Some facts" which the wet organiza-
tions did not include in their declarations
at their "Face-the- Facts Conference" IN
Washington in January are here men
toned. Among these are the crimes of
violence, melted, promoted or participated
in by representatives OF the manufacture
or sale of beer, the accounts of which
were filling the newspapers at the time of
the wet conference.
Mr.. Macdonald has gone directly to the
brewers themselves for the facts which
make up a large part of his article. He
cites Mr.. Busches' letter to the President
giving the number of brewers now max
ing strong beer as the reasons why all
should be allowed to make it, and asks a
representative of the Busch firm, where
could you find stronger argument than
this letter? :. :. In effect they (the
brewers) say to the government, You
might just as we'll give us the right to
make alcoholic beer, because we are go
ing to make it any way in spite of you.'
The brewers representative answers
that such things never happened before
prohibition. You never heard" he said,
''of brewer being charged with bribing
an official, local, state or national, before
the adoption of the Eighteenth Amend
ment." But Mr.. Macdonald is familiar
with the facts brought out before the
United States Senate Judiciary in 1918-l9,
of which he here reminds his readers,
and goes for further information to men,
bers of the wet conference.
Working the WINNERS for Money
He finds the brewers are expecting that
if they get % per cent" beer back it will
be sold as it is in Quebec, and as he has
been to Quebec he can give the facts
about the rubber sandwich" that is sold
to the customer, to comply with the re-

look for the brewers to act
differently in the future
from what they have in the
past. If it is light beer to-
day, it will be heavy beer
tomorrow, and whisky and
the saloon the next day;
and all the forces OF the
government could not con-
troll it.

The student body of Illinois Wesleyan,
Bloomington, ILL.,. adopted resolutions on
April 80 pledging to do all in their power
to bring about more perfect enforcement
of the prohibition law.

EASTER UNHlNDERED
Devout Attend Services in Heavy

Wasted Figures of Poor Illuminat-

RY the Arociated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, April So.-Easter (under
the Julian calendar5 was celebrated
quietly throughout Russia Sunday.
Although heavy snowstorms prevailed
in Moscow and Leningrad, great
throngs of the faithful assembled in
the churches at midnight and OBJ
served the holy day in traditional
Russian orthodox fashion, without in
terference from the a&ti-relgious
bodies. the atheistic organizations of
young communists confning their ac-
tivities this year to their clubs.
The few Americans in Moscow
struggled through a binding snow
storm to attend services at one of the
smaller churches where Patriarch
went to the Cathedral of Christ the
Savior, which is controlled by the
so-called living church. The congre-
cations at the old orthodox churches
were noticeably larger than those
under the domination of the living
church.
To Moscow's poor. Easter brought
no new happiness, for with it came
renewed snow and cold. Their suffer
ings are intensified by high prices for
clothing and the lack of housing ac-
commodations. Long lines gathered
in the deep snow outside the crowded
churches bearing candles, crucifixes
and ikons, their melancholy, wasted
figures Illuminated by the Pickering
tapers standing out like phantoms in
the midnight snow.
The tongues of the great bells in
the churches of the Kremlin were
strangely mute, but hundreds of
chimes in other parts of the city
rang out while the devout poor knelt
After the patriarch had given his
blessing the crowds made their way
to their darkened homes. carrying
their lighted candles and sprigs of
willow, which had been sprinkled
with holy water.
