LETTERS
The Universal View

To the PhOtoplnD Editor:
Certain advocates Of proposed laws for
the censoring Of moving pictures are mis-.
representing this company's attitude and
my personal attitude on the question of
suggestive pictures. BY using only Ger.
tain extracts from some of my utterances
they are compile tely twisting my meaning,
seeking to make IL appear that this COM
pany intends to make smutty pictures IL
the people demand such subjects.
They have quoted the following SEN
tence from an article of which l was
the author: "If the demand for them
(meanlng suggestive pIctures) Is so over
whelmingly great we will bow to the
superior wisdom of the majority"
Taken by itself this sentence seems to
damn me utterly. But 1t should not be
separated from the rest of my article,
for in 1t 1 stated unequlvocally that under
no consideration would the Universal Com
pany make smutty pictures. l even used
the phrase that before the Universal
reaches the point where 1t depends on such
pictures for it's profits l would strike the
street commissioner for a job cleaning
the streets"
The fact that this company has pro.
duced from 90 to 30 new photoplays every
week and has not yet INDUCED I'm the
practice of making smutty ones ought TO
be proof enough of our determination TO
keep the screen clean.
But the censorship advocates ignore all
this. They gleefully extract one little
sentence from a whole article and circu-
late 1t far and wide for the purpose of
having new laws enacted to muZZle the
screen. If they have their way they will
ruin the amusement of the millions of
Americans who patrOnize moving pictures
every day in the week.
Moving picture producers are not bad
men. trying to ruin the morals of the
people. On the contrary they are just
human men with the same sort of red
blood in their veins as all other men have.
They want only one censor-and that one
the people. They don't want n handful
of professional reformers to decide what
pictures the people can or cannot see

OF BRAZIL FADING
 AWAY

BUENOS, AIRES, May 13. - The complete dissolution of the nascient Argentine mercantile marine appears to be fast approaching as a result, primarily. of the European war.
 Before the conflict in Europe be- gan there were a number of indica- tions that attempts to create and maintain a national mercantile ma rine representing the Argentine re- public might be successful, notwith- standing that the efforts were handi- capped by number of factors. On erOus and vexatious laws and regula- tions are in force, among them a law that requires that every captain or commander of an Argentine vessels must be an Argentine. One-third of the crew must be Argentine.
 Notwithstanding that the Spanish race has always been notable for the number and merits of it's navigators, the Argentine descendants of that race show no marked liking for the sailors life. As a result, there are on record many cases of owners of vessels searching for weeks for pro perly qualified officers and men for an Argentine ship. In a way the law was circumvented by naturalizing Spaniards, Greeks and Italians, but even this expedient was not always successful.
 Many European nations are now paying so high for tonnage that the Argentine owners of vessels. glad to escape the vexatious handicaps. are selling out to the European buyers, or to Uruguayan and Chilean compan- ies. which have less trouble to con tend with. In addition to this lure of gold, the lack of coal has been a factor in the disintegration of the Ar genuine merchant marine.

FRENCH AVIATION OFFICER
 LOOPS THE LOOP TO ESCAPE

PARIS, May 11.- No stranger tale of escape from captivity has perhaps ever been told in the annals of any war than that narrated by Major de ", a French aviator who was re- gently captured behind the German lines when a dense fog caused him to lose his bearings. Captured by the enemy, this dispirited Frenchman was tied to his seat in his own aero plane and ordered by German avia- tor officer, who climbed in behind him, to fly over the French lines and not to descend or to signal to his fel- lows under penalty of instant death from a bullet from the Germans re- volver.
 By the simple process of looping the loop Major de V ridded him self of his unwelcome passenger-cap tive, who had not taken the precau- tion to secure himself to his seat. This manoeuvre, accomplished after sudden swift flight to a higher al
