NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITsCHERT

In view of the effort which is to be
made in the present session of Con-
gress to give the government, through
the Secretary of Agriculture, virtual
control of advertising through the So
called Tugwell bill, it is interesting to
note that the motion picture industry,
through the Motion Picture Produc-
ers and Distributors Association, of
which former Postmaster General Will
H. Hays is head, has already taken ac-
ton to regulate its own advertising
and to eliminate Objectionable fea-
lures.

all lighthouse keepers throughout the
world.
Other parts of the broadcast
brought snatches of Christmas songs
from the happy, roistering crowds in
the London streets, the Welch coal
mines and the English midlands.
This Christmas broadcast, which no
doubt was heard by millions of people,
must have impressed profoundly those
who listened to it with the vast and
startling change which has come over
the world.

THIS LITTLE OLD
WORLD
By ]. A. HALL, in the Decatur (Ga.)
New Era

The vast change which has taken
place in our relationship to the rest of
the world was shown in most start
ling way on Christmas Day when a
message of holiday greeting, starting
with the clock strikes of the famous
big Ben," in the London Tower,
swept majestically through the far
flung reaches of the British empire
and encircled the world in a little more
than fifteen minutes.
This remarkable feat not only
showed that the earth, which was once
thought to be vast and mysterious,
has shrunken to the size of a rural
county, but it also showed the extent
and unity of the British Empire, and
it strengthened the sense of nearness
by enabling people, who are accus-
toned to stay at home, to hear the
voices they told the time of day, the
kind of weather and described the in
innate surroundings in the widely diff
ferent regions.
i *
The message came from London to
Dublin, thence to Bermuda, thence to
Ottawa, and here long jump was
made to Wellington, New Zealand.
The announcer at Wellington made
the surprising statement that it was
early forenoon on December 26 and
that fields of ripening wheat and
waving sugar cane dotted the summer
landscape. From New Zealand the
message was conveyed to Bombay, In
dia. Here the world was told that
bedtime had arrived and most people
had retired after the usual Christmas
festivities. The next jump was to
South Africa where the jolly an
nouncer in Cape Town told in a roll
licking way of the glorious sunshine,
blSpming lawns and hedges and the
restful Table Bay, crowded with YES
sells from many lands. He had the
spirit of a true American real estate
promoter. He ended his talk by in
viting people everywhere who do not
like their home climate to come to
South Africa, where the sun shines,
the flowers bloom and the birds sing
without restraint. When he had fin
ished, the jolly Afrikander gave a
glad shout, Hello, London!" and the
circuit around the world, made step
by step from one British possession to
another, was completed. Then King
George took the stage and, in clear
cut easily understood words, deliv-
cred Christmas message to his peo-
pie throughout the world. Americans,
who are unfamiliar with royalty,
must have been struck with the hu-
man qualities of the kings speech.
Like other speakers, he sometimes
found it necessary to clear his throat
and to repeat word he had mis-read.
In former times, kings and rulers
were not often seen or heard by the
masses of the people. There was no
way for them to speak to whole popu-
lations either in their own dominions
or in foreign lands. The radio not
only reduced the size of the earth, and
abolished time, but it has swept away
the dignity of kings and destroyed
the glamour of greatness by which the
heads of nations were once wont to
surround themselves.
* II
A thrilling part of the broadcast
was the message from the keeper of
St. Mary's lighthouse on the shore of
Northumberland, who described the
view of the cold, rugged coast combed
by the foaming breakers of the North
Sea. From his bleak station, the
keeper sent his message of greeting to

vertising by the government through
the Secretary of Agriculture, or any
other secretary, let us see whether
some other method of wiping out
whatever advertising defects there
are, may not be possible. 1t would
seem that the motion picture indus
try has given us at least one timely
hint.

This is to be done through an agree
ment entered into by all the large mo-
ton picture companies to submit in
advance all advertising copy to the
Advertising Advisory Council of the
association. 1t is said that a surpris-
ingly large number of the independent
companies have agreed to come into
the arrangement also. The plan is
much more far reaching than anything
which has been attempted in the past.
1t is believed that it will take care of
situation which has caused the mo-
ton picture organization a great deal
of concern. According to Mr.. Hays,
1.-THE action of the advertising depart
ments in cooperating with the Adver-
Using Advisory Council to the point of
eliminating the Objectionable features
in all forms of motion picture adver-
Using is further effort by the produc-
ers to make certain the greatest care
and good taste in their advertising.
We believe this amplified plan will
help to that end"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1934-01-11

The move is certainly step in the
right direction. Some fthe motion
picture advertising has been objec-
tionable from more than one stand
point. 1t has not been good business,
either, as by exaggeration it has in
some cases kept a great many people
away from motion picture plays of
merit, because they got the mistaken
impression from the advertising that
the play was not one of the kind they
would care to see. In this respect Mr..
J. J. Mccarthy, chief of the Advertis-
ing Advisory Council of the associa-
ton, says that "there are more people
of the country today who do not pa
tronize motion picture theatres than
those who do. wonder if objectiona-
bic advertising and exploitation are
not keeping these customers away
from the box offices. If this be true,
it would appear quite reasonable to
suggest that we go after the vast au-
dience of inactive picture goers, and
the very first method that should be
used is clean advertising, to appeal
directly to the many thousands of de-
cent living families who have virtually
been driven from our theatre doors
by advertising Of bad taste"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1934-01-11

The point which is to be emphasized
here is that this action has been taken
by the motion picture interests them
selves through their own ranks and by
their own methods. There has been
no government censorship and no gov
eminent control. Nor can it be be-
lieved for moment that any censor
ship of advertising or its methods by
the Secretary Of Agriculture or any
commission or individual of the gov
eminent would be advisable from any
standpoint. One form of censorship
and government control of publicity
will sooner or later lead to additional
steps in the same direction until we
might finally have federal control or
censorship of public thought. Such
condition ought not to be tolerated
in free America for a moment.
Before we think of control of ad-
