amendment by Cutting which would
have permitted entrance Of all literature
that might be held to be immoral or
seditiouS. The vote was 46 to 30 Tor
retention of the sections as written In
the bill.
The opposition that was heaped on
the New Mexican Senator's original pro-
posal led Cutting to modify 1t, and as
a result he drew seven additional Sen
ators to his cause.
Like Literary Lecture.
Like a schoolmaster lecturing class
in the classics and the PHILOSOPHERS Of
such literary geniuses as Homer,
the youthful looking Senator from the
Southwest pictured clerk of the Blu
reau of Customs" passing on whether
these or works Of q political nature
transgressed decency or could befoul
the minds of Americans believing in
free speech and government by the
people.
The youth of the land, he said, must
be guarded against moral corruption by
their families and the laws of the
States, and not by an individual Gus
toms inspector. It was ridiculous to
bar an occasion immoral book, he
argued. when adolescent children could
read in the daily newspapers of muir
ders and sordid love scandals.
Speaking for the bills provisions, Sen
ator Smoot, Republican, Utah, said 1t
was scarcely consistent on the part of
Congress to prohibit the dissemination
of this matter through the use of the
mails and yet allow the country to be
flooded from abroad"

SENATE CURTA|LS
LITERATURE BANS
Authority of Customs Inspec.
tors Cut by Amendment
81 Senator Cutting.

After two days of debate over the
extent to which customs officials should
be permitted to go in barring from this
country literature which might be re-
garded as immoral or seditious, the
Senate late yesterday voted to curtail
somewhat the authority Of the Customs
Bureau in this respect.
BY a vote of 38 to So 1t adopted an
amendment by Senator Cutting, Re-
publican, New Mexico. striking from
the tariff bill the provision in existing
law barring the importation of books
held by customs officials to be of an
immoral nature and eliminating part of
a new provision which would have
closed the doors to entry Of literature
advocating treason or inSurrection.
Amendment Is Accepted.
At the suggestion of Senator Couzens,
Republican, Michigan, the New Mexico
Senator modified his proposal to retain
that section of the. new provision pro-
hibiting entry of literature urging forci-
BILE resistance to any law of the United
States or containing a threat against
the life of an American citizen. In this
form it was adopted.
Earlier the Senate had rejected an
