The Doom of History
The opposition in this year has already imported into this campaign a very interesting thing because it's foreign. They have imported the propaganda technique invented by the dictators abroad. Remember, a number of years ago, there was a book, Mein Kampf, written by Hitler himself. The technique was all set out in Hitler's book, and it is copied by the aggressors of Italy and Japan. According to that technique you should never use a small falsehood. Always a big one. For it's very fantastic nature would make it more credible if only you keep repeating it over and over and over again.

For example—although I rubbed my eyes when I read it—we have been told that it was not a Republican depression, but a Democratic depression from which this nation was saved in 1933; that this administration—this one, today's—is responsible for all the suffering and misery that the history books and the American people always thought had been brought about by the twelve ill-fated years when the Republican party was in power.
