The crisis through which this country passed in 1931 had its effect upon farm wages; forty-two out of forty-seven committees made downward revisions. In the mini mum figure. Two Welsh counties (Merioneth and

CHURCHILL AS FILM EDITOR

KORDA'S LATEST

SCHEME

INTELLIGENT "SHORTS"

•

1934.

The news that Mr. Winston Churchili has signed a contract with London Films to edit a series of informative pictures comes as no surprise to those who are famillar with Mr. Korda's ambitious plana for programme building, For long while he has been concerned with the problem of supplying in- telligent "shorts" with his feature pictures, and he has always been Interested in the Idea of using-the screen to make the man in the street familiar with the political and economic conditions of the world he lives in.

The present scheme is to produce a series of short pictures dealing with auch world problems as Gold, Unemployment, and the Future of Monarchy in a way that will make them clear to the ordinary picture- goor of any country. The subjects will be chosen by the Hon. Winstan Churchill, and will be made under his supervision by a staff of technical experts, while his son, Mr. Randolph Churchill, is to take an active part in their preparation,

"The iden," Mr. Korda says, ""is to Illustrate Mr. Churchill's speech with diagrams, bits of topical film, and other devices, and it will in- volve n considerable amount of work on trick atages, beaidos ex- tensive research. It should be interesting to the ordinary man and woman to see what is the gold standard, what is Fascism, and so on-to learn the meaning of the words they read in the newspapers and so often do not understand.
