Surely the latest Chaplin film, entitled "The Great Dictator," is one of the finest pieces of anti-Nazi and pro-humanist propaganda ever produced. We heartily endorse the opinion expressed in the issue of The New Statesman and Nation, dated December 21, that two hundred copies should have been ordered by the Minister of Information so that everyone might have had a chance to see it during the Christmas holiday. No doubt it will become more extensively available soon, and everybody should try to see it. The famous speech at the end, delivered by Chaplin, the little Jewish barber disguised as Dictator Hynkel, embodies and epitomises all the best ideas which our own lecturers have been expressing for a long time. It is a noble utterance, entirely free from theological terminology and making an appeal to all that is generous in man, irrespective of religious creed. It is simplicity itself It calls for reason, tolerance and science to be harnessed to the cause of human welfare. The final scene depicts a prostrate Jewish girl who has heard the broadcast of the revolting Nazi speech preceding that of the disguised Dictator. Then as the voice of her lover - the little Jewish barber - comes over the air, proclaiming a really new order of human brotherhood, she rises and her features gradually change from expressions of despair to those of surprised wonderment and hope. So it might be with the world at large if only its leaders could speak as Chaplin spoke at the end of this extraordinarily heartening film.
