NEW YORK. November 1s-Inac-
curate presentation by American mo-
ton pictures of peoples and customs
of other nations vest erday brought
criticism from Sylvino Gurgel de
United States.
I'm the undue haste Of producing
film," he told the American Brazil
ian Association, some isolated per-
sons lose regard for the feeling OF
foreign countries, distorting their
customs, language and social stand
ing"
The effect Of improper characteri-
cation in American films, he said, is
felt in every country. for there is no
part of the globe in which films from
the United States are not exhibited.
One picture shown in Rio de Janeiro,
he said, brought storm Of protest,
because it had portrayed the city as
sordid village. whose inhabitants
had no other occupation than dancing
the tango.
French Ambassador Speaks.
The army Of France as it is pictur-
ed in the movies is an inaccurate
presentation Of the gentlemen, who
are it's officers and soldiers. Paui
Claudel French Ambassador to the
United States, said last night at n
dinner given in his honor by the
Association of Foreign Press Core
spondents.
Recalling his impressions Of Holly
wood. where he had 'the honor TO
cross the sword with Miss Behe
Daniels" Mr. Claudel deplored tend
ency to exhibit films of French wars
in which that nations armies are
shown as collections of villainous |
looters.
"French soldiers and officers" he |
said ''are the same in Africa and /
Indo.China as they We're on the |
Marine. I know that it takes much |
time to change a type which has once |
caught the eye of the public. Even |
now the only thing many American |
cartoonists know about Frenchmen is /
that they are funny people with |
pointed boards and fiat-rimmed top |
hats.
Must Have Villains.
"The movie drama cannot do with
out villains, and it is better to choose
them from among people of other ma
tions, but have the right to say that
French soldiers in every latitude are
not what the film producers show TO
the American public and TO the public
IF all nations l could recommend that
they go for their types to books writ
ten by persons who know rather than
believing what they see in more or less
Bolshevistic newspapers.
"It is a mistaken idea TO believe that
France has natural taste for war,
making ready for combat just for the
fun of it. France suffered more from
the last war than any other nation.
None but a madman could believe she
is not franticallv determined to avert
new catastrophes. France is as ready
as any to try the American doctrine
10 outlaw war, and it's consuming de-
sire for peace is embodied in the poll
ces of its foreign minister. NJ. BRAND"
Upon America, Mr.. Claudel declared,
hangs the future of world peace. IF [
America vetoes war, there can be no
war" he said. "All by herself she
can do more than any League of Ma
tions. IT is a tremendous power and
responsibility, but it could not be in
better hands"

Thursday night the mob was at fever

Mexico and the Chinese

Mexico seeks to legislate against
Chinese immigration by stringent re-
strictions. This measure will serve as
protection against cheap labor, which
is we'll enough: but her policy to pro-
hibit marriages between Mexican wo-
men and Cinnamon bespeaks racial
preiudicee-Also her desire to segregate
those Chinese already within Mexico
shows she has imbued the spirit Of
racial prejudice from her larger neigh
boring sister country. Perhaps this is
quite natural; the weaker always i'm
itate the stronger, and the small folks
generally try to do what the larger
folks do, especially if they are able TO
get away with it.

Unable TO Fly Backward

The biological survey says that birds
cannot fly backward because the feath-
ers of birds point backward. so that II
bird attempted to fly backward the
air would force the feathers forward
and the resistance of the air would be
such that the bird could not make
progress.
