FRANCE WILL NOT SEE
PROHIBITION FOR YEARS
(By Wilbur s. Forrest)

Wy NiipuT - L OIltStl
Omitted Press staff Correspondent. }
PARIS, March 2s. - France will
not see prohibition of alcohol for
years.
This brief explanation of one OF
the most agitated internal subjects
in France just now was made TO the
United Press today by Jean Finot
noted French writer, author and pres
ident OF the French society for ac-
tion against alcohol.
NJ. Finot predicts a long and bit
ter fight before France is placed or
the footing of prohibition. Widely
circulated reports that French legis
lative bodies would soon enact dry
France were denied by NJ. Finot.
Prohibition in France does no,
mean, as the word means in America
an absolutely dry France 1t means
the elimination of brandy, whiskey
and other sDirituous liquors which
do 50 much damage to the people OF
any country. The proverbial Ercnch
light wine viii always remain.
'fhe fight against alcohol which
the prohibition forces of France are
making has the most bitter opposi.
tion. When it is considered that over
four million people have their inter.
ests connected with the production
distribution and sale of liquor this
is not surprising.
"But France win eliminate liquor
in time, probably in about three year,
just as many America states have
done. The movement already has Z
great and growing support and il
backed by some Of Frances creates
men"
NJ. Finot's latest book, entitled
The Enemy Of the Interior" quote.
various authorities to demonstrat,
that French wounded during thu
present struggle, who were habitua
users Of alcohol, have shown re-
msrkable tendency to succumb tc
wounds which would not prove fata
to non-alcoholics.
Prohibition will be one of tn,
greatest after-the-war questions il

also objected to the students raising

WHITMAN DETERMINED
TO STOP BOXING IN \. Y

NEW YORK, March rs. - Govern
or Whitman of New York is deter
mined that before the close of this
year boxing will be kicked completely
out of New Yorak. His determine
tion he declared in recent informal
discussions, is unalterable. He is OPP
posed to the game from every angle
The unfavorable publicity the game
has received in this city, the unfav-
orable and unsavoiy bouts that have
been pulled off from time to time
Fred Wcnok's unfortunate experience
with the hot end of that 800 check
and several other things, have soured
Whitman completely.
Wenok's conduct in office was very
bad and it was the straw that broke
the governors back. He announced
that Wenok would be removed from
office and then let it be known in an
unofficial way that no one would be
appointed to replace the deposed
chairman of the boxing commission
Wenok did several things while in
office that looked bad, among them
being his feat of borrowing s400
from the manager of fighter, no
small stunt. He repaid the money
but Franklin b. Lord the governors
representative who heard the evil
dence in charges brought by Harry
i,ly Inh, ~, IL
that Wenok acted in disrespect TO the
dignity of his office in asking for
the loan.
As if this were not enough. Wenok
permitted his officed to be used on
more than one occasion as headquar-
ters for visiting managers of boxers
who were to appear in New York
rings. Not only did he do that. but
he even recommended "a hustlng
young manager of fight club" to a
former manager of Fred Fulton. who
asked regarding the stability of clubs
He also indorsed note for S2,500 to
help this manager stage a fight,
These things We're bad, they net
tied the governor and he was firmly
determined to end the game for all
time when the evidence was all in
Nothing can stop it in New York
The Frawley bill is doomed and there
is little wonder. The way promoters
and managers, not to speak of the
boxers. have treated their liberties is
enough to shame anything into hid
ing.
And in passing. it is enough to
provoke giggle to witness the fact
that in getting revenge on Wenok
for refusing license to conduct
bouts in Madison Square Garden
Harry Pollok gave a perfect imper-
sonation of the man who cut off his
nose to spite his face.
