PICTURE POSTERS
SOME UNDESIRABLE TYPES. ■ (Per Press Association — Copyright.) WELLINGTON, September 29. ! Strong ' .criticism of undesirable. types o. picture posters was passed by Canon James, when addressing the Women's Social Progress League. He said that he knew there were salacious pictures and novels, and he knew there were films which although not actually salacious, showed the sacredness of sex and marriage smudged wth coarseness. Pictures and novels were one thing,' but posters were another.
“The State not -only allows these picture posters, but protects them,” Canon James added. “It must be a natural impulse for many people to tear down many of them, but if they did, it would be an offence against the law. It is an intolerable state of things. The time has come when we must put an end to this beastliness that shrieks from our hoardings.”
