" — Free India will not consider herself bound by any commitments the present alien government may choose to make with any foreign interests" — roared Sardar Vallabhhhai
widow is chased out of the house by the husband's brother, another Muslim.
But this incident, which looks both natural and dramatic in the story, cannot be used as an argument to say that the Muslim character is at a low level of degeneration.
If such simple incidents arc going to be used for some dirtv political propaganda on communalistic lines, it is going to be difficult to produce motion pictures in India.
The Indian film industry has a watchful Association which shouts and screams when the future of the industry is threatened. Well, this is a case which should receive the most serious attention of the Association. Once this poison starts spreading unchecked, it won't be long before the entire film trade is ruined. / •
The persons responsible for such dirty and malicious advertisements must lie made to apologise or in the alter native ostracised from the trade. That is the least thev deserve for their dirty work.

STILL AT IT
"Expert" K. S. Hirlekar who insists on calling himself the secretary of the Film "Delegation", though disowned by the official bodies in India, has recently doled out some more nonsense for local consumption in London.
Says Hirlekar, "The United States has during the past few years, helped to establish the film industry in Mexico and about 85,000,000 dollars capital has been involved. I am told that every attempt would be made to assist the Indian film industry by providing facilities for training Indian students and technicians."
This is just an idiotic talk. This fellow, who doesn t seem to know half the time what he is talking about, doesn't seem to realise that those six zeroes after 85 repre sent American gold dollars spent for establishing the American film industry in Mexico. They signify the zero hour of the indigenous film industry of Mexico if she has any at all now. The over-generous Yankees are always prepared to invest double the number of zeroes in India to sell entertainment to one-fifth of the world's population. In fact you can always look up to the Americans to estab lish any industry for any country if the profits are guaranteed to go home by the first boat. Americans never refuse business. And why should they when there are persons like Hirlekar in every country to mislead people by their idiotic talk?
We suppose Hirlekar has already invited half-a-dozen American producers to take the first ship to India loaded with dollars to establish the Indian film industry which has been struggling for the last thirty years to get some foothold.
