What they want of Will Hays is to take hold of the whole thing and regulate the niovie producers as well as handle the public relations of the industry. Mr. Hays would be expected to deal with legislatures and legislative com mittees everywhere and present the letter side of the moving picture business. But If it were a task ot prevention of censorship alone, Mr. Hays would not be interested. He is persuaded that the moving picture has educa tional opportunities which have hardly been touched thus far and that a greater chance for moral up lift lies on the screen than in any other medium of thought communica tion today.
