the United States, foreign delegates
to the International Congress against
alcoholism are ready to return home
and conduct among their own peoples
drives against intoxicating liquors.
Business and scientific sessions Of
the congress were concluded Saturday.
Richmond Pearson Hobson placed
before the congress at recent ses-
sion resolutions intended to aid the
advocates of world prohibition. The
congress being unauthorized to act, re-
ferred the resolutions to the interna-
tional committee which governs Its
session.
Mr.. Hobson in his resolutions urged
the application of the "serum of edu-
cation" to the anti-prohibitiOnists of
the countries where the saloon
still holds sway. He declared that the
campaign of education employed to
bring about prohibition in the United
States was the best method for drys
in other countries to use.
Introduction Of the resolutions fol-
lowed their adoption by the executive
committee of the world prohibition
federation which met here in connec-
ton with the congress. Committees
from the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and the World League
| Against Alcoholism, Mr.. Hobson said,
also We're giving the proposals con-
sideration.
The World Federation also adopted
resolutions demanding that congress
deny citizenship rights and privileges
to "brewers and others whose business
has been outlawed in this country
if they attempt to invade foreign ter
ritory to continue their business. The
resolutions bitterly. denounced the re,
ported plans of several large brewing
and distilling interests to engage in
the brewing or distilling of intoxi'
cants elsewhere.

FEDERAL PUR-
 CHASE OF FOREST LANDS

Advocating federal acquisi- ton of cut-over timberlands on a large scale, William L. Hall, forester and timber broker, in an address before the south western section of the Society of American foresters in Albu- querque, heartily endorse the program of more public forests as the only means of assuring a future timber supply for the nation.
 For three hundred years, said the speaker, the United States and before it7the colon ies, were engaged in getting rid of public lands as rapidly as possible. In 1891 came a revo- lution of this policy, when Con- gress authorized the president to create national forests. Since then there has been an increas- ed trend of opinion in the direc. ton of federal purchase of tim berlands, one result being the Weeks law under which the government purchased 1,8OO,- 900 acres of timberland in the Appalachian and White noun tainS. ..
 The public forests of the United States s-including feder- al, state, and municipal. should be increased by about 15O mill lions, over half this area to be acquired by the states as state forests, according to MT. Hall, and there are>enormous tracts of timber that could be acouir- ed by the government with ben eft to the owner, the states, and the whole nation.
 : Without an aggressive cam paign of federal purchase of timberlands, the speaker said. the ruthless devastation of our forests will continue until they are reduced to a fraction of even their present area and America will suff from a crit ical timber famine.
