In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests...and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the US... They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers.
An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.
