FIFTY YEAR BARTER

A Columbia pictures corporation production available only to schools. "This film refers to the Virgin Island in the Caribbean. The commentator refers to buying of territory, as contrasted with conquest. Apart from the interest in this picture as a travelogue, it is of value to show the development of America through the purchase of territories. While the script is well planned, the technical quality of the photography leaves something to be desired. 'Highly recommended for junior and senior high school classes in social studies and history.' Advisory committee"
