(Prom Our Parliamentary Special.)
WELLINGTON, This Day,
The announcement was made by the Acting-Minister of Public Works, Air C. E. Macmillan, in the House last night, that he had taken steps to sup-press-the screening of a film purporting to show the bursting of the dam at Arapuni.
Mr Macmillan said the film related to a dam in some other country, but it was accompanied by a! title reading “This is what is likely to occur at New Zealand’s hydra-electric installation at Arapuni.’’ Ho had taken steps to have that inscription withdrawn, Mr 11. E. Holland. “Yon are not blaming, us for that?”
The Minister: “It was started by somebody, but not from this side of the House.” Air Holland: “Does the Minister not know who was responsible?”
The Afinister: “I believe a certain engineer was responsible. It was being shown in Australia.”
