DOJ. 'VjÎL--: ô EXTRACT FROM A LETTIK PROM MR. PIEMEN'S-A ^

dated 2nd December 1922.

D. As regards photographe : I am in some doubt as

you do not tell me the number required or the object

in view. I can obtain prints from various people,

if these would meet the oase; if negatives are essen­

tial I shall have to get photographs taken (which I

intend to do in any oase) and I am afraid that photo-

l l graphs taken here in the camps now would not be suf­

ficiently heartrending for good propaganda work, as

the refugees are mostl^bheerful and clothed I However

I will do my best to get something useful, but perhaps

you will write more fully your exact requirements.

Does Dr. Nansen intend to make use of cinematograph

films? Those, it seems to me, would be very much more

effective. The N.E.R. publicity man took films at

Smyrna and in Eastern Thrace and the I.B.C. have done

so here.

L . .. .My dear Philip,

« Thanks for your letter of the 5th, re

photographs of refugees. This Is not so easy a matter

a s you might suppose: the refugees all look too cheer­

ful, they have mostly got sufficient clothes and food,

the weather Is perfect, and there 1.s very little really

acute distress. Moreover, It Is quite Impossible to

find anyone here who really understands how to take the

right kind of photograjttis - they take groups of grinning

refugees, and so forth ! However, I have now obtalnec,

quite a good camera myself, and hope to get something

useful - but it will take time. You really should have a

"publicity man" travelling round, photographing and

reporting. That would be the only way of getting really

comprehensive infomation and pictures.

I have heard, nothing of any embargo on the

export of photographs. On the contrary the Govt put their

stock of photos at my disposal - it was , however, of very

little use, as only the positives were available and they

were not good enough for reproduction. I might be able to

get you a copy ( positive!i.e. for show but not for

printing ) of a cinematograph film taken by the Govt in

Thrace, showing the evacuation etc!, Would It be of any

use ?

Yours ever,

-

My dear Johnson,

Propaganda for Near East Refugees.

I have Just received from FIelden a copy of an

extract from a Report he has sent In. There Is some

sob stuff In the middle which Is exactly what we

need for propaganda with the societies. I will try

and make some U3 e of It here, but I suggest that the

societies in various countries could make use of it

with Immense effect if it came Into their hands.

Your s ever.
