...remarkable change of tone and import from Hawthorne's to Seastrom's Scarlet Letter can be traced in the distance between Seastrom's and Griffith's drama. One notices it first in Gish's acting.

U.S. and Japanese negotiators are dickering in Geneva over voluntary quotas for Japanese mills. The U.S. has made it plain to Tokyo that a protectionist-minded Congress might well adopt even harsher measures unless Japan agrees to limit its textile exports...
