in this way to get through the "iron curtain" hut many legislators on the Hill seemed to think it was about the biggest hit and miss proposition this country had ever undertaken. Nor has the little detail been overlooked of having to train a special staff in the art of getting the broadcasts over to the Russians in their own language and so the 75,000 out of the 170,000,000 can understand it if they should ever hear it. Music, of course, will be easier than news and propaganda broadcasts.
In order to get a signal of sufficient strength from the United States to Russia, Secretary 3enton proposes to use a wartime relay station at Algiers.
Said Mr. Benton at Los Angeles recently:
"We have found that shortwave broadcasting is the best source of American news directly to Russia from American sources; otherwise our news is screened by the foreign newspaoers or censor¬ ship, "
The Russians long have been broadcasting to the United States, Britain and other English-speaking lands. At one recent international conference a Russian official was asked why Russia considered it proper to broadcast to the West while presumably she did not favor western broadcasts to Russia. His answer, according to the widely accepted story, was this:
The western democracies, he said, have a theory that their people should make up their minds on all issues and to do this should receive maximum information. The Russians by broadcasting are mere¬ ly adding to the sum total of information available to these people.
On the other hand, he said, the Russian people have long since made up their minds on basic issues and do not need any further information to help guide them in their thinking.
