Censorship We have in the city of Buenos Aires a Censorship Committee of "ad-honorem" nature, formed by representatives of national and municipal entities. Always, have displayed excellent judgment. Last season the Argentine Catholic Bureau of Morals _ sent a circular to the film distributing companies and requested their cooperation in eliminating any passages to which the Bureau's previews objected. The Church through its own publications passes upon films. The foregoing applies to the films already produced. On future productions the Institute Cine matografico Argentine (Argentine Film Institute) decrees a sort of censorship.
