Telegram from the Governor of Hong kong to the Secretary of State
for the Colonies.
Dated 26th. July, 1939. Received 7.45 a.m. 26th. July.
No.211.
Grateful for information as to whether the American
film entitled Confessions of a Nazi Spy" has been passed for
exhibition in Great Britain and if so whether for universal
exhibition or adults only.
On the invitation of the Censor Members of the
German Consulate General were present when the film was reviewed
end in his report Consul General has asked that it be prohibitod
as being" anți German propogando of repulsive mondacious type".
Censor reports the film not anti German but adversely critical of
the Gostopo and that it could only be prohibited on political
groundo.
Ideally I consider that all filmo likely to create
international ill-ill ere undesirable but in view of the anti
British campaign in Germany, ospecially in respoçt of incidents at
Tientsin, I incline towards permission to exhibit.
Grateful for
expression of your views.
In this connection see your tolegram
No. 239 of 1933.
