...obvious from the amount of comment lately aroused by the various dramatic disquisitions upon morality that some sort of censorship was inevitable. Therefore those whose daily bread is cut and buttered in theatrical box offices wished the censorship to assume least offensive form. No Blue Law Committees for them or salaried censors whose efficiency might be measured by the number of plays they purged. Citizens, they demanded, plain citizens who support the Theatre.

It was on the understanding that Great Britain and the United States would protect her from Germany, that France consented to less stringent terms than she would otherwise have demanded. America, by refusing to ratify the League of Nations, and England, by exerting her policy of self-interest and balance of power, have both played her false, and when she cannot trust her allies, we cannot expect her to trust her enemy. With the very existence of the nation at stake...
