. A diplomat, dramatist (Amphytrion 38), novelist and profund student of national characteristics, Author Gir aurous came out of World War I a chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Typical Giraudoux observation of current interest to U. S. readers: "The Americans. . . always fight themselves. When they were English, they fought the English, as soon as they were Americans thev foueht each other. When their culture became sufficient- ly Germanie, they fought Germany. The first American who took a prisoner in 1917 was named Meyer. So was his prisoner." well-know- - I? ' ',V-k. .

Foreign correspon dents were driven into a frenzy by the glow and clumsy handling of news of the torpedoing of the Athenla; Britain's the bomb ings of German naval bases, was announced as laconically as the results of target practice; in line with British belief that false hopes should not be raised, French troop movements on the Western Front were reported with so little detail they sounded downright dreamy. While Germany's Propaganda Ministry exulted over the capture of each unpronounceable Polish town, and handed over photographs of Hitler at the front, Hitler comforting the wounded, Hitler sit ting in an automobile, Hitler peering through a telescope, Lord Maemillan at first clamped down on all wite and radio photos. Maiin channel of Brit ain's publicity appeared to be the rad io, over which announcers with an air of detached candor and without heat discussed military operations; and the cinema. Moving newsreelg of evacuation of children from London, of mothers weeping at the separation from their children, placed the re sponsibility for Europe's anguish where Britain wanted it placed: on Adolf Hitler, who in German photos was shown smiling at the sound of k, W """7 'On &l ttytX WHEN WOD FERMENTS AND GASES RiSE TAKE JUST ENOUGH TO ALKALIZE - Gas is fine in your stove or furnace, but it's both painful and embarassing in your stomach.

The bride was a former 6tudent of Henegars Business college and a n member of the Hall orchestra. The groom is a senior student at the University of Idaho, in Moscow. He is president of the L. D. S. boys' fraternity and is a ranking lieutenant of the R. O. T. C. A shower dance was given in honor of the newlyweds in the Elwood Ward amusement hall Wednesday, September 6. Many friends were present and they received many beautiful gifts. After a ten day honeymoon, touring southern Montana and the Coeur 'd Alene region of northern Idaho, the couple will make their home at Moscow, where Mr. Tayson will continue his studies. IP B conscious for special powers. As President and of the armed as Commander-in-Chie- f forces. Franklin Roosevelt indeed had at hand a host of latent powers. Some stem from the U. S. Constitution, some from statutes dating back to the 18th Century, many from laws Wilson before passed for Woodrow War I and never World and during Deal laws. New from others repealed, The President promptly began invoking such powers. Correspondents at a regular press conference saw him in vigorous mood, as ebullient and confident as in the crisis days of 1933. He announced that what he was about to say would justify no scarelines, nothing but calm. "For the proper observance, safeguarding and enforcing of the neutrality of the United States," he then proclaimed a national emergency. (Orally he called it a "limited emergency" by way of minimizing it.) By that stroke he assured many powers which would be his in actual war. Having done so, he may, among other things, legally: Fix prices of food and fuel. Take virtually absolute control of dealings in international exchange and of domestic banking. Enlarge the armed forces to eny extent necessary to prevent whatever he considers to be infringements of U. S. Neutrality. Close any radio station, or take it over for Government use.
