Box 416, Hackensack, N. J. A-V Briefs COMMONWEALTH of NATIONS About 200 years ago British settlement colonies were scattered in newly discovered lands all over the world. The most prosperous (the 13 American small colonies) broke away. Then Canada was granted independence and the seed of the Ccmmonwealth had germinated. At the last Conference in London, Prime Ministers representit^ eight democratic nations from the five continents joined, without pact or treaty, for the common purpose of bringing peace, prosperity and plenty to their people. No better film has ever been presented to give a thorough picture of the countries and peoples of the British Commonwealth — from Canada to the Union of South Africa, from Ceylon to Au^'ralia — all so important to the Western World in its battle against Communism. 16MM 30 Minutes $75 per print Complete catalogues of other FILMS FROM BRITAIN, available at nominal rental and purchase prices, may be obtained free of charge by writing to: British Information Services 30 Rotliefeller Plaio, New York 20, N.
