JUAENILE DELINQUENCY 73 ness of seduction, the coiuloiiability ol" adulteiy, aiul the spontaneity of adolescent rehitions. Let me stress to you that tliese ads only rejjresent a })oi-tion, and I think a small portion, of the total adver- tising^ content. Yet it is the portion the sulx'onnnittee is concerned with. The rapid growth and acceptance of motion pictures and its in- fluence on American morality and ethics has added to the responsibili- ties of the industry. These responsibilities present a direct social challenge to the inchistry here in Hollywood. The industry has will- ingly answered this challenge. Both the movie industry and the ad- vertising people have, of their own free wnll, initiated a code to control their activities, which generally I think is a very good code. Today we shall hear how this code is working. We shall also hear about the positive contributions of the movie industry to the betterment of our way of life. I am sure that the executives here today will point with justifiable pride to the many fine pictures which have helped to fight delinquency, even as the bad pictures might have helped to create delinquency. In other words, I want to tell the members of the industry we are here not for the purpose of just trying to point out the bad. We want to recognize and appreciate the fact that the industry, generally, has been a fine influence for the good, great media for entertainment and education of oiu- people, not only in theUnited States but throughout the world. And it is our purpose to, in some little way, try to work with the industry for even the performance of a greater good, particularly in the field of juvenile delinquency and the impression that pictures make upon our young people.
