l would like to say also that dur
ing the month of August 1 took a
trip to Baltimore and also to New
York and talked with a great many
women in the crowded sections of
South Baltimore and on New York s
East side. I found they regarded
Prohibition as a God-send. Inves-
tigation shows jails and penitenti-
aries to be comparatively empty,
bread lines deserted, and the Mis-
sion Stations almost out of business.
l have hesitated to enter into a
public discussion of this matter be-
cause it has always seemed to me
that an honorable man would per-
form his clear and obvious duty
without trying to make political
capital out of it, but if my silence is
going to be used by a certain class
: of politicians to try to mislead our
womanhood at this, their first cleo
ton, it clearly becomes by duty to
speak and to speak in language that
cannot be misunderstood.
Again thanking you for your ex-
pressions of high regard and
esteem, which 1 assure you are fully
reciprocated by me, l am
Very sincerely yours,

My dear Mr.. Bennett:
I have your letter in which you
so kindly express absolute conf
dence in my position on the Tenn
perance question and in which you
assure me of your earnest and en-
thusiastic support.
1 gather from your letter, how
ever, that the Republican party is
trying to create the impression
among the womanhood of Wicomico
county that favor modification
of the Volstead Act.
My views are as follows:
Cd The Constitution does not
permit the manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors.
CD 1t is the sworn duty of a
Congressman to support the Consti-
tuition.
ca If elected to Congress 1 will
not vote to increase the alcoholic
content of one-half of one per cent,
as prescribed by the Volstead Act,
but will vote and use my influence
to prevent any increase.
(4) If electtd to Congress will
not vote for any modification of the
Volstead Act unless it be a modifi-
cation which will make National
Prohibition more effective than the
Volstead Act makes it; in other

Iation Permitting Return of
Light Wines and Beer.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Wisconsin con-
gressmen and senators have been sent
copies of a resolution asking repeal or
modification Of the present prohibition
laws, it was learned in connection with
the completion of an investigation of
the illegal liquor traffic in Wisconsin
by the federal grand jury.
The resolution was signed by all
members Of the grand jury. AS a re-
suit of their investigation, more than
IS indictments for violation of the Vol
stead law were returned.
The enactment of legislation permit
ting the return of light wines and beer
was urged in the resolution, which
cited "moonshining" and "bootlegging'
as evils resultant from the present
prohibition enforcement.
The jury in it's report attacks the
Volstead act as having defeated the
real purpose Of prohibition by having
caused conditions which are a menace
to the physical well being of both
this present and next generations"
The liquor situation in Wisconsin
was characterized as deplorable.
In it's report the jury declared it
found "moonshining" prevalent every
where both in the cities and in the
country, some of the fluid being abso-
lutely poisonous and all detrimental to
health.

Organizer to Finance Ameri-
can Export Trade.
WOULD OPEN OUTLETS
Bankers, Business Men and Producers
Take Part in Huge Financing
Scheme Which Viii Relieve
Acute TRACE Situation.

Chicago-Realizing that one of the
surest ways Of relieving the present
acute trade situation in the United
States is that of opening outlets for
American products in foreign coun-
tries, $50 bankers, business men and
producers from all parts of the country
will meet for the purpose of organizing
a 500, 000, 900 corporation to finance
American export trade, The corpora
ton would be authorized under the
Edge act for the protection of home in.
dustries and proper financing of Amer.
lean trade.
The foreign trade financing plan, it
was announced, is designed to meet
credit needs of foreign buyers who
cannot pay because they lack specific
security. The corporation, it is plan
ned, will be under the protecting wing
of the Federal Reserve banks and will
be semi-public in character.
According to the announcement,
rendering, under the plan, of special
assistance to any one country, has not
been considered, as object of the plan
is to encourage American foreign trade
as a whole and, as contemplated, it
would operate wherever such trade ex-
tended.
Plan Is Described.
In describing the proposed plan, E.
H. Youngman, New York, said that
the corporation would endeavor to
place it's debentures with the public.
ut is expected that gradually these
~debentures will be issued to the ex-
tent of $1,000, O00, OOO," he added.
Reorganization of this corporation
will represent the first definite steps
taken unitedly by the 'arge financial
and industrial interests of the country
to aid in the extension and mainte-
nance of u foreign trade. Activities
Of the corporation are not to be Sec
tional, but are to extend over the en-
tire country and to embrace all forms
of production that enter in our foreign
trade operations. This renders it's ac-
tivities of interest, not only to the pro-
Queer of manufactured goods, but to
