most fortunate that at this time the

Mr.. Cox said in part:
Almost full year has elapsed and
very properly can we apply an analysis
Of it's developments. The ruins Of
war still mar the international per-
spective. Willing industry is withou,
the aid of financial credits. Countries
solvent, if not rich in natural re-
source, are in idleness and misery.
That reaction, true TO prophecy, Is:
upon us and every community is at
fected.
Farm products have diminished IN
price much below the labor cost OF
productions; vast inventories CT shop
and mill have followed the downward
trend until thousands of farmers and
business concerns are hopelessly M
solvent. Only the resiliency of our
banking system has averted the most
destructive panic in all history. In
ventories have diminished in value.
but debts remain the same. There can
be but one final result to this situa-
ton.
And how needless it all has been.
When peace came Europe needed re-
building. America has a prosperity
upon which credit could have been
siven. The distress in Russia is
chargeable to the terrors of sovietism.
The distress in America to the treach-
cry of Lodgism.
THE first essential thing to our
prosperity is the formal recognition
by our government of the Fundamental!
cause of depression. Since this would
carry acceptance of the theories of
Woodrow Wilson, there lis hope only
for the belatcd relief that will come
from the pressure of public opinion.
Every economist and

Brooklyn Pastor
Sees Need Federal
Censorship Movies

Washington, Jan. 25-Censorship
or control by the federal government
over the motion picture industry was
urged upon Senate judiciary sub
committee today by Rev. William
Chase, pastor of Christ church,
Brooklyn, n. ", who brought into
the discussion the name of Postmas-
ter General Hays. The hearing was
on a resolution introduced by Sena-
tor Myers. Democrat Montana, pro-
posing an investigation of the motion
picture industry based on charges
that it has entered politics and has
passed within the control of Lasky
Fox, Zukor, Laemmle and Loew, and
that it's influence is to be exerted to
obtain theirepcal of censorship laws
already enacted and prevent enact
ment of further legislation to control
or supervise the pictures.
They have engaged the postmas-
ter general to be their manager"
DR.. Chase said and one of the duties
it is reported is to be assigned to him
will be to prevent the adoption of
this resolution of investigation
DIR. Chase termed it curious that
the man selected for this should have
been the former chairman of the Re-
publican national committee. Sena-
tor Myers, author of the resolution,
asserted that there was an attempt in
certain parts of the industry to use
it to promote immortality. He con-
tended that the federal government
had jurisdiction to regulate the in
dustry in the interest of the public
welfare.
Senators Shortridge, Republican,
California and Ashurst Democrat,
Arizona, members of the sub COM
mittee indicated grounds for object
ing to the proposed regulation, the
former stating he had used motion
pictures in his campaign and the lat
ter suggesting that Senator Myers
statements sounded like those made
in the star chamber of England ESQ
years ago.
The sub committee will hold fur
Their hearings before taking action on
the resolution.

tional prejudice behind and united in
supporting this project
Governor Baxter said:
The exercises that are held here
today mark the beginning of the 'ac-
tual construction upon the State pier,
and this occasion will be looked upon
as one of the milestones in the COM
mercial and industrial history of the
State of Maine.
THE people of this State have not
always appreciated the natural ad-
vantages which the State possesses,
but a change has taken place and
this project marks the beginning of
brighter things. This is State
wide undertaking in which every
city, town and village in the State is
interested, for each community
should benefit directly by the con-
struction and operation of this pier.
The products of our mills and of our
farms will naturally find their way
to the seacoast and will come to this
pier to be shipped to every section
of the country and to foreign lands.
On the other hand merchandise
| landed upon this pier and distrib-
| uted among the communities of the
! State wherever needed.
II believe this pier will do much to-
ward putting the State of Maine in
the position it deserves to hold in the
commercial and industrial life of the
Nation.
II look forward to the time and
think it is not far distant, when all
the great undevelope1 water powers
of the State will be put to work pro-
! ducing articles for human consump-
/ ton and to the time when these
products will be shipped to Portland
