PICTURE SHOW REGULATIONS CRITICISED. Per Press Association. WANGANUI, Last Night. Grave concern was expressed at a meeting of the executive of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at the recent issue of regulations by Order-in-Council under the Board of Trade Act, termed “Board of Trade (Cinematograph Films) Regulations, 1932." A letter is to be sent to the Prime Minister stating that the Association is keenly concerned over the regulations which empower the Minister of Industries and Commerce to regulate and control the exhibition of cinematograph films and prevent the opening or erection of any additional cinematograph theatre or theatres in a given locality. It adds: “In the absence of any public explanation of this entirely novel use by the Government of the extraordinary powers it holds under the Board of Trade Act our association wishes to place on record its emphatic protest against this act of Government interference with private enterprise.”
