(2) The question of taxation, i. E. , that of the relation between artistic and commercial interests on the one hand and the public exchequer on the other. Complaints are made in cinema circles that the industry is in many cases extremely heavily taxed on the ground that it is very lucrative. This point was dealt with by the Paris Congress in the following resolution : 257 APPENDIX "The International Congress of Cinematograph Managers, in session in Paris on October 23rd, 24tli, 25th, and 26th,... protests against all entertainment taxes as unfair, and recommends that every country should initiate a campaign for their abolition, on the following grounds: "(a) The cinema has become an absolutely neces sary means of recreation and amusement for the people. In times of political or economic crisis it is their one moral safeguard. In times of peace it is an unequalled medium for the diffusion of scien tific knowledge and artistic taste. "(ft) Notwithstanding the statements of the pub lic authorities, the tax is borne by the cinema pro prietor and not by the public; it falls on the turn over and not on the profits.
