Council Is soon TO add to its present
activities it's own bureau Of review.
which will furnish criticism and in
formation to Catholics concerning
the screen and the stage for the pur-
pose OF offeoting concerted Catholic
action against films that arc deemed
offensive To good morals. The bu-
reau will also collaborate with other
civic and religious agencies having
the same object.
In announcing the Councils pro-

cate or encourage blue" laws, or to
seek the prohibition OF moving pic

made the following statement:
"ln this campaign the National
Catholic Welfare Council is endeav-
oring to rid pictures and plays Of
uncleanness and immortality. We are
giving no aid or comfort to the advo-
Gates OF blue" laws, and we do not

amusement on Sunday. Our desire
and determination is TO eleminate
from the stage and the screen the
indecencies which have become no
torious on both Men conspicuous
in the moving picture industry have
admitted that many films are unclean
and some positively immoral.
"If these leaders Of the industry
sincerely desire to protect their
business from hurtful restrictions
and at the same time serve public
decency, we shall be glad to have
their cooperation. We consider
legal censorship only as a final re-
course. Whether we shall eventually
invoke # as a remedy depends on the
men who are now willing to turn
dirt into dividends.-

VIVIAN CONTINUES CONFERENCES WITH
 OFFICIALS 0F J. s.
Seeks Moral Support For France and Discusses Ter imitation of War With
 Germany
Ky AssocIated rress

Washington April f--Gonferences were continued today between Rene viviani. envoy extraordinary from of the Harding administration in an effort on his part to obtain the moral support of the United States for France in working out her problems of peace and reconstruction.
 Following his conference last night with prominent senators and officials. the former French premier conferred with Senator Lodge, chairman of the foreign relations committee. at his home today, as well as with other gov ernment representatives, and advanced particularly his discussions e the problems France is confronting in her relations with Germany.
 It was said authoritatively today that NJ viviani's visit is not for the purpose of discussing the financial af- fairs of this country and France On the other hand 1t was said, in addi- tion to taking up the question of moral support for France in its relations with Germany. it has in view as a corallary consideration of the possible termination by the United States of the war with Germany by a separate peace resolution. Questions of indus trial reconstruction are also said to be under discussion, involving possibly an invitation for the United States to send an agricultural mission to France.
 Although republican senators who have participated in the discussions said today they doubted whether M viviahi's visit would affect the inter- national policies of the United States, and those who favor separate peace with Germany let 1t be known that they would still press such action upon Congress, the former premier is under stood to have received assurances that the new administration does not in- tend to cease to hold Germany ac- countable for the obligations incurred by her to the allied and associated powers in the war.
 Whatever form the conclusion of peace between the United States and Germany may take. he is said to have been informed that it will be so framed as not to weaken in any way the morale of France or to give aid or comfort to Germany.
 M Viviani is also understood to have received the impression that the moral sanction of America will not be lack ing for any programme of the allies looking to the exaction from Germany of adequate and just separations.
