British Films | I | (Washington Post) H The heads of the British motion picture industry rare not at all inclined to join the agitation in favor of repealing the 75 per cent tax on the earnings of foreign film companies. On the contrary, they show a sympathetic understanding of the purpose of the government in imposing a confiscatory tax, which, of course, is equivalent to a ban on imports.
