February 14-—Respon- sible party government is the backbone of the United States, and any depar- ture from that system would lead to anarchy, Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of the House of Representatives, told the National Republican Club at its Lincoln day dinner. “My experience has convinced me more and more that the safety of the| Nation depends on responsible party | government,” he said. “I believe it would be disastrous for the United States to adopt. even in the slightest degree. the group and bloc system, with its numerous parties, which is the bane of Europe today. “The House.” he continued, “has a system of responsible part govern- ment. and has pretty well solved the problems it has had to handle. An- other body, for which I have the high- est respect, has no such system, and 80 it has done nothing.” Speaker Longworth also voiced a plea for a political tem free from *“dis- tinctions of geography, race, or, worst | ©of all, of religion " He expressed confidence that import- ant legislation now pending in the House, including flood relief. te mer- chant marine and the Navy program, would be substantially solved Gen.

BROWN HOLDS (Continued from First Page.) primary election day. That the en- trance of Secretary Hoover will result in a loss to Senator Willls of some valuable supporters is highly probable. National Committeeman Maurice Maschke of Cleveland, who has been operating with the Senator's forces, today announced himseif for Hoover. This will obviate the almost incon- ceivable situation of the national com- | mittee and Theodore E. Burton work- ing in opposition ranks. Charles A. Jones, Senator Willis’ secretary. who has been here for some days acting as aide to Col. Carmi A. Thompson, his manager, says Senator Willis will spend a great deal of his time during the primary campaign in PROBE OF LOBBIE SEEN AT CAPITOL Wélsh, Massachusetts, Seek- ing Compulsory Listing as Utility Inquiry Looms. BY DAVID LAWRE A “lobby investigation” comparable to the famous Mulhall investigation of th> early days of the Wilson adminis- tration seems today to be in prospect. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon- tana has charged in the Senate that the most powerful lobby which he has known of in all his legislative experi- ence is attempting to bury the proposed investigation of the utility industry. Ohio. speaking as often and in as many Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, Demo- places as his senatorial duties will permit. Willis Able Campaigner. The Senator is one of the ablest campaign speakers the Republicans of Ohio have had since Foraker's time. As Mr. Hoover is not to come to Ohio. it will be necessary for the Hoover men |to secure good campaign speakers to counteract this work. Walter F. Brown, who is to spend much of his time in the State in the next few weeks. can- {not do this. He is an excellent political | manager—none better in the State— {but he is neither a ready nor an ef- | fective_campaign speaker. | Mr. Brown is to be here today, com- | ing up from Cincinnati. where he was in conference last night with Robert Taft. Whether he brings the formal declaration of Mr. Hoover's candidacy for filing with the secretary of State is not known, but it is expected that he will attend to this matter while here. Thus on the record Mr. Hoover may anticipate Senator Willis, for the latter has not yet filed his declaration. Col. | Thad Brown said that he would confer today with Walter F. Brown regarding | the selection of the candidates for dele- gates, State and district, and for alter- nates. They recognize the need for speeding up as to this matter, for Mr. Hoover will have to furnish each such candidate with a statement giving him his special permission to run for dele- gate or alternate as the case may be, pledged to support the Secretary. Col. Thompson opened headquarters for the Willis organization in the Desh- ler Hotel with Jones as second in com- mand. The selections of Willis delegate candidates have mostly been made pub- lic through congressional district or- ganization indorsement from time to time in the last two weeks, the large city district, where Hoover sentiment is admittedly strong. being withheld, as there caution will have to be used. It is in these districts that the Hoover or- ganization is likely to break the Willis Nauts Swings to Hoover. News of the first break on the part of Federal officeholders who hold their places by the approval of Senator Wil- lis came from Toledo this week, when Charles H. Nauts of Toledo, United States revenue collactor from the To- ledo district, declared for Hoover. This is regarded as a telling blow by Walter F. Brown upon the Willis Federal ap- pointees’ support. Col. Thompson went into conference with his lieutenants immediately upon his arrival yesterday, declining to com- ment upon Secretary Hoover's entrance into the Ohio campaign, promising a statement covering the matter later. From Willis' supporters it was learned that it was expected to attack Secre- tary Hoover on his support of the League of Nations. Senator Willis has a record of opposition to the League from the beginning and Ohio Republi- cans, he believes, are overwhelmingly opposed to e League. They believe that this attack will af- fect Secretary Hoover. ly in Hamilton County, where the party is made up largely of Germans, who are not only bitter against the late Presi- dent Wilson, but opposed to the League. With -this argument used vigorously in Cincinnati, the Willis men say the effort to hold those two districts in line for the Senator will not be hopeless. Just how far Senator Willis will be able to use his dry record in compari- {son with that of Secretary Hoover will dend, of course, on the nature of the Secretary’s reply to Senator Borah as to prohibition, which is expected to be made public this week. They expect also to question Secretary Hoover as {to his record as a Republican. when he became a Republican and whether he is able to accept the traditional Re- publican doctrine as to tariff for pro- tection. Compromise Unlikely. All thoughts of an agreement that |may prevent or even mitigate | flerceness of the primary campaign are | evidently discarded, and both sides are | preparing with feverish haste for ac- | tion which begins at once. The Hoover | leaders here are now studying the ad- | dress of Benator Willis in New Eng- iland last week, in which he laid down | his 10 points for a basis of the Repub- |lican campaign for this year, for indi- | cations as to the course that his fight | for delegates in Ohio s likely to take. | A number of Republican members of | Congress who went the limit to try to | prevent Secretary Hoover from enter- |ing the Ohjo primary will run a chance of being left “out on a limb"” if the Hoover sentiment should sweep the State in the primaries. Gen. Bpeaks of the Columbus district, for instance, gave out a strong state- ment against the Hoover proposition {11 Hoover should carry the district, as {indeed he may, it might result in the i @efeat of the general for nomination {In fact, Col.

This is sought as part of the Senate rules because of a fear that the De- partment of Justice might not always be willing to prosecute members of the same political faith engaged in lobby- ing. and that by having lobbyists amen- able to Senate rules it will be possible at all times to bring by publicity the at- tention of the country to the lobbying done and penalties imposed. Sees Party Split. The Montana Senator’s charge about lobbying did not go unnoticed, as Sena- tor George of Georgia, Democrat, asked his colleague to give Senators credit for being able to withstand the lobby. Mr. Walsh is particularly bitter over the “lobbying” because normally the mem- bers of the Democratic party and the insurgent group stick together whenever any investigations are proposed. The desertion by several Democratic Sena- tors who are opposing the adoption of the Walsh resolution for an investiga- tion of the power industry by a Senate committee is the talk of Capitol Hill to- day. The Senators themselves are not being charged with wrongdoing, but the e.istence of an intense pressure from local lieutenants is said to be respon- sible for the change in the tide, which a few weeks ago was running entirely with the Montana Senator. The big vote is to come on whether the inquiry on the power industry is to be referred to the Federal Trade Commission or whether it is to be conducted by the Senate. Favor Trade Board. | The utility industry feels that it will | | receive fairer treatment by the Fed- | eral Trade Commission, and this in | spite of the fact that the recent report lof the commission has severely criti- cized the States for failure to regulate effectively the issuance of securities. | Mr. Walsh claims that if the reso- | lution goes to the Federal Trade Com- { mission it will be buried and reports will not be available this year. Senator George has offered to amend his resolu- | tion requiring the commission to report | monthly, but what the Montana Sena- {tor wants is the power to Cross-ex- | amine utility executives. | Also wrapped up in his resolution is another attempt to find out how cam- paign funds are handled in various States and an effort to get at some of the things disclosed by the Reed spe- cial committee in the Illinofs senatorial primary. The vote on the resolution is going to be close, as the friends of the power industry who will vote to send the reso- lution to the Federal Trade Commission are about as numerous as those who want a special committee appointed. Vice President Dawes has asked to be relieved of the necessity of appointing such a committee, as he has some util- ity holdings and the Senate would be asked to elect the committee if the resolution is adopted. Should it be de- feated, it is believed that an investi- gation of the lobby will be asked for in another resolution which might also cover contributions to political cam- paigns on the part of public utilities. —_—— Col.

MASCHKE LEAVES WILLIS. | CLEVELAND, February 14 (#)— Maurice Maschke, Republican national committeeman for Ohio, today threw his support definitely to Herbert Hoover as the party's candidate for President. “The Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) party organization almost to a unit be- lieves Hoover the strongest man the Re- publicans can select for the presidential nomination,” Maschke declared. “Personally, 1 believe his nomination would most likely carry the party to victory here this coming Fall, so I am | {going to support the Hoover candi- | dacy.” | Maschke's statement set at rest con- | | jecture as to whether he would align himself with Hoover or Senator Frank B Willis in the impending fight for the Ohio delegation to the national con- ventlon.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW York, February 14.—The Amer- ican moving picture industry has a quiet little embassy of its own at Was!ungton, exchanging almost daily diplomatic amenities with foreign ambassadors to America. This was disclosed here with the news that the British ministry of labor had forbidden Miss Alden Gay, American actress, to open in a play in London. This followed other disquiet- ing dispatches, telling of the increasng official, but not public, opposition to erl'm*ricm) films and plays in other coun- os. ‘Three years ago, 21 per cent of Amer- ican-made films were sold in foreign countries. Last year about 50 per cent were sold abroad. Since the investment bankers began backing the movies, in- vested capital has been incrasingly sen- sitive and alert, and now ths movies are finding new uses for the morning coat and spats, hitherto worn only on the lot. Caricature Is Banned. Any seasoned movie fan will recall the caricature of the Englishman. ridic- ulous in speech and mannerisms, the loutish German, the Machiavellian Ttal- ian and the dilettante Frenchman. All this is absolutely and positively out. And to make sure that it is out, lead- ing producing concerns co-operate with foreign ambassadors, with scissors at hand, ready to snip out any bit of ac- tion, characterization or dialogue which might be offensive. Some of the companies have repre- sentatives at Washington, who thus function as ambassadors to ambas- sadors. It is well known that any one who remains in the moving picture in- dustry long enough to get a good job is a first-class diplomat, so there is no lack of skilled co-operators. Others send men from New York or Holly woed on special occasions. As a re- sult, the moving picture industry is in intimate touch with foreign legations, and it is said that it has profited vast- ly by the ambassadors’ suggestions as to what would pleace their country- men—and particularly as to what would displease them. Occasionally the ambassador is taken to a “flash” room and shown the pic- ture before its public display. At other times he is merely consulted in the in- terest of an accurate, and, of cour<e, inoffensive, presentation of scenes and subjects involving his country. This regard for the international cash regis- ter has brought steadily increasing for- eign sales, and last vear films sold abroad brought the industry something over $50.000.000. Co-operation Pushed. “This co-operation with representatives | of foreign countries has been encour- aged by individuals and organizations working for better films. The National Board of Review, not legally empowered to censor films, but whose findings arc accepted in some States as censorship, definitely favors such understandings before films are produced. On its own account it is now working up a plan by which foreign students at the inter- national house of Columbia University would co-operate with producers in casting foreign scenes or characters. | Britain’s ostensible reason for batring Miss Gay was that “immigrants are not | allowed to take jobs that English labor | could fill” There is now enough un- ! employment in England to make this | appear an adequate reason. but it comes at a time of increasing opposition to American plays. films, actors and music | both in Great Britain and France. The | British Parliament has just passed bill. to become effective April 1, by | which any person booking films must | handle British films to a total of 7!: per cent of their entire offering for a | year following.

In some instances suggestions for editing the films have been followed, it was sald, but not in all cases. It was stated at the French embassy that only minor changes have been made in several fllms submitted in ad- vance to the embassy, while in some instance more important criticisms of the films have been disregarded. The good intentions of the moving picture companies seem to be generally taken for granted by embassy officials. One attache remarked, however, that the spirit of friendship between the United States and forelgn countries would be improved if some of the fundamental points of view of American film drama makers were changed, rather than al- terations made of a minor character not touching the real objections of embassy officials to the films. KENTUCKIANS SPLIT ON SMITH LEADERS Louisville Club Stages Fac- tional Fight Over Elec- tion of Officers. By the Associated Press. e LOUISVILLE, February 14.—An “Al Smith for President Club” organization meeting here last night brought a large number of Democrats together and brought also a bitter factional fight for control of party organization in Louis- ville and Jefferson County. As a re- sult, Gov. Smith of New York is of- fered his choice of support by either or both of two local “Smith for President"” clubs. “Hurrah for Al Smith!" the Demo- crats shouted last night and then dis- agreement arose.

The Senate is expected to continue debate this afternoon on the Walsh res- olution for a Senate inquiry into the financial affairs of public utility com- panies throughout the country, with op- ponents contending such an inquiry should be made by the Federal Trade Commission. With the line-up admittedly close, both those advocating and opposing the resolution took comfort from some of the developments of yesterday. which included a long address by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, in favor of his measure and in which the “power lobby* was assailed. Immediately after the resolution was called up, Vice President Dawes, who was presiding, asked Senator Walsh to change his resolution so that he. Dawes, would be gelieved of the task of appointing the special committee of five which would conduct the inquiry. “I am interested in some public util- | ities companies,” the Vice President said. “I have no desire to evade my | responsibilities. but I prefer for this| reason that some other provision be | made for selection of the committee.” | Senate Will Choose. Acquiescing in the suggestion, the | Montanan amended his resolution to call for the election of the special com- mittee by the Senate itself. This change was agreeable to opponents of a Senate inquiry, as they belleved it strengthened their hand. i Senator George, Democrat, Georgia. sponsor of an amendment to have the | inquiry conducted by the Federal Trade Commission, announced that he also would change his proposal so as to re- | quire monthly reports from the com- mission during the progress of the in- ! vestigation, with a final report upon its conclusion. Proponents of the George plan be- lieved this might bring support to it, as one of the several objections urged against the commission investigation was that it would require many months and would be unattended by the pub- licity which would come to a Senate inquiry. Reviewing amendments made to his resolution by the interstate commerce committee, Senator Walsh said he | would ask for a separate vote on the one limiting the inquiry into campaign contributions by the utilities to those made in presidential and congressional campaigns. 1 Seeks State Check. The author of the resolution declared that the primary purpose was to ascer- | tain what influence, if any, the util-| ities wield over State and munic:pal | regulatory bodies and that he wanted | the resolution amended <o that such an | inquiry should be made.

Senator Walsh gave in detail the interests rep- resented there, including State commis- sions, the joint utilities committee. in- vestment bankers and the National As- sociation of Manufacturers. Senator Walsh took the position that the Federal Trade Commission had nd power to make the investigation be- cause of a rider to an appropriation bill preventing the use of its funds for the conduct of investigations ordered by _a single branch of Congress. Besides challenging the power of the tor Walsh assailed some of its mem- bers. He called attention that Abraham P. Myers’ work as an assistant attorney general in the Ward Baking dissolution case had been the subject of inquiry by a Senate judiciary committee. Assails Chairman. The Montanan also attacked William E. Humphreys, chairman of the com- mission. In that connection he said he was surprised that the suggestion for a commission inquiry should have come ber. In a heated reply to the Montana Senator, Senator George demanded that Senator Walsh “be to all of us here the same courage to withstand the seductive influences of the lobbyists.” Defending his proposal for an inquiry by the trade commission. Senator George said his move “contemplates a fair, calm, dispassionate study of great business of our country.” “It is passing strange,” he said. “t the Senator from Montana has so faith in the Federal Trade Commiss when he offered as the most pertinent testimony from this same commission “What's this I hear about a new ciga- rette?’’ says one smoker. “That's not news —there’ll always be new cigarettes,” says the other smoker.
