DALTON APPROVES
DRY i. S. VESSELS.
Fleet Corporation Head
Would Not Sanction Bars if
Permitted by Law.

Even if the law permitted It.
President Dalton of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation would not give his
approval to the restoration Of bars
on United States ships
Gen. Dalton, who has just returned
from European inspection tour,
declared prohibition does not retard
bookings on American ships. "In
many cases." he explained, "passen-
gers with women and children prefer
the American ships because there is
no drinking at bars and there is no
place on the ship that women and
children cannot go"
The great need of the United
States merchant marine, in Dalton's
opinion, is the construction of fast,
moderate sized cargo vessels and
few medium sized passenger ships
that can be operated the year around
at a profit.
"All over Europe" he said. "for-
eign shipbuilders are building these
type vessels and every shipyard is
busy. The answer is obvious. We
must also build at some time similar
ships to meet the competition.
american exporters will not
patroniZe American ships for patri
otsm. Their patronage is dependent

lean vessel cannot compete with u

 Editor Putnam Patriot. Putnam. Conn.
 Dear Sir:-Our attention has been called Co the enclosed editorial which was undoubtely read not only in Put nam but in many places in your part of the state
 May We suggest to you that the trick m the wet propaganda from which the mortality statistics are eafnered lies in this Before prohi- bition We had a certain death rate then came prohibition and in 1920, the first year when the Nolstead Act came into force, alcoholic mortality dwindled Co almost nothing. As a result of the seefflaw argument and the persistent teaching of the gospel of disobedience, the bootlegger receiv- ed announcement and the public in Connecticut began again to drink. However, the increase in alcoholism or alcoholic deaths. does nat bring the death rate to the level of the pre- prohibition era. Thus. as you see the percentages quoted by the vets really mean nothing.
 Figures supplied by the United States Bureau of Census show that if the alcoholic death rate of the pre- prohibition years had been carried away till now. there would have been a larger number of deaths by l5,64o That is, there are now walking around the country nearly l6,000 people who would have died under the pre-prohi. bition death rate from alcoholism. A clipping from one of our workers in another part of the state came to us this morning and am sending 1t on to you to show that liquor " in most impure and dangerous forms wa: sold in 1906 Its victims are mol counted as in the case of other poison' but indicated by the words many and hundreds of persons"
 No law win enforce itself but the death rate from alcoholism IS just a: preventable as the death rate from small pox If people would look upon alcoholism as a preventable disease as they look upon small pox. there would be an improvement in dbserv- ance of the law very soon. Will you not lend the weight of your splen- did influence toward bringing this about?
 Very sincerely yours.
