Commander Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (later president of Finland) was born in Finland when it was part of Imperial Russia. Mannerheim spent 30 years as soldier and friend to Tsar Nicholas II, serving in the Russo-Japanese war and WW1. He was even appointed the unique role of Chevalier Guard to the Emperor during his coronation. When revolution struck, Mannerheim and his White Army defended his native Finland from the bolsheviks. Two decades later, he would again fight off the red invaders in the Finnish Winter War and Continuation War. Mannerheim never forgot his friend Nicholas, and always kept his portrait for the remainder of his years. When asked why a Finnish leader has a picture of a Tsar displayed, he would simply answer "He was my Emperor".

H.P. Lovecraft's Contempt Towards Americans Disrespecting Their English Heritage Favoring Foreigners and their Country's Interest

"The greatest foe to rational Americanism is that dislike for our parent nation which holds sway amongst the ignorant and bigoted, and which is kept alive largely by certain elements of the population who seem to consider the sentiments of Southern and Western Ireland more important than those of the United States. In spite of the plain fact that a separate Ireland would weaken civilisation and menace the world’s peace by introducing a hostile and undependable wedge betwixt the two major parts of Saxondom, these irresponsible elements continue to encourage rebellion in the Green Isle; and in so doing tend to place this nation in a distressingly anomalous position as an abettor of crime and sedition against the Mother Land..."– H.P. Lovecraft, Americanism (July 1919)

The Motion Picture Production Code was a set of industry guidelines for the self-censorship of content that was applied to most motion pictures released by major studios in the United States from 1934 to 1968. It is also popularly known as the Hays Code, after Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) from 1922 to 1945.
In the 1920s, Hollywood was rocked by a number of notorious scandals, such as the murder of William Desmond Taylor and the alleged rape of Virginia Rappe by popular movie star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, which brought widespread condemnation from religious, civic and political organizations. Many felt that the film industry had always been morally questionable, and political pressure was increasing, with legislators in 37 states introducing almost one hundred film censorship bills in 1921.

In 1927, Hays suggested to studio executives that they form a committee to discuss film censorship. Irving G. Thalberg of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sol Wurtzel of Fox Film Corporation, and E. H. Allen of Paramount Pictures responded by collaborating on a list they called the "Don'ts and Be Carefuls" based on items that were challenged by local censor boards.
The production code enumerated three "General Principles":
1) No picture shall be produced that will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin.
2) Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented.
3) Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation.
In 1915, the Supreme Court had decided unanimously in Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio that free speech did not extend to motion pictures.
