FACTS TO A CANDID WORLD
America’s Overseas Information Program
Oren Stephens
Published in 1955. Essential to the security and well-being of a nation is the good opinion of other nations.
The molding of international public opinion by propaganda is a vital function of government and one that should be understood by every citizen whom government serves. In, Facts to a Candid World, Oren Stephens, who has broad theoretical background and working experience in journalism and public relations, discusses propaganda - what it is, why it is important, and how t o make it internationally effective.
As the author points out: "As public opinion is ultimately decisive within a state or empire, so is it ultimately decisive in the international arena."
The first part of the book describes the power and nature of public opinion. The second part discusses America's overseas program, showing its weaknesses and strengths. Beginning with the Creel Committee, Stephens describes the work of the Office of War Information, the Voice of America, the International Information Administration, the United States Information Agency, and other official agencies.
A pioneer study in the field of psychological warfare, Facts to a Candid World, is an analysis of the nature of propaganda, a credo for the specialist, and an explanation for the citizen.

Book
This is a reproduction edition from the 1976 publication.
This is an exhaustive analysis of national and international arms control: its history, philosophy, cultural context, technology, economic and political ramifications, achievements, and future prospects. The book reflects the combined contributions of the Stanford Arms Control Group, an interdisciplinary group of nearly twenty faculty members who have been jointly teaching an undergraduate arms control course at Stanford University since 1971.
The book will assist the general reader in understanding and forming intelligent opinions on such issues as the role of doctrine in military strategy, the difficulties posed by rapidly changing technology, and the value limitations of arms control as a way to prevent war. It is also designed as supplementary reading for courses in international relations, diplomatic history, and foreign policy.
An appendix contains the text of eighteen major arms control agreements. The volume concludes with discussion questions and suggestions for further reading.

Report on the International Law of Pacific Coastal Fisheries
$12.43
Book
This report on the international law of fishery problems has been divided into two parts. It has been our purpose to devote one part-the purely scientific part-to a clear, brief, accurate, and uncolored summary of the technical facts disclosed by research. For that part, which will be published separately later, including no thesis, no propaganda, no opinion on projects for the future, Dr. Stefan Riesenfeld is responsible. To him belongs the credit for the patient, competent work of investigation and compilation.
The other part of the report, covered by this publication, is founded on Dr. Riesenfeld's research but is not confined to a statement of facts. It is a commentary on the research, . an interpretation of the facts, and a critical opinion of the possibilities of development of international practice (law) in the interests of justice; peace, and conservation. For this part of the report I am responsible. It does not necessarily express Dr. Riesenfeld's opinions, although I believe that in the main he agrees with me. It is a brief, and as a brief which seeks to influence others and to convert a phalanx of American legal opinion saturated with traditional doctrine, it has been modeled for emphasis. It is not a cold, bare, flat picture of events, but a selective arrangement of essential facts placed in bas relief. I think that I have made no statement of fact that is not accurate, no statement of opinion as to possibilities that should not meet with assent when the facts disclosed by our report are realized and my statement is interpreted correctly. Nevertheless opinions of the well informed as to law and policy may differ from mine, chiefly, I think, because of those fundamental differences in basic philosophic and temperamental motivations which commonly cause important differences of opinion between intelligent men on all matters of politics and government that do not so concern their immediate personal affairs as to prejudice their opinions accordingly.
Trade, Finance, and Development in Pakistan
$19.00
Book
Nearly all challenges, frustrations and triumphs which characterize economic processes in the developing countries are represented in Pakistan. There are acute problems of population pressure, illiteracy, lack of modern skills and shortage of capital and balance of payments deficits. But Pakistan also has its share of positive factors: a government and people with vision and determination, a willingness to study, learn and exert the necessary effort to win a respected place among modern nations. Of great importance is its climate of receptiveness to foreign enterprise, skills and ideas, and a determination to search everywhere for techniques in order to master them and use them in achieving a self-sustaining rate of progress.
Both authors have been closely associated with development in Pakistan and other countries for many years through living and studying in Burma, Pakistan and several other Asian countries, as well as through research for national and international agencies.
Businessmen, bankers and economists wishing to secure an up-to-date account of Pakistan's trade and payments, banking and public finance and its plan for economic growth will find this book useful.

Addresses Upon the American Road, 1950-1955
$21.37
Book
Great changes have taken place in America during the years since 1950.Her influence overseas has swelled; she has participated in the Korean War;she has a new leadership. To Herbert Hoover, who has known what it is to guide the affairs of the nation, these changes have special significance. With great wealth of experience, he sees them in the light of history. In this book are his speeches, press statements, articles, letters, and miscellaneous short publications during this strongly marked period of American history.
Foreign policy is a major topic: from the proposals of January 27, 1952, that America's might be turned to air and sea power rather than ground forces, to the speeches in Germany during the winter of 1954. There are many statements on internal affairs; of special interest are the reports on the Second Reorganization Commission and the statement recommending liquidation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
But there are also many non-political utterances, and in these the breadth of Hoover's character is displayed. For here is a man who can discuss Agricola's De Re Metallica, a man of deep religious conviction, a man of wry humor and immense humanity. Witness his remarks on "The City Boy": "He is a part-time incarnation of destruction, yet he radiates sunlight to all the world. He gives evidence of being the child of iniquity, yet he makes a great nation.
. . . Every one of his body cells contains an interrogation point. Yet he is the most entertaining animal in existence."
THE AUTHOR
Herbert Hoover, thirty-first President of the United States, has unsurpassed firsthand knowledge of world-wide economic and political problems. His many years of professional engineering service before the Presidency, his distinguished record as United States food administrator after World War I, and his extensive food surveys following World War I1 form a solid foundation of experience and service. A unique contribution has been his chairmanship of the First and Second Commissions on Organization of the Executive Branch of Government. He has received honorary degrees from eighty-one institutions in the United States and abroad. He is the founder of the Hoover Institute and Library on War, Revolution, and Peace at his alma mater, Stanford University.
