concerning the impending strike of

and appeared perfectly content 10 let tho
matter rest, so far as the government WAS

ehort to avert general strike of miners

strike IL scheduled for April l. and it must

1t is very clearly the duty of the govern
ment to intervene No one can be blind To
the grave consequences OF a strike such as
is now imminent. Cooperation between
the miners and railway workers is IL threat
that emphasizes the omnous nature OF this
industrial cloud, but general wakout of
the miners alone would intlict n terrible

try could not afford to assume under any
conditions; it is one particularly to he

Perhaps the government would be justi-

Is widening, not closing. The government
should act. and act promptly and vigor-

The Autocracy of Censorship

OTlON-PlCTURE censorship exposed
lV1 its fatal weakness when the secrc-
tary OF the New Yorl, board Of censors un-
dertook To NEE; Thomas DiXons attack be-
fore committee Of that states Legislature.
The adrOitness with which Mr.. Dixon trapped
the spokesman for censorship IL distinctly
secondary; the point that should arrest the
attention OF every fTcedom-loving American
Is that the boards secretary confessed
proclaimed perhaps, would be a better word
"a policy OF rejecting any picture that pre-
scnts a political or historical view contrary
to his own. The ilimsy pretcnse that cen
sorship is for the protection of children's
morals-;hc ictonal theory that 1t wunld
serve this purpose If designed 10 do So
has never been more couclusvcly exposed
than it by this censor's admission
Without n moment of hesitation and with al
most ianatcal emphasis. he confirmed Mr..
DiXon's belief that a political historical pic
ture such as tho latter had i'll mind would
be barred from the thcaters Of New York
The point that Mr. Dixon sought to make
was that the New York board is composed
of faithful Republicans. appointed as II
reward for party service The secretary's
confession showed that the board inclined
TO sectional partisan policy in handling its
official duties. Except as an instance, il il
OF no special Importance that this Is Re-
publican board The principle is the vital
consideration; and the principle of censor
ship is that small body Of men shall be
given autocratic power over n great creative
industry. II is perfectly idle To attempt to
restrict the authority Of such 2 board, or
10 argue that any such board will remain
free of par'isanship. The very nature of the
duty that is imposed. 'hecessarily reduces
censorship TO a narrow expression of indi-
viduhl opinion. The pictures that are made
for the screens OF American theaters touch
remotely or directly, practically every as
pect of human affairs; censorship coufcrs
upon three. four or five persons the nmaz-'
ngly autocratic right to say how these mat
tiers shall be presented to the people Of an
American STATE Censorship is inscparabie
from narrowncss, bigotry and tyranny: a
people that will endure it does no, cherish
the gift of freedom.
