The movies over simplify life and hu- man character, Everybody is looking for. an answer to the meaning of life. - What's it all about? they want to know. And Hollywood tries to supply them with ready- made answers. Most of them are very bad and a great many of them must have had a very bad effect upon not only our young people but older ones too who should know-better, One of the first things that Hollywood did was to drive home.the idea that ma- terial wealth was of supreme value. There are-few pictures turned out of the world of artifice that we call Hollywood which fail to convey the idea that money is some- thing basic to happiness--that is money enough to indulge desires and ensure a ir- responsible freedom in which one has the leisure to experiment high living, heavy drinking and low thinking. = And this, in spite of that fact, that the every-day man - of the nation is going to be hard put to. find the price of his cigarettes without cut- ting into the family budget and exposing "his family to a shoeless spring. The second thing that Hollywood has done is sell a spurious kind of. physical, mystical and unrealistical._ kind of love. This particularly appeals to the young and has led them into the error of writing romance with a capital R, It is quite easy 'to understand why So. many of them feel cheated when they come to put their Holly- wood yardstick to work as a measure of conjugal bliss. The trouble is, of course, that what they see on the screen is real for. them . . . and nothing but reel after reel for those who 'throw them together. Human beings are much more complex. than the movies will let them be . . - they want to tell you all about the character in one short film . . simple . . . simple isn't it? Unfortunately so many people believe that people are what they appear to be in the movies . .. perhaps, that's why we scare so easily. - es 'we protect Formosa . . . so they make him- myer: as NOTES AND COMMENTS WE SHALL COME TO UNDERSTAND 'Perhaps, the day is not far: off when East and West will come to understand each other better than we-do today. In the midst of the greatest socjal revolution that has ever disturbed the history we live and try to understand what is happening to us. Asia which has slept in feudal lethargy and its accompanying banditry is | beginning to shake off the chains which bound it. Some of those chains we of the West helped to forge. We, in the past, found it expedient to exploit both the labour and the riches of the East; now we find it inexpedient to have her doff her slavery particularly under the guise of. militant Communism.. How contradictory must we sound . . . we who prate ory peace . . . power within our means, strive to make the United Nations function as a world agency for human peace and human better- ment, how contradictory our words and our detions . . We fight the Viet Nam in Indo-China . . . we cling to Malaya . . . and though we have a just cause in Korea + «+ . we defend. a Sighman-Righ . 'How can we ped Agia that we wel- come her awakening but deprecate 'her militant Communism. How can Asia learn to understand the contradictions that are inherent in our culture ? i Certainly the solution is not to be found in war. For us to think that Asia plans the con- quest of the world is too simple a basis for intelligent action; for Asia to regard us as imperialists just as erroneoous. . On the basis of such thinking we can come peril- ously close to destroying civilization of both the West and the East, A. civilization that can produce atoinic cnergy should be able to find a way other than in a resort to force that cannot fail to be self-destructive. We must believe there is a way and we myst set ourselves to find it. = who sincerely and with every . MEETING JANUARY 2nd. 1951 CANADIAN LEGION, BRANCH 419 .
