CANNOT GO ID IRELAND MURPHY vISUALIzES WAR
State Department Refuses to Amend Archdeacon's
 Passport.

Paris, Aug 12-Because the Sta te Department at Washington has re- fused to amend his passport so as to enable him to visit Ireland. John Archdeacon Murphy of Buffalo, head of the American Commission for Irish Independence, now here, will return to the United States soon.
 In a statement MT. MurAhy planes the State Department for "p1aying g into the hands of Great Britain by all lowing a foreign power to dictate to it." He says 1t Is because England fears the new Walsh-Dunne report that she refuses to permit citizens of the United States to visit Ireland. and the State Department weakly obeyed''
 MT. Murphy adds:
 England either is at war with Ire land or she isn't. This refusal tndi- cates beyond doubt that a state of war exists. She can't afford to bear an investigation of her barbarous this tirne.'
 After remarking that the exposure in the walsh-Dunne report caused England to tighten the passport cen sorship restrictions. the statement concludes:
 ''In order to punish those whom she thinks guilty for the Walsh Dunne report more than e<er before she is ruttlessly arresting and jailing respecta b1e Irishmen and women. subjecting them to prison brutalities and terrorizing Irish towns with

BRITISH BUILD
 CHEAP AUTO TO
 MEET U. S.. TRADE

A large British engineering com pany has announced its entry into the field of motor car production with a model which is openly regarded as an attempt to meet American competi- ton. The company hopes to put 2O,- 600 cars on the market the first year. This car is of the 1920 horse power. five passenger type and Is to sell at approximately s1,5OO.
 There is no guarantee that the mak- CTS of this car will be successful in putting it on the market in the quan- tity necessary to make the price pos sible, nor that it will prove satisfac- tory in service. Only one car has been built for testing purposes. It has been run almost 30,0OO miles and is re- ported to have given a thoroughly sat isfactory performance.
 Information from leading AmerI- can motor car manufacturers leads the National Foreign Trade Council to believe that the manufacture of this car at the price indicated is extremely doubtful. Increased costs of coal, steel, labor, etc, now render it un- likely that such a motor can be pro- at which price it will not compete seriously with low-priced American cars. even considering the British inn port duties of 33 1-3 per cent. So far as countries other tha England are concerned, 1t is even more certain that this car will be unable to m eet American competition. and that such markets South America and South Africa will turn more and more to the United States for moderate-pric- ed motor cars.

 TO FEEL EFFECT
Soft Drink Bars Do Not Make Money, Hence the
 Increase in Rents.

New York, Aug 12.---The Associa- ton Opposed to National Prohibi- tions, in e statement issued says pro hfbition has caused hotel rates to be increased from s1 to s7 per guest per day, and will cost the public approx 3mately 500 coO. coo during the next year. IL eays an investigation shows that har5ly a section of the country escaped the increase of rates since July 1. and that further advances are contemplated my many hotel proprie- tors.
 Edward T1erney, a vice president of the Bowman Hotel Company and managing director of the Hotel An sonia, is quoted as follows:
 There are three sources of hotel Uyvenues, the room, the bar and the restaurant. No money can be made from the restaursnt. Therefore. if one of the two sources of actual prof [ he taken away, then the other source must make up the difference. There fore. room rates must be increasei"
 Statements from hotel men in all sections of the country were cited to prove that Prohibition is sending up the cost of living. Ohio hotels tried to make up the deficiency by replac- ing the bars with soft drink counters and cafeterias, but failed, and raised rates IF per cent.
 Jeonard II. Maoszs of Ch1ca go. pres idert of the gree:ers of America, an association of hotel clerks. told the investigators that the average hotel has not made more than 6 to 10 per cent. gross income for a long time and that the average net income from 3 to 6 per cent. has been reduced by Prohibition. He said further advances Of room rates may come.
 The tourist trade in California may be adversely affected by the higher rates forced by Prohibition. accordins Co John F. Shea, secretary of the Cal fornia Hotel Association.
 The report ends as follows:
 Much has been written of late about soft drink bars and the profit to be derived therefrom, but the con- sistent advances in hotel rates shows that the hotel business of the country ---value1 at more than $1OO00. 900, 600 ---has not found them as profitable as the old style bars, even in sections where, through a long dry period, they have found time to experiment with highly systematized soft drink parlors. roof gardens. cafeterias anal old style bars minus the kick"
