22 COMMUNISM IN MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY SO that Americans would be able to watch for that sort of thing in our own country and be able to resist it. Mr. Warner. Pardon me. May I offer a list of 43 films — 43 of maybe 100 or more dating back to '1917, when I produced My Four Years in Germany, under the former Annbassador to Germany at that time, James W. Gerard. If you go right on down through this list you will find a real effort to do exactly as you stated a few minutes ago in your rather lengthy speech — which was good. I want to repeat that. I don't think we should be too tense on this. Being too tense, I think you end up without any tense. Here is a photostatic copy of a review in a Motion-Picture News magazine, March 23, 1918, virtually 30 years ago. It is in 10 reels. If you want to see it it is a silent film and runs for about an hour and a half. It told the story of what led up to World War I and between World War I and World War II. This is my opinion of what it did. The pictures speak for themselves. May I offer that in evidence? Mr. Nixon. I would like to have these pictures made a part of the record at this point.
