The Home Secretary has decided temporarily to abandon the establishment of a central censorship for cinematograph films, though local authorities still possess the powers conferred on them by the Act of 1909. We have war on hand, all the energies of the Ministry and of the general public are required to deal with it. But after the war, when things have drifted back to normal, we hope that the question of film censorship will be taken up very seriously. Taking Hongkong as an example, instead of the censorship's being left to an already over-worked Government official, it should undoubtedly be in the hands of a considerable body of men who will represent all sections of the community. In this Colony, we have seen many pictures screened.
