Film To l%ow
Dutch East Indies'
“Spoils of Conquest,’’ latest March
of Time film showing on the screen
of the Casino theatre, presents an
exciting f^lm story of the Dutch East.
Indies, richest colonial empire in the
world, which is today left virtually,
unprotected against Japanese ag-j
gression now that Holland itself has
been taken over 6y Germany. |
In this timely issue, the March ofi
Time pictures the whole story of how
the people of the Netherlands In
dies are facing the gravest dangler
in the history of their empire, for
the first time diverting all of their
resources and industries to the pur
poseful task of self-defense and self-
preservation.
More than 20 thousand abundantly
fertile islands comprise the Dutch |
Blast Indies, which at one point are
only about 40 miles from the Philip
pines. The March of Time film |
shows How nearly 70 million natives'
of this island group—for the most
part gentle, peaceable and highly
cultured—are ruled by a handful of
Dutch whose tolerant and efficient!
administration has made the Indies
trade the chief source of Holland’s
w’ealth and power.
Because the Dutch East Indies are
the chief source of rubber and tin'
for America’s new National Defense^
program, this latest March of Time
holds special interest and importance'
