COMMENT DEPRECATED
“UNLIKELY TO SUCCEED” rrcss Associatio)i WELLINGTON, Today. Hasty comment on the alleged American film boycott is deprecated by a prominent theatre and film man, who points out that no official intimation of such a step has been made. He said that even if the boycott was put into operation, the attempt would be exceedingly doubtful of success, because (1) all the theatre owners in .New Zealand had ample film supplies under a firm contract for approximately eight months ahead, (2) the American agencies trading in New Zealand do not control all or even all the best films produced in America. “In this business of rapid change of methods,” he said, "it would be foolish to predict six months ahead. The real point for consideration is to find out what serious trouble lay at the bottom of such a statement. Even if it were only a rumour, it could, if persisted in, become a matter o'f Imperial concern.”
