PSYCHOLOGICAL SABOTAGE
(Continued from page 7)
point in the American mind. An
analysis of the current formula
from the Axis machine indicates
the folowing points are being underscored:
1. President Roosevelt is a discredited
war leader. 2. Great Britain
is putting the burden of
fighting the war upon America.
3. The . U. S. should withdraw
from the Atlantic and fight Japan.
How many times, particularly
of late, have we heard this one
repeated : "Great Britain and
Russia plan to slice up huge sections
of territory in Europe and
leave America fighting J a p an
alone in the Pacific."
The source from which we hear
these current bits of propaganda
reveal that not all saboteurs are
paid agents of the enemy. We
have heard these tales from "just
plain folks"-good men and women
who are by no means animated
by ulterior motives. But
these people are blind to the dangers
of repeating such false stories.
And for this reason, psychological
sabotage is an effective
weapon for generating discord,
mistrust, suspicion and fear.
The saboteur will use every
agency that he can pervert to
further his dastardly work. He
will seize upon differences of
OpInIOn which divide political
parties, factional strife, racial in-.
equalities, and fan the flames of
hate and disunity. He will incite
political spokesmen to bitter, destructive
criticism of the war effort-to
magnify blunders and
mistakes, and hold up those persons
in;volved to public ridicule
and scorn. Labor agitation is a
fertile field for the saboteur.
In every campaign of this war,
the enemy has used the Fifth
Column to ·" soften up" morale of
the people under physical attack.
Norway, under Quisling, is an infamous
example. In France, over
night, the nation became confused .
and disorganized.
The propaganda war against
America must not gain headway.
Notable effort is being made to
check rumor-mongering and pernicious
criticism . . But only when
the individual citizen recognizes
the danger of lending his ears
and tongue to the agent of psychological
sabotage, will the machinations
of Axis propaganda
offensive be completely smashed.
The antidote to rumor is "stop,
look," and not "listen," but
"think !" If we will do this-each
one of us-the Axis rumor factory
will cease to function effectively.
