Prohibition
Politics Is
Explained
Senators, Congressman and
Political Leaders Blamed
Rather Than Heads of
Enforcement Bureau.
Bryan Favored Haynes
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Governor
pnchots repeated criticisms of the
administration for failure to enforce
fne prohibition law as effectively as
the Pennsylvania governor thinks it
ought to be enforced, indicates that
the church people behind him are de-
termined to keep it up until they get
aetion of one kind or another.
In the first criticism, Governor
Hinchot said that the trouble was
politics" Most Of Washington
thinks he is right. But it is the poll
ties of United States senators, mem.
bers Of congress and party leaders
throughout the country. rather than
the politics of the persons In Wash
ington directly concerned with en-
forcing prohibition.
These persons are three: The first,
Roy Haynes, who Is the prohibition
commissioner. AS to him, nobody
charges politics. The Anti-Saloon
league Is perfectly satisfied with his
good faith and zeal. He tries his
best to enforce the law and nobody
has ever charged that he practices
politics. In point of fact, at the time
Mr. Haynes was appointed by the late
President Harding, your correspond
erit was told by some enraged re-
publican leaders from Ohio, that 1t
was wholly without consideration OF
the republican organization in that
state. Further than this, your cor
respondent was told the only rec
ommendation of Haynes made to
Harding came from William Jennings
BRYAN. and that it was on Mr.. Bry-
ans recommendation wholly, or GER
tainly chiefly, that Harding made the
appointment. So there Is no politics
in the case Of Haynes.
Above Mr.. Haynes is Internal Rev
enue Commissioner David K. Blair,
and above Mr.. Blair is Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon. These two men
are Mr.. Haynes superiors. Mr..
Haynes says that he is not interfercd
with by his superiors, either because
of politics, or because Of any other
consideration.
. The truth is, IL you move about
among republican senators and con-
gressmen here in Washington. you
will hear several times day that
Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Mellon in all their
official actions covering not only pro-
hibition but tax collections and other
functions are less susceptible to po-
litical influences than the republican
senators and congressman think they
ought to be. 1t is notorious among
republican senators and congressman
that Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Mellon have
retained in their departments liter

NEW YORK, July 28.-Dun'sA
weekly review OF business says:
Expansion in July Is not ex.
pectcd. yet the volume Of trade in
many Of its departments Ia above
normal fer this season. A little un-
certainty as to the financial return
in the agricultural section from
wheat and other leading crops
caused hesftancy in some lines, and
it is doubtful ii In any recent year
SO much has depended on the out
come OF the cotton crop, which Is
now at the critical period Of its
growth, yet larger acreage and
generally favorable condition In
most sections up to this time seems
clearings for July to date exceed
those OF a year ago by 81 per
cent.
1.-THE loaded car movement for the
latest week continues much heavier,
exceeding very largely the move
raent a year ago. Wholesale com.
modify prices still show predomi-
nance of declines as they did a year
ago, and at this time in 1921. Re-
ports from various trades indicate
that seasonable merchandise is beings
well absorbed and that relatively
small stocks are in retailers hands.
Labor in practically every part OF
the country is fully employed at
high wages. which provides assur-
ance of steady demand for all
classes of commodities. Dry goods
buyers are now numerous in the
wholesale markets, but are operat-
ing with conservatism.
The iron and steel market shows
some signs of betterment, but some
new business is being placed despite
expectations of lower prices due to
a further concession in pig iron.

Legislation to Prevent Sale of
Worthless Stocks Being
Drawn by Untermyer.

Stringent Federal regulations to
protect investors from stock market
and the sale of worth
less securities will be sought in the
Sixty-eighth Congress, it was an
nounced here today.
Legislation to this end will be
drawn by Samuel Untermyer, New
York lawyer, who will cooperate
with the Peoples Legislative Serv-
ice, with which Senator La Fol.
lette of Wisconsin is prominently
identified.
In a letter to Basil Manly Of
Washington, director Of the legisla.
tive service, Untermyer declared
that American investors lost more
than half billion dollars last year
in buying fraudulent securities, and
that the need of regulatory legisla.
ton had been doubly. emphasized
by recent brokerage failures in
New York.
