UNITED STATES MUST INVESTIGATE

K OK the time being public interest Is conferred
= on the next move the administration will
make in Its consideration OF the German repara-
ton problem. While! plans are evidently being
formulated, and the directing heads at Washing
ton are earnestly at work upon some wise and
acceptable program, Just what its outline will be
is not yet made public. :.
There Is one thing that the people will desire
though, and that is a thorough investigation Of
actual conditions In Germany by the United States
itself. France and England have both gone over
the grounds again and again and have never been
able to agree. So wide apart are these, countries
in their ideas concerning the situation that a
hopeless impasse has been brought about
The United States cannot afford to take the
opinion Of either side regarding Germanys ability
or intention to pay, and still less can any declara-
ton of the German leaders be accepted. Ger
many has been q consistent wilmer and complainer
since the armstice. So far as getting together as
a nation and making real fight to settle in some
way plans for paying the war indemnities that
she could not hope to escape, sho decided the
claims were impossible and quit. Recalling the
strife between internal factions seeking control,
and the problems of government that have faced
those who were endeayoring to hold Germany
together, isnot altogether surprising that every
thing has receded to point Of collapse.
When the United States makes its own survey,
which Y can do from an absolutely unbiased view
point. then the public viii know that the findings
will be as nearly correct as they can be drawn,
and that the next step will be in the right dlrec-
tton and one of sound Judgment. 1t is evident
that Germany is the stone that is threatening the
whole wall Of European economies. II Germany
is not strengthened AID set upon her way to the
point where she can pay France, the situation is
going to be miserable one, and ahe United States
RYttI Pt,,,4 IA,
The money that this country expects to advance
Germany is not gift to the German nation. 1t
is not charity to the German people, There is
no expression in such loan, of sympathy for a
country that pulled the whole world into an abyss
OF suffering and sorrow The affair is one OF self
preservation and world preservation 1t is not
one of sentiment.

New York does not take rs closed Sunday with
good sgraee at anytime and when New Years Eve
fell upon Sunday and alI prospect for 6 gala oc-
scasion grew dim. some means to circumyent the
iunkind hand o. fate was sought which finally!
evolved an Actors BenetitD day.
Charity entertainments are not barred IN New
York Hence shows staged for the benefit OF.
INDECENT actors could be given and, according to
theatrical managers viii be given Sunday after
noon and night. Figuring twenty five per cent
as the customary profit above all expense OF pro
ductlon, the managers Of the theaters have agreed
to give that amount to the actors fund.
Church organizations have gathered their
forces to fight against this Sabbath dissertation.
It Is doubtful II they will succeed in their attempts
since the theatrical managers have the city gov.
ernments permission to proceed but the country
at large will sympathize with the forces who are
trying to stem the tide Of irreligion In New York
II New York were American in population and
sentiment there would be no question Of turning
a Sabbath day over to commercialized amusement
even though II preceded New Years Day. The
difficulty is that this largest city Of the United
States is not American in thought, word, or deed
1t does not truly interpret American standards or
opinions. regards itself "a law unto itself in the
things where constitutional law conflicts with con-
tinental desires. New York is so largely composed
ottforeigners and those who are but one generation
removed from foreign BIRTH that real American
feeling is but trickle in vast stream OF imported
lax custom and ideals.

Il j q Ia il d
NNJ1LLH II, HAYS; director Of the moving picture
w industry, has made a fine start in his work.
He has had the confidence OF that vast mass Of
people who We're growing mighty FESTIVE under
the iaSness and yiciousness of much movie pro.
duction, and who were becoming thoroughly
aroused and disguised over the private lives of
featured artists. VIII Hays, the public felt,
would straighten things out and get the picture
producers 20 see the writing on the wall before a
tremendous industr wrote Itself into shackles Of
iron clad Censorship.
Because Of the public faith in the good judg-
ment Of Hays. it comes as tremendous shock to
see heralded in the news items an announcement
of the return Of Fatty Arbuckle to the screen.
There is not q chance that the public will ever
again accept ATbuckle or that cities and towns
viii permit any of his pictures to exhibit, but the
real jar comes from the fact that Hays would
extend to the Lasky corporation permission to
even try again to launch this character.
There els nothing in the soft appeal about giving
AFbuektes his chance He does not need to inflict
his notorious person upon the moving picture pub
He in order 10 make living. little hard toll
at some real labor Is the kind OF chance that
Arbuekle really needs. A job of this kind is
hardly likely to pay severalS hundred thousand
dollars year, but II will be of more moral worth
~ this actor than all the wealth which contributed
70 ms downfall.
II the moving picture industry wants rigid
sunerytslon OF its productions, such supervision as
would cut out nearly all chance for originality
and strength 1t should proceed upon Just such
