Survey Graphic

The context:  advertisers in the socialist Survey Graphic include General Electric (Rockefeller?), James P. Warburg, and Corliss Lamont. For those who have noticed that millionaires tend to subsidize Communism, here we go again!  The Bankers are underwriting socialism.

Socialist push in articles urging ethnic merger of American whites with blacks and Hispanics.  Sense of merging the Western Hemisphere.

Flavor of “red front” given by the names of certain advertisers, i.e. Soviet “friendship” societies.  One article notices that “Canada” is the bridge between USSR and Chicago.

A long time ago, McGill University hired a bindery to collate all the “loose” issues of its old periodicals for archiving. To my astonishment, when I went to photograph Gomber’s Map advertisement, the bindery had torn off the front and back covers of all the issues before binding them. So the front and back with all that information was missing, as was the inside of the covers, which are often great sources of information. To show you what the cover of Survey Graphic looked like in February 1944, I offer you the cover of the American edition.
