FILM OF DAM
OBJECTIONABLE SUB-TITLE. WELLINGTON, Oc. 28. An announcement was made by Mr MacMillan, Acting-Minister of Public Works, in the House, to-night, that he had taken steps to suppress the screening of a film purporting to show the bursting of a dam at Arapuni. Mr MacMillan said that 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 hydro-elec-tric installation at Arapuni.” He had taken steps to have that inscription withdrawn. Mr Holland: You are not blaming us for that. The Minister: It was started by somebody, but not from this side of the House. Mr Holland: Does the Minister not know who is responsible ? The Minister: I believe a certain engineer was responsible. It was being shown in Australia.
