Alliance, in his campaign for bluer
observance of the Sabbath. the board
Of managers Of the organization an
nounced yesterday their platform and
declared their specific enemies the
motion picture, Sunday baseball and
other commercialized sporting and
amusement interests which seek "the
destruction of everything distinctly
Christian and American about the
Lords Day The motion picture in
terests, largely controlled by group
of Jews. unfaithful to their religious
traditions" are the central forces, the
managers say Of a "conscienceless
campaign" to remove every law pro-
tecting Sunday from the statute books
as a means of procuring legal sanction
for their business on the Sabbath.
The managers concluded their state
ment by affirming their confidence IN
paying a tribute "to the courage and
poise with which he has met the bitter
attacks of the enemies of the Sab
BATH
Asserting that the press wronefully
/ has made the alliance to appear as an
agency seeking to saddle revolving blue
laws on the people, the managers say
their object merely is TO combat the
/ activities OF this group of 'sordid, soul
! less Goddess worldlings,y who would es-
| Ia blish a "so-called Continental Sun
day--the Sunday Of work, dissipation
and commercialized sports" In this
activity the managers feel the alliance
should have the support of all who be-
| lieve "a Christian Sabbath can only be
| adequately protected and permanently
secured by proper legislation"

The enemy. boasting OF his strength, has
come into the open, but in order TO con-

Sunday he processes TO be acting in
self-defence and pretends that there is

II. The motion picture interests are at
the centre Of action. Their objective is.
"A. The wiping out of every vestige
of laws protecting Sunday from the
statute books of every State in the
United States
'B. The procuring OF legal sanction
for their Sunday business
How shall we account for such a
programme? 1t can be understood only
! by the personnel OF the moving picture
organizations. We do not say that there
are no men OF Christian principle and
character in the motion picture business.
I on the contrary. we know that there are
such and we earnestly hope for an in

! knowledge that at the present time the
motion picture enterprise is largely con-
trolled by a group OF Jews unfaithfui

"2. The commercis lized sporting and
amusement interests constitute the
right wing Of this worldly array. Base
ball is populsrly regarded as the great
American game But consider the rec

\ OF men 10 whom nothing is sacred and
who would not hesitate TO put forth pro-

/ from anything they could convert to
| their own sordid and selfish uses.
"S. Certain business interests make
UP the left wing Of this anti-Sabbatl tn
aggregation. These. fortunately. are not
/ so very numerous. With the thinking
leaders of great business IL has become
! a conviction that efficiency demands the
weekly rest day. But all men in bust
ness have not yet seen the light nor at

still who with hard insensibility would
