Byior IL, Statement
Calls UniuersaPs
Charges Unfounded

In reply to Mr.. Cochrane, Mr.. Byior
said last night:
mot only are the charges made by
the Universal company without foun-
dation, but their whole course in this
matter has been marked by deceit and
the desire to force the representatives
of the Federal government into a posi-
ton that would make possible the
dramatic charges they made at the last
moment.
1.-THE Universal company was in
formed through the Dayton Wright
representative on Saturday afternoon
that they would not permit the pict-
ures to be shown. We have stated re-
peatedly and clearly that we had no
power to suppress any picture. We
simply took the ground that we would
not approve a picture that had been
taken in violation of the rule of the
adjutant general that private photog-
raphers could not take motion pictures
in plants doing war work without a
permit.

the airplanes of this country have been
failures because of mismanagement;
and, lastly, because Congress is now
considering an enormous appropriation
for the further manufacture of great
numbers Of airplanes and battle planes.
"Since no tangible technical reason
for suppressing this picture can be ad-
vanced by Mr.. Creel, we must look for
other reasons to explain his strange
activity. The predominance of Hearst
men on his committee suggests one
reason. The Hearst film company is
the only one in existence that enjoys
special privileges from the Creel COM
mittee. Only last week the Hearst film
company showed the American tanks in
action, while other companies-our own
included--were denied permission to
photograph the tanks or exhibit any
films of tanks. Many other instances
can be cited where the Hearst-Pathe
company secures exceptional favors.
"When our representatives discussed
this matter with Mr.. Creel he stated
presentation by the Universal COM
pany, and his whole attitude suggested
that he was opposed to the Universal
as an institution, and not necessarily
because of this particular picture,
which, however, gave him an opportu-
nifty to show his displeasure. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
P. A. Powers, the treasurer of the
Universal company, testified before the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House ten days ago, and, while called
primarily to discuss questions of taxa
ton, he was questioned at length by
activities of the Creel committee in the
matter of films, and his replies, while
perfectly honest, were of q character
which aroused Mr.. Creel's displeasure
II firmly believe that Mr.. Creel's
opposition to this picture is based
upon two reasons, both private and
personal with him; first, he is peeved
at the Universal Company for ignoring
him, and also because of Mr.. Powers's
testimony; second, he is SO COM
pletely under the Hearst control and
so surrounded with Hearst influences
that he will take advantage of his Of
fetal position to aid Hearst in every
way possible in the exploitation Of pict
ures in any way dealing with govern
ment propaganda. In other words, Mr..
Hearst practically controls the Creel
committee so far as films are con-
cerned.
"If Mr.. Hearst can secure control of
the screen in this way, he has created
for himself the biggest political
weapon ever welded by any one man in
the history of the United States. With
Hearst control of the screen through
the Committee Of Public Information.
Mr.. Hearst has more power than he
would have if he controlled all of the
newspapers in the United States. He
would have bigger daily audience, no

A Pastors Views
The Rev. DR.. Edgar Swan Wicrs
in the past Hearst papers had done
many good things.
But their great power" wrote the
Rev. DR.. Wicrs, "has always been used
unscrupulously to further tho per-
sonal ambitions and interests of their
owner. When he ran for Governor of
New York. Elihu Root, as the spokes-
man Of the Roosevelt Administration,
charged them with being responsible
Tor the assassination of President Nc
kinley. Their recent attempts to en-
broil this country in war with Mexico
to protect the great Hearst properties
attitude toward the present war makes
them national menace.
Ito suppress little German American
papers and allow them to work their
farreaching, malign influence is to
strain at gnat and swallow a camel.
We are IN q struggle for life itself.
The first task Of the nation is to do
its great part in saving the world and
defending itself from the super-crim-
mol VDho
Germany and Middle Europe and seek
at any cost to impose their barbaric
will on the modern world. To weaken
and work against the great unified ma
tlonal will at this time is not toler-
able difference of opinion, but it is a
stab in the back of fighter who is
hard beset Whoever is anti-British
to-day is anti-American.
"Nr. Hearst has always posed as a
surer r-patriot with much Haunting Of
flags and names. He should be held
to his claims. If municipal ordinances
mites from this serpentine influence
crushing public sentiment should be
created that ostracizes them from the
homes of all who believe in the win
ming of this war for humanity and
democracy. They should be made to
see how clearly the American mind de-
tects an enemy IN the rear and how it
resents a milk-and-water, spineless
half,hearted standing by America in
her hour of peril.

WORCESTER, Mass, June 23.-Senti

and his publications rapidly is crystal.
lizing in Worcester. The First Univer.
salist Church congregation listened in
tently to-day when the Rev. Benjamin
r. Wyland, of the Union Congrcga
tional Church, described for it the anti
British and anti-Japanese articles and
cartoons that have appeared in the
Hearst newspapers.
Disapproval was audibly expressed
when Mr.. Wyiand told of seventeen in
stances of praise or defence of Ger
many that have appeared in the Hearst
newspapers since the United States
entered the war.
After Mr.. Wyland had finished, mem
bers of the congregation crowded about
him, offering congratulations. His
church last Sunday pledged total absti-
nence from Hearst publications.
officers and members of the local reg
iment Of the Massachusetts State Guard
also have shown a disposition to record
themselves as opposed to Hearstsm.
"Thc Union Church Bulletin" is q
weekly publication of wide circulation
among the church people of Worcester.
To-days issue contained the following
paragraph:
COOLED IN THE FLAG
HEARS-S-S-S-T
The courageous action of this
church last Sunday in repudiating the
journalism of Mr.. Hearst has at last
awakened this community to the men
ace that intelligent people have felt
for long. France in barring his news
papers from that country said of him
officially in the Figaro October 20,
1915, that she joined her allies in alb
staining from all relations with the
Hearst organization, the conMvance
OF which with the enemy was certain.
1t will be recalled that Bolo Pacha,
executed for treason by France, gave
dinner at Sherry's, New York City,
about the middle of March, 1916, with
Mr.. Hearst as his guest. In The San
Francisco Examiner Mr.. Hearst JUS
SA'SN VIC SuDiildI me outrage IN the
following words: Particularly do we
deplore the sentiment that has been
fostered against the submarine. We
are making terrible mistake in this
sentimental objection to submarine
warfare Forget not that he ex
tenuated the sinking Of the Lusitania.
Previous to the assassination Of
President Mckinley, have been told
q doggerel appeared in one of Mr..
Hearst's newspapers about the bullet
which was to stretch Mckinley en-
his bier. 1t is time that we repudi
ate decisively such journalism.
"Since the United States entered
the war the Hearst papers have
printed seventy-four attacks on our
allies, seventeen instances of defence
and praise of Germany, sixty-three
pieces of anti-war propaganda, and
the deletion of the Presidents Me-
moria! Day proclamation. Of his
eleven papers the following are dis
tributed in this vicinity: THE Bos-
ton American The Boston Adyer-
tiser,' The New York American and
The New York Evening Journal.

A plentiful supply of corn and hogs
must be grown. Our State responded

an increased production Of food in
1917. The corn crop was increased
24S Geo acres, and the yield 11,939;0G3
bushels over that of 1916. IN this
increase the Club Boys played an i'm
porta' t part.
Corn is not the only great need.
and in the production Of which we
can engage. We are told that the
world is facing a shortage of hogs.
Besides the necessity of supplying
the needs of our own soldiers, We are
being called upon to furnish greater
quantities to the allies. The gravity
Of this situation should not be under

Each boy in South Carolina should
be asking. What can I do?' You
can join the Boys Corn and Pig

and thereby help to feed soldier
that soldier may be your brother.
