Investigator: “Aside from those pictures you made during the war, have you made any other pictures, or do you permit pictures to be made at your studio containing propaganda?”
Disney: “No; we never have. During the war, we thought it was a different thing. It was the first time we ever allowed anything like that to go in the films. We watch so that nothing gets into the films that would be harmful in any way to any group or any country. We have large audiences of children and different groups, and we try to keep them as free from anything that would offend anybody as possible. We work hard to see that nothing of that sort creeps in.”
Investigator: “Do you have any people in your studio at the present time that you believe are Communist or Fascist, employed there?”
Disney: “No, at the present time I feel that everybody in my studio is 100 percent American.”
Investigator: “Have you had at any time, in your opinion, in the past, have you at any time in the past had any Communists employed at your studio?”
Disney: “Yes, in the past I had some people that I definitely feel were Communists.”
Investigator: “As a matter of fact, Mr Disney, you experienced a strike at your studio, did you not?”
Disney: “Yes.”
Investigator: “And is it your opinion that that strike was instituted by members of the Communist Party to serve their purposes?”
Disney: “Well, it proved itself so with time, and I definitely feel it was a Communist group trying to take over my artists and they did take them over.”
Investigator: “Do you say they did take them over?”
Disney: “They did take them over”…
Investigator: “In other words, Mr Disney, Communists out there smeared you because you wouldn’t knuckle under?”
Disney: “I wouldn’t go along with their way of operating. I insisted on it going through the National Labor Relations Board. And he told me outright that he used them as it suited his purposes”…
