Cover has some wear and soiling. Published for the Rule of Law Center, Duke University. Lewis Arthur Larson (July 4, 1910 - March 27, 1993) was an American lawyer, law professor, United Sta…tes Under Secretary of Labor from 1954 to 1956, director of the United States Information Agency from 1956 to 1957, and executive assistant for speeches for U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1957 to 1958. In 1941, during World War II, Larson moved to Washington, DC, when he mostly worked as an industry regulator at the Office of Price Administration. Over the next seven years, he produced the legal treatise Larson's Workers' Compensation Law. The treatise is continually updated and is still used by lawyers and judges today. The treatise was the first publication to treat workers' compensation as a distinct area of law with its own legal doctrines and rules for injured and deceased workers. It is currently 17 volumes in length. In 1953, Larson was appointed dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in Pittsburgh. Larson's status as an expert on the welfare state and his strong public speaking abilities led to appointment as Under Secretary of Labor in March 1954 in the Eisenhower administration. Eisenhower named Larson the director of the United States Information Agency in December 1956. After leaving the Eisenhower administration, Larson became a law professor at Duke University, where he specialized in international law, arms control, and disarmament. Professor Whitton was on the faculty of Princeton University. Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented. Propaganda is often associated with material which is prepared by governments as part of war efforts, political campaigns, revolutionaries, corporations, ultra-religious organizations, the media, and certain individuals such as soapboxers. In the 20th century, the term propaganda was often associated with a manipulative approach, but historically, propaganda has been a neutral descriptive term. A wide range of materials and media are used for conveying propaganda messages, which changed as new technologies were invented, including paintings, cartoons, posters, pamphlets, films, radio shows, TV shows, and websites. More recently, the digital age has given rise to new ways of disseminating propaganda, for example, bots and algorithms are currently being used to create computational propaganda and fake or biased news and spread it on social media. From a related journal article by Larson on the Propaganda in International Law: One may now summarize the entire sweep of the substantive law of propaganda. As to warmongering, subversive, and defamatory propaganda by states, the illegality of propaganda is established. As to the liability of states for acts of individuals, the special circumstances under which responsibility exists can be identified, with nonliability in other circumstances remaining the current rule. Finally, as to individuals themselves, they are substantively responsible for illegal acts committed on behalf of states, when the states themselves would be responsible, but for acts of private propaganda their responsibility is less dear, except where domestic statutes have dealt with the topic. This analysis of the current state of the substantive law of propaganda completes my assigned task in this symposium. It only remains to point out, as Professor Whitton and I are at great pains to do in our book, that the identification and publicizing of the substantive law of propaganda is only a beginning, but it is an indispensable beginning. There remains the question of the extent to which the world comm.
