aMOvIEr CENSORSHIP,

There was a referendum vote in
at the recent election
as to whether or not the act Of the
Legislature passed some time ago pro-
viding for censorship Of motion pic
lures. should or should not be the law.
II was the first time the question of
censorship OF motion pictures had
been submitted to the vote OF the
people. Tho result Is, rather signifl-
cant as there were 545.919 votes
against censorship and 2o7.47e for CEN
sorship. a majority OF 33s.4a3 against.
This result is actually a significant
response to the appeal OF the press
and citizens Of that State that the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts stand
against this undue political aggres-
sion. 1t is also. of COURSE, just as
certainiy a definite and unmjstakable
challenge 10 the motion picture indus
try TO carry out its program for its
own continual improvement in the full
discharge OF its duty TO the public.
This responsibility is accepted by the
industry in the spirit OF highest SER
vice and il will in grateful earnest
ness fully discharge this duty.
No element in the situation was
more important than the part taken
by the press In Massachusetts,. The
press OF that State took the matter
up very earnestly and led the flgh,
against political censorship. 4 Citi.
zens' Committee Against Censorship
was formed. headed by General
Charles II. Cole. consisting Of about
three hundred Massachusetts, citizens
and some OF the strongest factors ir
tho State. including United State.
Senator David j. Walsh. came out
vigorously against censorship in pub,
lie statements.

per cent OF the papers were vigorousl,
