PICTURE FILMS.
DEMAND FOR LEGISLATION. | By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Yesterday. As the outcome of the conference last night, a deputation waited on the Minister of Internal Affairs to-day urging the necessity of passing this session legislation to abolish objectionable films. The Hon. G. W. Russell, replying, said that the agitation wqs begun by the Catholic Federation and had already had an excellent result and liafl largely wiped out the efforts of a certain class of people to exploit the worst side of human nature. Provided Cabinet was prepared to grant time to consider the matter, steps -would be taken to bring a Bill before Parliament that picture films shown in this country might be put on a footing whereby, instead of being injurious to children, they would be for their benefit. Personally he hoped such a Bill would be dealt with this session.
