22 The Kinematograph Year Book. Regarding the production of Australian feature films, this has been practically discontinued, only one having been made during the year. During recent months a " March of Time " series has been made in Australia and exported to the United States. In addition, three major United States film companies, by arrangement with the United States Government, have sent cameramen to Australia for the purpose of filming material for newsreels for release to the United States public after Army censorship in America. These activities have provided good propaganda for the Commonwealth besides promoting a better and closer understanding between the two countries. For instance, the Censorship Board has devoted considerable time to collaboration with that section of the United States Army Administration responsible for recreational and other films for members of the United States Forces serving in Australia.
