Hearst Propaganda Scheme Revealed in Senate Probe
Washington December 13. Testimony before the senate committee on brewers and propaganda outlines a German government plan to distribute pan German propaganda via a network of about 130 German employees, with operatives dispatched worldwide including the United States in 1914. Captain G B Lester described the Hearst service as key to German propaganda and noted articles written in German under German instruction. He cited telegrams and articles tied to the German embassy and press outlets and stated neither Hearst nor the International News Service were aware of the scheme. He said changes were made at President Wilson’s request in 1917 to publish a serialized piece on Japan and Mexico.
