STATEMENT BY EXHIBITORS. (By Telegraph—Press Associs Hon). WELLINGTON, This Day. On the subject- of the Government Cinematograph Films Bill, Mr J. R6b<ertson, secretary of Ihe New Zealand Exhibitors’ Association, said that while* they did not welcome the Government’s interference with business they “had recognised that the aim of the Government was legitimate and reasonable and from a national viewpoint desirable. “The Prime Minister has recognised that the exhibitors are meeting him fairly and he readily accepted the offer by the Association to the.-ef-fect that if the Government would suspend the operations of the compulsory quota clause the exhibitors would voluntarily screen the quota of the Bill. It is understood that failure to do so -will bring the compulsory clauses into operation. ’ ’ Mr Robertson was sure the British film industry could supply good quality pictures to meet the demand.
