War on Obscene Magazines
Is Given Hearty Support

Campaigns to drive obscene publica-
tons from the news stands of various
cities of the United States have been
widely applauded. There seems to
be no audible defenders of the lurid
maya zine. for all published comment
reflects unqualified demand for its
suppression.
Special attention has been attracted
by the action of the Commissioners Of
the District OF Columbia in barring
the sale of certain specified publica
tons In the National Capital. THE
Washington Government" says the
Rock Island Argus, could do no more
helpful service to future generations
than in suppressing the salacious pub
locations that are now crowding the
newssta nds of the cities of the
United States to an alarming extent"
The Ann Arbor Times News explains:
I'm the District OF Columbia 10 So
called popular magazines have been
ordered withdrawn as obscene and
indecent. SO the indecent books ought
to be prohibited. likewise, but only
after careful selection. One of the
deplorable aspects OF the case is that
such actions are necessary"
This indictment of the perverted
taste of some readers Is touched upon
by the Martinsburg Journal, which
people are reading immoral magazines
in this country. That is perhaps an
exaggeration. 1t is hard to believe
| that there are so many who wish to
cheaper themselves in that way. Still
such publications are having too wide
circulation and they should be re.
quired to clean up or quit business"

measure of censorship when the

The remedy for present conditions

the Alsace-Lorraine of South Amer. ica. The territory is about 5000 square miles in area, about the size of the state of Massachusetts. Peru had declared war on Chile over nitrate fields and when the treaty of 1883 was signed Chile found herself in military possession of Tacna and Africa. It was agreed in the treaty that the disposition of the provinces should be decided by vote of people ten years after the war
 No agreement has been possible since, on the manner of carrying out the referendum. The respon- sibility first on Chile, then on Peru and ultimately by neutral opinion on both. Finally President Hard ing suggested that the negotiations be brought to Washington and at critical moment some suggestions from Secretary Huhes secured the adoption by both Peru and Chile of protocol agreeing to submit the dispute to arbitration by the United States.
 It was agreed in advance by both sides that if a referendum was or dered then the arbitrator was to fix the terms and conditions of the election, providing safeguards for an honest vote. The population of the disputed area is about 25,000. But virtually new generation has been born and grown old since 1883 and whatever the population of the 'egion was then 1t Is true that Chilean customs and administrative methods have been introduced. Yet civil and military officials are not to be permitted to vote and no one who has not lived in the area be- fore 1920 can vote. Also by Peru and Chile in the arbitration protocol originally it was agreed that which ever country lost the election would be paid s10,0OO,0OO by the winning country.
 Peru for many years complained that Chile would not arbitrate. Now the award had been made and while popular demonstrations are natural under the conditions, the United States is confident Peru will stand by her pledge and go into the ref erendum as provided.
 The region in dispute is a doubt ful value. A Bolivian diplomat once said that the controversy over Tacna

mental feeling of the Peruvian peo- pie and unfortunately may even hurt the good relations between the Unit ed States and Peru. The American people, of course, know that no pol icy consideration but the detached judicial mind of Charles Evans Hugh es, one of the foremost jurists of the world, wrote the decision
 Sentiment Set Aside.
 Ever since 1888 the question has been in dispute and MT. Hughes had his choice of making judicial or political award. So far as senti- ment goes, Peru has been better friend in recent years to America than has Chile. If favOritism were to have been the beneficiary. But MT. Hughes decided not on sentiment, but on the law and the facts.
 For forty-two years the two prov inces of Tacna and Africa have been

and Africa reminded him of "a fight between two bald-headed men for
 the possession of comb" But pride and sentiment run high in Latin countries and Peru doesn't like to lose. Yet if the popular vote of the residents turns out in her favor she will not have occasion to complain. And there is no cer- tainty about the outcome of the ref erendum, especially since election supervisors are to be arranged and the United States is to participate by inspectors in observing the cleo tion.
 If Chile wins there is some req son to believe she will give Bolivia -the only country in South Amer ica without a bit of seacoast-an outlet to the sea, possibly "cor- ridor" to the Pacific.
 There have been some interesting sidelights to the long legal battle. Democratic lawyers and republicans were in it. Former senators Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Joseph Bailey of Texas, together with Wade Ellis and Edward Borchard fought for Peru while Robert Lansing, former secretary of state under President Wilson, and Lester H. Woolsley, former solicitor of the department of state with MT. Lansing, were victorious for Chile. A host of Peruvian and Chinean lawyers were here for many months arguing the case and writing pamphlets and briefs galore.
 It has been the biggest arbitrd- tion controversy of a half century in the Western hemisphere. Its effects will be felt for years to come, and there are some Ameri- cans who regret that the United States got into the thing at all, but if the Washington government had refused, the dispute would have gone to the World Court and Amer ica under President Harding felt disposed to keep such disputes from being settled in Europe
