SAYS RUM TANGLE
. PASSING |RR|TANT'
Franklin Thinks 12-MiIe
Search Limit Would End In
; ternationaI Controversy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NE WYORk, July 11.-If England
could see her way clear to approve
a twelve-mile limit within which
American government craft could
search alien vessels suspected of rum
running the troublesome question of
foreign liners bringing liquor stores
to this country would be cleared up.
In the opinion of P. A. S. Franklin.
president of the International Mer-
camille Marine. y
Returning to Europe today on the
Majestic, he branded as a farce the
present situation in which the Amer
lean authorities are confiscating all
but medicinal liquor brought into
port by foreign liners.
We are in the same position as
the government itself" he declared.
The traffic in liquor is going on in
the United States today much the
same as before the Volstead act and
the government is getting no reve-
nue. from it. Eastbound passengers
with the result that the steamships
are carrying as much liquor as they
would If they attempted 10 handle 1t
over the bar, and yet are getting no
revenue from that source whatever"
What Ambassador JuSSerand termed
"a transitory irritant," in speaking
of the situation between France and
Great Britain, Mr.. Franklin said, seemed
to summarize the feeling in England
over Americas seizure of rum.
The English, he said. were irritated
by the immigration quota law, the
handling of immigrants at Ellis Is
land and denial of the right to carry
liquor on their own ships asserting
that they did not think the United
States was showing the courtesy that
should be extended by one nation to
another.
Declaring that the shipping situa-
tion still was unfortunate and would
remain so until the Ruhr complex
was Strengthened out. Mr.. Franklin
announced that the White Star liner
Homeric would be turned into an oil
burner next fall, and that he hoped
the service contemplated by the l. NJ.

cisco next autumn would provide a
greater producer Of revenue than the

ANARCHY PREVAILS
IN CHINESE AFFAIRS
Country in Chaotic Condition.
Fear of BoISheVism
Expressed.
BY CLIFFORD FOX,

By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright, 1928.
PEk1NG, July 11.-Anarchy in mild
form already is prevalent in Chinese
government affairs here and fears
%re being expressed that the door has
heen opened for the entry of boil
i evism throughout the country. Dav-
ten, head of the soviet mission to
licking, already has taken advantage
"f the opportunity to issue statements
through the Chinese press that China
. experiencing all of the same trou-
bles that affected Russia before the
collapse of the czarist regime and
that the Chinese people are UNDER
going the same sufferings as did the
Russian peasantry before the anti
czarist outbreak.
Briefly summarized, the situation
here today, which borders on the
chaotic, is as follows:
Ii 4uan-Hung, who was deposed
as president, is fugitive in Tientsin.
where he is endeavoring to bring
about an aff1liation with DIR. Sun
Yat-Sen in Canton.
Parliament is hopelessly divided
into rival political factions.
Marshal Tsao Kun, powerful Chihii
val ioiu )" no dSI1lTeS TO the preSl-
dency, is seeking an alliance either
with Gen. Chang Tso-Lin. war lord
Of Manchuria, or with Dr. Sun, south
ern Chinese leader.
Afiliation by Tsao Kun with either
Chang Tso-Lin or DR.. Sun means loss
of the support of Gen. Wu Pei Flu.
who controls China's biggest and best
equipped military force.
Three cabinet members whose
designations were accepted long ago
and whose legal standing is ques-
tionable, are endeavoring to func-
ton as a temporary government in
the absence of any other responsible
authority.
Military and civilian servants of
the government are threatening trou-
BILE unless they are paid salaries long
in arrears.
Various provinces. although they
have collected taxes from the people,
are refusing. to pay over the shares
due to the so-called central govern
ment" in Peking.
Chinese lower classes in Tientsin
and Shanghai are reported much ex-
cited over bolshevik propaganda
which has appeared, but no serious
trouble has yet been reported from
either place. Davtien. the soviet
envoy here, refuses to make any per-
sonal statements to newspaper rep
resentatives, but issues all of his
comments through a press bureau
maintained in Peking.

WALL STREET HAS
 BEST APPEARANCE .OF REGENT YEARS
Million Share Day Enjoyed, With Substantial Ad-
 VanCeS In Prices
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor Of New York Commercial (LenSed Wire To Tine Age-HcraId)


 NEW YORK, Oct S.-Wall street had million share day "Wednesday with substantial advances in prices. It had the. best apearance any market has had for many days, NeVertheless 1t was a technical market with the advances largely due to short cover ing.
 Wall street is becoming convinced at last that the country is on sound economic and financnal basis. mere has been some seasonal let-down m business, and in certain instances little more than that, but there has been no real depression, and there will be none.
 The situation abroad is not reas- surfing, but the business community has been inclined to give too much attention to these foreign devolop- ments. There was a time when they would overshadow domestic affairs, but that relationship has changed for the present at least. It Is just as well to keep in mind the fact that with our present labor suyyly we have about all we can 6o to take care of our domestic wants, and as the situation now exists, our domestic af- fairs overshadow foreign conditions.
 Keep in mind also that the country is consuming more than ever before and producing more, and that labor was never so prosperous, and It IS because of the tremendous buying power available that we are keeping going and we are likely to continue to do so. High wages react bene- ficially upon the community as long as they can be absorbed in the sell ing price of the product, but it does not necessarily follow that high wages spell prosperity.
 One cannot lift himself up by his own bootstraps. There must be some Fundamental basis for prosperity, such as good crops, or some urgent demand for industrial activity, such an active building program, but the fact exists that labor is well paid, buying power is good, and there is no depression in sight.
