Less Smuggling
Of Liquor with
Price Much Higher

Washington, April 25.-(P)-While
Coast Guard drives and increased
activity of enforcement agents help
ed to stem the tide of smuggled IL
quor into the United States last year.
prices, which shot skyward with the
shorter supply, dug just as much
money out of Americans pockets as
they did in 1924.
The figure. conservatiyely esti-
mated at $40,000,00O. was included
in the fourth annual international
trade balance statement announced
today by the Commerce Department.
1t compared with an estimate of
S30,O00,OO0 for 1928 and $20,0O0,000
for 1922, and represented the chief
"unreported' item on the import
side of the country's merchandise
ledger.
1t also was a factor in computing
the final balance in commercial and
financial transactions of this coun-
try with the rest of the world last
year, being placed in the imports
opposite the largest unreported item
of exports-S25,O OO. 900 in unrecord-
ed parcel post packages.
The estimate covered all snug
gled goods, but it was pointed out
that this item consists chiefly Of al
coholic liquors. 1t was reached af
ter study of the records of pro-
duction. imports, domestic consump
ton and exports of liquors in neigh
boring countries and, in the opinion
Of various authorities, was "a very
low estimate"
THE year 1926" the Departments
statement said. with stricter en-
forcement of prohibition regulations
and the breaking up of several
smuggling organizations. resulted
finally in a decrease in the number
of foreign ships lying off the coast
and in a greater confiscation of car
goes and very probably a smaller
consumption of struggled liquor by
Americans.
ION the other hand. while the
vigilance of the Coast Guard in
creased, the price of liquor advanced
as it became more difficult to get.
so that the total value of liquor
struggled into the United States in
1929 was probably not greatly diff
ferent from that of 1924, which. ac-
cordins to the most conservative es-
Inmates, was at least $40.000,000."

During the last winter young Wise

also, it means that these shoes that

Says Enforcement
Would Cost $70,076, 125
In New York State

New York, April 24.-In mem
oranda which will become part of the
record of the United States Senate
judiciary sub committees prohibit
ton investigation Monday, L. S.
Atty. Emory r. Buckner states that
under existing conditions. the cost
of reasonable" enforcement of pro-
hibition throughout the state of New
York would be $70,076,125 a year.
That is Mr.. Buckner's estimate of
the annual price of prohibition in
New York state without the aid Of
a state enforcement act and without
the abolition of jury trials in Vol
stead act violations. If jury trials
were abolished and federal police
courts established, he estimates that
the annual cost of prohibition en-
forcement Throughout the state
would be $20.021. $50
Under these conditions, for the
southern district over which Mr..
Buckner has jurisdiction. the annual
prohibition enforcement cost would
be, he states, $14.441, 900 For the
eastern district, under the iurisdic-
ion of U. S. Atty. William A. De
t.root in Brooklyn, the yearly cost
would be $5,720,5O

To Guard Against
Too Many Markers
Foreign Battlefelds

Washington, April 2o.-(P)-StepS to
rreyent indiscriminate marking of
World War battlefelds in France and
Belgium with American memorials
we're announced today by General Per-
shing as head of the American Battle
Monuments commission.
Under a resolution adopted by the
commission and approved by Presi-
dent Coolidge no decorative memorials
will be approved for erection in the
two countries except such as are in the
nature of public improvements Of use
TO the inhabitants. The French and
Belgian governments have agreed not
to permit any markers to be placed
except when approved by the commits
sion.
General Pershing told the commits
sion he was much concerned that so
many American memorials were being
planned for erection in Europe" add
ing that IL steps 10 check the privte
enterprises of states and municipali-
ties, military organizations and indi-
vduals were not taken. he feared 1.-The
bounds of good taste" would be ex-
ceeded.
It developed that there are few
French, Belgian or Italian memorials
erected or contemplated in the battle
areas. despite the fact that the troops
Of all three countries sustained great
er losses in the same regions than did
America
Regions over which American
troops fought we're historic as battle
theatres in older wars of Europe, it
was held. and these conditions tend ito
make even a moderate number of
American memorials conspicuous, and
TOO many would create an entirely err
roneous impression of the American
object in erecting them"
Any additional expression Of graf
itude and love for our soldiers can
best be shown by memorials in the
United States" the summary added,
pointing out that it had been found al
most impossible to provide for proper
upkeep of markers in France except
through government agencies, and add
ca; Many of those now erected give
tle impression that the people who
put them up have forgotten their ex-
isence."
