restrictions on American newspaper men in Spain and I was able to travel freely and to talk to all d ames of the people Closer to British While Spaniards admire the United States as a great power because of its distance from them they are not as constantlyas conscious of American policies they are of those of Britain Their geographical situation and centuries of history long have kept them in 'contact with the British Spaniards like most Europeans are realists and are not affected propaganda by They regard propaganda for exlietly what it is—distortion designed to influence the consumer only They accept propaganda when it is supported by factswith-n-To talk about military strength producing victories for example leaves them cold Some of the most unfortunate in Spain publicity we have received we ourhas arisen front facts selves gave out such as 'state 'rents about overwhelming American production the effective use cf which hass not been demonnow-gover- ' ' 1 1 -
