DELETION OF FILM
Ohio Censors Purported to
Have Acted on “Anti
Nazi” Grounds.
By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. October 26 —
Sharply varying opinions followed dis
closure today that the Ohio Censor
Board had deleted part of a newsreel,
•‘March of Time,” on the purported
ground that it was “anti-Nazi.”
Ohio’s chief censor, E. L. Bowsher,
said only a small portion of the film
was cut and that it was “irrelevant.”
Ben Z. Neustadt, Jewish editor,
voiced objection to the censorship.
“I felt,” he said, "the true facts, or
those that come uncensored out of
Germany, should be told.”
Sought to Depict Progress.
“The purpose of the film.” said
Bowsher. State director of education,
“was to depict the progress of the
Jews in Palestine. A small portion
dealing with Nazi activities in Ger
many was incidental and had no bear
ing on the picture.
“The censored part dealt chiefly
with gruesome detail that might result
In race feeling."
In New York, editors of the maga
eine Time said there was no "valid
reason” for the deletion.
In a statement they said: “The
•March of Time’ narrative dealt with
the colonization of Palestine by the
Jews. In giving its audience proper
background to appreciate this im
portant world movement, the editors
Included scenes of Nazi anti-Jewish
activity—activity largely responsible
for the migration of Jews from Ger
many to Palestine.
Three Agreed to Cut.
“It was this sequence with which
the censors took issue, particularly
with the statement made by the edi
tors that ‘Hitler had brought more evil
on the Jews than any man of this
generation. * *
Neustadt was a member of a com
mittee of four Jewish citizens here
who reviewed the film last Wednesday.
The other three agreed to the elimi
nation.
Bowsher was unable to say just
how much of the film was cut. but
he insisted it was "only a small,
Irrelevant portion.”
Neustadt placed the length at be
tween 70 and 80 feet. At Cleveland
a representative of the R-K-O Dis
tributing Corp. said the censors
forced them to cut 150 feet of the
film on the ground that it was "antl
Nafl.”
FORCED TO Cl’T 150 FEET.
R-K-O Man Says Ohio Censors
Ordered Deletion.
CLEVELAND, October 26 .—A
representative of the R-K-O Distrib
uting Corp. asserted today the Ohio
Board of Motion Picture Censors
forced them to cut 150 feet of film
from the current issue of the news
reel, “The March of Time,” on the
grounds that it was “anti-Nazi.”
The portions cut, the R-K-O man
said, showed members of the Nazi
party in Germany burning books by
Jewish authors and other Nazis
chasing groups of Jews through the
streets of German cities.
The cuts were made in an episode
entitled “The New Palestine,” in
which the editors of the news reel
had sought to show some of the causes
of the Jewish migration to Palestine.
Under the orders of the Ohio cen
sors, none of the parts forbidden may
be shown in any theater in this State.

This Changing World
America Finds "Key to European Situation” in
Own Pocket on Navy Issue.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
HE famous "key to the Euro
pean situation” is changing
pockets rapidly.
At first it was in Italy’s
hands; then it went into the many
hands of the members of the League
of Nations; Germany held it for a
little while and finally it was passed
on to the United States.
* * * *
It depends on this country, says
London, whether the dangerous naval
sanctions will be applied against Italy
London realizes, of course, that the
action of the American Government
is strictly limited by the neutrality
act.
President Roosevelt went as far as
he could, within the framework of
that act to help the cause of peace
in Europe. Since Congress did not
permit him to apply an embargo on
the aggressor nation he urged Amer
ica's business men to refrain from
trading with the belligerents—that
means with Italy, since there is prac
tically no trade between this country
and Ethiopia.
* * * *
But what the British want this
Government to do, is to express its
willingness to support the action of
the League. Of course, this cannot
be done blunty. but the President or
the State Department can put the
reply to the latest communication
of the League of Nations in such a
way as to leave no doubt in the mind
of Mussolini that this country will
do its utmost to cripple Italy's trade
with the United States.
Such a moral support would be
extremely valuable to the British gov
ernment and would serve a twofold
purpose: It might worry Mussolini
and make him more malleable and
would bolster up British public opin
ion. The main question raised by
previous British governments in dis
cussing the possibility of applying
naval sanctions against an offender
of the League has always been “What
W'ill the United States, with its tra
ditional freedom-of-the-seas policy, do
if the British Navy were asked to
police the seas?”
If the British can be assured that
this country will not challenge Brit
ain’s mission to enforce an economic
boycott on a League offender, one of
the main worries of Downing street
and Whitehall would be removed.
Italy realizes this fully. And for this
reason Italian diplomats in Rome have
hinted to our Ambassador there that
it seems to them inconsistent with the
peace ideal of the American Nation
to encourage a blockade which, Mus
solini says, will inevitably lead to a
catastrophic war.
The key to the whole situation, Eu
rope admits, is in the pocket of the
VANDENBERG SEES
STRICT NEUTRALITY
Michigan Senator Predicts Con
gress Will Enact Tighter
Law Next January.
By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 26.—Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, declaring “this matter of
possible war Is resting on the Amer
ican conscience like a dead weight,”
predicted in an interview with the
Detroit Nfews today that Congress
would enact more stringent neutrality
legislation next January.
“Americans should be completely
prohibited from traveling on belliger
ent ships at all, except if necessary to
leave a war zone, because I do not
believe it is possible for them to travel
‘at their own risk’ ” he said.
Senator Vandenberg said a “large
group, led by Senator Borah, wanted
the mandatory rule” against traveling
on ships of belligerent nations passed
last session when the embargo of
arms shipments to belligerents was
approved and the President was given
discretionary power to warn Ameri
cans that they traveled on vessels of
warring nations at their own risk.
Concerning his views on the export
to belligerents of materials other than
"arms, ammunition and the imple
ments of war” under the ban now.
Senator Vandenberg said he believed
the trade should be on a “cash-and
carry basis.”
United States Government. If America
supports even indirectly the League,
say the British and most of the League
members. Italy will be compelled to
bow to the decisions of Geneva.
If America stands by the neutrality
act as conceived by the American Con
gress and maintains a strictly neutral
policy independent of the League ac
tions, says Mussolini. Great Britain
will accept the compromise suggested
a few days ago by 11 Duce and a world
war will be averted, temporarily, at
least.
* * * *
What the future will bring nobody
knows. But the Italians are taking no
chances and are preparing for that
catastrophic eventuality—a war with
Great Britain.
The Island of Leros in the Dode
canese has become one of Italy's main
fortresses in that region. The harbor
of that island has been closed to
all shipping. Two airplanes take off
to meet the mail boats from Piraeus
and only after a very careful inspec
tion are they allowed to proceed. A
cruiser, seven destroyers, six subma
rines and about 50 aircraft of various
types are continually patrolling Leros,
Calymnos and the neighboring islands.
The construction of roads is being
rapidly pushed and the summits of
the surrounding hills are being heav
ily fortified.
* * * *
Europe is not at war. but the classi
cal gestures of “I don't want your
dirty decoration any longer" have
already started.
Admiral Giuliano Pini, deputy chief
of staff of the Italian Navy, has just
returned his medals to the British
government. These were given him
in appreciation of his helping defend
British Somaliland against attacks by
Mullahs.
* * * *
The Germans introduced during the
last 'war the famous "Ersatz"; that
means that they wrapped hay in
tissue paper and called it cigarettes
or mixed bran with a little barley
and chicory and called it coffee.
The Italians have gone one better.
In anticipation of a blockade they
are making wool out of milk. They
say that the fibers of the by-products
of milk have a heat-giving power
equal to that of wool.
* * * *
Germany has left the League of
Nations with flags flying. She paid
on the day when her notice of with
drawal expired—October 20—the
round sum of $1,500,000, which repre
sents her total obligations and con
tributions in arrear.
The managers of the Almost-All
the-Nations Club at Geneva are very
finicky. If you don’t pay all your
dues before leaving they are likely
to get back at you some day when
you least expect it.

decided that an actual state of war
existed between Italy and Ethiopia
were dictated by some secret sym
pathy on the part of the administra
tion for one side or the other of these
involved in the crisis.
The neutrality act as passed by
Congress does not permit the Chief
Executive much latitude. Mr. Hull
made It clear to the world that
everything in the power of the ad
ministration has been done to curtail
at least the present war. He re
minded the president of the Com
mittee of Co-ordination that after
having ordered an embargo on arms
and ammunition to the belligerent
countries, President Roosevelt warned
American citizens against travelling
on belligerent ships—that is to say,
Italian—except on their own risk,
and furthermore—and this was the
most important step taken so far by
the administration—he issued a
statement "definitely warning Ameri
can citizens against transactions of
any character with either of the
belligerent nations except at their
own risk.” And to make this policy
more definite and unequivocal Mr.
Hull informed Dr. Vasconcellcxs that
"this policy with respect to trans
actions with the belligerents I now
reiterate and reaffirm."
Historical Consequences.
The communication which the
Secretary of State sent to the League
of Nations has an historical conse
quence. because it sets forth the
| following principles which will be of
! paramount importance in future
international developments:
(1) The United States is decided
more than ever to keep out of war.
(2) The United States will not
allow itself to be drawn into any
entanglements.
(3) The United States has in the
past and will insist in the future on
its own independent course in dealing
with international problems.
(4) The United States is keeping
in mind its international obligations
towards peace generally and under
the Kellogg pact.
ROME SPOKESMEN ••GRATIFIED.”
Note Held Nullification of World
Unity on Sanctions.
ROME, October 27 (Sunday (A>).—A
government spokesman said today that
Italy “cannot help but be gratified"
at Secretary Hull's reaffirmation of
United States neutrality in the Italo
Ethiopian conflict.
Well-informed circles held the ref
erence to America's willingness to aid
efforts for peace within limitations
under the Kellogg pact could not be
interpreted as directed against Italy.
Government circles welcomed the
American communication as “an in
fluence which nullifies the importance
of world solidarity” against Italy in
regard to sanctions.
GENEVA IS ENCOURAGED.
League Officials See U. S. Stand Most
to Be Expected.
GENEVA. October 27 (Sunday)
UP).—League of Nations officials, read
ing reports of the reply by the United
States to the League in which Amer
ican neutrality in the Italo-Ethiopian
dispute was reaffirmed, said today it
was the maximum to be expected
from Washington and was, on the
whole, “encouraging.”
They said that while the United
States’ attitude continued to be one
of rigid neutrality it was also one of
wishing to see war halted.
The officials asserted they regarded
the reply as important moral support
of League efforts, even though the
United States could not participate in
sanctions.

be made effective next Tuesday. It
was announced the arms embargo be
came operative yesterday and that
economic sanctions would be levied
when the League Council orders them,
probably in early November.
The government announced every
thing was now prepared for the effec
tive operation of sanctions.
A distinct feeling that many weeks
and months may elapse before peace
can be secured in Ethiopia was appar
ent in British official circles. It
brought an end to the week's bright
hopes that Premier Mussolini would
grasp the olive branch held out to him
by British statesmen. f
Britain Wants No Temporising.
Definitely branding as unacceptable
Mussolini's peace proposals, advanced
in diplomatic channels through Pre
mier Pierre Laval of France, Britain
expects no temporizing, no delays, no
weakening when the League Council
meets October 31 to put the sanctions
machinery into full operation.
The treasury said financial penal
ties would apply to the government
and residents of Italy and Italian ter
ritory and to corporations incorporated
under the laws of Italy or Italian ter
ritory. Thus, even nationals of Great
Britain who reside in Italian territory
are affected.
Business with these persons or cor
porations affected was prohibited if
it involves use of credit facilities.
Informed circles said the British
government had no mtpntion of
changing its attitude about sanctions
while the Italo-Ethiopian conflict
lasts.
Won't Accept Dictated Terms.
Further emphasizing the view that
no peace terms dictated by Mussolini
would be tolerated, these quarters 6aid
the British government felt none of
the essential factors for satisfactory
termination of the conflict had been
met yet by Mussolini.
Informed observers believe the
League will listen to peace plans when
Mussolini withdraws his troops from
Ethiopia and announces his willing
ness to work out a settlement definitely
within the framework of the proposals
of the Committee of Five, which he
rejected at Geneva some weeks ago.
No major Italian territorial annex
ation in Ethiopia was envisioned in
this plan, and it was understood the
British government adheres closelv to
the view none should be permitted.
FRENCH ACCEPTANCE LOOMS.
Paris Expected to Yield to Sanctions
Application.
PARIS, October 26 (A*).—French
acceptance of the early application of
sanctions against Italy as unavoidable
was indicafed tonight in official circles.
The government’s attitude was be
lieved in these circles to be indicated
by an official announcement branding
as "unfounded" reports that Premier
Laval intended to ask a postponement
of the application of sanctions by the
League of Nations to enable him to
continue his efforts to effect a con
ciliation of the Italo-Ethiopian dis
pute.
It was indicated that now Laval had
assured Great Britain that France
would not block the application of
these punishments. Great Britain it
self was expected in authoritative
quarters to desire League action on
the matter as soon as possible.

Marriage Also Marked With
Little Formality by
Natives.
By the Associated Press.
ADDIS ABABA—Marriage and di
vorce are simplicity Itself in Ethiopia.
Take the case of Mrs. Anthropolis’
handsome young Ethiopian cook. Mrs.
Anthropolis is the wife of a Greek
bridge builder here.
Last January the cook told her he
had Just been married and she gave
him a fine new shamma, or toga,
which is a most coveted present.
In June, in a still more joyful mood,
he announced that he had been mar
ried again and hinted that another
new shamma would be appreciated.
The change of wives, he explained,
had been expensive.
When the lady recovered from her
surprise and had been told that mar
riages and divorces are very frequent
here, she promised to give her servant
the desired present if he kept his cur
rent wife six months. Walda Giorgls
was satisfied, because he said he had
an extra fine bride and was going to
keep her a long time.
Asks Time Be Cut.
But this month (October) he again
appeared before his mistress and after
bowing low, as age-old Ethiopian gal
lantry requires, begged her to reduce
the six months period by half.
“Why?” asked Mrs. Anthropolis.
“That’s too long,” answered the son
of George, “I've been married again.”
All Ethiopians are not exactly like
this fascinating cook, with lithe body,
intelligent looking face, high forehead,
thin lips and bush hair. Some keep
their wives longer, but usually not
very long Marriages are recurrent
knd divorces easy.
There are several different kinds of
conjugal obligations. The very modest
and genial Ethiopian, who takes care
of the writer’s mules, looks like a
paragon of virtue and undoubtedly is,
but his marital Arrangements are
strange.
His wife’s village is a hundred miles
from Addis Ababa and she spends the
rainy season there looking after a few
possessions she received from her
divorced husband.
On departing this year she left her
bright, 6-year-old son with his step
father, the writer’s mule man, and
also brought a humble woman called
Tahuni. to his hut to take her place.
Bo Hapta lives with his stepson and
a hired wife during his regular wife's
temporary absence.
Must Hunt New Job.
When Miriam, the mother, returns,
which will be soon, Tahuni will have
to hunt a similar position with an
other man whose spouse happens to
be away.
Ordinarily when a boy and girl
wish to marry, they call in their
parents, elder relations and a sort of
local official. They exchange pres
ents, with the most generosity usually
coming from the groom, then eat,
drink and revel. And that's all.
They’re married.
When either party gets tired of
the other, the same witnesses are
again assembled, all the common
property is scrupulously divided into
two equal parts, and they separate.
They're divorced.
The children all belong to the
father but when young the mother
continues to look after them for which
she is paid.
Ethiopia is a land where children
are loved and neglected. And none
of them is illegitimate. A man’s child
by his female slave or servant has the
same legal standing as his child by his
wife. And he must pay for its sup
port. Yet no insult is more deadly
for an Ethiopian than to have' his
paternity questioned.
The child of a slave mother and free
father is free, as well as the child of
a slave father and free mother. All
children, male or female, may in
herit property. In cases of divorce
the children all belong td'the father.
Infant Mortality High.
Infant mortality is "ery high. Con
sequently families are small. The 10
brothers and sisters of the present
Emperor all died young. And that
was a superior family. Among com
mon people more children die than
are left.
Generally speaking, the Ethiopians

Arthur J. Sundlun, Pres.
43 YEARS at 935 F STREET
Navy Advocate Says It’s
Due When Britain Can’t
Keep Lid On,
Br the Associated Press.
William B. Shearer, big Navy ad
vocate and once the central figure of
a notable controversy, predicted yes
terday that the world is going to see
another major war.
How soon?
•‘It depends upon how long Eng
land can keep the lid on,” he said.
Withdrawn for months from the
public eye, Shearer expressed his views
in an interview in his Washington
apartment.
Target of senatorial investigators,
Shearer has been accused of break
ing up the 1927 Geneva naval con
ference while in the employ of pri
vate shipyards. He denied that, de
fending his action as patriotic. He
said he helped save the United States
from a naval limitation treaty that
j would have left her far behind Great
Britain.
■
Sees Partition of Ethiopia.
Speaking of the hostilities in Africa,
Shearer said Ethiopia will be divided
up without having a word to say
about it.
England's share, he said, will be
security for Lake Tana, headwaters
of the Blue Nile; Italy will get a por
tion of Ethiopia that will connect her
two African colonies of Eritrea and
I display little emotion. They are po
! lite and bow very low but otherwise
seem to be without feelings. Yet one
sometimes meets a mother devotedly
fondling a child and now and then a
father goes along the street holding
the hand of a little son or daughter.
Children are never carried in arms but
on the backs of their mothers or elder
sisters. Six-year-old Waletu carries
, 6-month-old Askali. Tiny black
heads bob above the dirty shammas
by means of which babies are fas
tened to their bearers' shoulders and
tiny black eyes glisten. But you must
not stare even at the prettiest child,
for that would bring it misfortune.
Only evil eyes stare and an evil eye
is fatal.
Few Go to School.
Little boys and girls are brought up
in the same way. Each wears a single
garment resembling a long, loose
shirt. Of course, the children don't
have to go to school for such institu
tions are exceedingly rare here, but
they begin work early. That is those
from working families. The upper
class Ethiopians scorn work.
Tiny girls may be seen all over the
city, carrying heavy black Jars of
water on their backs while little boys
carry guns or coats or other burdens
for second-rate aristocrats. Real
chiefs, of course, have droves of adult
followers.
Most young children, though pot
bellied, are attractive. Their faces
are round, their features fine and
regular and their eyes bright. They
are friendly and love to greet strangers
I with a military salute When saluted
in return they are elated. Now all
are playing at soldiering
Every child's hair is trimmed in a
most fantastic way, usually by means
i of old razor blades. The scalp is
shaved smooth with tufts or locks or
crests or crowns of black fuzz left
as a decoration. Most children seem
to be wearing black-crested helmets.
A ring of wooly hair is often left about
a girl's head. Sometimes a stiff bris
j tling bush mounts from the top of a
shiny little plate. Sometimes a clus
ter of long locks is left and the locks
are woven in fine braids with blue
beads at the ends. Fond mothers vie
with one another to make their chll
; dren’s heads look most original.
Somaliland. France, he said, will get
greater security for her present vast
African possessions—and a promise
from Britain of protection against
Germany.
Looking into the future, Shearer
asked these questions:
Must not England build up her
military strength to protect her
"backbone” through the Mediterran
ean, through which she is connected
with her colonies?
Germany May Arise.
