Mr. A. E. Newbould, chairman of the Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association, giving evidence before the Cinema Commission said, recognising that of all the charges brought against the industry the most damaging was the charge that the cinema was largely responsible for the increase in juvenile crime, the trade had made an effort to ascertain the actual truth. The results had been embodied in a pamphlet just published by the Cinematograph Trade Council. He denied that the trade refused to go on with the negotiations with the Home Office in regard to the censorship. The Home Office proposed a voluntary censorship under its control for which the trade will pay £6,000 a year.
