Washington, October 15-While high ad- ministration officials stated today that loans to belligerent countries by private individuals in the United States were in the same class as munitions of war and other kinds of contraband trade which the American government was neither legally able or obligated by international law to prohibit, it became known at the White House that administration policy toward foreign loans had undergone no change
 Dlscussion of the subject was revived m official quarters through the Issuance. eY Acting Secretary Lansing of the state department. yesterday, of a statement set tlng forth that no act of Congress nor obligation of international law made 1t incumbent on the government to pre- vent the shipment of munitions of war or any other commercial transactions of contraband character.

 Constitutional Changes
 Regarding new tax laws the governor recommended to the league, first, con stitutional changes. enabling the tax ing authority to put a uniform rate of taxation upon all real estate, a uniform rate upon all real property, and uni- form rate upon all intangible property He further recommended the abolition of the back tax commissioner and the appointment of a tax commission which would have the power to< name nine or ten salaried experts who would meet with the commission and make assess ments. He declared that the people of Alabama are willing to pay taxes if they have the assurance that they are treat ed fairly.

POWER OF THE MOVIES.

The power of the press We have all
felt and understood only too we'll
But we are just beginning to realize
the tremendous power for good or evil
that lies in the movies"
The capitalist class are taking ad-
vantage of the moving picture theatres
to inculcate and perpetuate capitals
class ideals and trading-class rule.
The working-class must likewise use
the movies to inculcate proletarian
ideals, to show up the many horrors
and unglinesses of wage-slavery, with
its attendant unemployment, economic
servitude, poverty, crime, prostitution
and disease. Let the workers demand
plays and movies" that show up the
selfish brutality of capitalist-class
rule, and long step toward industrial
freedom will have been taken.

100000 SEE MOVIES EVERY
DAY IN $4,000 THEATRES.

Tho Unreasonable power of the
movies" for holding public opinion
and creating prejudice pro or con can
be better appreciated when 1t is known
that not less than sixteen million per-
sons daily attend the $4,000 moving
picture theatres now in operation In
the United States. A large proper
ton of the patrons are children. There
are approximately 20,000,000 school
children in the United States, The
attendance of the picture shows there
fore represents four.fifths of the daily
enrolment of the public schools and
far exceeds that reported by churches,
libraries and other institutions of hui
man betterment.
These facts, or what are represented
to be facts, were brought out before
the ouse committee on education.
The committee has under considera-
ton bill to establish federal cen
sorship commission over moving pic
lures. The measure has strong sup
port and the chances are it will be
enacted into law at this session OF
congress.

MARK TWAIN ON REVOLT
TON.

1t was with revolution as his theme
that Mark Twain's soul drank deep
from the fount of inspiration. His i'm.
mortality will rest at last upon this
royal tribute to the French revolution:
"The ever memorable and blessed
revolution, which swept n thousand
years of villalny away In one swift
tidal wave of blood-one; settlement
of half n drop of blood for each hogs
head of II that had been pressed by
slow tortures out OF that people in
the weary stretch of ten centuries of
wrong and shame and misery the like
OF which was not to be mated but In
hell. There were two Reigns of Ter
ror II we would but remember 1t and
consider 1t: the one wrought murder
In hot passion, the other In heartless
cold blood: the one lasted mere months.
the other lasted thousand years; the
one inflicted death on ten thousand
persons, the other upon n hundred
millions; but our shudders are all for
the horrors of the minor terror, so to
speak; whereas, what Is the horror of
swift death by the axe compared with
lifelong death from hunger, cold, in
suit, cruelty and heartbreak? What
is swith death by lightning compared
with death by slow fire at the stake?
A city cemetery could contain the cof-
fins filled by that brief terror which
we have all been so diligently taught
to SILVER at and mourn over, but all
France could hardly contain the cot
fins filled by that older and real ter
ror which none of us has been taught
to see in its vastness or pity as 1t de-
serves"

WE SHOULD DO LIKEWISE

The labor educational center of the
Socialist party has established a spe-
cial branch to exten dthe use Of the
moving pictures as a means of edu-
eating the working class.
In Holland the Socialists have made
successful use of moving pictures. At
Berlin a central library of educational
films has been formed, which has pre-
pared more than 10000 feet of films
for use in the schools.
The Cinema Revue of Paris has
published list of the principal edu-
cational films which have appeared in
1928, and which includes the work
of fifty-nine firms
The news films contain much that
is of value The funeral of August
BebeI, the German Socialist leader,
has been shown to millions in the
moving picture houses. The Bohem-
ian Socialists have made use of the
moving pictures in their co-operatives
to expose the horrible scenes of the
Balkan war and have thereby been
able to conduct very effective anti
war campaign.
Some thirty Belgian co-operatives
give moving picture exhibitions.
These are now at the mercy of priv
ate film exchanges, which permit no
choice Of subjects.
To meet this situation the moving
picture section of the educational
center will purchase films and arrange
programs suitable for working class
organizations. Those programs will
be varied with comic, dramatic and
Socialist films interspersed
Exchange arrangements will be
made with educational film exchanges
that already exist in France and Ger
many, and the films will then be
rented to the various Belgian co-opera-
tives.

The bill to establish federal cen
sorship over moving pictures is more
dangerous than would be a bill estah-
fishing a censorship of the press. Of
ficials of the government could work
in darkness, and suppress all films
such as Sinclairs "The Jungle" now
doing such excellent educational work
for the proletarian class.
Naturally the consorship-or plot
has been Endorsed by many clergymen,
educators, and even by some moving
picture exhibitors,
Other exhibitors oppose it on the
ground that film makers censor their
product, and that federal censorship
would interfere with the business. An
other objection urged against the bill
is that its passage might serve as a
precedent for legislation abridging the
liberty of the press.
They also argue that if the federal
government undertakes to censor NOV
ing pictures it may extend the author
ity to printed matter.
Those who advocate federal censor.
ship of moving pictures do so on the
plea that these exhibitions are hurtful
or beneficial to the youthful mind &C
cording to their character. 1t is
claimed that many crimes have been
traced to children who had witnessed
narrowing scenes in moving picture
houses. For this reason ii is urged
that competent inspection and effect.
i've censorship of films are needed
The two sides of the story were told
to the house committee.
While it cannot be denied that some
pictures do harm, they nevertheless
do far less mischief than would in all
probability develop out of this first
step toward suppression of what office
holders might not happen to like.
