Wet Leader Offers Letters to

Leviathan Charges.

That he is prepared to substantiate
by letters and testimony his charge
that liquor is being sold on the Levi
athan was the information conveyed
to Chairman O'Connor Of the Shipping
Board yesterday by w. H. Stayton,
head of the Association against the
Prohibition Amendment. He said he
had no thought of criticizing any
member of the board, but, on the
other hand, sought to show that Gin
spite of honest efforts of able men,
your board, along with many officials
in other departments, was the victim
Of a cancerous law.
IF you decide to investigate the
matter, l will gladly cooperate with
YOU and produce all the letters and
testimony ] have"
In a. letter to the Shipping Board
chairman, Stayton declared the pro.
hibition law could not be enforced on
land or sea, and continued:
Defends Leviathan Seamen.
How can We expect the employees
on the Leviathan to either respect or
obey the law? They see alongside
them a Cunard liner British fiagl
going out Of New York. They know
that the Constitution forbids the
presence of Intoxicating beverages on
that ship in our waters. They know
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States declared that the presence or
such liquors on the Cunarder would
be unlawful and unconstitutional.
They know that in spite of this the
cunarder is connivingly permitted to
bring the stuff into our ports and sell
it at sea to the profit of the British
owners and the advantage of the Brit
ish taxpayer. And they know that the
American shipowner Is penaliZed and
Disseminated against, because he is
American and not British, and he Is
not permitted to make the profit the
Britisher makes, not to aid his fellow
taxpayer.
"A system which such discrimia-
ton and winks at constitutional viola
lions in favor Of the British cannot
be expected to appeal to those who
know of Lexington and Concord"

SANTIAGO, Chile, July 81 R.--
The Chilean minister Of foreign rela-

Chilean Ambassador at Washington
requesting him to present to the arbi-

protest against the recent motion of
Gen. William Lassiter declaring that
a plebiscite in Tacna-Arica was inn

CHURCHILL REPLY
TO BORAH DECR|ED
London Paper AssaiIs Bandy-
ing of Words and Defends
Debt Pact as Practical.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 27.-The action of
Winston Churchill, chancellor of the
eXchequer, in retorting to a state
ment by United States Senator Borah
concerning the Angfo-American debt
settlement has drawn an editorial re-
buke from the London Times The
paper strongly condemns the "irregu-
lar, protracted and aimless contro-
versy" between the two countries on
the debt question.
The Times argues that plain speak.
ing, even upon such q delicate sub
ject, is not harmful as long as proper
proportions are observed. 1T may
even do good the paper continues,
IF it reminds the American people
that the British attitude on war debts
differs in some essentials from that
expressed in the policy of their own
Government.
Holds determinations Futile.
What is utterly futile. intolerable
and even dangerous is to let serious
discussion degenerate into a bandying
of words, a fusillade of mutual re-
ordinations. Mr.. Churchill has now
gone so far as to make public retort to
things, reach that point it is really
necessary to call halt
The gist of the Times editorial is
that the British debt to the United
States has been settled on the only
terms possible and that there is no
good in trying to go back on the
agreement.
Asserting that there is u new dread
of instability passing over Europe
the paper adds: This is the very
worst moment for the two nations,
which have vindicated their stability,
to undermine by petty controversy the
basis of practical agreement by
which they mutually assure their pres
tige and marshal their joint forces and
resources for the benefit of a world in
great Distress
