At a time when Britain has so many

TO buy goods cheap and sell them dear
is undoubtedly good business politics but
il does seem very wanting in loyalty for
British financiers to be feeding foreign
labor when that very money spent in pro-
viding labor in England would relieve the
unemployment which is one Of EGgland's
greatest difficulties at this movement.
1t is estimated that there are 4 million
more people in the British Isles to-
day than was The case Immediately
before the war. Loyal Englishmen are
aiding British Statemen to settle some
of these in the Colonies and are Of
fering every inducement by way of
cheap passage to get them to the Colo

giving them inducements in many direc-
tons to develop the land and these are
truly British methods
Buy British Goods" is a very good
slogan for the Britisher but it should be
made profitable to buy British Goods and
unless the colonies ana dependencies are
more loyal than the British financiers

only a scry in the Wilderness, and Eng

Put European Vets on Defensive
The moral and religious forces of
America must take the knowledge of the
gospel OF prohibition to the rest OF the
world, in order to save and make perma-
nent American prohibition at home, Just
as the church was compelled to enter
the foreign mission field in order to save
the church in America.
Such program is necessary, more
over, in order to keep me liquor inter
ests OF other countries defending them
selves in those countries instead of con-
centrating on the effort to break down
prohibition here in the United States.
Such a course is also essential in or
der TO lessen one OF the greatest men
aces to the foreign missionary WORK of
American churches, thus creating >ondi-
tions that will multiply the efficiency of
Americas eighteen thousand foreign
missionaries, and protect in the Ameri-

forty millions OF dollars i'll foreign mis-
sionary enterprises.

would rear such a building? What if at
eventde and at midnight the airy forms
dimly seen haunting the dstilleries and
stores where they received their bane, or
following the track of the ship engaged in
the commerce-walking upon the waves
fitting athwart the deck, sitting upon
the rigging and sending up, from the
hold within and from the waves
without groans, and loud laments and
wailings? Who would attend such
stores? Who would labor in such dis
tlleries? Who would navigate such
ships?
ooh! were the sky over our heads one
great whispering gallery, bringing down
about us all the lamentaton and woe
which intemperance creates, and the firm
earth one sonorous medium of sound,
bringing up around us from beneath the
wailings of the damned, whom the COM
merce in ardent spirit had sent thither-
these tremendous realities, assailing our
senses would invigorate our conscience,
and give decision to the purpose OF ret
ormation. But these evils are as real
as if the stone did cry out of the wall,
and the beam answered it; as real as if,
day and night, wailings were heard in
every part OF the dwelling, the blood
and skeletons we're seen upon every wall;
as real as if the ghostly forms OF departed
vc&ims fitted about the ship as she
passed over the pillows, and showed
themselves nightly about stores and dis
tlleres, and with unearthly voices
screamed in our ears their loud lament.
They are as real as if the sky over our
heads collected and brought down about
us all the notes of sorrow in the land,
and the firm earth should open passage
for the wailings OF despair to come up
from beneath"

CREDIT TO PROHIBITION

James E. Kinney, president of the Cen
trail Ohio First Mortgage Company, o
Columbus, speaking of the influence pro
hibit;on has had upon the work of hi
company, says:
have no objection to being quoted
as saying that prohibition has given
the business of building and loan as
sociations a decided forward impetus.
The effect is noticeable both on the
regularity and size of payments on
loans and in the building up of savings
accounts. 1t is my opinion that the
general prosperity of the country has
been developed and improved and
more people have obtained homes
since prohibition than would have
been the case in a period twice as
long before prohibition. 1t never oc-
ours to me that the country will ever
again sanction the traffic in liquor be-
cause of the blight it would cast on
the very satisfactory business condi-
tons which prevail today.

u. S. Attorney Buckner Urges Enact
ment of State Enforcement Law

The Pittsburgh Gazette Times in
New York dispatch of January rs quotes
United States Attorney Buckner of New
York City as advising several hundred
ministers at meeting III the old John
Street Methodist Episcopal Church:
Put not your trust in the United States
government for enforcement. Get state
enforcement act. Turn your microscope
upon your state and local officials and
stop peering at Washington with tele-
scope"
If Mr.. Buckner has any influence with
Governor Al Smith maybe he could per-
suade the Governor to use his influence
in the Legislature to re-enact the state
law which the Legislature repealed and
which repeal measure he, the Governor,
approved. New York State is the most
fragrant Stacker of all the states of the
Union in the matter of assisting the gov
eminent in the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law.

PROHIBITION WORLD ISSUE
Policy Must Be Extended on
World Scale-Put Vets
Abroad on Defensive

Speaking before the Buffalo Ministerial
Association meeting held under the au
spices OF the Anti-Saloon League of New
York, Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington on jan
uary 25 declared that while prohibition
has been a substantial success in the
United States still there is much for the
forces of America yet TO do. He said:
There is an apparent purpose on
the part of all officials, especially
those having TO do with enforcement,
TO carry out the spirit of the law
and 10 make good on the enforce
ment job. The attitude OF the Off
Gals, it must be manifest, is for the
most part the reflection OF the atti-
tude OF the people who elect them
and TO whom they arc responsible,
and the degree OF enforcement OBJ
tanned therefore reflects the public
opinion that exists.
International Traffic Arrayed Against
18th Amendment
'While the Eighteenth Amendment TO
the Federal Constitution received the
largest official majority sanction ever
given TO Constitutional provision, new
ertheless no provision of the Consttu-
ton has ever had arrayed against it such
powerful, active and aggressive minor
ity as that opposed to National Consti-
tutional Prohibition. The conflict which
the prohibition forces must wage during
the years to come will be not merely
against the strength of local, state and
national liquor organizations, but against
a gigantic strongly organized, wealthy
and politically influential international
liquor traffic. Something of the extent
and influence OF that international traffic
is indicated by the worlds present annual
drink bill, amounting TO approximately
twenty billion dollars.
Just as the efforts for complete town
ship and village prohibition required
county and state cooperation, and just
as complete state prohibition required the
cooperation of other states and that of
the Federal Government, just so today
the unfinished task of National Prohi-
bition in the United States requires the
cooperation of other countries.
The American international boundary
line, more than 1900 miles in length,
along which operate millions OF high
powered automobiles, tens OF thousands
OF feet rum-running vessels and numer-
Gus aeroplanes directed by radio, togeth-
er with the fact that modern inventions
revoutionzing communication and trans
portaton have made OF the world vast
neighborhood OF nations, all tend to
make the enforcement OF prohibition in
the United States, and the whole prohi-
bition question great international
problem.
knowledge of the truth will event
ually make beverage alcohol an impos-
sbility in modern civilization, because it
is at variance with the memorable econom-
ic law OF the new age. The unskilled

This is the fourth time the two

like tactics preferred by Harvard.

Prof. Kennedy read, in part:

viction that 1t Is at present imposst'
Bile to expect, in athletic competition
with Harvard, that spirit of cordial
good will between the undergraduate
bodies. of the two universities which

Unless athletic contests between

mutual respect there can be no valid
reason for their continuance"
