The opportunities that are being missed by Great Britain in the film business- were touched upon by Mr G. H. Scott, president of the- New Zealand branch of the British Manufacturers’ and Agents’ Association at the luncheon of the Prime- Minister (states the, Evening Post). The film, he said, was one of the best educative channels, but- it was educating along improper lines to-day, and it® opportunities were being missed -so far as England was concerned. ‘‘Our films,” he said, “have a national British tone -about them, but our children are growing up with ideas in their heads that are created by American picture films. Wei can’t tolerate a position like that. It must not be allowed. Our boys and girls must be educated with views that are primarily British, whether it is done through the film or through other channels.”
