Interesting text. It was probably very effective at the time. Similar techniques would probably work equally as well today if not for a diversity of opinions in the media.

The purpose of the CPI was to influence American public opinion toward supporting U.S. participation in World War 1 via a prolonged propaganda campaign. The CPI at first used material that was based on fact, but spun it to present an upbeat picture of the American war effort. In his memoirs, Creel claimed that the CPI routinely denied false or undocumented atrocity reports, fighting the crude propaganda efforts of "patriotic organizations" like the National security league and the American Defense Society that preferred "general thundering" and wanted the CPI to "preach a gospel of hate."

Ladies and Gentlemen:I have just received the information that there is a German spy among us—a German spy watching us.He is around, here somewhere, reporting upon you and me—sending reports about us to Berlin and telling the Germans just what we are doing with the Liberty Loan. From every section of the country these spies have been getting reports over to Potsdam—not general reports but details—where the loan is going well and where its success seems weak, and what people are saying in each community.For the German Government is worried about our great loan. Those Junkers fear its effect upon the German morale. They’re raising a loan this month, too.If the American people lend their billions now, one and all with a hip-hip-hurrah, it means that America is united and strong. While, if we lend our money half-heartedly, America seems weak and autocracy remains strong.Money means everything now; it means quicker victory and therefore less bloodshed. We are in the war, and now Americans can have but one opinion, only one wish in the Liberty Loan.Well, I hope these spies are getting their messages straight, letting Potsdam know that America is hurling back to the autocrats these answers:For treachery here, attempted treachery in Mexico, treachery everywhere—one billion.For murder of American women and children—one billion more.For broken faith and promise to murder more Americans—billions and billions more.And then we will add:In the world fight for Liberty, our share—billions and billions and billions and endless billions.Do not let the German spy hear and report that you are a slacker.
