The Manila Bureau of Domei receives daily dispatches from Canton, Stockholm, Lisbon, Berlin, Rome and similar places — all 'slants' of Domei correspondents. The most optimistic one goes into the local papers, even if it is completely false or ridiculous — though I doubt if the Japanese can determine if a story is either.

The fun begins when there are two articles on the same topic because they tend to be contradictory (a third article turns it all into a picnic). For example, the Tribune's "Serious Shortage of Gasoline in U.S. Predicted by 1943" becomes a "Catastrophic Shortage" in La Vanguardia, contradicted by the article itself with: "while the low price of raw oil ... is greatly hampering the enterprise of oil companies."
