Abstract

A notable intensification of conflict between political and economic interest-groups has, within recent months, brought into the open, sensationally in many instances, a number of basic problems relating to the exploitation of the instrumentalities for disseminating news, opinion, and entertainment. The chronicling of all events in the field of communications having reference to public-opinion management is beyond the scope of this review. The purpose will be to underscore a few recent events and circumstances which seem to have special significance in relation to broad questions of public opinion. Civil war in Spain calls attention with peculiar force to the difficulties of maintaining neutrality safeguards under modern conditions. Recent of the neutrality problem have tended to place the primary emphasis upon basic considerations of economic self-interest and national honor. Several circumstances lend special importance to the Spanish conflict in relation to the neutrality problem and opinion formation and control.
