DOCILE MASS OPINION
, WAR-CREDITED PHENOMENON. “There is a phenomenon created by the war which menaces free institutions. That is the growth of the 8.8. C. as an, organ of Government propaganda,” said Mr W. R. Willis, president of the British Institute of Journalists, in a recent address. “In my view, the 8.8. C. is creating to ,an alarming extent a completely uriinstructed and docile mass opinion. This gradual destruction of the critical faculty is a potential political and social danger, for it is only on tire sober analysis of the facts that sound opinion can be formed.”
