through an increasing lack of resources which will be needed when the
war ends.  It should be made clear that the responsibility for the bad
conditions which are bound to exist at the close of the war will rest
squarely upon the Nazi leaders who, solely in frantic efforts to save
their own skins, are deliberately wasting German resources.  The point
here is that it is not so much a question of what policy the 
Allies
 will pursue once they get there but how much destruction of Germany's
own resources will have resulted meanwhile.
 
 
METHODS
 
 
There should be no appeals whatever by Allied authorities.  In
announcements all media we should use the technique of issuing only
news and objective commentaries.  These may be used skillfully to be
put across propaganda points (largely through selection and emphasis)
but they should be handled as atatements of fact and not as attempts to
persuade.  In this output, the Allies should particularly emphasize:
 
 
1.  Announcements and warnings from the Allied military authorities.
 
 
2.  News of punishment of war criminals and recalcitrant Germans
generally.
 
 
3.  Any news that can be found about occasional clashes between
law-abiding Germans and Nazi outlaws.
 
 
4.  Factual and colorful news of orderly life in Allied occupied enemy
territory (both German and non-German).  This should cover the orderly
appearence of the towns, the justice of Allied authorities, the
cooperation of local sub-officials, the number of babies born, the fact
that women still hang out the wash.
