SACCO CASE RIVETS ATTENTION
ON REFORM OF CRIMINAL LAW

drawn unprecedented notice to the
faults in existing administration Of
American criminal law.
In his recent address before The
American Law Institute, its president
former Attorney General George w
Wickersham, said: The work we
have undertaken, this body hopes
may result in a useful contribution to
ward the simplification OF our crimi
nal procedure, the necessity for which
is widely recognized.
1--WE hardly could have escaped un
dertaking this work. Popular thought
at the present time is more immedi
ately concerned with the criminal law
and its enforcement than with the
civil law. The reports in the daily
press of crimes of violence against the
person and crimes against property
have inf1amed the popular ina gina
ton to a point which has compelled
action In many directions. More dras
tic penal laws are being enacted by
Legislatures; increases are being made
in the number of judges of our crimi.

torces;, surveys or studies of the con.

missions, national and local, have been
formed. Our own contribution to the
effort to meet this great fundamental
problem of conserving the peace and
security Of the people may be slight,
but it will be our endeavor to make it
valuable so far as it goes"
Gov. Hadley has telegraphed the
writer the following statement:
'The crime for which Sacco and
VanZetti were convicted was com.
mitted in 1920. They were tried and
convicted in 1921. But their convic-
tion was not affirmed by the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts until 1926.

ton Of this delay. Whether if was
due to the efforts of the defense or
neglect of the prosecuting officers, it
evidences cumbersome and archaic

procedure should make such delays
impossible. for justice delayed is often
as bad as justice denied. The report
of the committee on reform of crimi.

The Mexican governments action
this week in barring 19 American
finn companies from the use or the
Mexican mails has focused Wash.
ingtons attention upon a Worldwide
rebellion against the American MIN
industry.
Although the Mexican action was
taken because the 10 companies had
imported films which were offensive
70 the Mexican people, and especially
to the socalistic theories of the Mex
ican government anti-American MIN
prejudice in other countries Is more
deep rooted. 1t is chiefly inspired by
the belief that trade follows the
film and that American exports are
undermining British and German
trade by using the movies as silent
statesmen. Also the British empire
is worried because the inhabitants of
it's far-fung empire are learning
American slang, studying American
news events and being imbued with
American history almost as thorough
ly as they learn the British view
points-and all from the movies.

So serious has been this world wide
rebellion against the American movie
that the Department of Commerce
has detailed one of its trade commits.

his time abroad studying the move
ment. while the Department Of State
has detailed one of its consuls, Harold
l.. Smith, to do the same thing.
Foreign reaction has taken the form
of quota" and contingent" laws in
Germany, Austria and Australia, by
which the number of American films
imported is made contingent upon the
number of films produced locally.
Czechoslovakia, Great Britain and
Italy, although they have not yet
actually passed these laws, have
threatened to do SO.

films, we are unable to represent our.
selves as we are
AS a result of all this, Parliament
is considering a bill by which each
exhibitor will be required to use
British. N ade films to the extent Of 5
per cent of all he shows. This ratio
is to be increased year by year, until
after 121a years 20 per cent of the
films shown in England will be British
made. At present 80 per cent of the
films appearing in England theaters
are American, while more than half
of the remaining 10 per cent are
German.
Germany has already put into eff
feet contingent plan, whereby So
per cent Of all films must be German
produced. The plan has not worked
out for the benefit of the German
| industry, however, for it is provided
that every company producing a film
of it's own may then be allowed to inn
port a film from the United States.
AS result, cheap German films are
rushed through simply so that the
company may get permission to inn
port some star feature from Holly
wood. All Of the important German
companies have interlocking directo.
rates with American film compa MES,
so that it is almost equally profitable
to import American films.
Australians Evade Law.
In Australia each picture house is
required to show 1000 feet of British
made film every evening. But local
exhibitors have been evading this law
by starting their programs early and
running the British film off before
the regular crowd arrives Recently,
however, the Australian government
has intervened and stipulated that
| the British films must be run be-
| tween certain hours.
Austria has recently introduced a
contingent plan which requires one
| film ITO be produced in Austria for
every 10 foreign films which are i'm.
ported.
Although few Of these restrictions
have definitely aided movie produc
, ton in foreign countries, enough agi
| tation has been stirred up to c2;;se
win Hays. chief mogul of the movie
world, to launch a campaign against
| foreign restrictions.
Restrictive measures" says MIR.
| Hays, "are as inconsistent as 1t would
| be for us to decree that no book
should be placed in our libraries that
| was not written by an American, pub
! lished by an American and sold by
