3) that similar initiatives be undertaken as far as possible with regard to those branches of science in which such initiativs are likely to prove most useful, by creating special scientific committees which should have as their only purpose the study of the application of the cinema to scientific research and to the development and improvement of scientific teaching ;
4) that the Hygiene Section of the League of Nations should collaborate through a suitable accord with the I. I. E. C. both with regard to the Encyclopedia and any other projects for assuring propaganda, by means of the film; of the principles of hygiene,
5) that film producers should take due account of the output of scientific films, keeping in close contact with the scientific world through its experts together with the cinema technicians; each in his own field should make the largest number possible of scientific pictures for use not only in the institutions interested but also for the mass of people who freguent the cinema ;
6) that cinema exhibitors throughout the world include in their programmes the projection of scientific films together with educational pictures and that the governments of the various states, by means of suitable legislation and fiscal relief, encourage the projection of such films as part of every show.
