purposes and was used by the Of

sumption for distribution to personal
friends and as gifts to favored in.
stitutions. There was no charge that
any of the liquor was disposed of for
financial gain.
Illegal Withdrawals covered In the
report were declared to have occurr-

individuals who were involved, but
declared that their conduct can not
"be too severely condemned"
At the department Of justice Of

when counsel for a defendant in a
liquor case which had lapsed under
the statute of limitations, filed claim
for return of the several cases of
whiskey.
Mr.. Burns said he ordered that the
property be returned at once and
then learned that it was no longer in
the warehouse. An inquiry was in.

submitted to the grand jury, accord

PROHIBITION NOW
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES IN
FIVE STATES oPPoSE-AGI-
TATION FOR MODIFICATION
OF LAW IN NEW YORK, NEW
JERSEY AND OTHER STATES.

Washington, Oct. 3.-While it has
been the boast of the Anti-Saloon
league that John Barleycorn is dead,
it is significant fact that in five of
the most important states of the
union he will be more or less an issue
in the elections slated for November.
In each instance, furthermore, it
is the Democratic party which advo-
Gates relaxation from Volstead re-
strictions. In New York, the Demo-
cratic convention adopted damp
plank, In New Jersey, the Demo
cratic senatorial candidate, Governor
Edwards, is "wet.' In Massachusetts,
the party stands for amending the
Volstead act. In Missouri, Senator
Reed, Democrat, declares in favor of
wine and beer.
The Republican party, in each in
stance, With possibly one exception,
plays politics. 1t apparently knows
the power of an organized, well fin
anced minority to overcome an. un-
organized majority which has no
treasury. .... .... -.
In New York, all Democratic and
Republican candidates are "wet. "
Gov. Miller is no more convinced Of
the wisdom of Volsteadism than for
mer Governor Smith. And Senator
Calder is no more "dry'' than his
competitor, Mr.. Copeland. The only
difference is that the Democratic
candidates are declaring themselves,
while the Republicans are maintain
ing cautious quiet.
In New Jersey, Governor Edwards
is openly telling the people that Vol
steadism has made the nation one of
the lawbreakers. Senator Frelinhuy-
sen, on the contrary, after admitting
that his cellar is stocked with excel
lent wines and liquors, breaches the
glory of prohibition. In Massachu-
sets, the Democrats demand wine
and beer. Senator Lodge, always
"wet," is taking no position.
In Missouri, Senator Reed declares
that he voted against constitutional
prohibition because he believed that
the issue was one for settlement by
the states; and he advocates an a.
mendment Of the Volstead act. His
opponent, R. R. Brewster, declares
himself "powder dry and challenges
Reed to debate the prohibition ques-
ton as the issue of the day.
There is an unique situation in
Ohio. The Democratic senatorial can.
didate, Atlee Pomerene, was too able
man to have been demagogic or ia.
natical on the liquor question when
it was a real issue. And today he is
too able to contend that as prohibi.
ton is the law of the land, the law
should not be observed.

should DEVELOP
RESERVE SYSTEM
MORE HARMONY BETWEEN
BANKING UNITS SUGGESTED.
STATE LAWS PERMIT PRAc.
TIcEs NOT ALLOWED BY MA
TIONAL BANKS.

New York, Oct. 3.-The final po-
Icy of the nation should look not
only toward further development
of the Federal Reserve System but
also the welding into a closer
and more harmonious unit, of the
different elements of the banking
structure, Eugene Meyer, Jr. man
aging director of the War Finance
Corporation declared in an address
here today, before the state bank
division Of the American Bankers
Association Expressing the opinion
that the fact that two-thirds Of the
country banks representing 80 per
cent of it's total banking resources,
were outside of the Federal, Reserve
was Undoubtedly responsible IN
part, at least, for some Of our re-
cent difficulties" Mr.. Meyer said.
"We have reached time. where
we must decide whether we shall
continue the more or less hap
hazard developement Of our banking
machinery or whether our action
shall proceed along lines based
upon comprehensive view Of the
needs of the country"
The fact that state banking laws
frequently permit practices IN
which national banks cannot legally
engage. Mr.. Meyer said, has created
a condition Of competition between
the two systems which may lead to
gradual weakening Of both. Mr..
Meyer said the practice OF permit
ting branch banking, may be good
if carried on in limited way and
not if permitted on an extensive
scale. The question should be de-.
cided on it's merits he said, and mot
as the product of competition" be-
tween the two systms.
On the subject of agricultural
financing, Mr.. Meyer declared this
must be based, first of all, upon the
fundamental facts of American ag-
riculture and second upon the eco
nouic and financial structure of the
country. Longer terms of Congress
to meet the need of more gradual
marketing Of agricultural products
has been shown to be an absolute
necessity he said. ...
Although the view seems to be.
held in some quarters that paper,
in order to be liquid must have a
sixty or ninety days maturity. Mr..
Meyer said it has been shown dur
ing the past year that long time pa
per may be more liquid as to se-
curity than short-time, and that ii
there was any differentials between
the liquidity of commercial paper
and that based upon staple nom
perishable agricultural !commo dities
properly warehouses, the latter IS
decidedly more so under adverse
