himself states them. But he
completely fails to draw the
obvious conclusions.

“The United States cannot
afford another decline like
'that which has characterized
the past decade and a half,”
he says. :

“We are not omnipotent. We
are no longer invulnerable ...
only self-delusion can keep us
from admitting our decline to
ourselves,” he writes, with
much more to the same effect.

Then. comes the. touch of the
cold-war fanatic who refuses
to recognize that a. fundamen-
tal.change is essential.

For, despite the great de-
cline in America’s standing, “‘it
‘is futile now. to debate the
causes of this state of affairs,”
he says.

“What is needed even more
than different policies is a dif-
ferent style and a more dyna-
mic attitude.”

In other words, the mixture
as before only more of it and
dressed up differently. And he
gives us this with a vengeance.

One of those nightmare-like
arguments is going -on in the
United States. Should H-bombs
be used primarily to destroy
military centres— wiping out
civilians as a secondary by-
product, or should they be fir-
ed at civilian centres—and de-
stroy military targets as a by-
product?

Prof. Kissinger gives pages
to this ghastly ‘argument which
amounts to suicide whichever
view is taken. But, after show-
ing there are dangers, he calls
for a big increase in conven-
tional forces—meaning - more
men in uniform for Nato. Far
from a reduction in nuclear
weapons he wants more of
them,

to and some form of confedera-
tion for the North Atlantic
group of nations—a kind of
super Common Market. This
would in fact bring America
into a military, political and
economic organisation in
which Britain and other sec-
ond-class Powers would lose
their sovereignty.

NEW YORK — A new cycle
of anti-Nazi films, some of
them probing somewhat deep-
er into the crimes of the Hitler
gang and their financial back-
ers than did the films of the
30s and 40s, is making its ap-
pearance under the impact of
the Eichmann Trial.

They are being made in
Europe and. in Hollywood by
movie-makers of various na-
tionalities, not a few of them
of strong anti-Nazi and anti-
fascist principles. Some are
fiction films. Others are in the
form of documentaries. Both
types of films are utilizing ma-
terial found in the archives of
World War Two. Included are
newsreels and documentaries
shot by the Nazis themselves.

First and foremost is the
powerful Swedish anti-Hitler
film “Mein Kamf,” released in
the U.S. by Columbia pictures.

“Mein Kamft”’ had a vast au-
dience in Europe where it il-
Iuminated for the masses of
youth in particular the horrors
and the lessons of the Hitler
era.
In Israel at this moment is
Erwin Leiser, the Swedish pro-
ducer-director of “Mein Kamf.”
His purpose in being there is
to put the finishing touches to
his new full-length documen-
tary movie about Eichmann.
It should be ready for viewing
by summer time. Its maker
describes his Eichmann film
“authentic document”
“original footage

from heretofore unpublished
internal instruction films used
by the Nazis” and “footage de

This should be a powerful
sequel to “Mein Kamf” and we

the new picture will be donat-

The new wave .of anti-Hitler
films includes the Grade B
“Quickie” “Operation Eich-
mann” which was produced in
less than a month to capitalize

on the opening of the trial. It

has a few good things in it, in- |

cluding a shot of Eichmann (a

portrayal) boasting that the
Nazi movement was gaining

ground in country after coun-
try and would continue to ad-
vance éven if he were hanged.
It is noteworthy that “Cpera-
tion Eichmann’’ was banned in
West Germany. The Fitm Cen-
sors called_it ‘a false simplifi-
cation of the Nazi era.” As
though it. were . possible for
anyone to over-simplify the
monstrous crimes committed
by Hitler and Eichmann.

What can be anticipated of
the major anti-Nazi films of
our time is “Judgement at
Nuremberg,” a dramatization
of the War Crimes Trials, now
being made abroad by Holly-
wood producer-director. Stan-
ley Kramer. Kramer’s name
for some years, has been con-
nected with a large group of
meritorious and. thought-pro-
voking films such as “The
Defiant Ones,” against racism,
“On the Beach,” against atom-
ic war, and “Inherit the Wind”,
