...uproar they helped promote. One was Publisher Frank Gannett, who backed up his fulminations against the bill throughout his chain of upstate New York papers with something called the National Committee to Uphold Constitutional Government to lobby against the bill under directions of a $400-a-week propagandist named Dr. Edward Rumely. The other was famed Father Charles E. Coughlin who emerged from his retirement to make two radio speeches on the subject. Coughlin speeches and Gannett literature produced a record-breaking flood of 333,000 telegrams to Senators and Congressmen. Their notion that Roosevelt was really a Hitler...
...trot out a renegade churchman-a propagandist stunt which is not peculiar to the dictator nations but has been used by U. S. bigots (with "ex-monks," "escaped nuns," etc.)-would benefit not only Stalin but the discredited Russian Godless.

Only contemporary propagandist specifically named in this somewhat general booklet was none other than Edward Bernays: "Hired by [Western Union] to boost its business," said the booklet "Edward L. Bernays suggested that delivery boys, paging the recipient of a telegram . . . say, 'Western Union...
Conqueror Chiang immediately made friends with the Chinese businessmen of Shanghai, turned violently antiCommunist, massacred some 3,500 unimportant Shanghai Reds, permitted Propagandist Borodin and General Galen to "escape" to the Soviet Union. He later made Communism a capital crime. General Chiang's only son by his No. 1 wife, Chiang Ching-kuo, had by this time moved to Moscow, busied himself denouncing his father from Soviet platforms, became a Communist...
