Multnomah Portland 12, Oregon (Continued jruin page 310) plain how Britain's importing has been curtailed; how the Lend-Lease is helping the British; how they ration their foods. British nutrition experts report on the health of their people under war conditions. "Food As It Might Be," the last part, suggests post-war responsibilities of all nations. Shots taken during the last war reveal children dead from starvation, crippled children, scorched fields, burned villages, emaciated cattle. These results indicate the scope of the problem confronting nations after this war. Pictures of the Churchill-Roosevelt meeting on the Atlantic strike the keynote of postwar planning— freedom from want for all men. A diagram explains the individual's responsibility to the state to maintain good health and the state's obligations to the individual to pro- vide him with necessary materials. Scientists are shown experimenting with grain, cattle, and soil. The commentator explains that nations should pool their knowledge for in- creased production. The experts point out that after the war, the Allied Nations have three responsibilities to perform for themselves and for the conquered countries; grow more food for their own people; grow more food for starving countries; give scientific aid to the stricken coun- tries. Throughout the film a number of experts report tlieir findings and suggestions. Some of these are Claude R. Wickard, former U. S. Secretary of Agriculture; Lord Woolton, British Minister of Food; Mr. Wellington Foo, Chinese Ambassador to Great Britain; and President Roose- velt. The film closes with Vice-President Wallace's speech on the "century of the common man" and a final plea in the film for a control of food production that will insure every- one's having enough of the right kind of food in order to effect freedom from want. Committee Appraisal: The story of man and food—past, present, and future—is told by two men, a commentator and a heckler. The many facets of the problems—a secure, adequate and suitable supply of food for every man—are challengingly presented through the creative use of ani- mated diagrams, pertinent pictorial material, trick optical eflfects and recorded declarations of world citizens and scientists. Highly recommended for secondary and college classes in social studies, home economics, agriculture and economics and for assembly programs, adult groups and forums. This Too is Sabotage (Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, Vis- ual Education Section, Mansfield, Ohio) 28 minutes, 16mm. sound. Produced by Roland Reed, Hollywood. Purchase price $52.32, rental free from distributor. The film presents the problem of health sabotage in homes and industrial plants. That malnutrition is an important factor in home defense is attested by the fact that 450.000,000 man days were lost last year because of fatigue, that four out of every ten draftees cannot meet the physical require-
