In the wake of the US occupation and in the midst of global war, Lescot had to dispel any suspicion of a backdoor US invasion through SHADA partners and US banks. Additionally, he needed the popular support or silence of the Black peasant population who inhabited the land needed for rubber cultivation. For these reasons, SHADA, Lescot, and minister of agriculture Maurice Dartigue spent time and resources on national goodwill campaigns and newspaper production to put a celebratory spin on the project — the propaganda apparatus was itself an admission that the project could not survive honest scrutiny.
