The late German Minister of Culture, Mr. Becker, who was in China three years ago on à Com mission of the League of Nations, and who himself was an experi. enced

IN RADIO TALK

This office is one of the oddest anomalies in British administra tion. The Censor is the head of a Board which has no official status, and is elected by a traditional body of men. the Incorporated Associa tion of Kinematograph Manufac turers, who meet possibly once a year, and exist as an entity for that main "purpose.

The Censor has no legal standing as an arbiter of entertainment. His decisions can be reversed by any one of the country's 750 local licensing Authorities But in practice he can dictate the entertainment of the antire picture-going public. His name will be shown about 60,000 times a lay on the screens of Bri- tain. And his decisions are tacitly recognized and respected, both by the trade and the Government authorities, either of whom could, logically, set them aside.
