Movie Regulation To Further Peace? Editor R ecom m ends National C om m ission to Prevent False Representation Regulation of the m otion picture in dustry o£ the United States through a national commission, in order to as sure the display of films in no way 'disparaging other races religions, or nations, and giving a true picture of social conditions in the United States, was urged by Guy Emery Shipler, editor of the Churchman, New York City, at a meeting in Boston June 12 o f the National Conference of Social W ork. France, Spain, M exico, Argentina and Brazil have made inform al but oarnest protest against treatment o f th eir national customs in films pro duced in the United States, Mr. Ship ler added. The proposed commis sion would recognize the part the m otion pictures should play in the cultivation of international friendship and preservation of world peace. The commission is designed to ap prove every film released in the Uni ted States, and would replace the various, voluntary and state censor ship bodies which have grown up Collection of adequate statistics on the industry would be part o f its function. Regulation, rather than censorship, is the primary aim of the proposal. Bobby Jones Achieves Ambition Rural Tongues Wag and Hinder Attack on V.D.

Holt Says Canada Segrave Gives Life Is Forging Ahead In Mad Speed Dash DO M E N G O S S I P ? Montreal Financier Tells Daily Mail Higher Tariff Needed London-- Sir Herbert Holt, in an fntervtSw with the Daily TJIU U ,1 (tWfuSfcs that Canada is forgoing ahead at great speed. The dom inion's devel opment in the future is considerably dependent on the policy of the Gov ernment. Sir Herbert Holt says that Canada needs higher tariffs against the everincreasing value o f imports from the United States. There was no reason why British firms should not make a stronger effort to supply a vast quan tity of goods. Canada can produce sufficient for itself but needs more people. The capacity of the W est to absorb im migrants has been -reduced through the increase of labor-saving machin ery'. He had no fault to find with the young men of Canada who are eager to work.

Run Brings H onor to Britain -- Death to Noted Racer Windemere, England.-- On Friday, June 13th, M ajor Sir Henry Segrave set a new speed-boat record and gave liia life attempting to exceed it. A mechanic died with him and another was injured. `This boat ' an absolute experiment and anything m a / Jiappen," said the speed king as he started tests of his new 4,000-liorsepower " mystery" craft, Miss England II., on Lake Windemere. He made two record test runs, aver aging -elose to lOQjniles an hour, over a measured . .He course. Then he swung his white-painted boat, which the British air ministry had helped him build, back to the course again. Hundreds of spectators, including Lady Segrave, watched IreathlesSly as the racer bore across the lake, toss ing up spume on both sides and churn ing the waters in the rear. It seemed to them that this was the best trial of the day. Then suddenly they gasped as a tremendous cloud of spray envel oped the craft. Miss England dived beneath the surface, the thunder of its motors ceased, and in an instant the boat re-appeared, floating upside down with a huge hole in its bottom. Then slowly it sank, the reason for its acci dent a mystery. Segrave, thrown out by the crash, was pulled to a rescue float. Though both his arms were broken and a frac tured rib had_punctured one lung, he asked if his companions were safe. Then he lapsed into coma and died nearly three hours later. He was one o f the most famous auto mobile and motorboat speed drivers in the world, noted for his skill and daring. He already held the world automobile speed record o f 231 miles an hour, made in Florida, and shortly before the accident had set a new world m otorboat record with an aver age of 9S.7G miles an hour.
