To bear out his point of view Col

Prof. Walter B. Pitkin of Columbia
University: 1.-THE American motion
picture has, from all can gather from
both natives and Americans who have
been studying it in Japan, China and
India, done more to blacken the repu-
tation fthe white race in general and
the United States in particular than
all the malice and libel o fthe most
savage anti-American propagandists.'
An educated and wealthy woman of
Java, who had been deply impressed
with the American republic from her
reading, was planning to visit our

after seeing film after film filled with

sands of such cases.

clared Dr.. Albert w. Palmer Of Homo

"The films shown there misrepresent
American standards of life. They are
often so Objectionable that they are
stopped before they are finished. 1t

producers realized this they would
surely put on a different class OF pic

Holp, 80 many complaints have come

Doubtless the producers of such
films have been doing what they call a
prosperous business, but business of
this type does not mean prosperity for

be feasible to go ahead with the re-

case OF some countries, additional au-

1t was understood that the president
