Borah Says Entire Western

NEW YORK, July 1S.-EXtension to
the entire Western Hemisphere OF
the marvellous exhibition of faith In
moral forces" which he found in the
Constitution is urged by Senator Bo-

committee, with the greatest possible
contribution of the United States to

Writing in the current issue of the
Forum on THE Fetish of Force" the
American policy based upon reason

that is really willing to do what it pro.

We Can Be Example.

how the judgment against a sovereign

The fathers made no provision in

for law and the power of public opin

CHURCH JEALOUS I OF THE STAGE
This Is Charge Made by Otis Skinner

New York, May 25 (AP)-Jeal- ousy of the theater has been the underlying motive of the church in seeking stage censorship, Otis Skin ner, well known actor. said today in an address before 100 Methodist pastors. His statement drew pro- tests from the audience.
 Ever since tho inception of the drama in medieval England in the form of the mystery plays the church has recognized the thoGirI as a rival drawing power and has attempted to suppress it," said Mr. Skinner. Jealousy Is apparent in the effort of certain churches and religious bodies to Impose censor ship in the theater."
 Denying that he intended to de- fend salacious plays MT. Skinner said 1t was impossible 10 combat evil by edicts.
 The Rev. Dr. John l.. Langdale, chairman of the meeting. answered. Tt is news to me that the Metho- dist church is envious of the.theater. The attitude Of tho Methodist church toward the theater is prompted by two considerations, first the danger of corrupting the morals of children who are unable to discriminate between good and bad plays. and second. the apparent inpossibilty Of modifying the thc- atcr so as 10 exclude bad plays"
 His statement was greeted with applause.
