Determined to
Cut Out Waste
in Movie Industry

New York, Nov. An explanation
for the widespread curtailment or
motion picture activities was given
tonight by Will II. Hays. supreme ar
bitter Of the industry. who said in a
statement that the action of the pro-
ducers was taken to eliminate UNI
necessary expense in production and
distribution of films.
There will be no slowing up OF
motion pictures progress, declared
Mr.. Hays. who is president of the
Motion Picture Producers and Dis
tributors of America, Inc, nor viii!
there be any curtailment of the sup
ply of motion pictures for theatres
and the public.
There is now in progress a sharp
curtailment of unnecessary expense
in picture studies. in selling. in dis
tribution and in exploitation" he
said. "This purpose to eliminate
waste is one of the objects of our
association. 1t is the determination
of all the companies. 1t is simple
common sense. The application of
the details of the purposes by the
different companies is a matter for
their own good Judgment. Whatever
proper methods may be necessary
completely to cure the condition will
be used.
"All Of this action is in the direc-
ton known by us to be necessary for
sound future. 1t is prompted by
the same type of business judgment
that caused Henry Ford to take dras-
tic action. 1t is the same sound judg-
ment which translates itself into sue
cess by eliminating waste and I'M
necessary expense in any industry.
''The industry has taken more
severe accounting of itself than has
been realized. 1t has quietly but
squarely faced its own problems and
now has a firm grip on ITSELF"

The decline was attributed partly to

YEAR, A VICTIMoF PNEUMONIA
BLUENOSE SKIPPER
ADMITS WAS HASTY
IN FISHERMEN'S RACE

1dulAN, N. 3, NOV. "A tele-
gram from Captain Angus Walters,
skipper OF the Bluenpse, expressing
regret at his hasty faction in sailing
away and ignoring the arrangements
for deciding race with the Glou-
cester challenger Columbia, was re-
ceived today by H. r. Silver, chair
man OF the trustees of the interna-
tional fishermen's trophy. The
message. sent from Lunenburg, said:
"On reflection ] regret the effects
OF my action. l was under great
strain. am q fisherman not a
sportsman. l acted hurriedly and
did not realize that other people
were SO largely interested"
Chairman Silver, after consulting
with the trustees. issued the follow
ing statement:
AS, the International cimmittee
for the 1923 series mas disbanded,
captain Walters message had to be
considered by the trustees of the in
ternational trophy. After full con-
slderation and reviewing the mat
ter from every angle we have decid-
ed that, in view of the fact that af-
ter the BluenoSe sailed for home on
Friday, all details of the 1923 series
were finally disposed of by the in
ternational committee, it would not
be in the interest of future inter-
national fishermen's contests to re-
open the series this year."
When Captain Walters was COM
municated with tonight in refer
ence to the decision of the trustees,
he stated:
THAT decision IL perfectly ag-
reeable to me The Bluenose will
not race again this year under any
circumstances or inducements. 1t
is the intention to strip the vessel
and lay her up within the next few
days. That is final"
Before the international commit
tee disbanded on Friday, it was de-
cided that the international fisher
mems race would be continued next
year and that Canada would be rep
resented with a vessel at Gloucester.
