LIQUOR Int. EsTs
HAVE FOE IN LASkI

In the resolutions unanimously
adopted at the twenty-third annual
conference OF the National Retail Li-
quor Dealers Association at Washing
ton, d. c., early this month, there q.
pears the following:
Another unfair and dishonest aus
vantage that Is being perpetrated upon
the liquor business Is that OF the NOV
ing picture industry. In the vast ma
jority of displays of moving picture
films portraying conditions surround-
ing the retail liquor trade have been
so preposterously untruthfully magni-
fled by those operators who are paid
vast sums by the opposition to our
business for the purpose Of Develop
ing to an unreasonable degree of I'M
tiuthfulness. displays OF scenes of ac-
tual occurrences In legitimate bar
rooms"
In view of the fact that one of the
most widely discussed photopiays
which bore on the evils of drink was
"Kindling." produced by the Jesse L.
Lasky Feature Play Company. on the
Paramount Program. Mr.. Samuel
Goldfish. executive head OK the I4aslSy
company, said yesterday he believed
Genial that any Interior motives
Frhmpted the production of this ric-
turc. sr ould be meie In justice to the
hIind, dds of eShit pr5 who are show
ing "Kindling' in their theaters.
In the Lasky production OF Kind.
ling" there was shown some of the
degrading effects of unrestricted IL
quor traffic in the slums. The Lasky
company took every precaution that
the scenes depleted. which now seem
singled out for attack, should not lose
their effectiveness by exaggeration
and untruthful representation. Even
before the play was shown to the
public. several sociologtsts viewed it
and enthusiastically endorsed all the
scenes OF tenement and street life.
Other producers besides Mr.. Gold
fish. have voiced similar opinions
since the widespread circulation and
distribution of the reports AMI resolu-
tons of the Washington conference.

American government of Nav 10
spoke expressly of 'unarmed mer-
chantmen.
Furthermore the formula agreed
upon by both governments contained
the proviso provided that they do not
offer resistance.
The presence OF armament on
board merchantmen creates the pre-
sumption that the vessel intends TO
offer resistance A submarine COM
mander cannot possibly warn any
any enemy liner If the liner has the
right to fire upon the submarine II
is obvious that such resistance to the
warning by submarine cannot be the
meaning OF armed for defensive pur-
poses even II 1t were universally rec
ognized that defensive armament Is
permitted by international law.
American Point Of View.
This point of view was adopted by
the American government when II re-
quested assurances from the italian
ambassador that the armed italian
vedi Verona. which entered the port
OF New York. would not Are on sub
marine when warned by them.
The imperial government issued its
new orders to the German command
not merely peaceful traders armed for
defense. British merchantmen have,
furthermore. on several occasions at
tucked German or Austro- Hungarian
submarines.
They do, therefore. not conform
with the assurances given by the Brit
ish government In the note of the
British ambassador OF August 20. 1914.
and can even, according to the legal
point of view adopted by the American
government not be regarded as trad
ers.
I'm issuing the new orders to It's
naval commanders. the imperial gov
eminent believed itself to be entirely
in accord with the American govern
ment. which expressed similar opin-
ions in the proposals which it sub
m.itted To the entente powers. The
orders issued to the German naval
commanders are so formulated that
the enemy liners may not be destroyed
on account of their armament unless
such armament is proved. 1t is. there
fore. bvious that the imperial gov
ernment does not intend to revoke the
pledges given September l and Oc-
toher rs. 1915.
The imperial government welcomes
the intention of the American gov
eminent to bring about q modus
vivendi between the belligerents with
regard to the disarmament of mer-
chantmen, but cannot see is way to
change or postpone the new orders
to its naval commanders, because the
imperial government cannot longer
permit its submarines to be subjected
TO illegal attacks by armed ansTy
merchantmen.
