ECONOMIC EXPERTS
 AGAINST SUBSIDY
Losses Should Be Written Off and Charged to War, Says Yale
 Professor.

! Characterizing the scheme as
 wasteful and claiming that, the losses ! should be written off and charged to
 the war, Prof. Fred C. Fairchild, head ot the economic department of Yale university, in an interview granted earlier in the week said:
 Subs1dlzing a merchant marine is a wasteful and uneconomic interfer- enee with the natural direction of business and investment. The losses which resulted from United States shipping during the war can be ac- cepted as part of the necessary costs ot the war, but the best thing that
 can be done now is to close up the
 whole business and write off the
 Iosses. Otherwise the taxpayers must
 bear burden which can no longer
 be Justified as war necessity. It
 makes no difference economically
 whether the operation losses frons government shipping go to subsidy or to private shipping"
 other Of the professors may be sum- marized as follows: No corporation engaged in shipping would buy ships in the United States when it can have them built more cheap1y in Germany. It would be financial sui eide tor corporation to let patriot ism run away with economic good sense. In subsidizing merchant marine, however, the government would be putting itself in exactly the same position with the entire burden of the increased expenses going onto the back of the taxpayers.
 Thus 1t is generally believed that with such opinion aligned against it the ship subsidy's chances for passing through congress are extremely slim. Despite the fact that President Hard ing's party still controls both houses 1t is doubtful if any action will be taken with the entire country can cas- fly see is unsound economically, said one critic.
 To many, it seemed that Harding's latest recommendation was incon- sistent with his former economic policy The President, so it is said, in spite of the strongest opposition, vetoed the bonus because he thought 1t would place the country in dire financial straights; yet now he has moulded his conscience so that he is recommending measure which would be equally as bad for the economic conditoin of the country, 1t is charged.

Japanese Barred
 From Citizenship

Washington, Nov 24-The United States supreme court has ruled that Japanese. are ineligible to citizenship.
 The court stated that "in all of the naturalization acts from I7oo to 1oo6 the privilege of naturalization was confined to white persons (with the addition in 1870 of those of African nativity and 5descent), although the exact wording of the various statutes was not always the same"
 Declaring that 1t is the duty of the court ito give effect to the intent of congress" the opinion pro1eeded to determine the intent "by giving the words their natural significance"

Watch Your Step
Sparkling Film of
Action and HumOr
Touch of Pathos Also i'm New
Motion Picture Comedy by
Julien JosephsOn.

CAPITOI--"Watch Your STEP" a Gold
wynn production written by julien JO-
sephson and directed by William Beau
dine.
Every once in while motion picture
comedy bobs up which is so joyous and
naturally gay that 1t makes photoplay
going less of duty and more of a
pleasure. OF such is Watch Your STEP.
which takes ordinary materials and
makes them seem even more wonderful
than they were back in the days when
scenario writer's were just discovering
them.
One trademark of excellence right
from the start Is the name of the author,
Julien Josephson. who used to write
many of Charles Rays stories back in
the days before Ray turned screen Mar
cissus and became enamored of his own
closeup. Need one add after this intro
duction that 1t is small town story
largely? Apparently one needn't. II
concerns the not unknown theme OF a
city youth who is thrown headforenost
into the country, Is suspected OF almost
every crime in the calendar because he
comes wearing trarlp's clothes, and later
for even the best movie must conform
to the basic principles Of the film drama
makes good in rush.
From such simple and homespun stuff
Josephson has woven a tale of sparkling
eossamer, yet one which keeps so close
to the ground that 1t never seems in
danger OF floating away like so much
ceiluloid thistledown. One disregards
entirely the fact that young Elmer SIo-
cum doesn't actually make good on his
own account, but because his father
turns up in the town where his son has
become clerk in the general store and
| reveals himself to be u millionaire,
which Immediately wins the villagers
forgiveness of his sons supposed sins.
In fact. one forgives the hero for win
ming the pretty girl so obviously in the
end. After all, what has young suitor.
even with a mustache and tuxedo,
against hero with curly hair?
Various unique and adroit incidents
rush the story along almost with the
speed with which young Slocun drives
his automobile. To begin with, SIocunl's
father warns him to watch his step, be-
cause he Is so inclined to step on the
gas. That brings Elmer into Jail. place
frowned upon by father for such ordi-
nary breaches of the law as speeding.
Properly enough, after promising to be-
have. Elmer simply has to race the mo-
torcycle cops in dash which makes
the beholder dizzy with speed.
Believing he has killed an officer in
the final mixup ending the pursuit, Ell
nscr fees in tramp garb by riding the
rods, getting Off at the same town as a
pretty gfrl--and there you are.
The means by which he Is led to dis
mount at the same village as the girl
and the way in which this is developed
into some very comic by-play form a
stimulating contrast to the customary
starry-eyed enchantment that so often
drags a man from beneath the weels of
train and right into the arms Of the
enchantress.
