SETTLING WITH GERMAN.

The announcement from Washing
ton that Americans will be protected
against Germans desiring TO settle
their debts in paper marks requires
qualification. There are many cases In
which such protection will be impos-
slble. There are others where the
legal machinery involved in collection
Is 30 cumbersome and slow-moying
that several generations will have pass
ed away before the claim is finally
adjusted. In Washington they are still
struggling with money claims growing
out OF the Revolutionary War.
On the face of things 1t IL obviously
unfair that Americans to whom Ger
man citizens owe money should be
asked to take payment in marks worth
one-ha1 OF one cent when the debt was
contracted in marks worth twenty
four cents. 1t seems doubly unfair
when the same American creditor Is
obliged to pay his obligations to Ger
mans in dollars which except for the
decline In purchasing power, are worth
as much as they We're before the war
But something is also to be said upon
the other side. Thou sands OF Ameri-
can claims against Germans arise out
OF small fegacies left by deceased Ger
mans to American relatives. Should
these estates most OF them small. be
/ compelled TO pay these legacies In
| gold marks II would leave thousands
Of German widows and orphans pen
niless. 1t would seem impossible for
any court to rule that because a
llegator remembered a distant Ameri-
can relative In his Will his immediate
family in Germany should suffer
/ On the gold mark basis German.
owe Americans s60.000.00 On the
same basis America owes Germans
100000 900. this being the value Of
the German property seized by the
American alien property custodian
On the face of 1t this would seem Il
guarantee the ultimate collection o.
every American claim on such termi
as we choose to prescribe Brooklyn

LET In FOREIGN FILMS.

The proposal to increase the tariff
on foreign films Is supported by the
Actors Equity Association. The
equity OF such an increase from the
viewpoint of the public is not ap-
parent. On the contrary. we think
in the pubic's interest that the tariff
should be lowered rather than raised.
The moving picture public Of Ameri-
ca has been paying high prices for
too much second rate stun. For
while the going has been good and
second and third rate actors and act
resses have been drawing salaries
absurdly out OF proportion to their
abilities. The result has been the es-
tablishnlent OF false standards and
finally tho buyers strike now closing
many theatre that might exist under
reasonable conditions.
What 10 needed 10 wholesome COM
petition from foreign films. That
would not injure legitimate American
enterprise. 1t would compel American
producers and actors 10 give better
value. to present better plays. and TO
raise the standard of acting. 1t would
reduce the inflated salaries Of medi-
ocrities and give the public access to
the best art OF the movie at fairer
prices.
Congress should consider the in
terests and just claims OF the theater-
going public In this matter rather
than yield to the organized pressure
of small class who are enjoying In
fiated pay and do not care to meet
the competition OF artists abroad. The
interest OF the public and the interest
of the movie as an institution should
control. and both call for the admis-
sion OF foreign flms at this time

expelled from the body.
with this idea In mind. he consult
