Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is preparing to declare another "war" _ against pornography, which some say is a major cause of rising sexual abuse of youngsters.

The initiative is expected to be declared on Children's Day in early January.

Police and provincial governors nationwide will start cracking down on pornographic materials, VCDs, and the Internet next month, said government spokesman Surapong Suebwongle.

Meanwhile, he said, the government would give financial support to "creative media" with contents promoting morality and good conduct, produced by universities and non-governmental organisations.
