DEFINES CRIME AS COMMON
CONSCIENCE OF COMMUNITY
(By NEA Service)

PUEBLO, Colo, Feb. 24.-It is
not q crime to violate the prohibi-
tion law in America.
That is the opinion of S. Harri-
son White, for ten years chief JUS
tice of Colorado.
"A crime,' says Judge White,
sis the common conscience of the
state or community forbidding the
commission or omission of an act,
expressed by legislative enactment
or common law customs.'
The point is, according to Judge
White, that common con-
science' has never been developed
in America forbidding the drinking
of booze.
"And,' he adds, "until the vast
ma jority of Americans sincerely
believe that alcoholic liquors should
be prohibited-in the same way
that a vast majority believe that
the use of narcotics should be pro-
hibited-the 18th amendment and
Nolstead act will not be enforced
successfully.
But so long as prohibition is a
law it should be observed and al
though officers will have difficulty,

APPLICATIONS FOR
GAS SERVICE HERE
COMING IN SLOWLY
Lack of Interest Shown
May Mean Location of
Main Plant Elsewhere.

Ell Centre residents are showing
considerable laxity in making their
applications for gas service, accord
ig to r. G.. Grant, financial direc-
tor Of the Inland Empire Case COM
pany, who has opened an office at
608 Main street. where those desir-
ing gas service can file requests.
There is no charge made when an
application for gas service is filed.
Persons filing an application do not
have to take gas service until they
are ready for it, the sole purpose of
the applications being to give the
company an idea as to the size of
the plant they must build in order to
furnish for those who desire it.
Applications have been coming in
very satisfactorily in Holtville. Ca
lcXico and Brawley. Grant said, but
thus far FL Centre has shown little
on no inclination to be concerned
about gas.
Must Get Busy Here
"When preliminary investigations
were being conducted here. before
we made application to the rail-
, road commission for franchise, We
were assured that valley housewives
would welcome return of gas serv-
ice,'' Grant said today. This as
surance has not been borne out by
facts and as we will undoubtedly
build our plant nearest to the city
providing the most applications, it
behooves the people of Ell Centre to
get busy if they wish the gas plant
located here.
cit would not be practical, nor
good business, Grant said, ''to
build the plant here, if the greatest
number of applications are received
from people in Calexico, Brawlev or
Holtville. -
The local office is open daily aud
residents desiring gas service are
urged to call at the office and file
their applications.

START C0NFAB TO
REVIVE FRIENDLY
SPIRIT IN EUROPE
Friction Over League of
Nations Council Men,
berships Seen as Less.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-With France
and England in open disagreement
regarding permanent memberships
on the League of Nations council
and the Balkan and Italo-German
situation still unsatisfactory. a
series Of European conferences be-
gan today in an effort to revive the
friendly spirit Of Locarno.
European friction over the coun-
ell memberships problem seems al
ready to be ameliorating, if indi-
cations of slightly changed attitudes
in Berlin and Warsaw are borne out
by subsequent developments. From
Warsaw it is reported that Poland
would not withdraw from the league
if, az is probable, Poland fails to
obtain permanent seat at the
league meeting March s.
Balkans Arc Restless
Foreign Minister Nintchitch of
Jugo Slavia has arrived in Rome to
discuss the restless Balkan situation
with Premier Mussolini and also the
situation arising from the recent
Italo German differences regarding
the administration of southern Ty-
rol. The goal of this conference is
TO strengthen the relations between
Jugo Slavia and Italy and to renew
the mutual accord against coali
tion of Austria and Germany fol
lowing the lattcr's entry into the
league.
Chancellor Luther and Foreign
Minister Stresemann of Germany
will leave for Geneva next week for
confidential discussions regarding
the council memberships problem
and a conference with Premier Bri
and, of France, regarding allied oc-
cupation of the Rhineland.
The Franco British breach over
council seats probably will be clos
ed by victory for Britain. Britain
will oppose applying the balance
of power" principle to the league
council while France seeks a perma-
nent seat for Poland to counteract
Gcrmany's influence in the council.

American Protestants in Mexico
would not be deported under the
constitutional ban against foreign
ers engaged in religious or educa-
tional work unless they were teach
ing in primary schools. profession
barred to foreigners.
Through the department of educa-
ton. Gales stated that the present
religious controversy in Mexico was
caused by disobedience to the law.
Most Americans, he said, were obey
ing the law and only those inter
venmg in political matters contrary
to the constitution would he de
ported.
Will Enforce Law
The law. Gales said, would be
applied alike to all religious sects
regardless of nationality.
AS always, when treating aues-
tions regarding Mexico,' Gales
said. "there has been an attempt
to disfigure the facts as presented
10 the people OF the United States
from a question of obedience and
respect of the fundamental law of
the country to a campaign of religi-
Gus persecution. Such campaign
would be inexplicable in a. country
where fortunately religious and ec,
clesiastical matters always are alb.
sent from political and civil legisla-
tion.''
The president S statement was in
terpreted as an effort to counteract
the effect of newspaper stories print
ed in the United States relative to
the campaign of deportation and
closure embarked upon by the gov
ernment principally against the
Catholic church and its foreign
priests 'in Mexico.
