MOTION PICTURE
DIVISION CREATED
New Commerce Department Bu.
reau Designed to Aid U. S.
Products Abroad.
By the Associated Press


The Commerce Department an
nounced today creation of a motion
picture division designed to assist more
intenSively in selling United States
motion pictures, film. equipment and
photogra phic goods in foreign coun-
tries.
The new division will be headed
by Nathan D. Golden. motion picture
marketing specialist, who has been as
sociated with the film industry for Is
years.
Department officials said that be-
cause South and Central America are
the greatest markets for United States
pictures, it would be natural to in
tensify sales efforts in those countries
to meet German, French and other
competition.
approximately 40 per cent of the
total annual income of producers is
estimated to come from exhibition OF
films in foreign countries, chiefly Ar
eentina, Great Britain, Brazil, Pan
ANA, Mexico, France, British West In
dies. Australia Cuba and Spain.
Secretary Roper, citing that motion
picture equipment valued at S2l ,000,-
200 had been exported last year. said
the increasing popularity of United
States films in foreign countries had
prompted enlargement of the depart
ments activities in that field.
Department statistics fer 1886 show
Argentina was the largest importer of
United States motion picture film,
buying 1s,os5,OOO linear feet with a
declared value of s323oOo, approxi-
mately 100000 feet more than in
1885.
