Attorney General Biddle told Congress that foreign government propaganda activities in the United States have expanded in scope and expense. A 560-page report covering 1942 to 1944 cites more than 12,000 propaganda items annually and 34 governments involved, with 16 main official information centers increasing expenditures from 1942 to 1944 and employing more staff.
