This series of short films actually made it on to television. WNAC in Boston aired it in 1960.
The name "Searcy College" should be familiar to fans of John Sutherland Productions, as it made right-wing, hurrah-for-capitalism cartoons for the college funded by the Sloan Foundation. The "coolie" portion of "Meet King Joe" is seen here, over the same words used by the narrator in that short.
The introduction in this short was used in others of the series as a cash-saver, an irony considering how the film crows about jobs created by businesses spending money.
The script is the typical rah-rah America-created-everything-good story, being careful to tie religion in with capitalistic success. Failures are glossed over (RIP Crestmobile), but we are told Americans can buy a suit faster than some Commie.

More anti-commie brohaha courtesy of Clifton Ganus Jr. who has the ability of to clud our minds with his cute oversized props, his clever way of speaking, and of course, his hatred of everyone who is not an American. This film is fairly typical in the series of films that these guys produced, and remains a definite curio in the cold war paranoia films produced.
