speculative eye today toward the
growing domestic markets Of British
films in the United States as result OF
action taken in the British House OF
Commons sounding potential death
knelfs to Hollywood's profits in Eng
land.
A mild furry was caused in the
front offices of the industry on word
the House of Commons had passed a
resolution to tax the earning value of
American films rather than the
present method Of taxation upon the
direct cost of the film itself.
Col. F. L. Heron, foreign manager
of the Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America, which repre-
sents the bulk of the industry, point
ed out that British-made films mere
developing highly lucrative market
in the United States.
eff such an action as reported in
the House of Commons should become
reality" he said, "it would amount to
a remittance tax on money remitted
to New York-something England has
never done before to my knowledge
However, do not regard it too seri-
ously."
