NEW YORK, March 5.-Failure of
the United States Senate TO adopt the
Box world peace plan during the
Sixty eighth Congress, which ended
yesterday, caused DR.. Charles Herbert
Levermore, author of the plan, to
lose his chance-technically, at
least-to gain the second award of
$4,000 offered by Edward Box. The
first award of $4,000 was given DR.
Leyermore upon acceptance of his
plan by special jury headed by
Elihu Root
Under the terms of the award IL
was necessary for the United States
Senate to have adopted the winning
plan by March 4. 1925, before its
author could receive the second half
Of the 100000 award. DIR. Lever
more, whose plan won the award over
22,l6 others, is now in Europe.
The peace plan was not introduced

Further Law Enforcement.

Not only continuation but an extern
sion of the sweeping campaign for
the enforcement of the Volstead law
recently begun by the Government is
planned. Orders have been given to
broaden the scope of the drive against
bootlegging on land and sea. with the
naval organization already effected
as a nucleus. The. United States is
to undertake to cut off all overseas
supplies of liquor with the blockade
and TO concentrate activities on the
large supply, bases near the coast from
which dealers within this country Sc
cure their supplies. Meanwhile an
extensive poster campaign will be
started. for the placarding OF the
country with graphic descriptions Of
the benefits of law observance.
That the blockade of the bootleg
gers off the coast has been effective
is evident. Large supplies OF liquor
are held up at sea involving the in
vestment Of a great sum of money.
The inflow through the Gordon has
been negligible. Some of the ships
have weighed anchor and departed.
Others are still lingering in the hope
of diseharging cargoes. Some acuv
ity is reported on the Pacific Coast,
but the Government is evidently pre-.
pared to watch on that side as we'll
as on the East to maintain a de-
fensive blockade.
The f1agrancy with which the law
is fouted in some of the larger cities
in the East is a challenge that the
Government must meet with the most
thorough enforcement procedure. Re-
peal of the Volstead act and. modifica,
ton of the eighteenth amendment
through open defiance, coupled with
inefficient enforcement, ), cannot be toll
Grated. If the law based upon the
amendment has not the support of
the people of the country a test can
be made at the ballot box by a dee
laration of issue in national cam
paign. Neither OF the two major po-
litical parties has been willing. II de-
sireus, to pitch such an issue. This
in itself is evidence of a belief that
the ma ority opinion in this country
favors prohibition. There is no pros
pect whatever that the Congress elect
ed last November will upon assembly
take any move toward the modifica-
tion, far less the repeal, of the Vol
stead act.
Back of the Governments decision
to proceed with all, possible vigor and
with all facilities for the enforcement
of the law is a large body. Of public
opinion. AS long as. such a sentiment
prevails in this country 1t is the duty
of the Federal administration to ex.
haust every available means to main.
tain the law. That is evidently the
present purpose.

Curling Wheat Gambling.

Secretary Jardine Is to be commend
ed for his intention to take steps to
prevent a repetition of gambling in
grain futures, which recently resulted
in wide fluctuations in the price Of
wheat. An investigation which has
been in progress by the Department
of Agriculture, charged with enforc-
ing the law, discloses, evidence that
there has been manipulation of prices
by spectators, but up to this time
proof is lacking to warrant prosecu-
lions by the Department of Justice.
Secretary Jardine wisely, deter
mined, while continuing to seek for
proofs of violations, to take immediate
steps to prevent recurrence of the
gambling which lately prevailed. Con-
gress, in its efforts to stop the wild
speculation that occasionally afflicts
the wheat market. vested in the Sec.
rotary considerable discretionary pow
er in the premises. AS a practical
this commodity, Secretary Jardine has
invoked the aid of the grain ex-

gent rules be put in force.
With this purpose I'm mind, he dis.
cussed in the last three or four days
with representatives Of the Chicago
Board of Trade, including the presi-
dent, Frank L. Carey. the desirability

overspeculation. 1t Is the Secretary's
purpose to bring about q condition
where the quotations in future trad
ings will more accurately reflect the
prices incident to supply and demand.
Secretary Jardine also suggested that
a rule limiting the spread in daily
quotations would have this effect
Secretary Jardine made it clear that
in the event of the failure on the part
of the exchanges designated as con,
|, tract markets to take some effective
measures he would be obliged as a
matter of public interest to suggest
additional legislation giving to the De.
partment of Agriculture authority to
meet the situation effectively. The
boards Of trade and exchanges will
do well to heed the Secretary's sug-
gestions ahd admonitions.

in earnest In this campaign, and IL it
has to so to Congress again the wheat

Ambassadnr Houghton's warning to
Europe that America expects the Old
World nations to seek a real peace
based on faith and good feeling is

His speech is accepted as an accurate

condemned.

however, holds that the penalty pro-
