The expert will have to answer for the exactitude of the subject, the teacher for the suitability of the film for school use and the technician will have to see that the film be produced in such way as to fill the requirements of both the expert and the teacher. 7. — Censorship. General Principles : The Congress wishes to underline the fact that the problem of film censure from the point of view of the protection of children and young people is a matter of serious concern for all governments. From the reports the representatives of all Nations have presented to the Congress, it is evident that this concern is increasing constantly. In this connection, most countries have thought it necessary to establish two kinds of censure for young people. It is to be desired that the I. I. E. C. should study the methods followed at present in the different countries with the view of formulating a standard type of rule likely to be generally adopted, taking into due consideration the views of each Government. Provisions for enforcing censorship regulations : The Congress points out the importance of associating qualified women to the work of the Commissions appointed for the control and censorship of films. The Congress is of opinion that in case there should be no provision for this particular censure, measures should be taken so that special halls be provided for children and young people and special suitable programmes organized which will not endanger the morals of youth.
