The Foreign Language Information Service, now a department of the American Red Cross, deals with the foreign-language press from a different angle. The Inter-Racial Council is a propagandist organization. It is seeking to control radicalism and Bolshe vism. It wants to improve laboring conditions, but it wants to preserve the existing order. It seeks to educate both the foreign-born employee and the native employer. The Information Service, on the other hand, is a bureau of information. It confines itself to sending out to the foreign-language papers information in regard to the activities of the different departments of the government. It is not directly concerned with radicalism or the class war. It is a news service. It measures its success by the number of items which it succeeds in getting printed." [SOURCE: Park, Robert Ezra.
