the United Press.
THE recent raising of the restric-

more than 16 percent alcohol does
not mean abandonment of prohibi-

" temporary expedient to gain rev.

over its present financial difficulties.
Total prohibition, on the American
plan, will be restored as soon as the
administration can get along with

that these products are designed

small number Of people who under

approve his action. irrespective Of
their party convictions.
While most Russians fear and dis
Ike Germany and have a dread Of
German EXPLOITATION. they under
stand the Germans and their meth

great respect for their organizing

For a long time. ever since il

They Will also view with q certain

It is obvious that even if the SO

The peasants have already suffer
