DRY ENFORCEMENT ACUTE
Liquor Puzzle to Cabinet--Problems
of Dry Statute enforcement
Debated.

Washington.-Pro OF prohibit.
ton enforcement in the United States
are becoming SO acute that they are
injecting themselves into the semi.
weekly conferences of President Hard
ing and his Cabinet. Two questions
relating to enforcement of the prohi-
bition laws were called up during the
Cabinet conference, it was learned.
One related to the storage and dispo-
sition of confiscated liquors, the other
to the transportation of liquor in bond
within the country.
One Cabinet official is said to have
brought to the attention Of the Presi-
dent and the other members the diff
ficulty that Government officials are
experiencing in obtaining storage
room for confscated liquor, especially
in the larger cities, notably New York.
Linked with this problem is the item
of expense attached to leasing storage
quarters and paying salaries of officers
and guards to prevent it being stolen:
Obviously, it was indicated, it would
become necessary for the Government
TO provide for means of disposing of
this contraband liquor instead Of per-
hitting it to accumulate In largo guam
titles in large cities. Not all members
of the Cabinet, it is said, subscribe to
the theory that confiscated liquor
should be poured into cutters and sew
ers or otherwise destroyed. They con-
tend that this liquor has an economic
value aside from it's value as bev.'
erage, and that it is a ruthless waste
to destroy any product for which law
full uses can be found.

De Valera Argues For Complete Lib

minion Status-Proposals Provide
For Self-Government.

London.-The correspondence be-
tween David Lloyd George. British
Premier, and Eamonn De Valera, Irish
Republican leader, made public by the
British Government, shows that while
there is deadlock on the question OF
independence for Ireland, negotiations
still are open. Great Britain offered
ireland complete autonomy in finance
and taxation, military forces for home
defense, her own police, and, among
other things, control of Irish postal
services.
In his reply to Mr.. Lloyd George, Mr..
De Valera argued for independence
and offered to submit Ulster questions
to arbitration In his first letter, Mr..
Lloyd George denied Ireland's right to
secession, refused foreign arbitration
for Irish questions. and expressed the
hope that Ireland would accept the
British terms, which he declared were
the best that could be offered. The
British proposals, dated July 20, said:
1.-THE British Government is actuated
by an earnest desire to end the I'M
happy divisions between Great Britain
and ireland, which have produced so
many conflicts in the past and which
have once more shattered the peace
and well-being of Ireland.
"At the present time they long with
His Majesty. the. King, in the words
of his speech in Ireland, for salts
factory solution of those age-long
Irish problems which for generations
embarrassed our forefathers as they
new weigh heavily upon us, and they
wish to do their utmost to obtain
peace.
"They are convinced that the Irish
people may find as worthy and COM
pIete an expression of their political
and spiritual ideals within the empire
as any of the numerous and varied ma
lions united in allegiance TO His
Majesty's throne, and they desire such
contamination not only for the well
fare of Great Britain and Ireland and
the empire as whole, but also for the
cause of peace and harmony through
out the world.
I. There Is not part OF the world
where Irishmen have made their
homes but suffers from our ancient
feuds. No part of it but looks to this
meeting between the British Govern
ment and Irish leaders to resolve
these feuds in a new understanding,
honorable and satisfactory to all in
vOlved."
