time behind him. Warren Harding Is
at last on the way to the serious re-
sponsibilities that await him in Wash

prospective responsibilities have
weighed more and more heavily upon
him.
Always heretofore there has been
an appreciabie space of time ahead of
tho Presfdent-elect, but when his
train pulled out OF ST. Augustine with
the setting sun of Sunday evening he
realized that his hour Of personal ac-
countability to the people of the
United States was about to strike.
No man ever has approached the
presidency with a keener desire to
give the people an administration
which will meet with their approval.
Mr.. Harding has little or none of the
pose to do what Warren Harding
would like done. He wants to sound
the wishes of the people and see in
what manner he can serve them best.
Greatest Desire to Please People.
With all due respect to Presidents s
who have gone before. il can be said
that none has come within the shadow
OF the White House with a more un-
selfish point of view than Mr.. Hard

declares the Office belongs to the peo-

URGES PROBATION
FOR MOVIE SHOWS
Censorship Hearing Opens
Before D. C. Commission
ers-Fight Promised.

A proposal to put the motion picture
theaters of the city on probation for
three months before considering the
creation Of a board of censorship was
public hearing at the District building
this afternoon on the question Of
movie regulation.
The proposal was submitted jointly
by Rev. Lucius c. Clark, representing
the Washington Federation of
and Charles A. Mcmahon of
the National Catholic Welfare Council.
The petition asks that during the
three months of probation the ex-
hibitors should be required to observe
the rules Of the Pennsylvania state
board of censorship. DR.. Clark and
Mr.. Mcmahon summed up their plan
as follows:
made during this time we declare our
selves favorable to the creation Of a
board of review with the whole cost
OF the same to be assessed to the
motion picture exhibitors"
B0ardrOOm Crowded.
The boardroom was crowded to its
doors when the ommissioners called
the hearing to order at o'clock. OPP
ponents of censorship as we'll as ad-
vocates Of it were present in consid-
erable numbers.
There were indications at the out
set that the hearing will be one of
the most spirited staged at the Dis
trict building for some time. This Is
forecast by the fact that during the
secretary of the board of Commits
sioners, has been swamped with let
ters ard petitions voicing approval
and disapproval of censorship.

learned today. will attend the hearing

is the Central Labor Union. 1t is ex-
tive present of the District depart
ment of the American Legion.

DR.. Clark opened the hearing on be-
half of the advocates of regulation OF
the movies and introduced the follow
ing speakers: Deets Pickett, re-
search secretary of the Methodist
board of public morals; William NICK
Clayton, representing the Federation
of Citizens Associations; Rev. Wilbur
F. Crafts, superintendent of the in
ternational reform bureau, and John
Temple Graves.
The Pennsylvania rules, which it is
proposed to have the local theaters
follow during three months of proba-
tion, would prevent the following:
Pictures or parts of pictures dealing
with white slavery" and views of
houses of ill-fame.
Pictures dealing with the seduction
of women.

JAPAN SUGGESTS GUAM
FOR u. S. CABLE STATION
BY the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC. February 26.-Japan will
insist upon its mandatory to the is
land of Yap, according to authorita-
tive japanese opinion. The protest
of the United States government to
the council of the league of nations
has aroused great interest in Japan,
as a new move on a matter which has
already been lengthily, but thus far
unsuccessfully. discussed directly by
the governments of Japan and the
United States.
1t is explained here that Japan
bases her mandatory on the final de-
cision of the supreme council in May,
1919, which handed over the German
islands north of the equator to Japan
without mention of reservation.
Japan will take the stand that the
mandatory means control of the ca
bles on the same status as Germany
prior to the war. 1t is understood
that Japan has suggested to the Unit
ed States to lay a cable direct to
Shanghai from Guam as a substitute
for the Yap route.
