Prince Carol May
Meet Mother, Queen
Marie, Now in Paris

Paris Oct 7.-(P)-The presence of
Queen Marie in Paris, in preparation
for her visit to the United States,
has led to much speculation as to
whether her estranged son, Prince
Carol, will attempt to visit her
Reports We're current that Prince
Carol had left his home in the sub
urbs and had come to Paris to seek
a reconciliation with his mother
which might lead to his assuming
again his status as Crown Prince
which he lost after his latest escap-
ade. He did not show himself about
the Hotel Ritz, where Queen Marie
is staying, but there was talk that
the mother and son would meet be-
fore her departure for the United
States.
1t was learned that Prince Carol
saw his sister, Queen Marie of Jugo
Slavia on her recent visit to France.
1t is recalled that Queen Marie only
a few days ago accompanied her
mother on the latter's special train
from Bucharest to Paris. 1t is now
reported that in the course of this
trip the younger queen persuaded
her mother to seek Prince Carol
while in Paris.
The Rumanian Queen, who has
now been in Paris three days. most
of which have been taken up in
shopping expeditions. was exceeding

Declares "The Half Chance
Prohibition in U. S. Has Pro-

Washington, Oct. 7.-P)--Describ-
ing the system of government con-
troll of liquor in Canada as a fail
ure, the board of temperance, pro-
hibition and public morals of the
Methodist church asserts in a state
ment made public today that even
the half chance prohibition" in the
United States has produced far bet
ter results.
Because of the recurring sugges-
tons that the so-called Quebec sys-
tenn of government liquor control be
substituted for prohibition in this
country, the board undertook sur
vey of conditions in Canada through
Ernest A. Grant, it's assistant re-
search secretary.
Conclusions set out in the boards
statement have been based, it was
explained, upon this survey and
upon government documents, news
paper articles, and facts and figures
of undoubted authenticity"
From these the board concludes
that:
Government control in Canada
has meant increased consumption of
liquor; greatly increased use of
liquors by young people and women /;
increased vice and crime; a corrup-
ton hitherto unknown; an Illicit
trade as great as that under any
prohibition law; a swollen liquor bill
and great economic loss.
