WHEN WILL THE WAR WITH GERMANY END? 57 Iprolong it so that terms will be ex' tended which will be easier than unconditional surrender. In other words, the Germans knew they could never win the war by trying to keep us out of Europe; so ithe newer technique lets us come in, which we planned to do anyway, and with her secret weapons Germany is [Counting on methodical mass murder which will cause many in the allied nations to cry, "Why continue this senseless slaughter?"

Today the two great media are almost tied, with radio having a slight edge. This rapid growth is due to a number of factors. First, there is the element of speed. Radio's coverage of world affairs is almost instantaneous. The press does an incredibly fast job of setting up and re-plating their papers; but there is no way to compete with an open microphone which can carry an eye-witness description or the actual words of a speaker and transmit the message seven times around the world in one second. It is no wonder, in the face of this type
