The Ministry of Labour, Hygiene, and Social Welfare and Providence, grants considerable subsidies to film propaganda and education, by the credits it devotes to the campaign against tuberculosis, venereal disease, and cancer. The General Propaganda Commission of the National Social Hygiene Office has been able to establish a program of educational work by moving pictures, in concert with the Prophylactic Service in connection with Venereal Disease, the Directions of Public Welfare and Hygiene, the National Committee for Protection against Tuberculosis, the French National League against the Venereal Peril, the National Committee on Infant Welfare, the National Temperance League, the FrancoAngloAmerican League against Cancer, the League of Red Cross Societies, etc. A central Film Archive has been set up by the Rockfeller Mission (American Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis and the National Committee for Protection against Tuberculosis) which started with a very modest collection of propaganda films, 50 in all, with 300 copies and a total length of about 200,000 metres. At the present time the National Social Hygiene Office classifies its collection under 5 heads : 1st. General hygiene .... 19 Films (6,350 m.) 2nd. The health of mother and Child 11 » (6,200 » ) 3rd. Social Scourges: Drink. 8 » (4,480 » ) Venereal Danger 10 » (5,520 » ) Slums 1 » (1,400 » ) Tuberculosis 27 » (13,200 » ) 4th. Diverse 27 » 5th. Physical Education .' . 14 » This gives a total of 120 different films, 300 copies in all. The total length sums up to 170,000 metres. During 1924, the National Office lent 357 films, and 925 during 1927. The experience of over ten years has proved the striking services which cinema propaganda can render to social hygiene. 628
