SAYS PROHIBITION BREEDS
LIARS AND HYPOCRITES
Effects of Dry Law Are Described by the Rev. DR.. w
F. McGinnis Head of the International
Catholic Society of Truth

Spetioi Dispatch to The New YoRK HERALD.
MONTREAL, Que. Feb. Americans
are becoming a race of liars, perjurers,
hypocrites and cowards," said Rev. DR..
w. Il. McGinnis. president of the Inter-
national Catholic Society of Truth. New
York, speaking OF prohibition in an in
terview with the Quebec Telegraph.
Quebec is more than usually happy
in her general outlook upon life, in the
simple amusements and liberties of her
people. Her moral standard is very
high and. compared to other cities, is
practically free from crime of any sort.
Naturally I think the grand old religion
of Roman Catholicism is the foundation
Of all that makes Quebec what she Is.
The United States is hedged in by a
great array of prohibitive restrictions.
And these form nothing less than a
strong dose of class legislation in which
the rich man enjoys with inpunity his
we'll filled cellar and the ordinary
working man is unable to get more than

DIR. McGinnis stated that 1t was this
state of affairs that was breeding sui
lenness, hypocrisy and lack of coopera-
ton everywhere. That prohibition had
not cured drunkenness was evident from

Paris, Feb. 25.
The efforts of the party of Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi, the Indian nom
cooperationist leader, to obtain Indian
independence can be defeated only by
the maintenance of British troops in
India. according to the view of William
b. Phillips of New York, who passed
four months in that country.
A century of peace, free of all inter-
nal strife. has made the native forget
his past troubles due to- wars and con-
slant Quarrels with his more powerful
neighbors, thinks Mr.. Phillips, who says
that once military rule Is withdrawn the
Pathans, the Silshs and other powerful
factions in the north are bound 70 sweep
southwark and completely disrupt the
country. All the old feuds and religious
quarrels that have characterized the
history of the land in the past would
be resumed with new vigor-the effect
whereof may be realized if one remem-
bers that the white population is less
than 100000 to 300,000,000 inhabitants
of the Indian States.
Mr.. Phillips studied the Gandhi move
ment at first hand at the time the Prince
of Wales reached India. He is conf
dent that Gandhi's effort this time win
prove to be an absolute failure; but the
accuracy OF Gandhfs calculations as to
the possibilities of arousing the native
spirit he considers a. grave danger to
the future and he insists, one not to be
overlooked.
I'm fact so certain are they OF suc-
cess that they set a definite date for
the full achievement of their revolu-
tiohary object" Mr.. Phillips told the
correspondent for THE NEW YORK
HERALD. Under normal conditions,
1t would be impossible to secure suf-
ficiently concerted support of any re-
dictionary movement. but the war has
brought forth the great caliphate move
ment, caused by the treaty of Sevres
and as a result has raised the antagon-
ism of all Mohammedans, making ii pos
sible to unite them with the Hindus
against a continuance of British rule In
India"
AS typical of this united mentality
which the obstructionists evince at
every possible occasion Mr.. Phillips
told the correspondent of a recent ex-
perience in a dock scheme in which
he is interested.
Two ancient abandoned mosques were
in the way of certain dock improve
ments In Calcutta. AS the public had
paid no attention to these mosques for
a generation or so the authorities de-
cided that there could be no objection to
their demolition. To their great, sur
prise. when this was begun they were
confronted with q delegation of the
highest religious authorities. who
threatened general strike of all native
labor and also a refusal to pay taxes.
and certainly serious riots II the prof.
ect were not abandoned. The only
solution was to change the direction
in which lay the docks, at enormous
expense-thereby giving the impression
to the natives that they had defeated
their British masters once more.

stock broker, had to pay for proposing
remarriage to his divorced wife and then
failing to keep his promise In the mat
ter. The case. which had aroused wide
spread interest on two continents be-
cause of its unusual nature-a divorced
wife suing her ex-husband for breach
of promise-also came to an extraor-
binary close when the court decided in
favor of Mrs. Bendix-
1t was an actress, Miss Daisy Hancox.
who came between the two in their
second romance, causing Mr.. Bendix's
heart to waver once more with the re-
suit that he married the actress few
days prior to the date set for the second
wedding with his divorsed wife.
1t was Mr.. Bendix who had obtained
the divorce on a charge that his wife
had nisconducted herself with their
chauffeur. After that Mrs. Bendix lived
with their daughter on an allowance of
about $4,000 year. In 1920, Mrs. Ben
dix testified, her ex-husband telephoned
her and invited her to come to London
from Eastbourne, where she was living.
On her birthday he proposed remar-
riage Later they took a fiat where they
lived together for a week, she testified.
Then hs met the actress, and suddenly

and Rights Under Home
stead Act.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
MONTREAL, Feb. 25.--Representing five
hundred thousand women, Mrs. o. C.
Edward, president OF the National
Council Of Women, introduced dele
cation to Sir Lomer Gouin, reminding
him that all these women are voters
and adding 1--WE are affiliated with an
international organization with a mem
bership of twenty million"
The delegation presented number Of
resolutions. The first request was for an
amendment to the naturalization act to
provide that Canadian girl would still
retain her nationality as a Canadian IN
the event of her marrying a foreigner /;
also that wives of foreign-born Cana
dams should be made to pass citizen
ship examinations equal to those
by the men. They also demanded an
amendment to the homestead act per-
mitting women to take up land in the
same town as men, as there are six
million surplus women in England and
many of them are desirous of coming
to Canada to cultivate the land"
Sir Lomer was told legislative action
was desired to make desertion of wife
and family an extraditable offense, and
an amendment to the divorce laws of
Alberta. Manitoba and Saskatchewan
to make them apply equally to men and
women so that a woman might secure a
divorce for her husbands misconduct

now the case in New Brunswick; that
Imprisonment without a fine be enforced
for immoral relations and that register
ing falsely as man and wife at hotels
and boarding houses be made an offense;
also that it be made legal for woman
to marry her deceased husbands brother
as at present a man could marry his de-
ceased wife's sister.
Other amendments asked for included
increasing the age OF consent from four
teen to sixteen, indeterminate sentences
for those convicted of immoral relations
and payment of prisoners in peniten-
tiaries in order to assist I'm providing

MY sympathy is with you" the Min

resolutions and submit them to the coun-
cil."

VIENNA. Feb. 11.--A Vienna paper

was recently advertised in local paper.
When the advertisement was published
by a rich Austrian manufacturer his

this tremendous correspondence and

30,000,0o00. And, It must be remem-
bered that these figures do not include
personnel, or do they include the eco
nomic loss, the loss of our place among
nations, cancellation of the foreign debts
or the violation of the policies which
supply the reason for our navy.
Demand for Economy.
The demand for economy is political.
Constituents must be shown in order to
retain their votes. The conference must
be a money success or be made into a
money success. So, here's to the present
and no fear to the future.
The course we should pursue Is per-
fectly clear. First we should complete
the two capital ships which we may re-
tain under the treaty, the Colorado and
West Virginia, and. second, the ten
scout cruisers of the Omaha class. This
means about s45.000.0o0. Then, we
should transform the two battle cruisers
furthest along to aircraft carriers. Such
move would mean the expenditure of
S10,000.000 and the saving of the $40,-
100000 already spent on these ships, in
stead OF the expenditure Of $40 ZOO. 900 for
two entirely new ships. Then n number
OF new cruisers and fotilla leaders
should he laid down at a cost of about
SbO,OOO,OOO, and n personnel should be
provided for to equal about 135,000 men.
Our bases on the Pacific coast should
be built up to the size of tho fleet II
would cost about S20,000,00 TO make a
good start on the work Then the fuel
and repair of the existing fleet should
be provided for, together with the Incl
dental expenditures. including the navy's
great commercial wireless service, care
OF the lepers, maintenance of hospitals
and garrlsons in turbulent countries.
The total of all this for one year would
be about $450,000,000, and in a few
years all our treaty construction would
be over, and we might settle down to the
naval holiday period. But Kelley's bill
proposes the immediate expenditure oi
only from s200.000,000 TO $40, 900
and the future wasting of almost q
billion will be necessary because of It, II
II passes.
