It must act as pacemaker to policy, and form public opinion without sciousness of the holders, Before po. litical aims can be realized the world has to be convinced of their neces sity and moral justification. What one desires to achieve must te pre sented as simply a logical conclusion from events. We made no abroad, indeed. itho at use of propaganda we hardly knew of it home skillfal work was done against certain persons. Our litical aims and decisions, offered to the world as sudden surprises, neemed often to be brutal steps taken on the spur of the moment This could have been skilfully avoided by broad and farsighted propaganda While we had not been ready for propaganda work in time of peace, also lacking in the neces- ulpment therefor. We had rid telegraph service, with its chain of cable and wireless stations. Efforts to remedy this had not yet been carried to fruition. We lacked leading journal on a strong na- 1 basis, possessing influence abroad and weight at home, like the Times in England, the Temps in France, and the Novoe Vremya in Russia, All these three papers were inde- pendent, and stood strong na- tional platforms, ‘The journals from which foreigners received direct in- formation from Germany were ail devotees of internationalism, funda- mentally opposed to our form of gov- ernment, and gave a false and one- sided picture of our life and thought and of the conditions in Germany, In the matter of propaganda, we had much to catch up; we had to undertake the fight against the enemy at home, and to work with all ouy strength for the extension of the submarine warfare, which was then just decided on. We could not re nounce the use of weapons of de effect. .

Only #0 could we treat our enemy as he | treated ux, and hold our own in the mighty world war SETS UP AN ORGANIZATION When I came to general headquar found only very scanty ar | rangements, hardly deserving of the !name of propaganda organization In the summer of 1916 general headquarters had requested the gov ernment to establish a strong propa After many ob- | stacles had been overcome, especially ip connection with the foreign office, |the military office of this depart ment tvas set up. Side by side with this office, which | Was set up for pyrely military pur poses, the foreign office took up the question of the establishment of similar bodies for political and eco- nomic propaganda, It was only on this understanding that the chief of the general staff in the field had | founded the milltary office. All the three bodies were on simi- jar lines, laid down by the foreign office, to carry on wide and energetic | counter-propaganda, not merely con tenting themselves with weak de fenmes to the enemy's lies, but at- | tdeking the enemy propaganda. The | Political and economic propaganda vice of the foreign office was un- fortunately confined to @ press and pamphlet service, which was mainly levoted to influencing the press by means of denials, discussions of po }litiea! events, and exposures of weaknesses, It was like drop- ater On a hot stone, and was the least importance. WENT AFTER THE NEUTRALS In the military department of the foreign office Colonel von Haeften gradually built up a large organi tion. This was under general head. quarters, but was in the main financed by the foreign office, who received in return the right of joint r 4 of dictating lines of policy, rights of which ft made vir- tually no use. Colonel von Haeften is an officer of unusually high intelligence and «of burning patriotism, who undertakes every task with energy born of*his idealism, and who possesses the gift | 6¢ constructive work and of carty- ing his fellows with him. What has been achieved is In all essentials the work of himself and his colleagues By word and pieture, and, above all, by means of the cinematograph, Colonel von Haeften sought to ob- jtain a secure footing in neutral countries. Oral pi the utmos of @ propag ideas and eapable ination ponnensed of weix yet take | ganda was held to be of Importance. The passing The idea knows ous means of propaganda lanted, and no man © it came. Propaganda by pictures and film was encouraged by the formation of 4 special graphic department, the picture and film office,” and later of the Universal Film Company, Lim ited. The film is a means of popu lar education, and Colonel von Haef ten desired to employ it as after the war, his war organization being designed to that end. Pictures and films, and illustrations in poster form, penetrate more and have a stronger effect than writing, and | thus have a greater influence on the broad masses of the people. EMBASSIES PUSH THE WORK At the same time, press propa ganda was carried on by telegraphic, wireless and correspondence service, other propaganda with pamphlets and lectures, and work was also done in connection with the neutral war press camp. Above all, Colonel von Haeften sought by quick news distribution to find the way into the hostile portions of the neutral press. Art propaganda was also encour aged. Here we perhaps did too much, The foreign office attached great importance to this, having i deed taken it up some time earlier. At our embassies abroad and in neutral countries, and also in the oc- upied districts in the east, branch military propaganda offices were es- tablished as organs of Colonel von Haeften, working up, with an eye to |the special circumstances of the country, the material supplied from the central organization, and th distributing it. They worked in the closest touch with the ambassador. It is quite impossible that Colonel von Haeften alone could succeed in catching up all the ground that we after the Sutbreak of the war, and in fighting on equal terms against the enemy propaganda and the pub- le opinion commanded by it in the neutral countries, let alone in pene trating into the enemy countries themselves, The insular position of England and America made this im- possible, ‘The lines of attack on France lay thru Spain and Switzer- land, From Spain we were cut off, and there was nothing left but the narrow Swss fronitier, as was the case with Italy also.
