“KNUCKLING UNDER TO GERMANY “
press Association- By Telegraph—Copyright
LONDON, February 23 (Received February 21. at 9 a ),
Tbo withdrawal of the film ‘Mare Nostrum,’ also in deference to German opinion, has added fresh fuel to the fir« over tho ‘ Dawn ’ controversy. Furthermore. it has recalled that a number of scenes in the film, ‘ Four Horsemen of tho Apocalypse’ were deleted when it was first shown in America, following representations of the Gorman Consul-General at Washington.
Tho ‘ Daily Mail ’ describes this as knuckling under to Germany, and pertinently asks why the Board of Censors just passed tho German film of tho World War through Gorman spectacles, featuring Big Bertha shelling Paris. 1 says that Sir Austen Chamberlain has placed tho Government in an untenable position over 1 Dawn.’ —Sydney ‘Sun’ Cable.
