LEADERS 10 SEEK | HARDING INTERVIEW Effort of Fordney to Get Tariff Views May Mean Return to Oid Order. Indicative of a return to the old or- der of White House conferences with congressional leaders, republican mem- bers of the House ways and means committee have decided to seek an in- terview with President-elect Harding soon after his inauguration. Chairman Fordney, it was said to- day, plans to call his committee to- gether March 14 to map out a policy as to financial legislation. Before be- ginning this work, however, he was said to desire a dicussion on tariff and revenu legislation with Mr. Hard- ing, and it was assumed the proposed mecting will be sought next week, in order that the committee might get down to work on the date scheduled. Desire Full Explanation. Although committee members de- clined to discuss the plan in detail it was learned that Mr. Fordney desires a fuller explanation of Mr. Harding's Views on the two principal matters with which the committee will deal during the extra session. There were hints also that a frank statement by the President as to what he deemed expe- dient might serve to solidify the ma- Jority members of the committee, who are known not to be in full accord. Some of the committee members do not belleve it wise, in view of the diffi- culties which have attended the Ford- ney emergency tariff in its recent pas- sage, to attempt the enactment of a second temporary measure, which Mr. Fordney has proposed as a stop-gap tariff law. They fear that even though the program to which Mr. Harding's approval was given may be broader than the last emergency tariff, attempts might be made to change it in some particulars and the bill would suffer the same delay the Fordney bill en- countered. In view of this there were reports that before the proposed White House con- ference House and Senate leaders would get together in an attempt to reach a common ground.

T the Bditer of The Star: In the matter of motion gletun cen- sorship there are two conflicting con- widerations. the right of American cit- fgens to the minimum of an personal liberty and the undesira- ity ot to immature inds subjects witkh which, under our :—nx wocial customs and organisa- vertised Pennsylvania type, ich vests In the censors the power ts say what may or may not be pre- mented at all, sacrifices the former nsideration. while no censorship at 1 disregards the latter. There would @tem, however, to be a form of cen- rskip under which both of the fore- ng_considerations could be quite ell harmonized. That is, a censor- ship which would leave the question what may be exhibited to the jult population to the police de- ment, as at present, but which ‘would give to the censors the power 1 tb decida what may not be exkibited 1 to children, say, under sixteen years of age, unless accompanied by parent or guardian g i Under such a schems the adult pop- wlation could attend any exhibitions permitted by the legal authorities d could take their children if they ighed. But they would have the as- suranoe that their crildren could not surreptitiously attend performances wihich it might not be expedient for them to view. With this kind of cen- worship there would not be any dan- r of & narrow board of censors, un- Ely exercising their prejudices to the triment of the general public. The censors could in nowise infringe upon 30 present liberties of the adult pop- ation, and furthermore, tte work- ings of the censorship board would ways be in the public view in the ape of fima from which the chil- dren were barred. In case the cen- rship were badly administered the Shibicors could put on the flms with restricted attendance, and bring the matter directly to publio attention. Jf = censorstip must be had this Would seem to ba the ideal kind. ERNEST M. FERNALD. OESIGNS NEW GAS MASK.
