DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Proper Relationship Between the Army and the Press in War: Prepared by the War College Division, General Staff Corps, as a Supplement to the Statement of a Proper Military Policy for the United States When other means have failed and the country has decided on war the Army and Navy are the only agencies of the Government by which it can obtain its desired ends. They become paramount, and every utility and influence within the country should be brought to their aid. The press, powerful in peace, may become more so in war. By its editorials and presentation of news it may sway the people for or against the war and thus stimulate recruiting and hearten and encourage the fighting forces in their work or, by adverse criticism, may tend to destroy the efficiency of these agencies. Again by publishing news of the movements and numbers of our own troops valuable information can be conveyed to the enemy.
