have taken more than one step, for under the pressure of necessity we have

accomplished more than would have been judged possible in calmer

moments. We do know that the first steps are in the right direction. They have been, as Mr. Bloom states in his Bill for extending existing programs, "for the purpose of promoting that mutual understanding between peoples which is the true and essential foundation for durable peace."

GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY WORKS BOTH WAYS

Three Latin American students at the Pennsylvania State College, State

College, Pennsylvania, have made a short film which they plan to circulate in their own countries to help bring about a better understanding of the United States. The film which is in color, shows the Fourth of July community parade in the town of State College. Included among the marchers are Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Legionnaires and Veterans of Foreign Wars, some in the uniforms of this war, drum and bugle corps, high-school band, uniformed volunteer fire

companies with their apparatus, etc. It is a colorful presentation of the parade and the community groups which take part in such a celebration.

The students explained that people in their countries would be interested to see the colorful pageantry of one of our national holiday celebrations, just as we would be interested to see one of theirs. At the same time, the film will

bring to them more than just a picture of a holiday celebration; for it will call attention to the groups which take part in such an event and will help to give an idea of this phase of community life in a town of this size in the United States. Even the shots of the main street with its buildings and crowds of

people lining the sidewalks to watch the parade will be of interest and help to fill in the picture of the community.

The picture was pre-viewed and approved by one of the college classes in visual education. The film was financed and photographed by the Latin Ameri- can students themselves. They also have made supplementary shots showing scenes of the campus and college life in color.-JoHN E. DUGAN, in "The Film and International Understanding," The Educational Screen, 23:298, September, 1944.
