LONDON, July 10th. Urgent action by all the Christian Churches is needed if the morals of the young are to be safeguarded ngainst the "corrupting influences" of the films, stage plays, novels, and much of the periodical literature, according to a warning sounded by Katharine Tynan, a novelist, who is a Catholic.

Insidious-corruption has been going on since the war," declares Mrs. Typan in a widely published "The sense of moral open letter. value has been blunted not only in the young but in their elders who should protect them.

"It needed to be a clear-cut issue. If one took pleasure in evil, one did it with one's eyes open. But of young people who have seen au evil play, rend an evil bobk, looked at an evil lm, and turned easily to their prayers afterwards. It is a spreading sickness, and when the process is complete the mind is un- aware of its own sickness.

Despite the very considerable degree of intelligence and common sense possessed by many individuals in Alm studios, the united intelli- gence shown by a body of film makers is often extraordinarily pall. Only stupidity can explain the ludicrous fashion for pairing off film actors and actresses with each other simply because the two of them have appeared in one success ful picture together.
