RESERVATIONS
SATISFACTORY
TO COOLIDGE
President Has No Intention
Of Proposing Changes in
Them to Senate

Washington, Sept. 2l-LP)-Prcs-
ident Coolidge has no disposition to
seek changes in the reservations at
tached by the senate to American ad-
herencc to the world court.
Suggestions in Geneva that one of
the reservation be modified on IA
compromise basis have not reached
the government in official form, but
the White House declared today that
the chief executive feels he has no
authority to propose such changes to
the senate.
The reservations. it was said at the
White House, were intended to pro-
tcct American interests, and the
presidents opinion is that they speak
for themselves.
Most of the discussion ut Geneva
concerning the reservations has CEN
tered about the fifth, which stipulatcs
that the world court may not render
an advisory opinion in "A case involv
ing the United States without the
consent Of this government.
The president believes that rcscrva-
ton should stand as it is.

SEES MOVIE INSTITUTION
ON THEATRICAL MODEL
Film Director Forecasts Manage
ment Similar to Little Thsater
of Legitimate Stage.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 25.-That a
motion picture institution similar to
the little theater of the legitimate
stage, in which the director may
follow his artistic ambitions with
out reins, some day will come into
existence, is the belief Of Herbert
Brenon, who directed the filming Of
Barrie's Peter Pan" and "A Kiss
for Cinderella
The plan. he thinks, will be put III
operation by one IF several wealthy
producers interested in real develop
ment of the movies.
TT Will mark the time when the
director will not temper artistic de-
Brenon declares Even now the
reins lead not so much from the
producers pocketbook as from the
public's taste.
"A film to be g. financial success
must please the average man and
woman. This taste naturally has its
effect on the artistic DEVELOPMENT of
the motion picture. The public's ap-
probation has shown a remarkable
improvement IN recent years and we
must do our part in making better
pictures.
The busiest man in a studio is the
director. His is the greatest respon-
sibility and to him generally comes
the least credit SO far as the public
Is concerned.
Before Brenon asks any one of
his cast to play a scene, he works
1t out on the set, acting all the roles
himself, just to see if what he has
evolved In the way of action feels
natural in the playing. Many times
he goes through the parts to show
the players how he wants them
acted

HOUSE LEADERS HIT
RUBBER MONOPOLY
TiISon and Hull Cite Dangers
Resulting From British
Control.

The British rubber situation was
touched upon in two statements is
sued yesterday by leaders of both
parties in the House. Representative

floor leader, asserted that interna-
British rubber control and that
America is facing nine such monop-
olies.
Mr.. Tilson was commenting on the
address delivered In New York Satur-
day by Sir Esme Howard, the Brit
nish Ambassador
Representative Hull, Democrat, of
Tennessee, pictured the high tariff
schedules as causing foreign retalia.
tons, and mentioned rubber and cot
fee as examples.
Mr.. Tilson. who introduced the reso.
luton under which the House com
merce committee conducted its inves.
tgation Of foreign moropolies, de.
5crlbed these as the main points still
outstanding:
The monopoly continues to restrict
production; prices are still unreason.
able; international friction has grown
out OF It; American consumers mus
further restrict their cpnsumpti0ri'
other governmental monor1lieS have
already apparently grown out Of This
precedent and its hiEn profits arr

others are probable, W. are It'll con

whether the governments Of the world
are to take the international Trade ir

upon"
Asserting that we do not in any
way wish to criticize the action of the
british government, but we Cannon
find our solution without Analysing
the methods and results Of the govern

enlrha sized that the high success
of the rubber control seems to be slim
ulating other governments to the same
action in other materials with more
friction in prospect
