FILMINDI A
April 1941
And with the crowd of nineteen members taken without inquiring into their educational attainments or their qualifications in other walks of life besides their technical knowledge, how do the Government intend to carry out the primary object of disseminating correct information and of making one part of the Empire interested in another? How many from this crowd of members are actually qualified to give a considered opinion or advice in this matter to the Government? For that matter, how many members even know correctly the extent of the British Empire, its dominions, colonies and mandated territories. We would suggest a surprise test of this knowledge to prove our argument. Surely, Sir Reginald realises the tremendous potentialities of the film as an instrument of propaganda and is also not unaware of the fact that a wrong type of propaganda would react badly in these times of emergency.
If correct information is one of the basic aims of the efforts of the Board, why was there no mention made of the Indian troops fighting in Egypt in the "Drums in the Desert," a propaganda film produced by the British Ministry of Information, when every paper in the country stated that Indian troops were fighting with considerable valour? If, for reasons of their own, which are no longer a secret to us, the British Ministry forgot to mention the Indians, was it not the duty of the Film Advisory Board to find a place for the Indians — at least to support the reports in the papers?
With this confusion of aims, objects, ideas and ideals, which even after eight months of working seem still too hazy to be relied upon, the Board has taken upon itself an expenditure of over Rs. 4500| per month, has already spent Rs. 87,873] in production, apart from office maintenance, in eight months and promises to spend a further sum of Rs. 3,07,080 in the current year.
And probably to watch all this money being spent the Government have appointed Mr. H. W Smith of the "Times of India", as their representative justifying the choice of the man with "his long business experience as Director and Business Manager of an important Bombay firm and his knowledge of accounts."
