CARDINAL DEPLORES'
STAGE OBSCEN|TY.
Includes Night Clubs, Litera-
ture and Dress in Factors
Lowering Standards.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 25.-
Cardinal Hayes today deplored OBJ
scenity on the stage, in night clubs
and in literature and also immodesty
in dress. He gave his views to
Louis Seibold of the New York Eve
ming Post.
TT is sometimes alarming to realize
that after all the money spent for
education to reach higher moral
standards, the so-called liberal free
dom now acclaimed by many persons
has resulted in the lowering of them,
he said
Vulgar plays, obscene literature
and immodesty in the dress affected
by many young women are instances
that come to mind. Basically the
young men and women of today are
tust as sound morally as they were
a century ago. Some of them have
been led away by appeals to vanity
TO venture beyond the confines or
harmless frivolity."
Deplores Need Of Censorship.
Their return to proper influences.
the cardinal suggested, "can be &C
complished by directing the attention
of our boys and girls to the nee ana
helpful benefits of christianity.
Touching upon police censorship OF
the Broadway stage. the cardinal ue-
clared IL a sad commentary on the
intelligent civilization of our day
that renders necessary the threat OF
force to suppress immortality in any
form.
while. he said. official censorship of
the stage may have become neces.
sity. "our moral sense, the laws OF
decencv and good taste" should suffice
to correct immortality without recourse
to police power.
"I believe that public opinion is the
greatest corrective in civilization when
backed by a truly Christian spirit, but
public opinion is sometimes slow In
making itself felt, and its omission
necessitates organized effort backed by
official authority"
Compares Other Cities.
COMPARING theatrical conditions in
New York with other cities. Cardinal
HAYES suggested Broadway might
borrow a lesson from Boston and
Philadelphia, where such plays as
those now being denounced here by
the clergy. press and civic organiza-
tons are prohibited"
He defended New York. however, as
at heart as wholesome and noble as
any community in the world
eff the limited few offenders in the
theatrical professionalism there are a
great many spirited men en-
gagged In it--persist in challenging the
ordinary rules of decency. and even
go so far as to outrage elementary
morality, the time has been reached
when the laws should step in.
'aThe vast majority of men and
women in our own and other COM
munities prefer clean, healthy and de-
cent plays to other forms of diversion
that are now shocking this commu.
