This Is How We Do It The motion picture industry has jumped in to help the hungering children ol Central and Eastern Europe in a manner to do credit to itself. Herbert Hoover obtained immediate co-operation when the industry pledged itself to raise $2,500,000 of the country's quota. To make good this effort, the film trade organized itself almost overnight for the drive and began functioning. The point of this is that the motion picture people are really leading instead of being led. Their resources are not being used by others, but by themselves, toward the common end. They are directing their own campaign through the seventy-two regional directors named by Mr, Hoover. They are financing their own outlay and will return a net fund as their contributoin to the country's total, without obligation to anyone outside and without a penny of profit to anyone within the industry.
