DR., Holmes REPLIES

EOHN HAYNES HOLMES feels
a that I have misunderstood his
attitude on censorship and writes:
please, as you love me, or at least
as I love you, get me straight on
this theater business. I am not in
favor Of censorship, never have been
in favor of censorship and, God
helping me, never will.
L would resent a censors inter-
ference with the theater exactly as
I would resent a censor'S interfer-
ence with the church.
I said this in my debate again and
again, and yet again, and APPARENTLY
must say it still once more in order
to be understood.
What want is for the theater to
put its own house in order, and I
do not see that this is an un-
reasonable demand. But I am not
writing to argue my position.
II am seeking simply to correct
you and to give correction to your
readers in the idea which outrages
me that should be identified in
any sense of the word with such
prepoSterous churchmen as Cardinal
Hayes and Bishop Manning in their
attitude, which I abominate, oppose
and will gladly fight to the bitter
end"

burn. The more the Fish committee hunts Com
munists, the more Communists there seem to be.
The American Civil Liberties Union is right in
charging that the Fish committee has promoted a
spirit Of intolerance and repression in this country
caused an increasing number of attacks on peaceful
assemblage and scores Of unjustihed arrests and
prosecutions, and has revealed lack Of any con-
ception of Americas traditional civil liberty.
The union is right, also, in saying that revou-
tions are not produced by propaganda, but by un-
bearable conditions; that the way to fight Com
munism is to mend capitalism.
So far congress has inclined more to the unions
view than to that Of Fish, and there seems every
reason to hope that it will remain and uncon-
cerned about the ridiculous program Of repression
proposed by the committee.
Three members of the committee have introduced
measures to put into effect different parts of the
program, but all these measures have found their
way to committee pigeon holes, and none of them,
apparently, will be considered at this session of
congress.
Fish himself is framing a measure to give the
department of justice special red-hunting division
but there is little possibility that this can be com
pleted and considered before adjournment.
During the coming recess, congress will do well
to forget the bills altogether they sleep forever
in dusty pigeon holes, will miss them

A QUALITY of cruelty runs
IA through the point of view of
this novelist. He would as soon
knife character in the back as look
at hin-probably sooner.
Few people in fiction ever have
been so harshly dealt with as his
Boshere, the hero OF "a Jew in
Love" He constantly is racked and
manned into all sorts of meanness
by his creator.
To me there is slightly estrang-
ing quality in this savage sport. Yet
I must admit that all of us can
be interested and moved by f1ctional
cruelty. There comes a point
however, when the reader will rebel
and cry out: stop the fight"
I am not a foe Of ribaldry.
But the explosive obscenity Of Ben
Hecht sometimes is annoying. It
is as if a man with dirty story
insisted upon telling it through a
megaphone.
Ineed, there is almost a regi-
mented quality in the ribaldry OF
this book.
Ben Hecht has constituted himself
a sort of cheer leader determined to
blast PUritanism out Of power by
dint Of nine rahs.

abstain from food or to use the
purgative previously.
Carbon tetrachloride is the rem
edy exceedingly popular at the
present time. 1t has had extensive
use by workers in the Rockefeller
Foundation who have treated thou
sands of cases without any i'll eff

Once the patient with hook
worm disease is freed of the
worms, he begins to recover rapidly
from his anemia, provided he is
given good food with blood-building
values.
The diet should be one similar to
that taken for anemia, including
plenty of leafy green vegetables,
liver. milk and similar substances.
The physician can prescribe iron
in a form suitable to the patient,
which will aid rapidly in building
the red colof1ng matter of the
blood.

Strange Situation

MO wonder Arthur Henderson,
~ British foreign secretary,
shudders at what is inevitable if
the world keeps on arming and
equipping itself with these devilish
instrumentalities of war.
AS he says, war never can be hu-
manized, except in a haIf-hearted,
inconsequential way. What does it
signify to outlaw the sharp saber, or
dumdum bullet and then use poison
gas?
Though ready to admit the in
humanity of obsolete weapons, we
seldom can see anything wrong with
the more modern and deadly kind.
Above all else, we can't seem to
get over the idea that man is fore
doomed to organized, wholesale
murder; that, no matter how sensi-
BILE he may be in trying to save his
kind from the ravages Of disease
and poverty, he can't think Of any
thing. but death and destruction
when it comes to settling his quar-
relS.
The Indianapolis times., 1931-02-11

DLATO, who was a soldier, as well
L as philosopher, considered
war not only unavoidable, but a
legitimate outlet for surplus energy
or surplus population.
Though pretending otherwise, we
still pursue the same doctrine.
When it comes to raising money,
we always can do a better job for
war than for anything else.
Thirteen years ago, we expert
enced no great difficulty in raising
thirty billion dollars and mobiliz-
ing four million men.
Right now, we appear to be
stumped by the problem of putting
about the same number of men to
work in useful ways, though it would
cost far less and represent no waste
of money in the end, much less of
life.

DEN HECHT ought to know bet

DEN HECHT ought to know bet
ID ter. After all, he was a news
paper man once himself.
His new book, "a Jew in Love, y
has the seed of an excellent idea.
Thre are whole pages of brilliant
and searching writing. But the novel
in it's entirety fails completely.
It does something more than fail.
Tt achieves a very persuasive and
penetrating boredom, and the book
is tiresone in a way which might
be readily avoided.
A blue and punitive pencil could
readily make "a Jew in Love" an
interesting affair.
Hecht's literary career always has
been marked by a strange duality.
Once in SO often he dashes off a
light story. This is generally done
with terrific speed.
Indeed, he has spread the legend
that "The Florentine Dagger" was
written within twenty-four hours as
the result of a bet. I do not credit
this assertion.
I suspect that possibly it was two
days or three days. But one day
makes a better story.

In other words" the committee
says, ''we still are getting nearly 30
per cent in number of buildings
almost everywhere in the country, SO
ugly and off color, so badly arranged
and inappropriately placed on ac-
count OF bad street planning, lack
Of proper zoning, etc, that they
form a liability instead of an asset

DR.. Holmes and those On his side

My complaint always has been
that censorship never is intelligent.

You can detect him in the act of

In fact, I suspect that Mr.. Hecht's
dislike for life in general and all
the people who walk the earth is so
great that he lists among his
enemies the reader.
There is as yet no law compelling
any reader to remain with a book
which he finds tiresome. 1t would

When our great rivers have been
walled in, we shall have done no
more than some European coun-

And what we have yet to do at

our opportunities abroad.
EOUR generations ago, when we
4 enjoyed little prestige as a ma

with which to back it up, our clipper
ships were carrying the gospel of
American enterprise all over the
world. That's what we ought to be
doing with our dirigibles and air

And what a job We could do, with
the right spirit and perspective.
