KRAMER CLAIMS PUBLIC, HOSTILE TO PROHIBITION, Is NOT HELPING
Federal Dry Commissioner, In Letter To Senator, Gives
 Views On Enforcement SAYS LAW IS SOUND Assumes Share Of Blame For Error In Wiping Liquor
 Traffic From Nation

WASHINGTON. March s1.-Diffi- culties in enforcing national prohibi- ttion include hostile public sentiment. lack of cooperation by the states. bootlegging on the borders and issu- ance of too many dealers permits. ae- cording to John F. Kramer. federal prohibition commissioner.
 What he termed as his honest views" on prohibition were given by Kramer in a letter to Senator Capper, of Kansas. and made public JodIy
 In view of all these conditions and circumstances, he said, q believe we have made remarkable progress. We still have much work to do and will have for years to come. You can't turn the current of history overnight Anything that has fastened itself up on political, economic @=s personal history of our country as has the liQ- uor traffic, cannot be removed in a day or year."
 Kramer said that the Volstead law was sound, that he was not advocat- ing any radical revision of the law and that enforcement laws largely were administrative.
 Too many permits for medicinal preparations containing alcohol were issued originally, he said. These have been reduced and standards of medi- eating alcoholic preparations raised. Permits for manufacturing industrial alcohol are being curtailed.
 'T am willing to assume my share of responsibility for these errors" he said. "In the beginning we issued too many permits. We made a mistake in placing the standard of medicinal preparations too low. We have had trouble in selecting a force of agents who were at all times loyal. This does not apply. to many. but to some"
 Among recommendations made to tighten up prohibition were: Removal of whisky to a few large and well guarded warehouses; increase of pro hibition agents on the Canadian and Mexican borders and enactment oi pfohibition codes by all the states.
 "There are some uncertainties in the law (the Volstead acD but it has nao hardly a thorough enough trial,' he wrote. "to warrant congress Tn max ing any radical changes. Further number of questions now are in the courts"

 The former premier. it was said. en- tleavored to set at rest all reports that France intended to ask for any remission of it's debts to the United States.
 In asserting that France would dis charge all financial obligations to America. he took occasion also to set at rest any presumption that the off cial viewpoint of France was repre- sented in the recent contention in the French senate that debt was due France by America in unpaid loans dating from the revolutionary war,

 Officials present at the dinner emphasized that. in his conversation. M. Viviani made no suggestion or con crete proposal for American aid
 It was said that he had ehdeavored merely to present the situation m which France found herself at the moment. without offering any sus- gestion as to the form of moral as sistance which the United States might render
 He was understood to have stated merely that France could not proceed to the task confronting her without the moral support of the united States as we'll as the allied powers
 So far as was disclosed. the ques- tion of separate peace between the United States and Germany did not enter into the conversation.

Definite plans for carrying out a big Buy At Homep campaign in the Warren district, to conserve as far as possible the interests of the entire community during a trying period, were formulated last night at a mass meeting of merchants and business men in the offices of the Warren Dis trict Commercial Club. and under the auspices of that organization.
 The astonishing fact that fully 8 per cent of the income of the district IS spent outside of the community led to thisN movement in the belief that when the matter is brought before the public the cooperation Of all will be obtained to alter condition that should not exist even in the most prosperous times, and that it Is be- lieved all will cooperate to eliminate at this particular time.
