the enemy to stick to its guns, but even began to nibble at our
own people.
It need not surprise us that our propaganda did not enjoy this
success. In its inner ambiguity alone,
it bore the germ of
ineffectualness. And finally its content was such that it was very
vunlikely to make the necessary impression on the masses. Only
our featherbrained 'statesmen' could have dared to hope that this
insipid pacifistic bilge could fire men's spirits till they were
willing to die.
As a result, their miserable stuff 1 was useless, even harmful in
fact.
But the most brilliant propagandist
technique will yield no
success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind
constantly and with unfiagging attention. It must confine itself to
a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in
this world, persistence is the
first and most important
requirement for success.
