EDITORIAL REACTION TO CURRENT ISSUES
(Issued on a continuing basis as events warrant)
GREEK SITUATION
Part II
(Editorials from 225 papers received Mar. 18 to Mar. 20)
Prepared by
Division of Press Intelligence
Office of Government Reports
The President continues in Part II to receive editorial support from a
majority of the American daily press. The ratio remains about the same as to general
endorsement, approval with some reservation, and all-cut opposition.
Of those anxious or willing to go along with the President, practically
all express realization of the seriousness, and even uncertainty, of the proposed
program. However, it is keenly felt that it is inevitable we must undertake to
assure world peace and self-determination in government by all peoples.
Those opposing the proposal as listed in Part 1, are now joined
by
the Detroit Free Press and other members of the John S. Knight chain. Knight'
crusade banners are being carried by the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader and the Topeka
Capital.
Josephus Daniels' Raleigh News & Observer is carrying on its own crusade
in opposition, with some of its arguments of questionable pertinence and soundness.
In the midst of the crusade, the paper pauses long enough to score other critics
for asserting Roosevelt violated his 1940 pledge not to send our boys into foreig
wars.
