The True Status of Prohibition.

a MERICANS are aligned into three general
~ classes with respect to prohibton-wets
drys and those who, seeing the widespread damage
wrought by the liquor traffic, welcomed prohibition
as the only solution offered. The fact that only
Connecticut and Rhode Island have failed to ratfy
the amendment, despite the frequent assertion that
many legislatures "saloon-controed" fairly
shows the extent of prohibition sentiment.
The vets naturally eager to point to the
alleged failure of prohibition, and many of the more
easily discouraged drys inclined to follow suit
However, although liquor-runners, bootleggers
moonshners and home-brewers render state
ments as to their output, and exact statistics
therefore not available, it may be fairly assumed
that the liquor traffic today is far less than in the
good old days." when almost every town Of any
size had its brewery, and dstilleres operated
on huge scale.
Home-brew, to a casual observer, is already
"petering out"-the effort is too great for the
ward and the novelty of circumventng Uncle Sam
has lost its tang. Moonshining and liquor-running
are still profitable to many, but the efforts of
forcement officers coupled with falling prices
through overcompet1on and reduced demand
through fear of poisonous connections, cutting
wide swath through this traffic., even though
its growth has been rapid.
Altogether it is at least trihe early to predict
failure, of prohibition The American people
not ready to loosen up" are signs conclusive
that they ever will be.

The Industrial Comeback.

MOT to be outdone by recent rosy reports OF
Y members of President >Harding's special
committee unemployment showing marked
decrease in joblessness the Department of Com
merce puts forward sets of figures relative to
general conditions Of domestic trade which are
more satisfactory than for many months.
The departments assertion that business is
gradually, but definitely, returning to normal is
based primarily upon a survey extending up to
March 20, showing that with the exception OF
tobacco all farm products commanding better
market price. Livestock has gone up from 40
to 70 per cent, wool 2s per and minor cereals
show Substantial gains
A combination of unfortunate conditions have
made the farmers case perhaps of deeper concern
to the country at large than any other. But in
other important industries it need hardly be re-
called, there has existed a most disquietng depres
sion. There is on that account equal encourage
ment in learning that cotton consumption has
advanced per cent in the past year, that pig
iron production showed the highest daily average
in February for twelve months that in the building
trades contracts awarded in February in the
Northeastern States showed a substantial increase
and that augmented activity in one OF the great
steel corporations has reduced its untitled orders
by 100000 tons to remaining total of I4I tons.
Such tabulations cannot be gainsaid argued
down. The rapid ebbing of the tide of business
accompanying the general postwar let-down has
halted; the waters rising again.

Asks Tariff Aid for China.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Below is a copy of a letter sent
the members of the United States
Senate:
at is indeed a keen delight to
notice the deep interest you have
taken in the cause of China in the
Senate debate on the ratification
of the arms conference treaties
and also to observe the upright
stand you have taken In these
Far Eastern questions.
To further your good work, IL
has occurred to US and undoubt-
edly to you too, that in the dis
cussions on the ratification of the
treaty respecting the Chinese Gus
toms tariff, a reservation should
be made to the effect that China
should be granted tariff autonomy
as soon as she is capable of main
tanning an effective. responsible
and stable government
This act on the part OF the
United States will not only be one
of simple justice but also of ire
mendous assistance to China at a
time when she is recovering from
the international wounds of the
past and striving to attain the
goal of full and untrammeled
sovereignty"
