 Prohibition

Winona Lake. Ind, July 1s.-The eyes of the world are on the United States and the whole world is asking if America will make good on prohi- hition. Rev. r. Scott Mcbride declared today at the conference of the World League Against Alcoholism. MT. Me- Bride is general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league of America, and has official conl ectirl with the World league.
 If we make good" said Dr. Mc- Bride, "the world will see in the United States demonstration that will convince even the most skeptcal nation that prohibition, economically. socially morally and politically, is the greatest achievement recorded in the history of the nations. Before the eyes of the world it Is our solemn duty to present such demonstration ss will win for prohibition in this generation. The United States will give prohibition to the world in this generation. or by its failure hold back the world from the benefits of prohi- bition for century or more.

White, gave out the information that some of the i boasted foreign money. which the world liquor organization claimed to have. was in Ohio in fulf1lment of the promise given 10 the public year previous that they would send the money from Europe to help the vets in the United States. When we get into the referendum fights this fall In Massachusetts and Michigan, or in any other state. this same wet foreign money will come up and face us again.
 T find no fault with the foreign countries using their money to pay their honest war debts obligated to this country by them during the war, but I emphatically protest against the use of foreign money within bounds of the United States of America to break down our constitution and to trample our flag in the dust. If they have money enough to support the vets in their fights against our gov ernment, they ought 10 get together enough money somehow to pay their debts 10 us.

nounce Plan to Form
Committee.

New York, April 3O.-Choice of a
generalismo of the Smith presidential
campaign forces is expected today fol
lowing announcement of the decision
TO appoint New York state commit
tee composed of native sons of virtu'
ally every state in the union.
The governors political advisers
yesterday announced the plan to name
committee but ADJOURNED withou;
choosing chairman who by virtue of
his position would be leader of the
Smith adherents. The names OF
Franklin ID. Roosevelt. BainbridgC
Colby and Frank l.. Polk were prom
inently mentioned for the post. All
three. by reason of their connection
with the Wilson administration and
their reputed aloofness from Tam
many. are considered highly available
because of the Favorable effort they
are expected to have on Wilson sup
porters. Mr.. Roosevelt. although not in
good health. is considered the most
likely candidate of the three.
The conference marked the initil-
tion VI tut liTSt OrSuIlZeu elliott on
behalf of the governors presidential
aspiration. In addition to Mr.. Smith.
those who attended included Norman
+. Mack. national committeeman from
New York: George 4. Brennan. Demo
cratic leader from Illinois. and Surro-
gate James A. Foley. son-in-law of
the late Charles +. Murphy.
In choosing chairman outside of
Tammany the governors advisers
were said to be following the advice
of the late Tammany leader who. in
tentative plans for the pre-convention
campaign had made it clear that his
would not lead the move
ment but merely play its role in a
statewide campaign. The purely po-
litical aspect of the campaign will be
handled by Mr.. Mack.
Governor Smith. after attending to-
day the conference which will an
point the committees chairman, will
return to Albany.
