We have reason to hope that before the end of December the commission of experts appointed to exa?nine the social questions in which the cinema is interested, and more especially the best use of the screen as a means of promoting measures to prevent accidents in workshops and agricultural work, will meet. The Commission will study the question in the light of the program drawn up by the I.L. O. and the I. E. C. I., and will draw up a concrete plan of action aiming at encouraging the production of suitable films and indicating at the same time the proper lines to be followed in their actual production. Another branch of the common work of the two organizations of the League will be their joint examination of some of the replies received by the I. E. C. I. in answer to its questionnaire concerning the uses of the cinema for the purposes of scientific management. The International Institute of Scientific Management will, of course, be invited to collaborate in this part of the work. In the course of the interviews between M. Thomas and the Director of the I. E. C. I. it was likewise agreed that the enquiry started by the I.L. O. regarding the utilization of the cinema in welfare work {workers' leisure) shall be continued by the I. E. C. I., in close collaboration with the Geneva Office. It may be confidently affirmed that M. Thomas's visit to the I. E. C. L has done much to strengthen the collaboration of the two organizations which should lead to tangible, practical and rapid results. 703 —
