 International movements of gold affecting the United States, which re- gently have been dormant, are being resumed with New York specified as the destination for shipments from Canada. Japan and Chile. With the Canadian dollar now selling at q slight discount, the exports from the Dominion merely represent the re- turn flow of gold attracted by the premium on the Canadian currency late last year. The Canadian Bank .of Commerce already has returned S 900 ,o00 from Montreal. A similar shipment from Japan will build up that countrys exchange balances here, while a s10,000,000 consign- ment from Chile Is believed to fore shadow preparations for a new load.

WASHINGTON, May 20.--Ignor.
ing altogether the claims Of either
friends or foe of prohibition
before the Senate judiciary Com
mittee, the facts admitted by General
Andrews, chief enforcement officer.
and United States District Attorney
Emory Buckner, will help those who
want to know the truth make up
their minds as to the success or fail
ure of prohibition.
Following are some of the facts:
Authenticated statistics compiled
by police departments of most of
the large cities show a progressive
and continuous increase in arrests
FOR drunkenness from 192O-the
first year of constitutional prohibi-
tion-to 1925 inclusive.
BY 1924, arrests for drunkenness
In these cities were practically as
numerous as in 1916 and 1917, when
they reached the highest peak be-
fore prohibition.
More Corruption
There has been more corruption
Of public officials since prohibition
than ever before in the history Of
the government. General Andrews
admitted than S45 prohibition agents
have been dismissed for corruption.
Deaths from alcoholism and cyr-
rhosis of the liver-a disease due to
excessive drinking of alcohol
showed a steady decline from 1917
to 1920 and a rapid increase from
