Federal control and censorship of pictures is bound to come, and this in a very short time. Hollywood has offended about every class and group of people possible. Its salacious products have antagonized the Church and other moral groups. Its dishonest and oppressive commercial dealings have alienated, not only independent exhibitors and producers, but thousands of in vestors in motion picture securities who have lost their money.
