AMERICA AND THE WAR.
CHARGES OF ‘-BUYING” PAPERS, FOR BRITISH PROPAGANDA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 24, 8.35 p.m. Washington, May 21 (Delayed). A new member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Michaelson, of Chicago, has revived the charges that the J, P. Morgan interests bought up in the United States Press for British propaganda during the war. Mr. Michaelson demands an investigation of what he terms a conspiracy, and an inquiry into the statements made by M. Hanotaux, former French Minister of War, and Sir Gilbert Parker. Mr. Michaelson charges M. Hanotaux with having stated that France was ready for peace late in 1914, but the Morgan interests, and Mr. Myron T. Herricks (United States Ambassador to France till December, 1914), and Mr. W. G. Sharp (who succeeded Mr. Herrick as Ambassador in Paris), dissuaded M. Hanotaux from this view, and promised to initiate a campaign to bring the United States into the conflict.
Represenative Calloway (Texas), in 1917, charged Morgan with securing twelve men to form a plan to secure control of 179 newspapers, but they found twenty-five sufficient for British propaganda.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
