DRUGGIST LEADER HITS DRY REGIME
Diner Attacks Dishonest Pro.
 hibiti0n Enforcement

St. Louis, Mo. Aug. 24 R-Dr. Jacob Diner, head of the house of delegates of the American Pharma- ceutical association declared here that stupid and dishonest prohibi- ton enforcement has made the whisky prescription privilege such a nuisance that many druggists want to throw it out altogether"
 Dr. Diner, who is attending the annual convention of the associa- tion, said that mo law, but vague and complicated regulations have caused our difficulties with prohi- bition. There is no doubt that the prescription privilege has been abused to a great extent but that is no reason why the 50,000 repu- table pharmacists in the country should be branded.
 What's wrong with prohibition enforcement is shown up in a very searching light by the fact that we have had very little trouble with the Harrison Anti-Narcotic act Just after 1t went into effect there were some technical violations, but the violators were called in and shown where they were at fault without any of the sound and fury that has made prohibition nauseous.
 If the prohibition administration would make an honest attempt at honest enforcement. the liquor ques- ton would vanish"

never lost with . mid-continental candidate. except in the case of Harrison in his second race. Eastern nominees lost in 1884 and with Hughes in 1916. Furthermore. with the middle west in a state of fer ment and discontent, rather inimical to the east, it is believed at this time that it may not go solidly republi- can unless 1t can name its own can- didate.
 Then, there is the matter of Hughes's support of the world court and his apparent desire to see the United States participate in some in- ternational organization, such as the League of Nations. The republicans might lose the anti-league support if they should nominate Hughes. He was responsible, as secretary of state, for our acceptance of share in the Dawes annuities, and many people fear he might, as president, alter the whole war debt situation. Charles Evans Hughes, who won New York for the republicans as a liberal and q reformer, will be 6S years old before the republican na- tional convention is held. That is little above the usual age for a pres idential candidate. Furthermore, the fact that he has been defeated once would be against him, despite the obvious change in his attitude toward politics and in his skill as politician since his unsuccessful candidacy.
 His public service has included two terms as governor of New York, nearly six years as an associate jus tice of the United States supreme court, four years as secretary of state, and his distinguished leader ship, as commissioner plenipoten- tiary of the United States, in the international conference of limita- ton of armaments in 1921. Thus he has served in the executive, the judicial, and the diplomatic service of his country.
 If the White House gives It's sup port to Hughes. as 1t would proba- bly like to do, he can be nominated. For the southern votes, quite in the control of the president. combined with those of New York and Penn sylvania can determine the nomina- ton. New York certainly would support Hughes unless he continues to insist that he is 'too old" and Pennsylvania probably would. The conviction of eastern flnan- ciers that Hughes is slated to re- ceive the administrations support in the republican convention is be- lieyed in many quarters to account for the fact that the markets failed to show any particular disturbance over the Coolidge renunciation. i Financial interests are convinced | that he would carry on the Coolidge policies of caution and "soundness.

EUROPE DOES NOT

Sun President Finds Old World
 Inferior to New

New York, Aug. 24 R - What William T. Dewart, president of the Sun Publishing company, "did not see" on his summer tour of France Germany, England and Scotland leads him to conclude that there is still original wisdom in the ad- vice, don't sell America short"
 Mir. Dewart, in Europe since July ?. returned on the White Star liner Olympic.
 T can tell you more about my trip by mentioning what I did not see than by detailing what l did sec" he told newspaper men.
 q did not see anywhere as fine a street as Fifth avenue; nor as i'm posing a business building as any one of a dozen in New York.
 T did not see a theater that was as fine, or a play that was as good as even the average on Broadway, and none approaching our best.
 'I did not see an opera house
 
 am told the Metropolitan directors plan for New York, and I did not hear voice that could compete with our favorite singers.
 'I did not see hotel where the equipment. the service or the food was as good as New York's great hotels offer their patrons.
 'I saw no railway service ap- preaching the accommodations of the Twentieth Century or other crack American trains.
 "I did not see a motor car that was as comfortable as American cars at anywhere near the Ameri- can price. nor any cheap car that looked as good as our low priced motors.
 T did not see as good a news paper abroad as l can buy every day in New York; and as for the evidence of business enterprise as expressed in advertising, there !s nothing in all Europe to compare NltH tie COlllHleTClai eHeTsleS OI New York merchants.
 'I did not see an article of ner- chandise anywhere in the cities visited that l do not think ] could at least duplicate in style and quail ity in the shops of New York. and in the majority of cases. I believe at a lower price.
 T did not see as much evidence of prosperity in my entire visit as I would see in one day here and if the immigration bars are ever let down the rush for this country from all over Europe will be over whelming.

dent Green Of the A. r. Of L, and
his cohorts Of high priced labor union
officials are having high old time
in the old town these days.
Bedizened In afternoon clothes, for
NAL evening dress, and even morning
attire, they are hobnobbing with the
high and the mighty-all In honor
and homage Of their good friend, J.
Ramsay Macdonald, chairman Of the
British Labor Party and leader of
His Majesty's Opposition.
Green's Buffonery
Mr.. Green startled newspapermen
by dasing into the British ambassa-
dorial mansion on Connecticut avenue
Wednesday noon, all logged out in
Prince-Albert and high collar. The
British Ambassador, Sir Esme How
ard, had invited him and Secretary
Morrissey to be present at dinner
he gave for Macdonald.
Throws Swell Dinner
Wednesday night, however, Presi-
dent Green and his boys came into
their own. In the ultra-fashionable
Hamilton hotel they threw a dinner
party for the former Premier, at
which several ambassadors, number
of politicians, among them Secretary
of Labor Davis, and group of labor
union officials were present.
Mr.. Macdonald in his press talks
while here explained at great length
how it came about that the Indepen-

him for treasurer and how he ex-
pected to be elected to that office just
the same.

written for the Forward and am their
guest at the celebration"
"Mr. Macdonald, you are no doubt
aware of the fight going on in the
labor movement in New York, what

Forward and The DAILY WORKER
