DRY FIGHT LAUNCHED IN
HOME OF JAMAICA RUM

Kingston. Jamaica, Aug 3.-War
against John Barleycorn has been
started in the home of Jamaica rum.
Two American missionaries. the van
guard of a prohibition crusade, have
lust aided in the organization of the
Jamaica League against Alcoholism
which it is said, is to affiliate with the
Worlds League against Alcoholism,
headed by the Rt. Honorables Left
Jones, the Rt. Sir Donald Mclean. III.
P; and Lord Rowallan, vice. president
One of the American missionaries
urged the mass meeting to follow the
lead of "Pussyfoot" Johnson. One OF
the chief obstacles to making Jamaica
dry is the manufacture of rum, an in
dustry which is said to net the govern
ment fully 100000 in revenue an
nually.

NO BUYERS FOR
WOODEN Ships
SHIPPING BOARD FACES PROB
LEM OF DiSPOSiNG OF 4o6 YES
Sells VARIOUS TYPES.

Washington, Aug. disposal of
more than 100000 tons of wooden
shipping-406 vessels of various types
built as a part of the governments
war time merchant marine program is
one of the most difficult problems
facing the Shipping Board Twenty
one of the craft. aggregating $4,000
deadweight tons, were offered recently,
but no buyers were found.
Only 1914 of these wooden craft are
now in operation. Seventy three are
tied up at various ports under man
aging caretakers and 139 are in stor-
age yards One hundred and seven of
those in storage" are finished hulls
while 80 are converted barges.
Officials of the board say that when
the serviceability of the wooden fleet
has been demonstrated little difficulty
will be experienced in turning it over
to private ownership at about $50 a
ton. These vessels were built in an
emergency. many of green timber, and
some of them made poor showings a
year and two years ago, but now that
they have Seasoned officers of the
board consider them practicable cargo
carriers.
Because of the bad record OF some OF
the vessels operators have condemned
them all, officials declare, whereas. the
records of those now in operation show
very creditable performances. One
wooden ship out of six round trips
across the Atlantic, at sea 500 days
and in port an equal number, was laid
up for repairs only % days.
To date 532 wooden and composite
ships, aggregating 1,s4S, $50 dead
weight tons, consisting of 322 cargo
ships. one tanker. lis finished hulls,
ten sailing craft, Sc hulls converted
into barges and 20 standard barges,
have been delivered to the board. A
total of ia of these vessels, aggregat-
ing 397,2s5 deadwe.ght tons, has been
sold and IL totaling 44,546 tons have
been lost at sea.
The total cost of the construction of
this fleet, estimated by the board at
$40 a dead weight ton, was approx
imately 1893, 900, 900. Sale of $4,000,
600. Those already sold brought about
s2S 900 900 so that if the remaining 400
in the governments possession are dis
posed of to private owners the total
loss through the wooden ship venture
would be something like s170,000,O0O.

HEAD OF AMERICAN ZION COM
MONWEALTH PROPOSES PLAN
FOR GREAT INDUSTRIAL ARMY.
Jerusalem. Aug. 3.-Ten thousand
BY CORA MOORE.

volunteers, chosen from veterans of
the world war, the Jewish Legion and
skilled worlxmen, to enlist at once for
is months service in Jewish indus
trial army in Palestine, are necessary
for the basic reconstruction work of
the Jewish National Homeland, ac-
cord.ng to Bernard A. Rosenblatt,
president OF the American Zion Com
monwealth, who is now in Palestine in
the interests of "Balfouria," the colony
of the American Zion Commonwealth.
Mr.. Rosenblatt recommends a regu-
lar army organization with a general
staff OF three which. as a Jewish In
dustria1 Commission. will supervise
the work of the Jewish labor army
in rebuilding the Holy Land.
Our biggest task, once the call is
issued for volunteers, will be in sitting
out the applicants and determining
upon. the 10000 to go" he said. They
could all be occupied in the ore task
of building houses for future immi-
grants. The army should work only
on land belonging to the Jewish nation,
lands secured from the Palestine gov
ernment from the Jewish National
Fund, the American Zion Common
wealth or other agencies of the Zionist
Organization"
In addition to the construction of
houses, he points out that such an
army would be busted in preparing
land for immediate settlement, irriga-
tion, aforestration, sanitation and en-
cheering works necessary for the &C.
velopment of industry and commerce.
The nucleus for such an industrial
army is already in Palestine in the
cooperative groups. working on the
lands of the Jewish National Fund
and In the group that is developing
'Balfouria, the first colony of the
American Zion Commonwealth he
concluded. Il am convinced after two
visits to Palestine that only through
such a huge disciplined Jewish labor
army, will be able to reconquer the
land of our forefathers."

CANADA TO RECOGNIZE
IMMIGRATION AGENCIES

ottawa, Ont, Aug. 81. A. Calder,
Minister of immigration and Colonial
ton. soon will go to Europe to reor-
ganize Canadian immigration agencies
there. it was recently annunced here.
Except for inspection of British war
veterans for land settlement and the
bringing in of domestics, little has
been done to procure new settlers from
Europe since the war began. Immi-
grants must now have $3.50 or produce
proof that they are going to work be-
fore being admitted Under the re-
organization plan especially effort will
be made to obtain farm and domestic
help, it was said.

JAPAN'S SIBERIAN
POLICY CRITICISED

Toxic, Aug. 3.-Japan's tfndefinite
handling of the Siberian problem" is
causing suspicion among the powers,
in the opinion of Marquis Shigenobu
Okuma, one of the elder statesmen.
Like Clemenceau in France, when out
of office, Okuma has the reputation of
fearlessly criticising the men who are
running the government.
In an interview Okuma said the rea-
son for, sending a Japanese army to
Siberia ldoes not seem to be clearly ur :
derstood by the majority of the people.
He added:
1.-The object of the Sino-Japanese
war and the Russo Japanese war as
well as the war with Germany were
clearly understood by the nation, who
worked to attain the ultimate goal
with full and unanimous accord. AS to
the Siberian business the Japanese
people are as much in the dark as
the troops who are fighting the boil
sheviks on the Siberian steppes."
After remarking on the withdrawal
ofsAmerican troops from Siberia, Oku-
ma insisted that if Japan finds it
necessary to maintain her troops there
the whole situation should be laid
frankly before the Powers. He went
on. What the government is doing
is not clear and is apt to create the
suspicion abroad that Japan is keep
ing her troops in Siberia for Interior
motives. Already blame is directed
against us for the military policy all
legged to be pursued by Japan in the
Russian Eastern provinces.
1T would be better" he concluded,
''for Japan to withdraw completely
from Siberia If, on the other hand,
Japan is asked by the powers to fit out
a punitive expedition against the boil
sheviks so that Eastern Siberia may
be cleared of these undesirable ele-
ments the task should be undertaken
in real earnest"

LEAGUE MEMBERS
MUST FILE ACTS
Copies of All Treaties Must Be Regis
tered in Office of Secretary.
(By Associated Press.)

London, August Sir James Eric
Drummond- Secretary General of the
League of Nations, has just notified
the members of the League of Ma
tons that an office for the registra-
ton and publication of treaties has
been set up in accordance with the
terms of the memorandum approved
by the Council of the League at it's
meeting in Rome in May. A state
ment issued from the Secretary Cen
eral says:
article Is of the Covenant of the
League of Nations reads: Every
treaty or international engagement
entered into hereafter by any member
of the League shall be forthwith reg
istered with the Secretariat and shall
as soon as possible be published by
it. No such treaty or international
engagement shall be binding until so
registered
And the Council of the League of
Nations declared in it's memorandum
of May 10, 1920: Publicity has for
long time been considered as a source
of moral strength in the administra
ton of nation law. 1t should equally
strengthen the laws and engagements
which exist between nations. 1t will
promote public control. 1t will awaken
public interest. It will remove causes
for distrust and conflict. Publicity
alone viii enable the League of Ma
tons to extend moral sanction to the
contractua1 obligations of it's mem
bers. 1t will. moreover. contribute to
the formation of a clear and indisput-
able system of international law.
"a treaty will have legal existence
after it has been presented for regis
tration by the parties concerned, to
whom a certificate of registration will
be delivered.
''In addition, in a second register
page will be reserved for each treaty.
All relevant information will be en-
tered therein. signatures and ratifca-
lions by the parties and if necessary,
subsequent accessions. or withdraw
ais.
Certified extracts from this regis
ter may be delivered to states, tri-
bunals or individuals concerned.
"The treaties will not only be regis
tered, but also published. They will
appear in a special edition of the Of
fetal Journal of the League of Ma
lions. through which they may be-
come known to all.
Moreover, the Council of the
League of Nations, actuated by the
spirit of Article Is, has authorized the
Secretary General to register and to
publish treaties concluded between
countries not members of the League,
should they request it. The League
of Nations thus hopes to realize, with
in the limits of possibility, the sys-
tenn of open International engage
ments."

Actualmente Sc esta pensando en-
extirpar todas aquellas causas que re-
tardan su progreso. Ejemplo de clio
es la manera como Sc extiende la ms
truccion por toda la isla, como Sc es-
tablece una escuela reformatoria para
los j6venes delincuentes, como Sc cons
truyen casetas para tuberculosis, Sc
abren carreteras, y mil otras activida
des dignas de encomio Y de las cuales
podria sentirse orgullosO cualquier pals
del mundo.
Es cierto que despues de sabidos es
tos hechos debemos sentirnos conten
tos, mas no satisfechos Si mucho Sc
ha hecho, queda mucho mas por hacer
Todavia nos queda una poblacion ane
mica, un cincuenta Y cuatro por Glen
to de analfabetas, un nlmero siempre
creciente de mujeres prostituidas, un re
cord alarmante de criminalidad otros
mil males que seria prolific enumerar.
Sabido es tambien que ell gobierno
esta hacienda todo 10 que puede por
remediar estos males, pero por 81 so
10 no puede hacer esta obra de recons
truccion 81 no es ayudado por ell pue
bic.
Creo que para remediar todos es
tos males que padecemos, 10 mas i'm
portante es encontrar su causa alta
carla con valor. A mi juicio, la igno-
rancia es la causa principal debe-
mos trabajar mas por extirpar esta ig
norancia. Es una verguenza para un
pals el analfabetismo y nosotros tene-
mos el cincuenta cuatro por ciento
de analfabetas. Quitemos esta mancha
de nosotros Y habremos dado I'm gran
paso hacia la realization de nuestras
mas justas aspiraciones de felicidad.
No soy professor nj estoy versado en-
asuntos de esta naturaleza, pero creo
que deberia uevarse cabo una cam
pafia en- favor de la desaparicion del
analfabetismo de la misma manera que
Sc han iniciado otras en- favor de los
tuberculosis, ell zapato escolar, etc.
Siempre he dido decir a nuestros
politicos que la suerte de Puerto Rice
esta en- manos del Congreso america
no. Con modestia me atrevo a decir q
la suerte de Puerto Rico esta en- mano'
de los portorriqueiios.

Analfabetismo contra Progreso

En- cierta ocasion pronuncio el ex
kaiser de Alemania las siguientes pa
recidas pa,abras: La pr6xima guerra
la ganara "a nacion cuyos hijos tengan
mejores musculos''.
So engafio. La guerra la ganaron
las naciones que aparte de tener solda
doa robustos, aportaron ell mayor eau
dal de ciencia en- la direction de la
misma.
Sin negar la importancia que tiene
para una nacion la condici6n fisica
de sus hijos, cabe afadir que, para q.
dicha naci6n sea grande es necesario
que tenga ell mayor ntlmero de habitan
tes capS@tados, intelectualmente. Es-
ia afrmacion la comprueba la histo-
ria.
Los pueblos que Sc llaman grandes
por la extension de sus fronteras o
por Ell poder de sus ejercitos van gene
ralmente en- pos de las conquistas ma
teriales Los pequefios estados, que no
pueden sonar con esta clase de con-
quistas, les queda sin embargo, un
mundo sin hmites que conquistar, ell
mundo de la idea, Ell mundo del dere-
cho.
Cuando Ia gran contienda interna-
cional ha cesado, cuando los pueblos
que Sc Iaman civilizados han conclui
do de ametrallarse han vuelto los ojos
hacia ST mismos y han descubierto q.
dentro de sus propios terminus Sc en-
cierran enemigos mucho mas podero-
SOS que aquellos quienes acaban de
combatir en- ell exterior. Estos enemi-
gos son, ell hambre, la embriaguez, la
prostitution, la ignorancia, enfermeda
des, etc.
La lucha entire vida muerte no
ha terminado para los pueblos. Ellos
/ saben que no es necesariamente una
| aggression de afuera quien puede hacer
les sucumbir, sin6 los enemigos inter
nos, como 10 comprueban Roma, Gre
cia y demas pueblos del pasado. POI
ESQ es que todas las fuerzas vivas de
las respectivas naciones Sc preparan
nuevamente para conquistar de una
vez para siempre estos enemigos.
Puerto Rico no es una excepci6r
de la regIa. Aqui Sc padecen todos lo'
males que azotan a los demas pueblo'
del mundo.
La unica diferencia es que Sc ha
ce mas facil la victoria por la razor
de que es un pals pequefo y adema
no hemos sentido los rigores de la gu'
