50 THE TECHNIQUES OF SOVIET PROPAGANDA The league should first acquire powerful media of communcation: newspapers, radio and television stations, and publishing houses. With these tools it would undertake the following tasks, in cooperation with other, already existing organizations: ; (a) To dihgently Testoy all the daily swarm of sophisms circulated to au port the international politics of the Kremlin, by means of bok refutations which the league would strive to have published by the most influential newspapers.
