Campaign publicity bureau under Redfield in 1916 United States government
Washington special reports that the Department of Commerce under Secretary Redfield has turned the foreign and domestic commerce bureau into a Democratic campaign publicity arm.

Critics call it wasteful propaganda at public expense, with partisan reports and questionable statistics aiming to sway opinion rather than aid trade.
