SUBJECTS

FRANCE—
This film presents the political struggle for power in France among the moderate forces, the Communist elements and the rising power of General DeGaulle's followers.  This film helps the audience to understand the problems of post-war France, and the indomitable spirit of the French people.  It points to the paths of security or ruin of France.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA—
This film includes a complete history of Czechoslovakia from its birth at Versailles up to and including the Communist coup.  It dramatizes Soviet Russia's infiltration and pressure in the little democracy which was finally converted into another satellite state behind the Iron Curtain.  There is special footage on the Red Revolt under which Czechoslovakia capitulated.

GREECE—
This film records the heroic struggles of the people of Greece and the efforts being made for her return to economic and political order.  The film includes sequences on the difficulties being faced by the United States in aiding Greece against the Communist-inspired guerillas.  It portrays the importance of stopping further Soviet expansion in that part of the world.

GERMANY—
This film shows how Hitler led the Third Reich to domination over fifteen countries and how the Nazi timetable of conquest was ultimately overturned when the Allies joined forces.  The fall of Germany presents the four post-war occupying powers in Germany and their innumerable problems toward the establishment of peace in Europe.

ITALY—
This film records the story of modern Italy, with emphasis on its chaotic conditions since the end of the war.  It includes sequences of Italy's vital elections, the continued pressure by Soviet Russia and, particularly, Yugoslavia in the Trieste area.  It includes, likewise, absorbing sequences of Vatican City and the struggle of the Roman Catholic world against the doctrines of Communism and Atheism.  It shows the importance of Italy to American security.

TURKEY—
This film traces Turkey's history from the days when Constantinople was the capital of the Ottoman Empire to the present-day dictator-like government of Ismet Inonu and the continuing struggle of Turkey against Soviet Russia to retain control of the vital Dardenelles.  It presents vividly the role being played by the United States in that part of the world.

JOHN C. METCALFE
Famous Reporter — Washington Analyst — Veteran Lecturer

FORMER WASHINGTON DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENT
FOR TIME MAGAZINE AND NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE

MR. METCALFE is one of America's ace newspapermen.  With 21 years of reporting experience and over 1,000 professional lectures back of him, he has gained a wide reputation as a keen analyst of American foreign policy.

This famous reporter first focused national attention to subversive activities.  He lurned investigator-reporter and spent six exciting months inside the German-American Bund, disguised as a storm trooper and secret agent.  His revelations struck the floor of Congress and resulted ultimately in the prosecution of alien agents from coast to coast.  In this undertaking he was retained by the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice as an expert witness on Nazi and Fascist propaganda.

This great diplomatic correspondent has covered many famous international conferences in the United States, Europe and Latin America.  Since the end of World War II he has been back in Germany on six occasions, gathering first-hand information on all four zones of Allied occupation.

Are we near war with Soviet Russia?  How did we get into this situation?

Who are the men around the Secretary of State?  Who are the foreign policy advisers to the President?

What are the chances for World Government?  Should we build up a separate Germany?

What is wrong inside the State Department?  Will the European Recovery Program pay off?

Can we stop injecting domestic politics into our foreign policy?  Who is to blame for our troubles in world affairs?

Is the United Nations a guarantee of peace?  Can we stop Soviet Russia's plan for world conquest?
