CHURCH SCORES DRY LAW
Dutch Reformed Synod Calls Wine
ssGift of God"

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, May 10.
prohibition is condemned as a
wrong method for combating drunk
enness by the Synod of the Dutch Re-
formed Church of South Africa, which
holds that wine is a gift of God
which no one should deSecrate." The
synod says: The Scriptures allow the
individual to abstain, as is seen in
the case of the Rechabites and Rom
ans xiv and 1St Corinthians, viii,
but never mention prohibition as we
now see it."
In SO far as local option aims at
prohibition, the synod is against it,
but declares that it does not fall
within the scope of an ecclesiastical
meeting to give any further opinion
on a measure of a political charac-
ter.
Prof. Kuyper, who attended the
meeting as a delegate of the Reform
ed Church of the Netherlands, main
tained that the prohibition movement
originated with the heather, and that
such sects as the GnoSticS were pro-
nounced prohibitionistS.

GERMAN MINERS SPURN
ARBITRATION PROPOSAL
Plan for Strike Settlement Failed
to Meet Miners Demand
for Overtime.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOCHUM, Germany, May 19.-The
four miners unions have voted to
reject the arbitration proposals re-
Gently made in Berlin as means for
settling the dispute between the min
ers and the mine owners. The rejec-
tion was voted because the proposals
failed to accord the workers pay for
overtime. The mine operators will
confer today on the situation. The
belief is that they will favor the
arbitration proposals, which were
rendered through the mediation of
Minister Of Labor Brauns, and that
the lockout will continue.
While the miners agreed to accept
the covering schedule regulating
wages they are holding out for
recognition of their demands for
overtime. They assert that they are
willing to work in order to enable
Germany to carry out the obligations
imposed by the "Micum" accord and
accuse the operators of arbitrarily
preventing them from working. The
miners unions warn members against
y~lding to communistic propaganda,
which is declared to he attempting
to incite lawlessness throughout the
Ruhr basin.

BRAND MAY GET POST
No Immediate Change Contem-
plated in Ruhr.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.


News. Copyright, 1924.
PARIS, May 19.-The political un-
certainty which marked the end of
last week has suddenly disappeared
and there is every reason to believe
that Edouard Herriot, the radical
leader, will form the new govern
ment, even without the participation
of the socialists. NJ. Herriot probably
will keep for himself the portfolio
of foreign affairs and will have the
following Radicals and Republicans
des Gauches among his ministers:
Paul Painleve, minister of national
defense; either Demonizie or Pietri,
minister of finance, and Daladier,
Myer, Violette, Rameil, Marting,
Berard, Simon. Paisant and Albert.
BRAND May Decline.
Some portfolio may be offered Aris-
tide BRAND but it is doubtful
whether he will accept The Social
lists, though refusing to participate
in the government, will support the
government. thereby insuring a ma
jority. NJ. Millerand will almost GER
tainly be forced to resign the preSi-
dency of the republic and Doumergue
or Painleve will be elected in his
place.
The policies of the new government,
which at best can be realized only in
part, will be roughly as follows:
1. There will be no change in the
Ruhr until there is a general settlement
on the basis of the experts report.
2. An attempt will he made to reach
a solution of the interallied war debt
problem by compensating the debts
with bonds.
VIII Reduce Army.
s. French military service to be re-
duced to IS months. thus cutting the
army to half, but only after an inter-
mediate transitic period of a year or
two.
4. A general political amnesty per-
mitting re-entry into active politics of
the great radical leader Joseph Gail
lauX.
5. The Vatican embassy to be abol-
ished, thus breaking off official relations
with the holy see.
S. Recent DEGREES making Latin COM
pulsory in secondary education to be
abolished.
Z. A return to the electoral system
Called "Scrutin d'arondisement"-
that is to say. a simple majority sys-
tenn, with balloting for candidates
who, on the first vote fail to receive
an absolute majority.
To Reduce Officials.
8. Administrative reform. combin-
ing reduction of the number of state
officials with increases of salaries.
3. Severe measures against fiscal
evasion, including an attempt to en-
list the help of the league of nations
t. prevent countries like Switzerland
and Holland from sheltering and pro-
tecting the maneuverS of tax dodgers.
10. a new social insurance law.
II. Recent economy DEGREES to be
abolished, and all state monopolies
maintained.
IL. Some unpopular indirect taxes
will be suppressed and also the busi-
ness turnover tax, but not for the
present the recent 20 per cent general
tax increase.
There is also talk of a capital levy
but not of farm property.
