Tale of Two Wars
Dell, Robert | April 6, 1940 issue

add to cart   close window

Dorothy Thompson, a political writer recently remarked in an admirable article on the propaganda obsession with which U.S. is at present afflicted. The article was written to prove that the present war is merely a continuation of the first World War. The present war is no more ideological than the last one. A slogan was started about a war "to make the world safe for democracy." The English and French adopted a slogan so likely to appeal to American sentiment. The first World War was primarily a war between Austria and Russia and secondarily a war between England and Germany, into which France was dragged by the Franco-Russian alliance and the Entente Cordiale.
