Believe me-" the former premier

not here. You will stand by it. But
there are other nations that have
given it up; there are nations that
have attempted to give il up and I'M
less the nations that have tried and
have been brought through many
trials. stand by it, democracy in the
world may disappear"
Reiterating his plea for Americas
help in Europe, Mr.. Lloyd George told
how he had come from a continent

Europe also will be redeemed and
mankind will march steadily, clearly

PREMIER GREAT BRITAIN
.PINCHOT PEEvED
over MELLON NOTE
POST HASTES REPLY

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 3O-Gover-
nor Pinchot in letter tonight to
Secretary Of the Treasury, Mellon,
characterized as "a defense of
things as they are" the secretary's
reply to the governors letter Sun
day characterizing the federal pro-
hibition enforcement system. What
is needed, he said, is mot a defense
of present evils, but the determine
ton to abate them, followed by eff
fective action. Mr.. Melons letter
was received by the governor today.
1T is a matter of sincere regret
to me-. the governor said, that
your answer to my letter is merely
an effort to justify the present fede-
raj system of enforcement, which
all America knows to be defective,
inefficient and a breeder of corrup-
ton"
Governor Pinchot's letter tonight
followed by only a few hours the
receipt of Secretary Melons an
swer to one Mr.. Pinchot sent the
secretary Sunday night. In his
first letter the governor charges
what he termed "the breakdown" of
the federal enforcement to the fede-
raj permit system and declared the
state government was handicapped
by failure of the federal government
to use all it's powers. Mr.. Mellon,
replying last night, said the COVER
nor's statements are mot founded
on facts.
In his letter tonight the governor
asked the secretary to refuse to re-
issue permits for the operation of
plants where the laws had been
broken and declared that there was
no provision of law compelling the
Treasury department to re- issue
permits after year to applicants
who are admittedly law breakers"
Il have no change to make in any
statement contained in my. previous
letter. the governor concluded.
THE facts are as I there set them
forth. The law abiding citizens OF
PENNSYLVANIA are profoundly alarm
ed and anxious for relief, the state
administration is doing its level
best. If the present situation repre-
sents the best the Treasury depart
ment can do, then my previous sug-
gestion that the enforcement ser
vice should be placed directly I'M
der the president has greater force
than l supposed when L made it."
