It is high in instruc- tional value and we are receiving many fine reports of its use in the Oakland Public Schools." Gardner L. Hart "An exceptionally timely presentation of a vital subject. The film was well conceived and skillfully produced. It is a subject which should be shown to students in all public schools and it is particularly adaptable for showing to social science classes. I recom- mend it heartily." R. O. Blomfleld "Excellent presentation of the economic position of the U.S.; social and political gains less stressed. Photography and sound good. This film could be considered outstanding with some little deletion of footage." J. Frederic Andrews "Moves very fast. Commentary rapid. I think above reviews are too favorable."
