MUCH ANTI-AMERICAN RELIGIOUS
PROPAGANDA SPREAD BY MOVIES

bureau OF Publication and Education
WASHINGTON, d. c., March "a
Have you ever sat in the movies and
thought anything about the amount
OF propaganda that is going on there
on the screen?
How many Protestant ministers
have you seen taking the roles of the
clergy? Has it ever occurred to you
that you nearly always find Roman
Catholic prist on the job?
And then the less noted characters
for instance the comon people. in the
attitude of prayer Have you noted
with satisfaction of the many who
cross themselves and bow to the
shrineS and in some instances
images? Has it ever struck you as
peculiar that always it is the foreign
church, the foreign idea of religion
the priests, nuns, and their work that
is being displayed on the screen be-
fore the public?
The 100 per cent Americans are
sick of this sort of propaganda and
they are hungering for pictures that
picture Americans and American
sentiment on the screen in prefer
ence to the foreign ideas that seem
to be constantly exploited.
Don't think for a moment that this
is just happen so far it is a will
full, deliberate, cunning piece of pro-
paganda that is going on daily. This
stuff is being fed nightly to your
children and our children as we'll as
to adults. Why? 1t makes an inn
preston on youngsters of the i'm
questionable age and adults swallow

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 49,
To all people who believe in the
supremacy of the white race in this
country it is most nauseating and
disgusting to say nothing of revolving
to read about the proposed drama
which Eugene O'Neill is trying to
stage, wherein a young white woman,
whose name is being withheld, has
agreed to play opposite negro lead
ing man in an inter-racial play, "All
Gods Chillun Got Wings"
This thing ought to be suppressed
before it ever starts in this country
for there is no telling to what it will
lead. This woman who does not want
to reveal her name is said to have
accepted the part after it had been
fatty refused by leading actresses
and many near stars.
Kisses Negroes Hand
Just think of it, the white>woman
the play, to kiss the hand of the
HcSTO WEOSe wife she ndS bctOiiiS'
Can you imagine anything more re-
pulsive than that? There is enough
racial trouble in America without
manufacturing more of it through
the drama which is calculated to stir
the negroes of the country to vio-
ence towards the white race.
O'NeilPs determination to go
through with the staging of his play
and make it is realistic as possible
with a white woman and a negro
man in the leading parts, has started
much talk in theatrical circles, and
Is bringing down on him the wrath
Of all who love America and think
the white race should be supreme in
this country. 1t is terribly revolt
ing to all such good people and they
are calling for help to suppress the
same.
VIII Cause Trouble
The plot of the play deals with in
termarriage among negroes and white
people and it's scenes are laid in the
negro district of Manhattan. 1t is
the very thing which true Klansmen
oppose and is bound to bring on

immigration is on its way towards
consideration on the floor of the
house of representatives and is sched-
uled to come up next week, accord
ing to Chairman Johnson Of the house
immigration committee. He doesn't
believe that anything else will be run
in ahead of immigration after this
week.
The house is considering the bonus
bill and the navy appropriation bill
this week and immigration is on the
calendar to follow the first thing
next week. Chairman Johnson has
his coat and hat off and his sleeves
rolled up ready for a fight that he
anticipates will be staged when the
immigration bill comes up for discus
sion and debate.

REPUBLICANS WILL
 IGNORE LAFOLLET7E
Adams Statement Indicates His
 Threat Is Unheeded
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
 i Cleveland. O.. May 3l.--That the re-
 publican national convention, conven- ! ing June 10 will take no heed of the demands of Senator Robert M. Lal'ol- 1 ictte, Wisconsin, that certain progress sive blanks suggested by him be in-
 corporatcd in the platform, was indi- cated by John T. Adams, chairman of l the national republican committee in written statement today. The state mcnt follows:
 The Cleveland convention will be
 one of the best in the history of the ] republican organization. The party is i harmonious It wants President ! Coolidge as its standard bearer for 1 the forthcoming campaign. and there
 are several excellent possibilities for i the vice. presidency, any one of whom
 would be acceptable to the party and the country
 | "The platform, Of course, has been
 given preliminary consideration. It
 will contain concise statement of re- publican achievements during the ad- ministrations of Harding and Cool i idge. a frank statement of the prac- ! tical problems of the nation. and q strong republican program for meet
 ing them. The pledges to be found in
 the republican platform this year can be made in good faith. because of the manner in which the pledges of four years ago have been fulfilled ''lt is very certain that the repub- lican platform will not seek out high sounding issues to win support, but it will give special attention to those stressing problems which virtually affect the peace and prosperity of the country, and which are the common
 concern of every American citizen."
