Blue Law Lobby
Seeks to Snuff
Out Cigarettes
Rev. DR.. Burrell, State Dry
League Head and Lords
Day Alliance Director.
Admits Big Fund Exists
DIR. Manning Is Assaulted
Bishop Burch, of Episcopal
Church, Comes Out
for Liberal Sunday

The prohibition of the cigarette b.
statute, it was disclosed yesterday, is
one Of the reforms that the Lords Day
Alliance, now concentrating. its eff
forts toward the enactment of blue
laws, is determined ultimately to bring
about.
This fact and an emphatic declara-
tion by the Rev. DR.. David James Bur
rell, president of the New York State
Anti-Saloon League, that ne is heart
and soul for The enforcement of a
Puritan Sabbath by Federal legislation,
seemed to leave no vestige. of doubt
that the blue law crusade is but a
step in a far-reaching program to
regulate and restrict individual action.
Ratification of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and pass.ge of the Volstead act
constituted the first step.
Blue laws, national and state, are
the second.
Prohibition of tobacco, establishment
of a motion picture censorship and
anti boxing bills are planned to follow
in the order that expediency dictates.
Literally Financed
The same literally financed ma
chinery-an organization par excellence
when it comes to getting favorable
action from Congress and legislatures
is back of the whole reform cam
paign.
This is what the state president Of
the New York Anti-Saloon League had
to say yesterday in regard to meas
ure pending before Congress which
would halt interstate tra;Hs and for
bid any sort of activity by any govern
ment agency on Sunday:
the proposed Sunday law is neither
new nor blue. 1t expresses the con-
vic.ion OF all Christians except such
as believe that the Ten Commandm ents
are played out. AS an .avowedy Chris
tan nation, we are under bonds to keep
he Lords Day. What this. bill pro-
ooses is- to make an end OF Sabbath
iesecration on the part OF the gov

Abolishes Departments Rules

Since January I in Ne1o York City:
There have been moro than s25
hold-ups, robbcries and thefts.
The property loss involred is more
than $3.50, 900.
The> unsolrcd murders alone total

Chief Inspector William J. Lahey IS
to-day the outstanding figure Of the
New York Police Department and
wields greater power than was ever
before vested in one official of the or
ganization. His control extends from
tie Board of Inspectors down through
al the ramiiications of the department
to the doormcn and bootblacks. Even
tie clerical staff is ruled by his Office

letting of contracts Tor all depart
mental repairs and supplies.
Inspector Lahcy's power is even
greater than that OF Commissioner
Richard E. Enright, although he is
technically responsible to the latter.
Lahey has risen to his present POSI-
ton through the disintegration of the
organization built, up by former Com
missioner Arthur Woods. Since Sep
temher 4, 1920, when he was appointed
Chie* Inspector by Commissioner En-
right, the latter in practice signs

mendations,
Old Precedents Shattered
Commissioner Enright alone is re-
sponsible for Inspector Lahey's rapid
rise to the high place of power he now
occupies. To accomplish this. the Com
missioner has made a long series of
involved strategic moves which have
included the changing of department
rules of long standing, the demotion
OF certain officers, the placing Ct others
in positions which carried high-sound-
ing titles but no authority, and the
forcing from the service of men who
held high rank under Commissioner
Woods, and whose records, in the
opinion of competent observers, gave
them greater claim to advancement
than that of the present Chief In
spector.
Commissioner Enright prepared
Lahey's berth of power for him before
ne actually appointed him. To make
the Chief Inspectors police powers
supreme, he SO altered departmental
rules as to give this official complete

Our Position as Protector
Menaced at Geneva; Can

By Ralph Courtney
Special cc5le to The Tr.bun,


Copyright. 1870 New York Tribune Inc
GENEVA, Nov. 30.-The position of
the United States as the protector un-
der the Monroe Doctrine Of the South
American countries is being threatened
from two directions at the sessions of
the League of Nations here. All the
South American delegates are showing
a strong desire to revert to the lead
ership Of the Spanish mother country
Canada also is extending a hand Of
friendship to them over America s
head
The Canadian delegation to the
league is giving big dinner next
Thursday to all the members from the
South American countries at which
toasts and speeches will be exchanged
which are expected to result in closer
friendship but which may effect per-
manent rapprochemcnt between the
sphere.
1t is possible that this dinner will
lay the foundation for q concerted at
tack on Article x of the. league cove
rant. The United States opposes Ar
ticle X because OF the obligations
which it fears it might incur, while
Canada and the South Americans are
preparing to delete the same article
because they fear that the United
States might use i. to strcn2then the
Monroe Doctrine.
If the league, in order to assure the
entry Of the United States, is forced
to recognize specifically the Monroe
Doctrine, it is feared by the South
Americans that under Article x man
date may be given to the United States
to keep peace in the Western HeJni-
sphere Neither Canada nor Soath
AMERICA wants the position of the
Uniter States strengthened in this way
The homcsickncss Of Central and
South America Tor their mother coun-
try, Spain, was brought out at the
morning session Of the Assembly by
Senor Garay, Of the Panama dclega-
ton, who spoke in favor OF admitting
Spanish as one of the leagues official
languages.
Garay said that three centuries ago
Spain had conquered the newly discov-
cred American peoples by fire and

One of the principal topics Of con
versation in the Harding party since
they left the Canal Zone. has been the
weakness OF the defenses Of the Pan
ana Canal. a strong effort is Ger
tain TO be made to have tho next Con-
gress strengthen them.
Canal Guns Obsolete
The Gatun locks and dam could be
destroyed by the batteries Of the Brit
ish ship Queen Elizabeth without that
ships having to come within range of
the l2-inch mortars, which are the only
servlceable defense guns at the Allan
tic end Of the canal. Other battleships
OF other nations could accomplish the
same thing. Most OF the guns used in
the Canal Zone fortitications are Of
obsolete types, and it is said that some
of them cannot even be fired
