At a meeting of the National Conference of Social Work in Boston last month, regulaâ€" tion of the motion picture industry in the U. S. through a national comâ€" mission, in order to assure the disâ€" play of films in no way disparaging other races, religions, or nations, and piving a true picture of social condiâ€" tions here, was urged.
