330.973-331.2 EDUCATIONAL FILM CATALOG 1943 EDITION WAKE UP AMERICA. (American prog- ress ser.) 12min l6-sd-$20; rent $2 1940 Am films found 330.973 Jh-sh Produced under the direction of R. F. Bailey, this film is dedicated to the American way of peace, freedom and prosperity for all. It is a review of the American way "This grandiose presentation of American material development since 1880 stresses that only in America is such development possible because of the so called 'Ameja«an System.' It makes for good Americanism'^but appears a little far fetched to this critic. The success and stability of our government might have been due to that intangible pioneer spirit so evident in a high percentage of our population. How- ever, though I disagree with the premise upon which this film is based I consider it a very worthwhile film and it should be shown to all children in junior and senior high schools as it contains a wealth of material that would make for interesting discussions in home room or social studies cla.sses."

"The filirf shows the injustices of this employment agency racket, and clearly visual- izes the careful and thorough police methods used to obtain conviction of offenders under diflicult circumstances.

It shows the centralization of industry before the war and then shows the decentralization of industry as a result of the war. Special emphasis is placed on how the workers are taken care of in their travels to their new places of employ- ment. "It also shows how the workers have ad- justed themselves to their new war time tasks. New types of factories, lighting, and other in- novations brought on by the 'blackouts' are shown. The film stresses the point that the government realizes the importance of healthy, happy and industrious workers. "The photography and narration are good. There is a bit of propaganda which is to be expected i« a film of this type. "Could be used in high school or college classes studying labor conditions, decentraliza- tion of industry or how a country must readjust itself in times of emergency. It is an excel- lent film for the studying of current events."

To what extent can unemployment be relieved by seeking larger markets, by ad- justment of prices, wages, and dividends? How can management coordinate its own long-term self-interest with the needs of the workers and the consumer? Instead of attempting to answer these questions, the film poses them against the background of managerial organization, asking the audience not to overlook the realities in- volved CFC $3 NYU $3 MILLIONS OF US. 20min 16-sd-sale apply; rent $7.50 1936 BraF 331.13 sh-c Produced by American labor production inc.
