NEW YORK, Aug. 8 — (AP)- Eric Johnston, president. of the Motion Picture Association of Am- erica, announced today directors of the Motion Picture Export As- sociation had voted to discontinue Immediately shipments of Ameri- can feature films and short sub- jects to England.

Johnson said the ban would continue indefinitely.

The action came after the Bri- tish Government had the imposition of an import tax on films which the organization esti- mates will absord: 75 per cent of the earnings of American films in Great Britain.

The vote came in the course of a closed three-hour session attend- ed by 50 executives of the motion picture Industry. At its conclusion Johnston issued the announcement and said:

‘This tax in effect strangles Am- erican film ahtpmenta to England.

“If the British do not. want Am- erican pictures, that's one thing. If they do, they shouldn't expect to get a dollar's worth of film for a quarter. And that's exactly what the tax will do.

"This tax was imposed at a time when the American industry, con- lcious of Britain's dollar crisis, had voluntarily suggested measures of a practical nature to help at once the drain on British exchange."
