ADMITS HE LIED
 FOR PROHIBITION
But Johnson Thinks End JuSti,
 lied the Means
----.' --r---

New York, April 2 -- Lying and bribery on tho part of advocates Of prohibition in their fight for he eighteenth amendment and tho NolstcaI act arc admitted by Will liam F, PussyfooD Johnson. who, writing in tho current number Of HearSts International and Cosmo- politan magazine maintains that such practices wore justified by the end they achieved.
 Calling his article "I had 10 lic, hrihc and drink to put over pro hihition in Amorica,' ho begins: T helped 10 put prohibition over on America and am now trying as best I can to holp put II over on inc word.' After rccounting carly campaigns against liquor traffic in the Indian territory, he continues:
 Tt was at just about this time. however, that thc Anti Saloon league had entered into new kind Of behavior, In thousands of local and statc-wid" contests, under the general leadership Of thc late pnr- Icy X. Baker, q horde Of astutc persons, schooled in the defeats of the emotional past, began 10 scent new ways of victory From oratory and d"nunciation they turned to practical tactics.
 'J am not engaged in the task of defending either my own con- duct or that of the Ant-E1loon league, In the abstract, much could not with caso hc justified othically. l nm only setting down facts.
 says He Lied to Gain End
 Did l ever lio 10 promot" proli- bition? Decidedly yes. I have told lies Tor the cause 10 make Ananias ashamed of himself. The lies that have told would fill T big book. But l have never lied to my associates and have never lied 10 the public. l have told 10 sin ncrs q thousand lies for the purposes Of decoying them into telling the truth.
 Did I ever hribe anybody? In my law enforcement work for the gov rrnmcnt I bribed many bad mon 10 give me information about their as socatos. But outside of that have never brbed anybody have never known single case in which any Anti-Saloon league man has bribed public officials.'
 Ho denies that the league ever "hlacllmaicd" public officials into favoring their measures but admits that the organization did keep rec ords of the acts Of public mon as to matters relating 10 the liquor traffic Pertinent facts of this sort were published from time 10 time"
 Did l ever drink 10 promote pro- Mir. Johnson continues. Yes gallons of it. In fact, l have never drunk for any other purpose. In seeking hidden information. in perfectng criminal cases, l have drunk plenty of the stuff,
 And so, actuated by these prin- ,iplcs. or lack of principles, flung the remaining years Of my life into the program of thc AntiSaloon league and later into the intorna- ional aspects of the same moNe- ment.

Our Philippine Duty

1t would never do for the United
States to withdraw from the Philip
pines with any risk that, some years
later. one of those colonizing Powers
on the grounds of avenging its
nationals or protecting its trade-the
case Of the English at Hongkong OF,
the French at Tonkin; the Germans
took all Shantung because two of
their missionaries We're murdered in
kiaochao-should move into some
such vantage point as Manila, and
stay there. Such a move would
inevitably result in the disconsolate
but defenceless Filipinos sending us
such a heart-rending appeal to re-
turn to their assistance as would
surely result in our people, always
sensible to distress appeals, becom-
ing embroiled with the colonizing
Power aforesaid.
No. even though we repudiate the
White Mans Burden whenever it
means acquisition of lands belonging
to other races, we cannot abandon
the Philippines until their freedom
Is jointly guaranteed by all those
colonizing Powers who still believe
In the superior right of the White
Man. We are not colonizing
Power.
Also, this seems a proper place to
rejoice that the United States is not
a partner to the policy of colonial
mandates to which the League of
Nations is committed. 1t may serve
for group of coloniZing European
nations, but 1t does not square with
the Monroe Doctrine.-(Gen. Charles

Guest Registration Bureaus

Berlin.-(P)-Summer tourists in
Germany this season will be able to
register themselves and look up
friends in a. chain of guest regis
tration bureaus in railway stations
of the larger cities, under a plan
worked out by the Federal Railways
Administration. The bureaus will be
uniformly marked with signs showing
an arrow within a circle.
Tourists or business men. expecting
to meet friends in a city, can write
their hotel addresses and telephone
numbers in a book at the local regis
uation bureau. for fee of about
four cents. The books. however
are not open to the public.
But when friends drift into town
they are permitted to inquire for a
speciflc person and obtain the adj
oress without trouble. Officials in
charge of the bureaus have been
instructed to assist visitors in finding
friends where possible.

The Boom in France

Paris, April 26-(P)-France has
her Florida, and if the boom along
the Riviera does not present the
same spectacular feature that has
been reported about the American
resort, the two booms are running
along somewhat parallel lines,
Painters and writers were the first
to discover that Riviera could be
more than a fashionable winter re-
sort. They tried summer residence,
as measure of economy, and soon
number We're living there all the
year round. Bankers soon bought
and Monte Carlo. Then the boom
began. Municipalities began selling
off public lands as building sites and
other municipalities, not possessing
common land, formed improvement
syndicates to take over the property
and sell it in lots with the purpose
of booming their towns.
Paris is covered with poster in
vitations to buy lots and build
above, around and near Nice and
Cannes. The daily papers every day
announce the cutting up of some big
private property for building lots.
Lots do not change hands with
the frequency that they seem to in
Florida, but many are held on
speculation. One piece of land
bought in 1923 for a million francs
brought in seven million after 1t had
been cut into building lots.
Villages have sprung into being
where an odd house or two stood.
and former villages have become
towns, and as there have been no
restrictions on the style of building,
the result is sometimes startling.
