A Plea for Censorship

An important feature of the recent
hearing on censorship of the movie
was the rebuttal of Robert p. Dore-
mus, chairman of the Community
Committee on Motion Pictures, Ken
nebunk. to the arguments against the
censorship. .
Mr.. Doremus said he, too, was a
"fan" and desired only that the films
should be decent, free from lustful
and crime producing influences. He
declared he had seen many an indie
cent film shown, and he mentioned
some of them, including Way Down
East" which Canada has barred
He said he had tried to have the
existing law enforced and had failed,
it being inadequate. To those who
object to censorship he would refer
the fact we already have it: censor

post office authorities can prevent the
sending of obscene matter through
tho mails. Practically every COM
munity has library board to pass on
the character of the books. Yet the
power for mischief OF the foul piece
of mail or the foul book is not equal
to that of the film. The latter is
growing worse rather than better.
