No Serious Effort Made to Repeal
the Eighteenth Amendment; They
Know This Hopeless Task
BEER AND WINE THE PLEA
Purpose Is to Modify Volstead Law
Thereby as Effectively Destroy
ing Prohibition by Repeal
of Amendment

must not be lost sight of There is no
serious effort being made by any of the
thirty or more wet organizations to bring
about the repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Numerous bills have been introduced in
both House and Senate of the present
Congress for the purpose OF destroying
prohibition but not more than one or two
at most call for the repeal OF the amend
ment The wet leaders know that there
is not the slightest chance OF taking the
Eighteenth Amendment out OF the Con
stituton. To do so would require a two
thirds vote of both houses of Congress to
submit 4 repeal resolution. and approval
OF both branches of the legislatures of
threc-fourths of the states.
The fact that they do not make the at
tempt is positive evidence that they them
selves do not believe their oft-repeated
statement. that the majority OF the people
OF the United States are opposed to the
national dry policy.
They can as effectively destroy prohibi-
ton, however, by repeating or modifying
the Nolstead act as by repeating the
Eighteenth Amendment itself They
could also accomplish this purpose by
preventing adequate appropriation to
meet the necessary expense Of enforcing
the law.
They can repeal or modify the Volstead
act by bare majority in both branches
OF the Congress. To this end they are
bending every energy to elect a Congress
that will do their bidding.
They are actively at work in every con-
gressional district where they feel they
have chance of defeating a dry candi-
date and elccting wet one.
They are expending many thousands of
dollars i'll their publicity campaign in an
effort to convince the people that prohi-
bition is uncomfortable and unpopular.
This is all preparatory to Their actual work
to be done in the primaries this coming
summer and in the next general election
when a new Congress will be chosen
This is no time for the friends of pro-
hibition to quit the fight The fact is, the
greatest test is yet to come.
The drys must not be misled by wet
propaganda. Prohibition is not as ef-
fcctiyely enforced as it can be nor as it
will be- The six years test which has
been given it, however shows such inl-
proycment in economic and moral condi-
tons over old saloon days as to Justify
the statement made by Commissioner
Haynes that marvellous progress has been
made.
1t is not likely that the wet leaders will
seriously fight Tor the repeal oil the Vol
stead law. They are asking for a modi-
fication to permit the manufacture and
sale OF beer and wine. Restoration Of the
beer traffic would mean restoration of
ninc-tenths OF the traffic OF old license
days. 1t would practically mean the COM
plctc overthrow OF the prohibition policy.
1t would mean the restoration OF the
brewer to his former political prestige. 1t

SUGAR

The recent decision Of the Cuban
government to limit the production
Of sugar for the season of 1926-27
to 4,5OO,OOO tons is the latest of a
series of developments which have re-
suited in a fairly consistent advance
in sugar prices throughout this year,
and which have placed producers in a
more favorable position than they
have enjoyed since the season Of
1924, states the current issue of
the Guaranty Survey, published by
the Guaranty Trust company Of New
York. Since the announcement of the
governments action the advance in
prices has been greatly accelerated,
both raw ard refined sugar quota
tons having mounted rapidly to a
series of new high points for the year.
For some time it has been apparent
that the Cuban government was de-
termined to take whatever steps
might appear desirable to check the
depression in prices of sugar. With
this end in view, the Survey says
further, the Crop Reduction law was
enacted last May, authorizing the
president to reduce the current crop
by as much as much as 10 per cent
and providing for similar control
over the next two crops. The presi-
dent was also empowered to fix the
date at which grinding might begin.
Acting under the authority of this
law, the administration recently de-
cided that the grinding of the 1926
81 crop should be deferred until after
January 1, 1927. The definite limi-
tation announced on November 18 is
apparently based on trade estimates
-forecasting an output of approx
mately 10000 600 tons.
The present price, although it is
the highest in about two years, is
only 25 per cent above the ten-year
pre-war average. This comparison
shows quite clearly that Ov~er-prOduc-
ton is still the outstanding problem
before the industry, since the pur-
chasing power of sugar in this cOum-
try is below 80 per cent of the pre-
war level-in other words, somewhat
less than the average purchasing
power of a unit Of American farm
commodities.

er, the business man, and the manu-
facturer Of the Middle West may
continue to enjoy.
The Panama canal has benefited
the coast regions of the United
States, but it has marooned the in
terror. The benefits it has brought
to the Pacific, Gulf and Atlantic
coasts must be extended to the en-
tire nation if we, as a nation, are to
prosper. There is only one way that
the at present marooned condition
can be remedied and the full benefits
of the Panama canal can be realized
by the entire nation. Extend the
deep water route that now runs down
the Pacific coast, through the Pan
ANA and up the Atlantic, on through
the st. Lawrence and into the Great
Lakes. Then it will be possible for
Pacific coast lumber and other pro-
ducts to be brought around to the har-
bOrs Of Superior, and Michigan, and
Erie, and for the automobiles, the
machinery, the thousand and one
things produced and manufactured
in the Middle West to be carried to
the Pacific coast.
The opening of the st. Lawrence
will restore to the Middle Western
manufacturer and to the Middle
Western farmer the position in the

YOUR PANAMA N
HANDICAP

The building of the Panama canal
is another thing that has helped to
isolate the interior of the North
American continent. Our continental
trade exceeds by a wide margin our
foreign commerce, and between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts and be-
tween the Gulf and interior region
there has been built up a vast net
work of interchange in the goods
that are produced or consumed in
these two sections of the country.
The Pacific coast, for example, is a
good producer of lumber used in the
middle west and in the eastern states.
Automobiles used on the Pacific
coast are produced by the great auto
motive industries of the Great Lake;
region. The machinery that tills Oul
farms from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific comes out of the iron mines o.
Minnesota, the coal mines of the Hi
nois-K tuck Ohio Pennsylvania re
gion, and from the factories sur
rounding the Great Lakes.
Between the Atlantic coast and tn
interior there is a vast movement o
manufactured goods on the one hand
and of food stuffs on the other. Sue
is the present situation and such wa
the condition that had grown up priC
to the opening of the Panama can;
and to the World war. During til
war transportation by rail and by sc
had advanced in cost along with tt
cost of all other commodities. Whe

Shall We Move the Atlantic?

Dor had remained high; -transporta-
ton cost by land remained high, but
there had developed, during the war,
a surplus Of ocean carriers and the
ocean rates, enormously high during
the war, under the stress of compe-
tItion quickly began to return to-
ward their pre-war basis. Ocean rates
still remain above the pre-war basis,
being 25 per cent higher on the aver
age than they were, but land rates
remain about Is per cent higher than
they were, with little prospect that
they can be materially lowered so
! long as the costs Of labor and Of rail
reconstruction and terminal develop
ment remain at their present high
level.
Into these great and fundamental
changes in transportation costs,
themselves sufficient to dislocate the
business Of the nation, the Panama
canal entered as a new factor, short
ening the deep water route from the
Atlantic to the Pacific by 5000 miles.
This shortening of the distance, cou-
pied with 10-tO-One cheaper cost of
transportation per mile by water
than by land had the immediate eff
feet of bringing the Pacific and the
