Trivia
Louis De Rochemont, producer and publisher of the March of Time, described the new March of Time release, "The Refugee - Today and Tomorrow," for the benefit of the 500 delegates assembled over the weekend at Utica, N. Y., for the convention of the New York State Emergency Conference of the United Palestine Appeal in December 1938. Mr. De Rochemont spoke on "The Battle Against Propaganda."

"I need not emphasize to this gathering how necessary it is to present this problem accurately for the world and for civilization itself," Mr. De Rochemont asserted. "We will have 20 minutes to tell our story, and in this time we hope to set forth the problem of the refugee, the problem that a cruel intolerance has created."

Mr. De Rochemont stated that March of Time cameramen had traveled far to get the material ; one man had spent nearly two months in Palestine ; other had been to refugee camps in Holland and Switzerland. Still other scenes were photographed in Poland.

Mr. De Rochemont emphasized that doubles are not used, because "in the democracies" the producers of the short obtained the cooperation of news figures.

The speech was broadcast.
