The Secretary of State to the Chargé in France (Armour)
Washington, May 28, 1929—6
p.m.
177. Hays informs the Department by telephone that MacLean has apparently told the Minister of Fine Arts that the motion picture industry would be satisfied with the continuance of last year’s status. Hays is much disturbed at this since he states that the industry has determined, if possible, to do away with the quota system. He thinks the Minister of Fine Arts is friendly and is afraid of the effect of MacLean’s alleged statement. Please report facts.
