EXPORT FILMS

W. B. Maxwell, British novelist has come to
the United States to tell American producers what
British people have been thrilled by our far west
movies until they have thrills left and have wept
our sloppy sentimental stuff" until they have
no more tears. Also, and this is perhaps of i'm,
portance Americans, he says he considers many of
the films sent to England undesirable portrayas
of American life. From such pictures, he remarks,
people abroad get very bad impression of our
country.
A good many of the pictures shown here must
have that result if intelligent American opinion is
dependable. And it is possible that pictures sent
abroad which could not be produced here because they
would not pass the censors.
Can it be that a censorship will be needed here
after for export films, in order the country
from defamation abroad at the hands of careless
vena American producers? The film has to
possess tremendous publicity power, and what
nation thinks of another is mighty important in this
modern world

THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS

Everybody tries it sooner later, and nobody sue.
ceeds in doing it. That is, compiling list of 10
favorite books 10 most influential books or the 10
most useful books for given purpose. But great
is the number of books and varied is the reading
pubcs taste that the lists invariably turn out to be
inadequate, ridiculous longer than the number
allowed.
Not long ago the Survey made an attempt to find
but what the six most important books for social
workers-six books which every social worker should
have in his library. The result both laughable
and enlightening
In order to simplify the choosing of lists it was
permitted to volumes to fit special branch OF
social work Even that did not help There were lists
for social workers. for health workers. for childrens
workers and for industrial social workers. Of all the
replies sent in two had identical lists. In fact II
replies named 1876 books indicating that number OF
them took in more than the allotted six.
Apparently the specialized literature for the
social workers is nearly bulky in amount as any
other branch of reading. There is one danger how
ever. The social worker with many specialized
volumes to consider, may forget that all good litera
ture holds valuable material for him. Fiction, DRAMA
history and poetry, both current and of earlier per-
iods, are meat for the social worker well as for
preacher teacher other intelligent citizen.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

"Uncle Wiggily, would you like

he twinkled his pink nose expect

"Well, Uncle Wiggily,' went On
Nurse Jane with laugh, ''if you

"How would blackberries dog
asked Mr.. Longears.
"You always did like blackber-

hop along, pick me a basket full of
blackberries and I'll make them up

Uncle Wiggily hoped over the
fields and through the woods,
swinging on his paw the empty bas
ket and singing as he went:
"Play song of pennies,
A pocket full of pie.
Four and twenty white birds
Flew up to the sky.
When the oven heated,
The cook began to bake,
Isn't it a jolly thing
To eat a chocolate cake'''
Twinkling his pink nose in hap
py fashion, Uncle Wiggily hoped
on and on until at last he came to a
patch of woods, on the edge of
which grew some berry bushes. And
hanging from the bushes were many
big, juicy blackbcrries.
"Oh, these will make n lovely
pie!" thought Uncle Wiggily, as he
drew near. He was picking off the
blackberries and dropping them in

Special Gable Dispatch to The S. A. Light
Copyright. 1923.
Paris, Aug. IA survey today of
French newspapers of all shades of
opinion confirms the first impression
that the British note on a reparations
settlement is regarded here as a def
mite rupture of the entente with the
result that France hencaforth will
stand opposed not to isolated Ger
many. but TO Germany openly and
strongly supported by Great Britain.
The British note" says lie Matin,
is the equivalent of rupture with
France"
The Echo de Paris says: even
abandoned, even opposed by Great
Britain, let. us remain true TO our
policy, for Great Britain for n long
time cannot do anything effective
against it,"
The Journal says: "The only logi.
cal conclusions one may draw from
the German crisis and the British note
IS that France and Belgium should
itensify their action in the Ruhr."
The Liberte says: Let us turn our
backs on this sordid egotism of a
people who were our allies and whose
capital and commerce were covered by
the heroism of our soldiers. Let us
watch what is happening in Berlin
Let us be unmoved either by Brit
aims hateful diatribe or by the new
possibilities appearing in Germany"
