...Propagandist Dittemore in 1919 quarreled with the trustees and other directors of the Boston Christian Science Church and was ousted. He went to London where he allied himself with Mrs. Annie C. Bill, self-styled "successor" to Mrs. Eddy and founder of a slightly insurgent Christian Science church known as the Parent Church. As everyone knows, the Boston church is always referred to as the Mother Church...
...course, to be expected that the wet propagandist would misconstrue President Lowell's recent article on Reconstruction and Prohibition. There is little in it to justify their attempts to use its as a polemic. It is judicial in tone and shows an ability to see two sides to the question.

Rugged Dictator Josef Stalin and facile Propagandist Nikolai Bukharin are striving and succeeding with a program of discrediting Trotsky in Russia. Every book or newspaper article concerning him is censored, suppressed or distorted. New textbooks of Soviet history have appeared in which the great name of Trotsky and his creation of the Red Army is barely mentioned...
...film matter was settled satisfactorily when the promoters of the film admitted their fault and agreed to make a correction. It was a film called Deliverance, a moral romance meant to advertise among Y. M. C. A. men the stirring statistics of Professor Irving Fisher, Yale economist and Dry propagandist. The script had called for a picture of Governor Smith signing a bill. The producer had clipped a newsreel "shot" of Governor Smith signing a tax-reduction bill and then implied by subtitles that the bill shown was the repealer to New York's Prohibition enforcement...
