Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Edward Raymond Turner of the University of Michigan: Apostle and Apologist of Reaction Ireland has for centuries been subjected to systematic misrepresentation of her history and her people by wily English propagandists. The freedom-loving people of other lands who, if they knew the truth, would sympathize with the Irish nation, have been carefully blinded by a veil of misinformation designed to create hostility to the Irish. This English propaganda has been particularly active in the United States in the past, and is seemingly at its height here today. Lord Northcliffe, the English editor and publisher, whose wealth and initiative make him especially powerful, is particularly active in the work of deluging America with English propaganda. He realizes that Americans of Irish blood have awakened America to the peril which confronts it in the English attempt to break down our century-long traditions and to make the United States an ally of England. It is in a desperate effort to stay this rising tide of popular opinion that England is today doing her best to discredit the Irish people and American citizens of Irish blood. England hopes, by painting a black picture of Irish life, to prompt American lovers of liberty to turn their eyes away. The methods of Lord Northcliffe´s propaganda machine are clearly outlined in his own paper, the London Times, in its issue of the 4th of July, 1919, as follows: "Efficient propaganda, carried out by those trained in the arts of creating public good-will and of swaying public opinion towards a definite purpose... is now needed, urgently needed. To make a beginning. Efficiently organized propaganda should mobolize the press, the church, the stage and the cinema; press into active service the whole educational systems of both countries, and root the spirit of good-will in the homes, the universities, public and high schools and primary schools. It should also provide for subdizing the best men to write books and articles on special subjects, to be published in cheap editions or distributed free to classes interested. "Authoritative opinion upon current controversial topics should be prepared both for the daily press and for magazines; histories and textbooks upon literature should be revised. New books should be added, particularly in the primary schools. Hundreds of exchange university scholarships should be provided. Local societies should be formed in every centre to foster British-American good-will, in close cooperation with an administrative committee. Important articles should be broken up into mouthfuls for popular consumption, and booklets, cards, pamphlets, etc., distributed through organized channels to the public. "Advertising space should be taken in the press, on the boardings, and in the street cars for steadily presenting terse, easily read and remembered mind-compelling phrases and easily grasped cartoons, that the public may subconsciously absorb the fundamentals of a complete mutual understanding." When Prof. Edward Raymond Turner of the University of Michigan introduced to the American people a volume entitled "Ireland and England," it was widely advertised as an "impartial, comprehensive and authoritative" story of the Irish situation. Examination, however, shows it to be exactly the opposite. Americans of Irish blood have decided that misrepresentation of Ireland and of the Irish people must come to an end in the United States of America. They insist that the truth be told, and stand ready to point out misrepresentations and to condemn those who sponsor them. The Irish National Bureau presents in this pamphlet a detailed review of Prof. Turner´s book. It leaves it to readers to judge for themselves whether Prof. Turner of the University of Michi
