BRITISH FILMS
SCREENING MAY BE ENFORCED IN NEW SOUTH WALES ATTACK on ~uX monopoly.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.-Copyright. SYDNEY, December 26. It is expected thpt the Government will earnestly attack the . American film monopoly early in the New Year for the purpose of stimulating the production of British pictures. It is more than likely that the Government will insist on the compulsory inclusion in all programmes of 10 per cent, of British films, with' the object of increasing the industry’s development.
It is also expected that the existing voluntary censorship will be replaced by a compulsory one, which will be an important difference, as the committee’s original scheme, providing for the compulsory screening of certain British films, was rejected by a majority. Exhibitors will now be asked to submit further proposals.
