	Description:	Truman Calls For Anti-Communism Media Blitz Washington, DC President Harry S. Truman, addressing American editors, sounds the battle cry for an offensive against communist propaganda throughout the world. "The cause of freedom is being challenged throughout the world today by the forces of imperialistic communism. This is a struggle above all ends for the minds of man. Propaganda is one of the most powerful weapons that communist have in this struggle. --- the United States is a nation of war mongers and imperialists. You and I know how absurd this is. We know that the United States is wholly dedicated to the cause of peace. We have no purpose going to war except in the defense of freedom. I am convinced that we should greatly extend & strengthen our effort to make the truth known to the people all the world. Another major part of our effort to be carried out by our great public information channels. News papers, magazines, radio and motion pictures. We must make ourselves heard around the world in a great campaign of truth."
