When the innumerable friends
who will read this article shall have
expressed in the only way possible
to secure lasting memorial. 1t will
then be determined by all of them
what form the memorial shall take.
The writer Of this article, knowing
well the spirit of the man 1t is
sought to honor, is assured by the
memory of the aged faces he bright
ened by hfs ready recognition. and by
recollection Of childish voices that
hailed him as he passed, and little
clinging hands that sought his own
responsive grasp along the highways
OF Brookhaven, that a memorial
made of MOSAIC Of the smallest
contribution from the wealth Of love
that the oldest and the youngest felt
for him, as well as the great gifts of
men grown talp' in the financial
world and women whose interests
and organizations he made his own,
would be the tribute Mr.. McGrath
would cherish above what money a.
lone could erect in ambitious pride
and arrogance, without the propel-
ling power Of love and longing for
the old days that knew him, but
now know him no more.
He has climbed the great worlds
altar stairs that lead through dark
ness up to Cod. Our memory Of
him as he passed should be expressed
in a permanent memorial.

in operating the Department of Jus- lee, it's various Federal District At torneys' offices and in the added costs legal machinery.
 Tho policy of the prohibition en- forcement unit has called for the de- struction of most of the 950,000 gall lone of whiskey and other spirits and wine seized during the year, so this, as a possible source of revenue to off set heavy operating costs, does not enter into the calculation as an asset.
 Millions in Booze Seized.
 The estimated value of property seized or destroyed is $12,907,00 Most of this was Nstillery apparatus and liquors. How much real effort was made to discover among the di- quors seized good whiskey that might have been turned into legitimate me- dicinal channels for use of hospitals or other institutions probably never will be krIown. Records on this score have either not been compiled or if obtained in any manner have been carefully concealed by prohibition of ficials.
 As against these figures Commis- sioner Haynes estimates that the na- ticn's drink bill has decreased $2,00O,- 000,000. He maintains that the costs of enforcement, whatever they may be, are justified. On this argum ent he expects to spend about $2,00O, 900 more this year. his total expenditure running about S9,000.O00.

LORD READING DENIES ABUSE
 OF POWER

Delhi, India, Jan. 30-Lord Read ing, Viceroy of India, set forth the attitude of the Indian government to- ward the revolutionary elements in a recent address to a delegation from the Punjab Chamber of Commerce. After promising that the full strength of the government would be exerted to prevent dis, ,ster, as cabled Ut that time. Lord Reading added:
 'We have no desire to interfere with the lawful activities of political parties however opposed to us, but. although we are most anxious to re- dress all legitimate grievances and to remove the grounds of popular dis content, vet we cannot allow any po- litical activity to impose its will upon tthe country by violence, intin1ida- tiont, coercion or other unla wful means
 There is today natural and Ie- gitfmate desire on the part of the vast majority of the people that the law should be respected and observed.
 '-I cannot but think that in some quarters there is a nlisconception of the position of the government of India. They have I verify believe, the support of the law-abiding citi- zens Of India
 Ut cannot be fairly said that we have abused this power Indeed we are sometimes criticized for not hav- ing sufficiently exercised it and I readily admit that we sought to avoid action which might either be niscon- ceived or nais-epresented as too se- were or as provocative"

Washington, Jan. 30-How profit able is prohibition, from the stand point of operating law enforcement organizations?
 This absorbing query, asked by those who sometimes doubt the claim that it is profitab1e-aJlitho ough admit ting freely that prohibition prohibits -is answered by prohibition officials.
 Figures that speak for themselves, and were obtained from the official record of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes. showed disappointment on this point:
 Earlier forecasts were that prohfbi- ton enforcement costs would be offset by tax collections or other sources of revenue from violators. In truth, the estimated amount of assessm ents, taxes and penalties, imposed in 10000 cases, amounted to $57,500,000. Of this sum only $3,000,000 has actually been collected by the Government

 RUSSIAN WOMEN

Moscow, Jan. 30-Madame A1exan- dra KoIlanty, one of the leaders of the Russian feminist movement, charges, in an article she has written in the Pravda, that petty bourgeois1e narrowness and superstition are pre- venting women having the voice they merit in the Soviet government.
 She says that no woman was a vot- ing delegate in the Communist confer ence preceding the Ninth All-Russian Soviet Congress held here and that only 24 women were included among the 2,000 voters at the Congress, de- spite the fact that 50 per cent. of Rus sian voters are women.
 Shs alleges that women are very active in politics but less than three per cent. of the membership Of town Soviots is represented hy women, and in the village Soviets they have only two-tenths of one per cent. of the membership.
 Furthermore, she states there are only five women members in the Cen tral Executive Committee of 900 which is Russia's chief governing body.
 Madame Kol1anty declares that such discrimination against women greatly retards the re-eStablishment Of agriculture in which peasant women play an important part.

London, Jan. 30-Che Court of App peal has just decided that Leonid Krassin, the Soviet trade agent in England, issnot entitled to diplomatic immunity which he claimed in a suit brought against him by a Yorkshire textile firm to recover the sum equiv aalent to about S190, ,000.
 Krassin asserted that his recognf- ton by the British Foreign Office as' official agent of the Soviet government under the provisions of the Russo British Trade Agreement constituted diplomatic immunity.
 Lord Justice Banlces, in dismissing Krassin's appeal, said the Russian had not established that he was rec ognized in any capacity other than trade agent and that this did not pro- tect him from civil process.
 It is understood that the case will be taken to the House of Commons. which is the ultimate tribunal of ap- neal
