LIQUOR MEN APPEAL,
 TO COURTS FOR AID
P. s. McMahon Explains Position Inf Liquor Interests in Reference to Wartime Prohibition.

lAquOF Interests In Reference to
 Wartime Prohibition
 P. S. McMahon, proprietor of the Hotel Bronson, and one of the meno - bers of the New Britain Liquor Deal ers' association, said today that the liquor dealers and those employed bv them in this state, Rhode Island and New Jersey number about 10000. He said that the attorneys for these inter ests hold the opinion that the war time conditions under which wartime prohibition was enacted have ceased to exist. Furthermore these lawyers hold that since the commander in chief of the American forces-the resident-has recommended the lift ing of this ban it has not been done because of political differences.
 Now, MT. McMahon said the liuuor interests intend to appeal to the courts, as all law abiding people should, in an attempt to have the ban lifted and their jobs protected.
 AS 8 similar instance, Mr. McMahon points to the ban on lumber that was imposed during the war stress, which has been lifted since the crisis passed If it had not been lifted the carpen- ters and builders would be unable to pursue their work but it has been lift ed and they are now busy The li quor men take the same attitude and are appealing to the courts for protec- tiOn.

To approach work of history in the

"PatriotiC Drama
in Your Own Town"
By BARRETT H. CLARK.

I Is gratifying to see that the amateur
L plays and paScapts now being writ
ten are FAR different from the run Of pro-
fessional war plays. Through the greater
part of them runs a deeply patriotic
theme of scryire, not of hate; of construc
tive ideals and not of destructive prcJu-
dice. Earlier in the year the Drama
League Of America organized patriotic
play contest, among the rules and rcgula-
tons of which was a clause calling upon
contestants TO preach the doctrine of pa
triutic service; no "war plays" were
wanted, no hate propaganda would be
considered The result was gratifying.
II now becomes clear chat the theatre,
and particularly the amateur theatre, III
schools, churches and elsewhere in the
community, is 10 play a distinct part dur
ing the Reconstruction period" Amer
canizAtion through the drama is n big
idea. and i GOOD part Of the work will
fall to conscientious amatcurs.
Fortunately number Of the plays al
ready written arc suited to after war
work, for they WE'RE written with the idea
of bringing the disparatn elements Ill
America closer together. This was neces-
sary To bring the war To 4 successful con-
ciusion, and il is now more than ever nee
e,usry TO bring the peace to 4 similar end.
A large number OF patriotic plays and
pageants are now on the lists of American
publishers, and it is interesting to note
that the sale Of these has been rather in
creased than otherwise by the signing Of

Jcfrrrson's phrase, ''to throw away the
scabbard-"
Again We are reminded by the CORE
spondence between President Monroe and
Jefferson and Madison III the autumn Of
1923. how ready the three Fathers were
to consider III alliance with Great Britain
against what Jefferson styled ''the equally
iawless alliance, calling itself holy" This
episode resulted eventually III the formula
ton of the Monroe Doctrine. But does
not the apparent willingness Of this great
trio of American statesmen 10 enter into
an "entlngiing alliance" with England
rather cut the ground out from beneath
the feet Of thosd who protest against such
a course to-dayf
In fact we believe that an alliance with
Great Britain would not only be looked
upon with favor by most Americans to-
day but would also be regarded as the
greatest safeguard against war that VIC
could have. 1t is one of the happiest
memories awakened by Prof. l4atane to
be reminded Of the fact that Bismarck
once called the Monroe Doctrine ian in

The sun., 1919-02-02

In truth it appears TO tins reporter that
the author of tins very brilliant LITTLE study
OF our foreign policy approached his task
in the spirit Of Whimsy That is 10 say,
he purposed TO make ridiculous much Of
the solemn vaporing rising up TO the
heavens these days against our participa-
ton in foreign affairs by showing to what
an extraordinary extent We have taken
part in foreign affairs since the Ameri-
can colonies deliberately sought" for
eign alliance with the French in 1778.
Prof. Latane divides his review proper
into nine chapters with an additional one
devoted to The War aims Of the United
States. This is too familiar ground TO
drill upon, rather is it in the mn Or part
of the text that the reader Will find his
chief reward. Here is traced the Origin
Of the Policy Of Isolation, the Formula
ton Of tho Monroe Doctrine, The Monroe
Doctrine a,s1 the EuropeaH Balance Of
Pouer, international Cooperation With
out the Sanction Of Force, The Open Door
Policy, Angto-An,ericdn Relations, I'M
perdlistic Tendencies Of the Monroe Doc
trfne, The NeU Pdit4mericdnisn, and The
End Of Neutrality and Isolation.
1t would appear that the very title Of
our authors last named chapter negatived
all that had gone before. But, based on
the Presidents address to The Senate of
january %, 1917, Prof. Laiane shows
that ''the abandonment of isolation does
not mean that we propose "tO abandon
the great principles for which We have as
a nation stood, but rather to extend them
and give them a worldwide application
Not the least of the qualifications af-
forded by this review of our foreign policy
is to be reminded afreSh of how many of
the great principles Of International law
were born of the American fathers. Thus,
when Jefferson wrote Of our treaty obi
CATIONS with France, "the Treaties be-
tween the United States and France were
not treaties between the United States and
Louis Capet, but between the two nations
of America and France, and the nations
remaining in existence, tho both of them
have since changed their forms of gov
eminent, the treaties are not annulled
by these changes he established "a prin-
ciplc which is now one of the fundamen-
tai doctrines of International law We
are reminded of how, SO soon after Wash
ington's farewell address as Jefferson's
Presidency, Monroe was sent to Paris to

Two of the most interesting and in
struetive chapters here, and the ones rich
est in reward for readers with open minds,
are those devoted to The H0nros Doctrine
and the European Balance Of Posrsr and
International Cooperate" Without the
Sanction of Force.
In the first of these the writer touches
on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the
Macmillan episode IN Mexico together
with the Venezuela incident, showing how
European affairs>unconsciously interfered
in behalf of the Monroe Doctrine. In the
second chapter mentioned We read OF the
slavery question as It affected our rela-
tions with England. the establishment of
Liberia and our unofficial participation in
the affairs Of the Congo and in the Al
geciras conference where we swayed the
balance of power against Germany In "a
vor of our ally, France.
In addition to its other tonic qualities
we feel that this admirable review has a
special one for all Americans who read
contemporary historical works and who
have a deep seated admiration OF and
friendship for England.
