MINISTERS APPEAL

ger of Rending
DR. CRAFTS HITS MOVIES
lluptist ministers, In their weekly
conference, today, urged the posting In
all churches of a warning issued by
the Judicial section of the American
liar Association against disregard of
laws. The warning asserts that dragon
teeth nre being sewed by disregard of
the prohibition law by influential busi
ness men utul that the inevitable result
will be ii collapse, of all laws.
The recommendation was made by the
llev. Samuel Zane Itatten in ti report of
the Civic ItlffhtceuH Committee.
"Kducntlen nsd morals arc ljMially
far abend of lcglsliitlen." the minister
said, "but nt present the opposite seems
te held trun: that legislation is nhead.
Wc nre facing n serious crisis In tbe
temperance movement nnd one which
gees deeper and strikes at the very
foundntlen of our civilization, iininely,
the disregard of ail law that comes from
open violation of temperance laws.
"The committee feels that every
church should place iu n conspicuous
place the warning nleng this line re
cently gotten out by the judicial section
of the American Itur Association, where
nil may see It."
The speaker also urged it catnpnlgn
in the churches te create sentiment
which will compel stricter enforcement
nxainst automobile drivers.
"An average et one person is killed
In Philadelphia by ittitomebllw every
day," he Mild. "That average should
be greatly reduced, l.lfc conies llrst. It
muy be necessary te put people in Jail
In order te slew down automobiles, but
it should be clone. If we create nt-
mespheru for this, we may be ablu te
create conviction in the courts. It U
up te us te help step this slaughter,"
he added, ".and we can de it by bring
ing the facts before the people.
Tln vnutli nf Anierie.'i Is threatened

by moving-picture producers, unci is

dustry is net restituted, according te
the ltev. Wilbur F. Crafts, superin
tendent of the National Ueferni 15u

Dr. Crafts' organisatien is backing a
bill, new in Congress, te have tnt
moving-picture industry placed under

such us the National Chamber of Com
merce, he told the Piesbjleilnn min
isters meeting in the Witherspoon
llulldlng this morning,
"A beard of men of unquestioned in
tegrity nnd intelligence should be ap-
pointed
te leek into ntlairs et tue
movie?. " Dr. Crafts said. "Will HaS
is an honorable man. but he cannot lie
expected te de nil the work of elimi
nating the undesirable stuff that per
meates the Industry. And 1 may udd
l but there is no industry iu America
that Is se little controlled by Ameri
cans." The speaker also mentioned ninny
ether bills nnd amendments pending in
Congress, principal among them being
one te enact a universal divorce law.
that would prevent persons divorced
from marrying within n jeur after they
lecelved their decree.
The sermon and religious service en

Wants Experts Admitted te
Conference Discussion en
Control of Straits
liV Aiseciattd I'rest
I-Ausnnne, Dec. II. Foreign Min
ister Tchltchcrin. of llussia, today sub
mitted a formal note te the Near F.ast
conference, protesting against the ex
clusion of the llusslan exnerts from the

ine'xurKisn unci Entente nnvnt and mn-
Itary experts concerning control of the
Straits.
The question of hew control of the
Turkish Htraitn will be administered
whether through some body under the
League of Nations or under some In
ternational unit wholly beparnte from
the League Is Jicing generally nsked
by members of the Near East confer
ence delegations which have no repre
sentatives among thu military and naval
experts who nre new discussing the
Straits problem informally with the
Turks.
Inasmuch as llussia. Turkey nnd
America ure net members of the League
of Nations there xveuld doubtless be
strong objection te any plan te make
control of tin, Strnits n l.niicne affair.
Lord Curzon bus enlv once alluded te
n plan' for the administration of the
watcrwny. and then only In the most
indefinite wny, saying that It had net
been decided whether regulation of the
straits would lie placed under tne
League or some ether organization.
lsiuet Pasbu nnd his itiu.isii U..SO
elates are a little mere friendlv te tlie
League Idea than nre Foreign Minister
Tchltcherii, und the ether belshevik
lenders, who denounce It at every en
pertunlty, declaring ilmt the organiza
tion of nations is useless, iiiiismuch us
the United Slates does net belong.
Although some of the French dele
gates have been striving hard te get
the conference te declare u ('hristuius
holiday, the negotiations ure in siicli.un
uncertain state that Lord Curzon find
many ether delegates regard a long va
cation ns undesirable.
It new seems unlikely that there will
be n cessation of the discussions for
longer than Christmun Duy, unless it is
possible te sign some sort of a tenta
tive agreement or protocol before tbut
time.
