There Was A Better Way
In all the comment about Warner Brothers propa-
ganda film, "Mission to Moscow/' none that we have
seen strikes closer to the heart of the blunder than an
editorial in the Saturday Review of Literature which
was initialed by the editor Norman Cousins
After discussing the film's terrible mangling both
of the original book and of history, and pointing out
that this was particularly undesirable because of the
semi official status enjoyed by the film, Mr Cousins
notes the most harmful feature of the producers error
The film, as it stands, he says, constitutes an un-
founded confession that there is no common ground
for understanding between the United States and
Soviet Russia, and therefore that it was necessary to
fabricate a common ground by presenting a picture
of Russia so false that "the whole thing would be
laughable if it weren't so tragic."
But in fact, there are ample grounds for mutual re-
spect and friendship which could have been stressed.
We are fighting in a common cause, in which the
Soviet is making a marvelous showing. "If you want
a motion picture that will help Americans to admire
Russian people, let them see what is happening in
Russia today," says Mr. Cousins
"Russia has not been a democracy in the past. But
does anyone think that the millions of Russian people
who hove had to go through such a hell on earth as ■........
has never been seen in order to save their country ands, cnu* or■ ethei *.bj<*

same blunder that others have made. They failed
to discriminate between the American reaction to
Russian heroism, the American appreciation of how
much we are profiting from what Russia is doing to
Hitler—and our intense dislike for the treacherous
tactics of the Communist party, as agent for the now
ostensibly defunct Comintern, in this country.
Understanding and friendship never can be found-
ed firmly on lies, half-truths, distortions and suppres-
sions. They must rest upon publicity, not propaganda
