SCOTTISH FILMS
REJECTED BY COMMITTEE LONDON, Feb. 20r Mr. John Grierson, a distinguished producer of documentary films, an nounced to-day that the Scottish official films made for the New York World Fair had been rejected by the British committee, whose chairman, Mr. Philip Guedella, the author, said that Scottish achievements in social and economic reconstruction were not important enough to justify inclusion. Mr. Grierson comments: "The films, it seems, were not pretty enough. This is a national matter, and it must be fought out. The turned up noses of the soft and genteel south cannot cancel Scotland's achievements."
