SENATOR OWEN SAYS WORLD SHOULD UNDERSTAND STRUCTURE OF FOREIGN OFFICES
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On December 18, 1923, Senator Robert L. Owen* (D-Oklahoma), speaking on the floor of the United States Senate, declared...
"It is of supreme international importance that the world should understand the structure of...foreign offices and what they did in bringing on the world war. How they subsidized and controlled the press, how they formed public opinion...and taught the people to fear and hate...and build up armies..."
The Senator, having toured Europe last summer and now privy to new information about events leading up to the world war, said the "great mass of evidence" discloses that Germany was not exclusively responsible for the war.
