BRITISH LIQUOR EXPORTS
SHOW DROP IN VOLUME

LON DON, June a. Although
British distillers may be shipping a
greater portion Of their product to
destinations from which it eventu.
ally finds its way to surreptitious
routes into the United States, the
total volume of exports Of liquor
from the British Isles is less than
it was In pre-war days.
Statistics compiled by the British
Board of Trade show that in 1913
total of 10,O89,937 gallons of
spirits was exported from Great
Britain to various other countries.
In 1923 only 7,209,39o gallons were
exported, a decline of 2.SSO,547
The significant feature Of the
liquor shipment statistics from the
standpoint Of the United States,
however, is that new markets for
British intoxicants apparently have
opened up during recent years and
that these markets are located
chiefly in territory adjacent or
easily accessible to the United
States. -

Washington, July 22.-The Re-
publicans are better players at the
game of politics than are the Demo-
Gratis. They seldom miss a trick,
unless the lay of the cards is abso-
lutely against them. They not only
count their trumps and keep track
of every play that is made, but they
often anticipate moves several leads
ahead and thus are able to fatten
their score.
Witness the manner in which the
Congressional Record, official publ
cation of Congress, was manipulated
so as to provide free medium for
the distribution of Republican cam
paign material:
Prior to the adjournment of Con-
gress on June 7, a resolution from
the joint committee on printing was
adopted, providing that the last is
sue of IT, Record. for the current
session of Congress, should be pub
lished mot later than Tuesday, June
"a, 1924"
Then, quite casually, Senator
George. H. Moses Of New Hampshire
asked for and received permission to
extend his remarks in the Record"
This "leave" is permission to have
published in the record statements
not made on the floor of Congress
or speeches or documents by others
than members of Congress. It is q

without dispute or discussion, and
was accorded Moses without objec-

With these two moves made, the
cards were all stacked for the little
game ahead.
The Republican . convention at
Cleveland was convened on Tuesday
June 10. Congress was adjourned,
and no more "leaves to print" could
be granted.
On Wednesday, June 10, following
the Republican convention, Moses
submitted to the Public Printer, as

which permission had been granted,
the Republican keynote speech of
Theodore E. Burton. It was duly in
serted in the Record for that date.
This publication in the Record
makes Burton's keynote speech
