feeling that the public has an inter est in settlement Qf wage disputes and relations between workers and their employers on such a scale as this. such as has not before been gen erally recognized. It is now realized that settlement which grants un- fair demands on either side and is re- imbursed by a public price levied on every consumer is not a fair settle ment in an article of such common use and of such a character as to as sume almost the character of a monopoly.
 "Therefore, there is an unusual sig nificance in the direct issue, stripped of all other technicalities, as to whethed, in this great industry. the question of the relations between workers and employers is to be sub ject to the determination of an inn partial tribunal, in which the public interest will also be considered, as whether one side or the other shall impose it's will brutally upon the other, and the public pay the cost"

IN l87l GERMANY MADE FRANCE PAY, REMINDS PREMIER.
PoinCare Tells Germany Not To Look For Any Reduc-
 ton Of Indemnity

CuAsSEY BEAUPRE, France. Au- gust 26.-(By Associated Press)-- Premier Polncare in an address in Germany that she must make an heroic effort to pay reparanons just as France did in 1871. The address was delivered at the dedication of a monument to war dead. In 1t the premier told Germany not to look for any reduction in her reparations debt.
 What we did 5S years ago, said NJ. Poincare, they can try to do now. II they do not try to do It they will compel US to enforcs against them the menace they made then. Pay us or we remain"
 France, continued NJ Polnearc. had to pay 5,000, ,0O0, 900 francs, which was an enormous sum then, but the people offered 43,000, ,0O0.O .OOO. He told how the country had raised other billions to pay the expenses of the war sim- ply by getting to work. He added that the French payments could be proved, while as for the German chancellor, Stressemann assertion regarding Germany's payments, he declared, it Is vain 10 pretend that Germany already has paid 40 00G, ,000,- 900 of gold marks or even 25,O10, ,J0U 000 IS was said by an economic in- stitute of Washington, which has been impossible for me to identify and which is not listed In the con gressional directory or the official year hook of the federal capital.
 O O O
 Opinion WHI Not Change.
 These are arbitrary estimates. In any case they show us what strange results we would get if international experts ever were entrusted with the task of determining Germany's ca pacity to pay us. In this connection l do not need to say that our opinion will not change"
 The premier justified his concern for the future by recalling the past.
 Germany made no mystery of her intentions during the hostilities" he declared.
 Several times she unmasked her war aims, and up to the day she felt her hopes vanish she always planned to crush us forever.
 The other aliies." continued M. Poincaire. would not have fared bet ter than France.
 "On the other side If the Atlantic" he said, the United States momen- tarily perhaps would have been shielded from the consequences of d German victory; bat they could not long have remained indifferent to the creation of a colossal power which had become the real sovereign of Eu- rope and ready to throw its ten tacles around the globe for civiliza- ton would have been shaken and Germany would hare gained political, commercial and intellectual su. premacy from pole to poie ana be- come under the Hohonz3llerns em- peror of the human race"
 These" said the premier, "did not constitute dreams of strange, morose suppositions," for they several times threatened to become realities.
 Therefore" he declared, have we not the right today to remember our fears when we demand the execution of treaty whose moderation many of our eompatriots think excessive"

CENSOR HAS. A GOOD COME BACK.
 F0R HER CRITICS
Says Certain Maiden Ladies Insist On Reading A "KiCk"
 Into CIeaneSt Pictures
By RoDr,EY F. BUTCHER Oeased Wire to Age-HerRld.)

CHICAGO, August 26.-1t is con. sidered only fair every now and then to present the defense of some caste which seems to be getting more than it's share of the canards and cauli- flowers.
 The current impression appears to be that motion picture censors. who seem seldom to satisfy anyone at all. are too busy shipping out perfectly | innocent but somewhat interesting scenes from the miles of film they're called On to review, to bother about driticism or answer it.
 But Mrs. A. L. Adams, chairman of Chicago's board of movie censors, has taken a few minutes off to do just this, and she has a good come back.
 If the censors ever took a vaca- tion and allowed some Of the volun- teer censors who seek to guide their scissors to take over the job, the local movie going public's holler of protest would be plainly audible in Honolulu. take it from Mrs. Adams.
 Because in spite of all the censors can do, certain sections of the pub lie, led by maiden lady candidates for freudian study, insist on reading a "kick," or, as Mrs. Adams eX pressed it, undesirable features" into good, clean pictures.

This seems to be the chief idea of fun" held by man, Mrs. Adams as- sured a reporter She believes the overimaginative and blue" thinking spectators do more harm than would some of the snappiest things she snips.
 "A woman came to me recently, highly indignant over a recent pro- duction which she assured me was very immoral" the chairman of cen sCrs related. q remembered the pie. ture, thought there was nothing ob- jectionable about it and considered 1t a very clean picture.
 "Oh, mol" she exclaimed eXcitedly, 'it was not clean. It was a very ob- jectionable picture, even for grown ups to see.'
 T asked her what part was objec-
 "'Why, that scene where the girl stands there with a wrap around her. I just know she was dressed in- decently underneath. l don't see how you can allow such things
 q pointed out to her that the wrap was kept on and that the girl was very well wrapped up. Finally, she admitted that she couldn't tell for sure just what was worn between the skin and the wrap.
 o O O
 The Other Actors Could See.
 But she added triumphantly. The other actors and the director could see her without the wrap. l think it was very indecent"
 Now" asked Mrs Adams, How'd ytu like to have her for a censor?" Pictures are getting better, ac- cordipg to Mrs. Adams, who declared the work of her staff had been greatly frightened by the effort of producers to curtail objectionable features. Mrs. Adams predicts a great future for the industry, re- gardless of any attacks against it.
 "The person who reads things into movies will also read other meaning Into actions and statements of her next door neighbor," she concluded. She is as bad as the other extreme which demands that it be allowed to see all the risque material pro- duced."

In the early part of the year great building program was launched all over the country. It reached It's peak in April. More than 50 per cent of the building was residential. which was regarded as a sign of stability, and which it was hoped would be- gin to reduce the home shortage and bring down rents.
 Prices Begin TO Rise.
 However, prices of building ma terials began to rise along with the building activity. There was talk in some quarters of builders strike" There were also rumors Of imitation due to the rapidly mount ing tide of prosperity, and people began to recall the hectic building wave in 1920 which resulted so dis astrously when the depression came.
 As a result, building has decreased considerably, and the hope offered in this respect for relief from high rents has disappeared. Reports just gathered here by the federal reserve board from it's 12 districts show that rev building operations during July. as measured by the value of psr- mits granted and of contracts award ed, indicate more than the usual seasonal decline"
