“VILE INSINUATION.”
AGAINST! FILM CENSORS.
INDIGNANT PROTEST, t
SYDNEY, Nov. 28. Before the Film Commissioner, Mr George Black, Legislative Councillor, and former film censor, took strong exception to a statement made by Professor Wallace, that the palms of the censors had been greased. He characterised the statement as a vile insinuation, such as would be expected from a vulgar gossip hanging over a backyard fence. The statement had reflected seriously on the chaarcters of two honest, upright men, and it was surprising coming from a university professor. Mr Black said that he could declare postively that not only were the censors not bribed, but also that they had never been approached.—Press Association.
