(By Leased Wire to Age-Herald)
 LONDON, Oct. 24.-Premier Ramsay MacDonald's labor government has demanded of the Russian soviet that the c o m m uni s t international. headed by Gregory Zinoviev, immediately cease it's cam paign of subversive propa- ganda aimed at the overthrow of existing conditions in Eng land.
 The British note, which was delivered to M. Rakovsky, soviet representative in Lon- don, is the result of the discov- cry of letter to the British communist party, bearing Zin- oviev's signature, in which the British communists were or dered immediately to create communist nuclei "in all units of troops" particularly those quartered in large centers, and among munitions factory ern- ployes.
 "The military section of the British communist party" the letter continues, suffers from the lack of specialists. the future directors of the British re,l army" Russian leaders in London de- clare the letter is forgery.
 Recruit Staff
 Organization of a sort of general staff recruited from among the brainier communists in the British army is ordered by the letter. Former soldiers who have been converted to communism are possible recruits for such staff, it is suggested.
 Don't put this off to future mo- ment, which may be pregnant with events and find you unprepared," the letter warns. The British note en- closed a copy of the Zinoviev letter and demanded an immediate reply from Moscow.
 Delivery of the not to Rakovsky oc- cured Friday during the closing days ot hectic political campaign in which Mac. Donald is fighting for the life of his ministry against the two older parties. Conservatives and liberals have com bined in assailing the laborites with charges that Macdonald has been led by the extremists of his party into a dan gcrous conplacency toward the red doc trines of Moscow.
 Imposed Upon
 At the Soviet headquarters here, Rak- ovsky's secretary declared the Zinoviev letter to be forgery saying:
 Tt is most regrettablo that tho British foreign office has been imposed upon as we believe it has been. It IS terrible that an official institution has been so tricked. We do not object to misrepresentation from certain sections of the British press, but we do object strongly to this"
 After pointing out that Zinoviev's letter orders British communists to compel the ratification of the Anglo Soviet treaty, to organize the unemploy- ed. and to foster dissatisfaction in the army and navy in preparation for an

CANADIANS TO DRY SOURCE
 OF U. s. LIQUOR
Prohibition Leaders Ask Dominion To Check
 Rum Running

TORONTO, Oct. 24.-Returns
 from 0,522 sub-electiOp districts
 out of a total of 7,332 counted
 tonight show a "dry" majority of
 39,870 in the Toronto liquor pie
 biscite. The vote was 541 ,OO3 for
 continuation of the Ontario tenn
 perance act and 5O1 ,514 for govern
 ment control.
 OTTAWA, Oct. 24.-Leaders of the dry forces in the Canadian capital an nounced Friday night that as the re- suits of their victory in the Ontario liquor control election, they have de- cided to mass all their forces in the Dominion and call on the Canadian government immediately to end rum running between Canada and the United States.
 Prohibition leaders say that as a re- suit of thorough inquiry which they have been conducting for some time, they are firmly convinced that the pro- hibitiOn laws of the United States can never be successfully enforced, unless the source of supply is plugged up.
 Canada, they conted, is the main spur of supply for the thirsty of Uncle Sam's domain and the result of the in- ternational utilization of the Canadian and United States prohibition parties they believe it is up to the Canadian leaders to cooperate with the Ameri- cans in their effort to make prohibition a success at home.
 With this in view, the Canadian dry leaders will call on the Canadian gov ernment to take immediate action to stop the manufacture of beer and liquor in Canada and to end impOrtationA here as we'll as the export of beer and liquor, much of which is supposed to be exported for Cuba, but which crosses the international boundary line in row boats and motor craft.
 The dry leaders predict nation wide battle now to make Canada a dry nation. The vets and drys of the whole dominion are lining up to do serious battle in the immediate offing.

MANY sEEK FIGuREs
Susad's Office Overrun With Curiosity
 Seekers

JuGhCH0
 The federal building, Friday, was filled with curiosity seekers, regarding the amount of income tax their friends or acauaintances paid in 1923, and were all surprised when they found that they could not jOt down a single note, but had to rely entirely on mem ory.
 This was the new ruling which Col lector W. D. Snead, of the internal revenue department received Friday regarding income tax publicity, al- though the same facts were incOrpO- rated in the revenue act of June 2.
 Two books containing, approximate ly 6O,OOO, returns which were filed with the income tax officials, were open to the inspection of the public Friday. A clerk was authorized by Collector Snead to assist in giving persons any information that they might want to carry away mentally assimilated.
 Ruling Received
 Friday morning, Mir. Snead, received a ruling from David H. Blair, United States commissioner of internal reVe- nne at Washingington that it would be unlawful to print or publish any part of the income tax returns.
 The telegram read as follows:
 with reference to monograph S,240, does not authorize preparation of copies income tax lists by public. To permit persons to prepare duplicate lists of income tax payers would seriously Ob- struet efficient management of your office. Post cohspicuOusly and call to the attention of all who wish to ex- anime income tax lists provision of 3.167 revised statutes particularly that provision making it unlawful to print or publish any income tax returns or any part thereof under penalty of a fine of $1 900 or Imprisonment of one year or bOth."
