REMARKS ARE RESENTED
Implication That Film Producer

Flatly Denied "Body Too
Large to Bo Reached."
Mrs. E. B. Colwell. secretary of the
local Board of Motion ricture Censors,
Is sharply criticised In a letter written
by O. O. Cocks, advisory secretary of
the National Board of Censors, for her
remarks against the National Board,
made In a recent address before tbe
Clvlo Lesrue la Portland.
The Portland committee advisory to
tha National Board consists of tha Rv
W. O. Eliot. Dr. William T. Foster, of
Reed College, and Mrs. Millie Trumbull.
Th principal objection made by Mr.
Cocks to Mrs. Colwell's address was her
Implication that tha National Board Is
not aa well fitted to censor motion
Moore brothers. Owen. Tom and Matt. I pictures as tha Portland Board, because
It receives money for Its support from
tb producers of motion picture.
In his letter upon Mrs. Colwell s aa
dree Mr. Cock says:
"I have been surprised to read in
Tha Oregonlan tha arguments of lira
EL B. Colwell on tha regulation of
motion picture In Portland, under date
of November Si. Th facts of th case

"From lo lo tb present time this
board ha performed Its work day by
day. It baa never consented to allow
anyone connected with th motion
picture Industry In any way to serve
on Its committees or direct In any way
Ita policies. It seems Inconceivable that
surb charges as those mad by Mrs.
Colwell would meet with th accept
anc of dear-minded Individual any
where.
a "Tha National Board I too Urge an
organisation to be "reached Tb only
desir which tb IS volunteer members
of the general commute and tbe 1st
of th censoring committee have I to
perform .he public service of excluding
th harmful from this National arauae-
mnt- Tb decisions which ar reached
ar those of Sana, sensible public serv
ants, who are constantly In touch with
publlo opinion and wro ar not to b
swayed or biased by emotions! critics,
who continually lnl. that th Ideal
becoro th slandsrd.
"It I aa foollau to charge th Na
tional Board with Improper relation
and biased derlalons because of Its sup
port a It ! to make rlmliar attacks
upon tba Young Men' Christian Asso
ciation, tb churches, tb Bureau of

ganisation commission and tb Na
tional child labor committee, or tbe
National committee on prison labor,
bees use Urge gifts com to them from
business men. bankers, politicians or
members of th so-called leisure class.
"Mrs. Colwell has assumed that only
a limited number of persons In any city
have 'the education to pas upon the
Intricate questions Involved in tbe de
cision ot whether or not a picture is
moral In Its Influence upon tbe public'
Tba nub of tha question Is Just here.
Tb police are excluded from this cul
tured group? the politicians are ex
cluded, the common people are exclud
ed, the motion picture exhibitor are
excluded, the worker are excluded
indeed, all those are excluded who
have not sufficient intellectual and
moral attainments to detect 'the hair
which divides th false from the true.
The National board believes that Jus
tice can only be done when the opln
Ion of other classes besides those men'
ttoned are discovered and registered.
"It Is far better to do away with a
board which la aristocratic In its point of
view and oppressive In its Judgments,
than to allow such class opinions to
dominate in an American cny. inc
Judgments of tbe real public are whole
some. They quickly make clear their
disapproval of things which are baa.
"Let me assure you that the members
of the National board will conduct their
difficult work carefully, earnestly and
courageously, however frequently they
are attacked by persons who do not
understand the situation, who are emo
tional In their Judgments, who ques.
tlon the wholesomeness of the public or
who are governed by theory.

LONDON, Dec. 6. In their editorials
the London morning papers express
great disappointment over the severe
check of the Mesopotamia campaign,
which they admit precludes any pros
pect of an early renewal of the ad
vance on Bagdad. The Times says:
"Although British reinforcements are
believed to be at hand, we think the
public must make up its mind to wait
for a considerable time before the min
arets of Bugdad are sighted by the
British troops." and proceeds to critl-
nlnft the. r.nnduct of the camDaigrn, ask
ing why an attempt was made to cap
ture the city on the end of water com
munication 600 miles in length with a
single division and on what military
grounds it was decided to exchange the
admittedly strong position of Kut-el-Amara
