HOLLYWOOD VIEW OF U.S.
EFFECTS IN MIDDLE AND FAR EAST (R ee- 7 p.m ) NEW YORK, May 31. Hollywood sex and gangster films had made the peoples of the Orient ana the Middle East think of the United States as a “kiss kiss and bang bang nation, said Mr Brooks Emeny president Gf the Foreign Policy Association, to-day. He said this outlook was caused by “visual impressions of our materialism, immorality, and general civilisaI tion derived from cheap, shoddy Hollywood products.” Communist propaganda found a fertile field in j the Middle East and the Far East. Un- ■ less the West acted soon to improve ' living conditions those areas would be • lost to Communism. He advocated strong support of President Truman’s programme. One dollar well spent in the Middle East and the Far East could accomplish as much as 1000 dollars in Europe, he said.
