Nothing could have delighted the European democracies more and nothing could have been less pleasing to the dictatorships than the report last week that President Roosevelt had told a Senate Committee that the U. S. defense frontiers were in France (see p. 12). The French and British press shouted with joy, while the totalitarian press of Germany and Italy outdid all previous efforts in denouncing Mr. Roosevelt and all he stood...
...controlled dictator press which, like France, did not wait to find out if Mr. Roosevelt had really said what he was said to have said, President Roosevelt was pictured as an "enemy of peace," "AntiFascist No. 1." Propaganda Minister Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels sicked the entire German press on the President, but nothing out of Germany last week compared in vitriol, scorn, ridicule and invective to what was being written in Italy.

Caught with their windows down, they were soon so covered with refuse heaved at them by angry bystanders that their call had to be postponed while they drove back to the flagship for a change of uniforms...
...unpopular in South America, although the Nazis are propagandizing hard. Dr. Goebbels' paper Der Angriff recognized Bishop Ryan and Father Sheehy as adversaries, called them "paid propagandists" of President Roosevelt. The two planned the trip themselves and represented nobody but themselves. They recommended strongly, however, that U. S. press and radio services to South America be improved. The Nazis give the South American press a free news service in Spanish and Portuguese, which misrepresents U. S. happenings, and Nazi broadcasts consistently drown out U. S. programs. As Father Sheehy discovered after giving six NBC and CBS broadcasts from South...
