O’Connor (chnirmnn of the Board), has again sept a letter to the film producers emphasising that lie would refuse to pass any films in which crime is dominant, or which are illustrating the methods of crime, even if the .subject is comically treated, or the criminals are brought to retribution. Eliminations have also been made in scores of films showing British uniformed officers in a disgraceful light, also incidents derogatory to the British police, equivocal situations between white and other races, suggestive dancing, the white slave traffic, orgies, deliberate preparations for suicides, torture scenes, martyrdoms, exploiting of victims, drunken women and inflammatory sub-titles.
