Student Hits Russians For Early Propaganda

Russian propaganda against the United States was active even during World War II, Richard J. Barnett '52 1L disclosed yesterday. A former worker for the Harvard Russian Research Bureau, Barnett was one of 40 delegates from New England colleges attending a foreign policy conference at Wellesley College.

He added that Russian propaganda emphasizes "police state" techniques employed by America, pointing to the United States as a land under more government control than the U.S.S.R.. Barnett commented that some success in acquainting the Russians with America had been achieved by the Voice of America.

Also speaking at the forum was Navroz B. Vakil gr.L., unofficially representing the Indian people. Vakil remarked that India feels the United States is making a grave error in not recognizing Red China. "Red China will never come to an agreement with the United States," he said, "unless they facilitate a common meeting ground such as the United Nations."
