Ocean Traveller FOreSeeS
Shipping BOa1dDi11iCuItieS

To the Editor: Months ago the
Munson' Steamship Line. plying be-
tween New York and South Ameri-
can ports. made the announcement
that its vessels would operate buffet
service for the benefit OF American
travellers. This came at the end Of
a long controversy as to whether the
line. operating United States Ship
ping Board vessels. should be stran-
gled by foreign competition or equip
its ships with saloons and retain the
trade.
Prior to this the British Lamport
and Holt Line, with It's triangular
service from New York to Buenos
Aires and other South American
ports. thence to Southampton, had
cornered the ocean trade with its
liquor laden vessels.
The announcement Of the Munson
Line was as public as modern pub
fcity could make It. Now objections
are beginning to boil. The Busch
family of brewers Of st. Louis cite it
as an open violation Of the Volstead
act and demand enforcement OF the
law. Chairman Lasker of the Ship
ping Board defends himself by saying
1t is the only way to hold the
enormous business which has been
created.
For a brief interval the Anti-SalOon
League OF America backed the Busch
people 1t was very brief. Then came
the assertion by the prohibitionists
that tho Busch outfit, on the strength
Of close friendship with the Hohen-
zollerns, was seeking to put German
passenger ships on a more secure
footing. Furthermore. the anti-saloon
people charge the Euschs with ruse
to effect the repeal OF the Volstead
act, the latter which Adolphus Busch
admits.
A mighty big problem faces the
Shipping Board. which has acted in
the commercial interest CT the coun-
try. Obviously, a prohibition nation
is evading It's laws when it sanctions
equipment of it's vessels with buffet
service.
The AntiSaloon League of America
IS in a bad position because one of
the charges made against the Busch
people is a serious one and no less
difficult to prove. The second charge
Busch admits, therefore justifying
their own natural and thoroughly le-
gitimate contention.
If the Shipping Board continues to
exist it VIII be through the method
which it has adopted. If it listens to
Busch 1t will probably give rise to
an organized effort to repeal the
Volstead act If it hearkens to the

LONDON, July 6.-Suggestions for

This announcement was made by
the chief justice at a dinner given in
his honor by members of the British
bench and bar Wednesday night.
The former President was enter
tanned in the middle temple, an I'M

have been previously received and en-

He was given a tremendous ovation,
when he arose to reply to the greeting
of Lord Birkenhead, the lord chancel-
+lor, who occupied a place in the Brit

The exPresident referred to the
congestion of the American courts, a
matter which has been giving him
much concern. This congestion, he
said, is worst in the district courts,
where it amounts almost to an inter

And this policy, which contemplates

of President Harding's sensational
demand for return of patents and
other rights sold to the Chemical

During an informal talk on the

Forest Head Has
18OOOO,OOO-Acre
Farm to Attend
BY FRANK j. TAYLOR,
Times staff Correspondent.


WASHINGTON. July 5.--It's a
great life, being chief forester OF the
United States. All he has TO do, when
he gets up in the morning. is look
after his $50, 000, 00O-acre farm. He
grows trees on 5000 900 acres, just
as Farmer Jones grows wheat. The
other 80, 900 000-acre trifle he uses for
grazing lands.
The chief forester has nothing to do
but see none OF the 5000 fires started
in your forests each year break away
and burn the whole works down. Then
he sees roads don't get closed, and
telephone wires aren't blown down.
When that's done all he has TO do
Is sell 100000 feet of lumber for a
million dollars each year, and fight in
sects which destroy trees and plant
new trees, and keep order among
recreationists, game hunters and other
outdoor folks. After that he can pro-
tect headwaters of streams and see
nobody steals your timber.
Oh. it's a great life Ask Chief For
ester William b. Greeley If it isn't
OF course, Chief Forester Greeley
has some help In running this huge
tree farm of yours. He has about
400 hired forestry hands. That par
cells the old farm out so one man has
only about 400. 600 acres to look after
Pretty soft for Greeley's men. what
with only 400, 900 acres of woodlot to
cover between sun-up and sun-up.
Your tree farm has been accumu-
lated by Mr. Greeley and his prede-
cessors In the forestry division of the
Agriculture Department in the last
twenty years. Almost every year they
add q little more to It, That's their
policy, to raise trees and sell them.
when they are grown and ripe. They
make those who cut the trees see that
new ones will grow in their places
If the chief forester, and those OF
his view, have their way, the Govern
ment would acquire 5000, 600 more
acres. of watershed and 1000 600 more
acres of lands, to reforest, in the East,
during the next ten years.
If they don't. and their opponents
win out, the present forest farm,
mostly out West. will be decreased,
by selling or leasing or giving 1t to
private hands for exploitation.s
Forestry Is a private industry, and
the Government shouldn't compete in
it," say Greeley opponents, when the
price of timber is high enough so it
pays to plant trees. private interests
will plant them"
"They won't, except under Govern
ment control" reply Gleeley's friends;
tree" growing is a longtime indus
try. Only the Government can af-
ford to do business on a fifty-year
turnover basis"

ASHVILLE, N. c., July 6.-Here's
a way to save a $430, 100000 coal
bill. May not be able to do it during
the present coal shortage. but it will
come in handy during a later one.
The trick is this:
Connect all the Southern states
with a super-power transmission sys-
tenn, harness the waters of the APP
palachian Mountains, and let the
floods do the work.
This scheme was declared practical
by United States Army and private
engineers here at the super-power
conference. They are asking Con-
gress to make a South Appalachian
super-power survey, just as 1T au-
thorized a survey Of the Washington
to- Boston project.
This system will permit cities to
abolish numerous and costly steam
plants. Water power. will take their
place.

GAY Parties i'm
French Embassy
Bring Protests
BY ROBERT TALLFY,
Times staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Protests
by irate neighbors over gay parties at
the home of Jules Henry. second sec
rotary Of the French embassy, at
hours when nobody but milkmen and
night watchmen were supposed to be
awake, have renewed the discussion
on the vast quantities of booze brought
into Washington by foreign diplomats.
Sounds Of tinding glasses. ccntraito
laughter and merry shouts issued from
the open windows OF NJ. Henry's home
at o'clock, amid voluble "a votre
sante's" and "a Ia votre's." 1t ap-
peared q good time was being hstd by
all. and then some.
Sleepy neighbors who complained
were informed by the police nothing
could be done as NJ. Henry's home was
technically foreign soil. He was en-
titled to diplomatic immunity and had
a right 10 stage a party and serve all
the sunshine OF France he darned
pleased. The Volstead law couldn't
touch him.
Statistics on the amount Of booze
brought into Washington under dip
lomatic immunity during the last year
are not available, according to w. E.
Stewart, chief Of the State Depart
ment's diplomatic bureau. No record
OF the total is kept-but the gallon
age. it is estimated, almost equals that
OF a city pumping station.
Booze OF many kinds Is plentiful
at nearly all the embassies and lega-
tons and is frequently served to
guests. Needless to say. foreign dip
lomats are the most popular boys in
town The wine cellars of some Of
them, especially those from continan.
tai Europe, contain stocks valued at
a small fortune.
The only time the State Department
has ever interfered was when It qui-
city asked Boris Bakmeteff. the late
Russian ambassador, TO reduce his
imports of liquor.
