California is proud to call itself the home of the Motion Picture Industry. Until recently motion pictures were California's largest peace-time industrial export and added greatly to the nation's favorable balance of trade. Almost 90% of the total of national expenditures for film production was made in this state.
More important, however, than the significant contribution which the Motion Picture Industry is making to the welfare of our economy is its influence upon our culture. It is giving to the American people, in fact to the people of the free world, an interpretation and appreciation of the traditions, customs and manner of living of all nations. It has become recognized as a forceful medium for the advancement of international relationships.
In these troubled days when the establishment of world peace has become the goal of all mankind America is fortunate in possessing an industry so skilled in portraying our democratic way of life. It is unbelievable that a system of totalitarianism can survive in any country when its people have become acquainted with democratic process. Through faithful portrayals of the individual freedoms and the opportunities which are characteristic to our way of life every person in the Motion Picture Industry is contributing not only to his own nation's welfare, but to the cause of peace throughout the world.
