British Apathetic
To Soviet Arms Plan

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Almost unani-
nous disregard by the London press
today greeted the filing Of the
Soviet universal disarmament plan
with the League of Nations security
and arbitration committee at Geneva
yesterday.
The plan. deposited with the sec
retary general by Boris Stein, the
Soviet observer, was the full text
of the proposal submitted before the
preparatory disarmament commits
sion last Novmeber by Maxim Lit
vinoff, the Soviet envoy.
None of the British papers com
mented editorially upon the plan
and only the liberal Chronicle and
the laborite Daily Herald gave the
news prominence.
The journalistic apathy towards
the Soviet plan was regarded as an
augury of the general attitude CT
Great Britain.

Y0LSTrAD NOT IMPRESSED
With PLAN OF MILLS
Says Prohibition Department Already
Operating Along Lines Of
''Stoppin4 Source

st. Paul. Mimi. Dec. 81 R-An-
drew J. Volstead said today that he
was not particularly impressed by
the Mills plan TO make prohibition
effective.
major Mills is entitled to good
deal of credit for not proposing u
reorganization of the service" said
Mr.. Volstead, author of the federal
enforcement act. THE prohibition
forces have been organized almost to
death. 1t has been the bane of the
service almost from the very start
Mr.. Noistead, now legal adviser
Of the northeast prohibition enforce
ment district, said the prohibition
bureau already is operating along
the same lines OF stopping the
source" outlined by Major Mills.
"If I understand Major Mills po-
sition," said Mr.. Volstead. lit is that
the main difficulty with prohibition
enforcement is that illicit liquor
comes from pure or denatured alco-
hol or prepared liquors, diverted
from legitimate to illegal uses.
THAT has not been the case in
this section for more than a year.
Nearly all the Illicit liquor sold here
Is the product of moonshiners. Par
ticularly none is imported or made
from denatured acohol.
major Mills suggestions along
other lines do not impress me as
particularly pew. The prohibition
bureau has been doing nearly every
thing suggested by him In his PLAN"
