Linking Israel, the U.S. and Jordan's King Hussein together as common villains is Nasser's latest propaganda device to try to win the Arab masses. "Brethren in Arabism, brethren in Palestine," cried Cairo's Voice of the Arabs, "imagine all these things which imperialism wishes for you, American imperialism itself. Imagine it is not only intended to scatter one million Palestine Arab refugees, but the intention today is to kill them and annihilate them completely . . . Brethren, imagine your fate after [they] hand you over to your American enemy to annihilate...
...used it for a barracks and a hospital, students flocked to it from all over the country, and many of Poland's leading scholars joined its faculty. The Communists never dared shut it down, consoled themselves with the fact that one partially free university was good for propaganda value in the outside world.

...that contributed their goods also signed up millions of dollars in sales. Over the last fortnight, at Poland's Poznan Fair, the first U.S. trade exhibit behind the Iron Curtain pulled in 900,000 Poles, far more than the Russian display (TIME, June 24).

But the U.S. is still hobbled by a shoestring budget. This year's appropriation for trade fairs is $3,600,000, less than some Communist countries invest...
...much of the world fell for the slogans about the Chinese Reds as mere agrarian reformers, about Nationalist corruption, etc.. it was, says Chiang, partly his government's fault: "We lacked initiative in propaganda and substance in ideology." The Red victory, by Chiang's reckoning, was only 20% military; for the rest he details the case histories of treachery, infiltration, propaganda, the exploitation of an uprooted social order. One of the Reds' earliest tactics, recalls Chiang, was to incite the poor of a village to loot before Communist agents burned down the house of the landlords...
