WASHINGTON-New prohibition
regulations covering the distribution
Of wines for religious purposes have
been almost completed by the Inter-
nal Revenue Department.
The rules being prepared, officials
said, are designed to insure churches
obtaining the same standard of sac
ramental wines to which they were
accustomed before the ban was put
on wholesale liquor dealers under an
opinion by former Attorney-General
Palmer.
Request was made at a recent
hearing before the bureau that At
torney- General Daugherty review his
predecessors ruling so far as IL ap-
piled to dealers in sacramental
wines. as the churchmen contended
they could not obtain their standard
OF quality from wholesale druggists.
The bureau takes the view, however,
it was explained. that request for
a new ruling would reopen the whole
question of wholesale liquor dealers,
while regulations can be drafted
with special attention to importers
which would accomplish the end
sought without bringing the matter
again before the Attorney-General.

While the canvass in Wicomico has
not been finished, the results so far
have netted s175O of which $3.50
was subscribed by the members of
the church in Salisbury. This was
the largest amount so far subscribed
by any one church, and is consid-
cred remarkable because OF the fact
that only recently a subscription Of
over $1,000 was made by this congre-
gattion toward a new building for
themselves in that town. Mr.. Smith
declares that in spite of this achieve
ment, these people subscribed as
cheerfully to the new Wilmington
project as those OF any church visit

the five counties partially canvassed
so far is in excess Of $4,000. The

THE MAYORS VETO.

To the Editor of The Evening
Journal.
Sir;-In a general way our Mayor
has assumed the right attitude to-
ward our city expenditures. l must,
however. differ from him on his veto
Of the initial bond issue, that, If it
had not been overruled, would have
resulted in check to the develop
ment Of our harbor.
II the Harbor Commission is not
allowed to finish the first unit, which
this bond issue was intended to
cover. then the harbor work will be
postponed indefinitely. In my re-
marks to Council last week simply
protested against the Commission
going ahead with the second unit
until the first one had been finished
and tried out.
The city must expect no return on
the harbor venture for a long time
but. incidentally the city will benefit
and it will eventually lead 10 a rapid
growth. The new harbor will labor
under some disadvantages. at the
outset. as il is three miles from the
heart of the city, while Philadelphia
and Baltimore shipping tie up within
stones throw Of ship chambers
wholesale ship supply houses, etc
This will be remedied in time by
the creation of a suburb with the
accessories
I am quite sure that this is th'
viewpoint Of the Council towards thu
harbor: that after so much time hai
been spent in preliminary survey
securing Information. etc, that
would be unwise that the Harbo
Commission should be completed

By LLOYD ATTEN,

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent.) }
LONDON. (By MaiD-Russia to-
day desires peace and is following
a policy OF non-interference in the
internal affairs OF other nations.
Ieonid Krassin, Chief Of the Rus
sian Trade Delegation to England
and a powerful figure in the Lenine
government, is authority fpr the
foregoing.
In an exclusive interview with
the United Press, Krassin explained
recent changes in policy OF Moscow
and outlined his attitude regarding
widespread reports of his intention
of visiting Canada and the United
States.
At the same time, Krassin dis
cussed possibilities Of resuming Rus
sian-south American trade.
"The sincere desire Of the Rus
sian people and the Russian gov
ernment is to be at peace with all
the peoples Of the world" Krassin
told me.
beginning wEh the spring OF
1919, the Russian government made
constant official proposals to all the
powers participating in the interven-
tion and blockade to begin peace
negotiations for the adjustment OF all
the points at issue and the estab-
lishment OF peaceful relations.
Soviet government at the present
time as well.
In all countries with which Soviet
Russia has concluded commercial
agreements the Soviet government
has bound itself not to carry on any
hostile propaganda against the in
stitutions or governments of these
countries.
1T has honestly fulfilled and will
continue to fulfill these condi-
tons"
Dealing with the reports that
Krassin is preparing to visit Canada
and America, Krassin pointed out:
There can be no question Of any
visit to the United States until the
government of the United States has
expressed its consent TO such a
visit"
Regarding Canada, Krassin ex-
planned; From the moment of the
conclusion Of the Anglo-Russian
Trading Agreement. Canada auto
matically entered the sphere of Rus
so British commercial relations and
the Russian Trade Delegation has
already placed some orders for Rus
sia in Canada.
AT the present moment the Soviet
Delegation is carrying on negotia-
tions with certain Canadian factories
with the object OF placing order:
