(COntinued from Page One) permit our arms of defence to be wrested from our hands. We use them and must use them. We respect legitimate rights of neutral trade and commerce, but we can expect that this be appreciated and that our right way and our duty be rec ognized-to use all means against this policy of starvation which is a jeering insult not only to all laws of nations, but also to the plainest duties of hu- manity.'
 The chancellor amid profound silence and the deep attention of the House of nationalities in general
 ON POLISH QUESTION He said:
 ..Neither Germany nor Austro-G Germany intended to touch the Polish question, but the fate of battles brought them in con- tact with it. Now this problem stands before the world and. needs to be solved. Germany and Austria Hungary must and will solve it. History will not admit that after such earthquakes things will ever become what they were before.
 "After the war there must be new beginning
 "Formerly Poland had been left in the hands of a Russian police agent named Tshinovnik. Even members of the Russian Duma frankly admitted that Tshinovnik should not return to the place where Germans. Austrians and Poles have honestly labored in the interests of this unfortunate land. 7. MT Asquith also mentions the prin- ciple of nationality. If he puts him self in the position of this uncon- quered and unconquerable adversary, can he really suppose that Germany ever shall of her own free will de- liver into the hands of reactionary Rus sia the nations between the Baltic and the volhynian swamps who have been freed by her, and by her allies? No matter whether they are Poles or Lith- unians or Lavonian. or of the Baltic"
 The chancellor turned to the subject of eventual conditions of peace He pointed out that in his speech of Sep tember 9 he had declared readiness to enter into discussion of peace, but that then as now Germany's enemies de- c1ined.

 "A ture censorship will bring, the 4 A following is clipped from a Co., 1umbus, O., newspaper, regarding the cersoring of picture of Villas actions: State movie censors on Thursday barred closeup views of Villa shown in General Film com pany's news weekly"
 Villa is a bandit and a murderer. Showing of his picture in Ohio movie houses during the present crisis would tend to arouse bitter feeling" Chair man c. G. Williams of the movie board said.
 The above could go without com- ment. Nothing that could be written will add to it's magnificence. Noth- ing that anyone could say could make more apparent the all too apparent bone which solidly constitutes the whole head of censorship.
 It might have been the opinion of Censor Williams that showing of General Funston's picture during the present crisis might have flustered the emotions of the spectators. If such had been his opinion, Ohio picture houses could not have shown the gen. eral.
 Motion picture reviews are now visualization of news. If it is con trary to public policy to show the pictures of persons who are in the news, it is also contrary to public policy to print the news about them. Censorship of the movies in this re- spect is censorship of the press, against which every instinct of liberty in the American people rebels But why argue?
 Ohio may not look at Villa pictures because he is a bandit. Censorship has indeed crowned itself with asses ears
