Wemorial Day
Speech Shows He Believes Bur-

-——Local Governments Not Doing Duty He
Declares—Hit at Centralized Government
By DAVID LAWRENCE
Special Correspondent

(Copyright. 1925)
WASHINGTON. June 2.——lzrosl-
'nt "Coolidge feels that state gov-
anniellt in the United States has
dollen‘down and that-the popular
«complaint. of federal encroachment
‘53 ‘Itate powers is due to the neg-
bot of the several states to "dis
use their full duties."
This thought expressed in the
, emorlal day speech is the first
" unter offensive delivered by the
‘ resident against .the outcry of
.entralized power as developed
Wm respect to the eighteenth
deent on prohibition and
tbpr proposed amendments to tho
" oral constitution relating to child
flier and kindred questions usually
regarded as a. function of the state.
Mrs-«Coolidge gave much thought
,tlis preparation of his speech,
king an occasion to make clear
his views about the relationship of
or federal government to the
. ten. He did not refer specifically
to the number of instances in re-
cent years in which governors and
mayors had been impeached or re-
mi'ived for irregularities in ofilce
but to the general attitude of the
gates in leaning on the federal
overnment in important prob-
lotus.
it"W'hat we need." said Mr. Cool-
idge. “is not more federal govern-
fiiont but better local government——
iret many people who would agree
with this have large responsibility
flbr the lapses of. local authority."
"Ville President did not hesitate to
ideal] that originally prohibition
if.“ within the jurisdiction of the
States and that rigid lawe were
~iflopted to stop the traffic in intox-
, ‘i‘dants but that “other states did not
' ¢ogoperate in advancing this policy
the ultimately by national action it
Was‘cxtended to all the Union."
1‘ Mr‘Coolldge deplored also the
tendency to ask the federal govern-
‘ merit; to appropriate half for road-
ways and other projects it ‘the
states supply the otller half. He
Called it “national doles." It’s a
‘ policy he has deprecated from the
very beginning of his administra-
til‘ln. Tho President, however. did
get confine himself to these rela-
‘tionships alone but to problems not
now within the federal jurisdiction
but upon which federal n id is
sought. He argued for instance
that this could hardly be “a land of
‘ equal opportunity" so long as “some
. can go to a. distant state for di-
vorces which others are denied at
.home" and when some states
“grant valuable exemptions from
taxation which other states this
pose.“
~ The President did not approach
the subject as a wholly academic
matter. It is true he was trying to
Ihow how the responsibilities of the
states and the federal government
Were distributed and how it was in-
conceivable that there should arise
. again as in the Civil War a contest
‘ betWeen ,the sovereignty of the
‘ states and the federal union. But
‘ Mr. Coolidge went deeper than the
‘QUestion of sovereignty, pointing to
the need of a better attitude by the
éémmunltles themselves toward law
e‘nforcement.
”‘There is no use disguising the
t." said Mr. Coolidge, “that as e.
_ation our attitude toward the pre-
fiention and punishment of crime
needs serious attention. I read the
other day a. survey which showed
that in proportion to population we
“ave eight times as many murders
Great Britain, five times as many
in France. Murder rarely goes un-
fidhished in Britain or \ France:
era the reverse is true."
The President was trying to show
in this connection that the attitude
bfjsome states and communities to-
, d- the enforcement of the prohi-
bition laws was leading to a general
laxity. He said: _
“The police force'which is admin-
istered on the assumption that the
ill ation of some laws may be ig-

‘ The speech of the President will

recent tendencies in state and na-
tional government and is llir. Cool—
ldgo's answer to the outcry of "back

THE EERMANS
BERLIN. .‘iune 2.—(AP). There is
a good fight on. in the motion pic-
ture .world. for Germany as a film
market. America leads in the con-
test at present. but English as well
‘as German producers are showing
determination not to let this situa~
tlon last indefinitely. German film
producers perceive the rich home
market and are 'endcavorlng to
make it theirs.
Germany is regarded as the bes’t
potential picture market in the
world outside of the United States,
and literate population; it has many
good sized cities: it has plenty of
oxcellent,theatres and concert halls
readily convertible into movie hous-
es. and nearby are Czecho-slovakla.
Poland. Danzlg andeustrla. all with
populations demanding fiilns cap,-
tioned in the German language.
Fortunes have been sunk in Eng-
land. ]taly, Germany and Sweden in
the picture business. Bankers have
backed producers heavily, hilt most
of the producers who started out so
bravely several years ago have les-
sened their capitalization and drawn
into their shells. Massive films
which were supposed to be.cqua.l to
American productions have failed to
catch on. The producers worked
with a national rather than an inter-
national point of view. and found
that even if their films went in their
home country, they were not a suc-
cess abroad.
America. was the market they
were all pitching for. It is worth
more than all the rest of the world
to picture producers. But the Am-
ericans refused to look at most of
the European films offered to them.
and did not find funny the comics
made in Europe.
The press of most European coun-
tries contlnues to decry American
films on the ground that they are
silly. sentimental and inartlstlc. But
the mdvillg picture house owners
find all their seats filled when Am-
erican stars are on the 'bill. and ill
most cases the pocketbook comes
before national spirit.
