freedom <strong>of</strong> a journalist extended was <strong>of</strong>ten laconically answered to the effect that everyone knew they<br />

had to write what their editors wanted, or that they would be thrown out <strong>of</strong> the editorial departments if<br />

they did not write what was wanted. <strong>The</strong> writer <strong>of</strong> the book, Leo C. Roston, remarks that in a society<br />

where freedom is a nice slogan, limited by economic reality, a clear conscience is a luxury restricted<br />

to those who have enough money to refuse a compromise at the expense <strong>of</strong> their personal ideals."<br />

"This book was not written by National Socialists, but published in the United States, would be<br />

excellent reading for those who believe they can reproach us with lack <strong>of</strong> Press freedom."<br />

- Dr. Otto Dietrich, <strong>The</strong> Press and World Politics<br />

"<strong>The</strong> freedom <strong>of</strong> the Press is a phantom, a mere label. <strong>The</strong>re is not, and never has been, freedom <strong>of</strong><br />

the Press in any part <strong>of</strong> the world." - Ferdinand Lunberg, America's 60 Families<br />

"Half a dozen men controlling the film industry (Hollywood) were bent on inflaming the American<br />

people to clamour for war." - Senator Clark , 10th September 1941<br />

"It is not only the dictators who are sensitive to criticism. Already the pitch has been reached in Great<br />

Britain where it is considered bigoted or reactionary to do other than praise the Jews for their industry<br />

and ability. Few papers will risk any attack on the Jews, however well-founded, for fearing <strong>of</strong><br />

appearing even distantly anti-Semitic." - Sidney Rogerson, <strong>The</strong> Next War<br />

"Appearing before a Senate Committee investigating propaganda in films, he (Senator B.C Clark) said<br />

the industry was turning out dozens <strong>of</strong> pictures to infect the minds <strong>of</strong> their audiences with hatred and<br />

to arouse their emotions. America's 17,000 cinemas virtually constitute daily and nightly mass<br />

meetings for war." - Daily Express, September 11th 1941<br />

"<strong>The</strong>re is scarcely a newspaper or reputable review in this country that will open its columns to the<br />

realities <strong>of</strong> the German situation; indeed, anything that is favourable to the Hitler regime is turned<br />

down by the British Press with scorn." - G.E.O Knight, In Defence <strong>of</strong> Germany<br />

"Money is easier made by lying than by telling the truth. <strong>The</strong> Press has been responsible for<br />

numerous wars." - Dr. Otto Dietrich, German Secretary <strong>of</strong> State<br />

JEWS AND THE RED CROSS PROTEST AT ANTI-GERMAN PRESS DISTORTION<br />

"Not a few Jews found these statements (Samuel Untermeyer's) and many others far too strong to<br />

swallow. <strong>The</strong>y were so startling that some American associations made direct enquiries. Judge John<br />

Payn, Chairman <strong>of</strong> the American Red Cross and the League <strong>of</strong> Red Cross Societies, had received a<br />

report from the German Red Cross, which said:<br />

"<strong>The</strong> reports <strong>of</strong> atrocities which have been spread abroad for reasons <strong>of</strong> political propaganda are in no<br />

way in accordance with the facts. Arbitrary and unauthorized acts, a few <strong>of</strong> which occurred in the<br />

first days <strong>of</strong> the national revolution, have been effectively stopped by energetic measures on the part<br />

<strong>of</strong> the government." - German Red Cross<br />
