THE AMERICAN ISSUE

based on misconceptions and fear, not on
reason or desire for better law enforce
ment
I'VE appeal to the Congress to give
favorable consideration to this and other
laws which are necessary to make the
Eighteenth Amendment effective through
out the nation.
1--WE call the attention of the Justice
Department to the fact that those district
attorneys and judges who refuse TO use
the full power of the law to stop liquor
lawlessness are encouraging and not sup
pressing law violations.
1--WE protest against the continued en-
ployment in public office of those gov
eminent employees who are violating the
law by purchasing liquor from bootleg
gers. We especially urge executive heads
OF departments to require obedience to as
we'll as enforcement of law. Eight hun
dred thousand federal employees obeying
the law will furnish mighty and a whole
some example to the nation

ONTARIO PREMIER FIRM
Refuses to Betray People, Who
Voted to Retain Ontario's Act,
by Yielding to Local
Option" Plea

At meeting of 500 members of the
Liberal Conservative Association of On
tario, Premier Ferguson declared that
he would resist all efforts either within
or without his party to thwart the will
of the people of the province as express
ed in the vote for the continuation of the
Ontario temperance act October % last.
A resolution proposing government
control in those rulings that desire it,
caused pandemonium in an otherwise
harmonious meeting, says a story in the
Christian Science Monitor, and the last
hope of those in favor of government
control" was shattered by the firm stand
taken by the Premier of Ontario.

That Police Head Will Serve Three Years More

General Smedley D. Butler will remain
as director of public safety of Philadel-
phia for three more years. This an

Mayor Kendrick following his confer
ence with General Butler and after the
mayor had sent special delivery letter
to President Coolidge requesting an au-
dience to make final arrangements ex-
tending the marine generals leave which
expires January 7.
General Butler, in an announcement to
his inspectors and heutenants, said:

years. Your mayor has lifted the
standard. He has taken the Roman
eagle and marched out in front 20

Beginning the frsA of January all war

be removed from the German breweries

looking forward to old-time drinking, and
the people to old-time effects. But there

doctors to lead the campaign.

PAY FOR LAUNDRY WORK

Here is an item for wet propagandists.
Prohibition costs the county in which
Pittsburgh is situated $4,000 a year for
laundry work for the juvenile probation
office, so says Probation Officer Black in
the Pittsburgh Gazette Times. How does
it happen? Easy. With the coming of
prohibition the officers at the county jail
informed the probation officer that they
had scarcely enough prisoners to do the
work in the Jail and could not furnish him
with enough help to do the laundry work
for the probation office. And this is why
the probation commissioner asks the
county to make transfer of funds.

SEE HOLIDAY DROUGHT
Chicago Tribune Tells Sad Story to
Thirsty; Coast Guard Blamed
for Terrible" Dry Spell

Thirsty Chicagoans are warned by the
Chicago Daily Tribune of November SO
that the prospects for obtaining holiday
booze in that city are not good. Intox-
icating liquor available will be at almost
prohibitive prices. The Tribune attempts
to explain the cause OF the rise in price
as follows:
In the first place the citizenry and
the law enforcing bodies of the city
have risen i'll wrath against the beer
runners and the beer runners conf
petition that has led to killings.
There is yet another more interest
ing reason. 1t seems that the reve-
nue. cutters assigned to rum row off
the New York and New Jersey
coasts are inclined to be unreason-
able now that they arc provided
with a new feet of speedy craft.
One of Chicago's largest importers
returned from a trip to Boston, New
York and Philadelphia yesterday
and reported importing machinery
in terrible condition.
And it was only few days ago that
the Chicago Tribune reported that the

and detectives assigned to watch
such places to arrest every disorderly
and intoxicated person they see.
Dive-keepers and criminals in general

that General Butler was about to be re-

leave the city, and no doubt many of
them who thought they could stick it out

years more of Butler and give up the

lantic coast had failed utterly.
The Tribune is becoming temperamen-
tai. One day it sees booze a-penty for
all who want il, and the next it paints
gloomy picture for the thirsty This,
however, applies to its news columns
only The Tribune still stays consist
emily wet in the editorial page. One
thing is certain, and that is that Chicago
will be infinitely drier this holiday seas
on than it would be were the open sa-
looms operating as they did before ma
tonal prohibition became effective.

BELGIUM IS MAKING PROGRESS
Federation of Abstainers Has
Brought Number of Other Or
CARNATIONS to It's Standard
CDR. Robert Hercod, European Ameri-
can Issue Correspondent

can Issue Correspondent
1t is now four years since the Fedora
ton of Belgian Abstinence Societies held
its first yearly congress- The congress
which was held at Antwerp October Is
and 20, 1924, gave evidence that the tenn
perance movement has made real progress
i'll Belgium. 1t is true that Antwerp, the
headquarters of the Catholic Abstinence
Federation, Sobrietas, is more promising
territory than Brussels, the meeting place
OF the preceding congresses.
The Abstaners' Federation had Sc
cured as allies several pedagogic and So
cial hygiene societies, among them the
Red Cross, Mental. Hygiene League,
Pedagogic Society, and the Belgian
Teachers National Federation.
As in the previous years, DR.. Max
Boulenger, secretary of the central office
of Research Against Alcoholism, pre-
scented report on the enforcement and
results OF the law enacted August %,
1919, which forbids the sale of distilled
liquor for consumption on the premises.
1t is shown that the consumption of dis
titled liquor remains at about half of
what it was before the war. Thus the
law continues to prove itself effective.
The dark side of the picture is the strik-
ing increase in the consumption of beer
which, amounting i'll 1923 to 223 liters
per head, exceeds the pre-war figures. The
consumption of wine also has increased.
This is a serious menace to the progress
OF temperance reform in Belgium
Big Subjects Discussed
The principal subjects discussed at the
Antwerp Congress were the fight against
alcoholism in the colonies, and alcohol
and the school. The first subject was
dealt with in a searching manner by var
ious speakers, among others the Countess
Carton de Wharf, wife of the former
prime minister, and Governor Julien of
Paris. In the discussion it was pointed
out that it is illogical to forbid alcohol to
the negroes while permitting it to the
whites. These speakers contended for a
law that would prohibit it for all
The morning devoted to the schools
was especially interesting. The various
reports established once more the fact
that the school, that is the child, is the
great hope of temperance reform. The
program of the congress included further
a public meeting at which prohibition in
the United States was discussed
An exhibit in the interest of temper
ance and social hygiene was also feature
of the congress. The congress was or
gained by Mr.. Verlat and presided over
by Dr. Piernes, both of Antwerp Dele
gates were present from France, Holland,
Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland.

Executive Committee of Anti-Saloon
League Given Audience With
President and Atty. Gen1
SPEAK FOR CRAMToN BILL
Urge It's Enactment as Remedy for
Correcting Weak Places in the
Present Law

The Executive Committee of the Anti
Saloon League of America met in Wash
ington, Wednesday, November %, to
formulate plans for tightening prohibit
ton enforcement and to do what might
be done TO help enact the Cramton bill
into law
The committee adopted resolutions
which were presented to President Cool
idge and Attorney General Stone. The
President received the members of the
committee at the White House and gave
them every assurance that the power of
the government would be exercised to
make effective the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the enforcement law
One principal feature of the Cramton
bill provides for putting employees of
the prohibition enforcement department
under civil service. President Coolidge
in his message to Congress on December
3 recommended that civil service be ex-
tended to the prohibition enforcement
unit
The action of the Executive Committee
as presented to the President and Attor-
ney General follows:
The Jaw enforcement situation in the
nation demands the serious consideration
OF the Congress, the executive and judi
cial department of the government.
THE recent election, resulting in the
defeat of outstanding wet advocates in
both state and nation, and the refusal of
the American people TO respond to the
specior.; pleas OF wet propagandists for
personal liberty, is evidence that they
want more and better enforcement OF ma
tonal prohibition.
Divided Responsibility
I'VE call the attention. of Congress TO
the anomalous situation created by divided
responsibility in the enforcement of ma
tional prohibition. The large source of
supply for the bootlegger comes from the
rum snugeler and from industrial alcohol
diverted to beverage use. The coast
guard is hating the smuggler. The con-
troll of manufacture and the withdrawal
of industrial alcohol is not subject to the
prohibition enforcement department but
TO the revenue collectors. Six million gall
Ions of this industrial alcohol was used
last year to supply the illicit trade. Re-
duced to forty per cent. whisky, this pro-
vided 240,000,000 half pints of bootleg
liquor. 1t is impossible TO secure effec-
tive law enforcement against beverage in
toxcants without control of industrial al
cohol which is being diverted to beverage
uses. 1t is poor economy and bad policy
to divide responsibility for enforcement
over these two sources of supply for hq-
uor law violations.
The Cramton bill II. r. 6645. will
remedy this abnormal situation by uniting
the law enforcement work into one bu-
reau with a responsible head. 1t will also
place federal prohibition agents under
civil service. The proposed measure will
give greater protection to legitimate deal
ers in industrial alcohol by eliminating
those who are prohting by law violations
and who bring odium on their law-abid-
ing associates in the alcohol trade. The
propaganda circulated against this bill is
