FILM EVALUATIONS hy L. C. Larson and Carolyn Guss Wilson's Fight For Peace (The McGmw-Hill Text Films, 330 West 42nd Street, New York 36, New York) Produced by CBS Television. 26 minutes, 16mm, sound, hb-w, 1958, $135. Description: This filmed television program traces President Wilson's efforts on behalf of the League of Nations from December, 1918, until his death. The narrative emphasizes his decision to participate personally in the peace conference, his triumphant reception by Europeans and again bv Americans upon his return for a short time in February, his final negotiations and the signing at Versailles, his direct appeal to the people on a western tO'U', and his death amid signs that the world was already becomin.; unsafe for democracy. The commentary, based on newsreel footage, is by Walter Cronkite, narrator for the Twentieth Century series. Amid rejoicing on battlefields and in cities on November 11, 1918, when all men seemed to be brotheis. President Wilson declared that the United States had won all the tilings for which the first World War had been fought. Despite political reverses in Congressional elections just six days before the Armistice, Wilson announced his intentions to present to the Senate a treaty as an accomplished fact, and for the first time in our nation's history a president went abroad to particpate personally i.i jjcace negotiations. His arrival in Brest aboard the liner George Washington produced so great a religious fei-vor as to make him appear the greatest evan gel since Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount. Wilson's friends back home urged him to quiet the rumblings which had begun, even before his departure, by visiting .\mcrican doubhboys still under arms in L'rance on Christmas Day and to better his relations with the press. But popular receptions in England and Italy encouraged Wilson, despite some coolness in official attitudes. Even Clemenceau's symbolism of resistance, when the conference got under way on January 18, failed to dissuade the president from his championship of the League. Upon his return to the United States the next month to sign certain bills into law, the tremendous reception given him everywhere but in Washington provided the greatest hour of his life.
