Cabinet Recently Discussed
Prohibition Problems as
Affecting Country.
WITHDRAWALS ARE MANY
Embassies Are Accused of Sell
ing Surplus of Imported
Liquors.
Special Despatch TO THE NEv YoRK HueALp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 9.


President Harding has given fun ap-
law authorities for more vigorous drives
to dry up New York and other States In
which the liquor traffic is nourishing.
Prohibition problems now confronting
the Government have occupied the Cabi-
nets attention at recent meetings The
political aspects of the situation partic-
ularly were discussed in some detail by
Administration leaders and the White
House.
The President, when acquainted with
the projected moves of Prohibition Conn
missioner Haynes which may involve
removal of other officials following the
resignation. Of Harold L. Hart as direc-
tor at New York, is said TO have voiced
support Of all plans to mako Volstead
law enforcement a success.
Political phases OF the campaign now
under way which have caused some con-
Germ among higher officials here have
TO do chiefly with the facticnal trouble
that may develop within the Republican
party in some States as result OF Mr..
Haynes's determination to dispiacc State
prohibition directors and others in posi-
tions of responsibility.
The states where thorough inspections
are nov being made. with the object OF
obtaining an accurate gauge upon the
records OF directors. include the main
strongholds of whislley In the country,
such as Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio.
In the last month Mr.. Haynes has
been alarmed over the continued heavy
flow Of whiskey from bond on Govern
n,ent permits. The restrictions imposed
BY new regulations have brought a big
reduction In the amount of liquors with
drawn, but Mr.. Haynes finds only g.
small percentage of the liquor now with
drawn is being used legally.
Foreign embassies and legations in
Washington were charged to-day by Or.
Wilbur f. Crafts, superintendent OF the
international Reform Bureau and prom
inent blue laws advocate, with importing
more alcoholic liquar than they can
drink and permitting them TO be sold in
Washington in defiance Of the Volstead
law.
DIR. Crafts did not specify what en-
bassies he had in mind. A reporter who
talked with officials of several enbas-
sizes and legations obtained only indig-
nant denials that anything of the sort
was going on.

Will Hays, p. N. e., and
The "Open Door,
By BILL PRICE.

WILL HAYS, P. M. G., has shown much capacity
and executive ability in his comparatively brief in
national politics that his experiment of the open door,
the head of the Postoce Department will be watched with
much interest.
The Cabinet officer who banishes private from the
doors to his Offices many people, and successfully
ries the arduous official duties he confonts is most
valuable asset to any administration. 1t goes long way
toward making that administration popular President
HARDING himself sets heroic example of statesman
who earnestly wishes to keep in personal touch with his
fellowctzens and at the time apply himself to the
solution of thousands of knotty problems constantly
fronting him.
The man in public life who rubs elbows with many
of his feowAmercans possible is the who will have
the best slant at public opinion when the time that
he ought to know what Americans thinking There
be mental rut lopsided view, with the who
depends almost wholly upon his supposedly superior
intellect directly indirectly influenced by chosen
few There big in his mental machinery that
he doesn't learn something from contact with other
The chap who said that the wise is the who
absorb and the best that others think and say wasn't
very far wrong.
Accessibility of public is just little bit of recog
milton which goes far election day. Congressman
who died years ago told this writer once that his
repeated reelection to Congress continuous period Of
thirty years largely due to the fact that when
people of his district to Washington he personally
took them places of interest the White House. Capitol
etc. and that he neglected the human element in his
correspondence with them.

JONAH AND THE WHALE.

Replying to the poetical inquiry Of
BILL L." two contribs--H. b. ROS-
SELL and II. SMITH-say that
Jonah" is the answer. 1t is the story
Of the whale.
Commenting on this story, ROSSELL
states: ALLOW me to remark that II
was not a whale that swallowed
JONAH. 1t is physical impossi-
bility for a whale to swallow a man,
as its throat is not large enough. 1t
is said that the Prince of Monaco,
who has just favored us with visit.
on one of his many deep-sea ex-
ploring expeditions brought to the
surface a marine monster so vast that
1t could readily swallow not only q
man. but an ordinary street car, GER
tainly a car of the bonneville Troll
ley variety. 1t was impossible to
bring the gigantic carcass to the
shore, so IL was abandoned to the
sharks. IT is supposed that IL was
creature Of this kind that swallowed
JONAH OF course, the whole story
is most probably myth, but II was
told for n good purpose. and loses
nothing but rather gains, by being
considered fctipn."

The Washington times., 1921-05-06

We have farmers, whose minds
are on crops, railroad extortion, dis
eases of cows, the price of wheat
and the wheat gamblers. We have
scientists working in their labora-
tories, concentrated entirely on the
acquisition of NEW knowledge. Is
their Americanism the samei Their
thoughts, certainly, are NOT the
same, nor their ambitions, nor their
methods, nor their interest.
Go to foreign country, France,
for instance. In the north, in Nor
mandy, or Picardy you see big fair
haired men, many over six feet tall,
talking a French that the Partisan
doesn't understand.
Go south, to the Midi. There they
speak totally different French, and
you find a different race, shorter,
darker, intensely active, Latin.
Go to Brittany, and you still find
old women using Gaelic speech.
GO down to the Ardennes, the
mountainous country that produces
the "strong men" of the Paris
market, you find another race, and
another patois. So it is in the
Pyrenees, where you find the Bas-
ques, the race that produced Foch,
talking strange language not Euro
pean. And so everywhere.
What would you propose doing if
you wanted to "Frenchify" those
different kinds of Frenchmen, as
you want to "Americanize" Ameri-
cans' Aren't they ALL good
Frenchmen, if they all fight together
pretty well, although many could
with difficulty understand the
language of the Frenchmen in the
next regiment.
Before demanding complete
Characterization" for every non
American, it would be well to decide
what Americanization is. If it means
to obey the law, help your fellow
man, learn as much as you can con-
sidering how hard you work and
how little time you have, treat your
children kindly, cook we'll for your
husband instead of letting him de-
pend upon a can-opener, send your
children to school and work to keep
them there, well and good. That is
good Americanism, also good
Frenchism, Chineseism and every
other ism.
But if you assume that the non
American-that is to say, the re-
Gently arrived-have not just as
good standards as YOU, are not
just as anxious to do their duty, and
just as willing to abide by the law,
you simply insult many people fool
ishly, and you don't do much good
in the process.
Americanize YOURSELF and
learn equality.

THOMAS j. HEFLIN is one of


Alabama's representatives in
q the Senate. He had previously
been a member of the House.
Participants in the debates of the
Senate are expected to attain high
plane of intelligence if not fairness,
Listen to this from Mr.. Heflin's
first speech in the Sixty seventh Con-
gress:
81 have seen the farmers in my section
who produced cotton at cost of 80 cents
pound in 1920 haul II to the market
place and sell IL for IL cents a pound
--18 cents below the cost of production.
"If we had been in the league of na-
tions, Russia and Germany would have
taken every bale of cotton that we had
to sell; they would have taken everything
to eat that we had to sell, and the farm
ers of America, who are suffering today,
would not have had to bear the awful
burden that is now upon them.
THE failure to 60 into the league of
nations cost the farmers, merchants and
bankers of the South and West thousands
of millions Of dollars"
Entry into the League of Nations
would have cost some millions of dol
lars as our assessment for its ex-
penses, but it would not have bene-
fited our export trade by the value of
a Cancelled postage stamp.
