hibition would have be- unnecessary,
~ j. j. S. Haldane, Cambridge University
biochemist and author, believes
1t was Mr.. Hadane who, in the interests OF
science and as related in London dispatches,
recently submitted himself to "vivisection."
"Nordics and negroes include more people
who cannot control themselves when they get
alcohol than do the races Of Southern Europe,
Mr. Haldane saws. "You do not find any great
need for prohibition anywhere on this side of
the Atlantic except in Northern Europe. We
have slight problem of drunkenness here, but
in Scotland, which is more Nordic than Eng.

cially with regard to the socalled Nordic races.
I think it very possible that there Is something
in the Nordic temperament which calls Tor

Don't you think that, in America, Swedes
and other Nordic immigrants are more likely

of other kinds are contributed by the Nordics-
but they are not all perfect.

necessary for some parts of the United States.
I am not going to say it wasn't-no, won't
make any forecast regarding prohibition in
America. I am temperamentally against maxi
ing any more crimes of any kind than there
are at present by law, and my criticism of
America is that just because the American peo.
pie are so dynamic, they will not compromise
between saloons at every street corner and
prohibition.

compromise would have been probable, but that

Hungary Loses Fight
On Rail Car Transfer

When Rumania took thousands OF
freight cars and locomotives from
Hungary during the occupation, Hun
gary thought it had delivered enough
rolling stock. But the commission
for reapportioning the rolling stock
of the former Austro- Hungarian en-
pire thought differently. 1t was de-
cided that Hungary should deliver
$3.50 cars, so per cent before the
end of 1926, and 40 per cent before
the close of 1927. Besides, for the
cars not yet delivered, Hungary was
obliged to pay the highest interna.
tiona1 rate for held cars.

English duke who has been forced to

Authority on Industrial Legislation.

Tax reduction and reform in the
Federal and local fields present prob.
lem of ever-increasing Importance. In
the present state of affairs. the chief
gains are to be made in the local
field.
The Federal Government. during
the seven years between 1919 and
1926 reduced the national debt from a
peak of substantially twenty-five and
three-quarters billions to nineteen bill
lions. During the same period, the
State and it's local subdivisions in
creased their total debt from substan-
TALLY six billions to more than twelve
billions. During those seven years
Federal taxation fell from $42.S6 to
$27.38 per capita, while the total of
State and local taxation climbed from
$2824 per capita. IN 1919, 20 $45.18 in
1926. The effect of Federal debt and
tax reduction has been equalized and
counteracted by these enlargements
of the local burden.

What do these gigantic figures
mean in terms of production, saving
and self denial to the citizen who
must carry the burden? 1t means
that from New Year until the first

of the Nation are absorbed by its

It also was developed that the
werk of issuing automobile licenses

Says Expert Here

Professor T. G. Alexandrov, the
originator of the Dnieper River pow
er project, which will be the largest
hydro electric development in Europe,
has arrived in this country from the
Soviet Union to study large scale
hydro electric power plants and equip
ment factories. Professor Alexandrov
will negotiate purchases Of structural
machinery, equipment, including ex-
cavating machinery, and will examine
$4,000 horsepower generators, of
which seven will be installed in the
Dnieper plant in its early stages Pro-
fessor Alexandrov intends to remain
here about three months.
Preliminary work on the big pro-
iect is now well under way" said
Professor Alexandrov at his head
quarters at the Amtorg Trading Cor
poration, 165 Broadway, "and force
of $500 workers is operating. Ex
cavation work for the lock system has
already begun and work on the dam
will start in August. A temporary
power house of 5000 XIV. capacity
has been erected for the work, along
with two portable power plants and
other necessary buildings. Branch
lines from the main trunk line of the
railroad have been built on either side
of the river.
German construction equipment
has arrived and a shipment of Amer
lean equipment is en- route. Other
shipments made by the Amtorg will
start in August and September.

that we can keep within the estimat-
