REJECT MODIFICATION PLANK
LutheYans Anxious for Dry Voters
to Exercise Franchise in
November Elections

The current number of the Lutheran,
organ of the United Lutheran Church in
America. appeals to Lutherans to vote in
the forthcoming presidential campaign
and warns the dry voters that unless they
exercise their franchise laws lifting the
ban on liquor" will be passed.
The article stresses that neither of the
major political parties needed the de-
mands of the vets within their ranks for
a modification plank in its platform, and
makes it clear that the Lutheran holds
it was not the will of the people that
modification plank be inserted in either
the Republican or Democratic platforms.
The article reads in part:
The American people are patient with
transgressors of principle and easy going.
But in no instance in their history have
they surrendered high moral ideals to
profiteers and eXploiters of the poor and
the weak. 1t is paramount duty of the
defenders of sobriety and efficiency to
back up with voice and vote the majority
of delegates to the Kansas City and Hous-
ton conventions. If insincerity or ambi-
guilty in a platform exists, its propon-
ents should be rebuked at the polls
In a recent survey made by the statiSti-
clan of the United Lutheran Church, the
membership was given as 1900, 900 repre-
scented by 1875 congregations.

ascertain if they are wanted for any other
law violation.
The dry agents doing road work will
wear distinctive blue cap on which will
be large shield, with a similar shield on
the coat. In explaining this action which
was taken after six days conference of
administrators who fully approved it.
Commissioner Doran said:
Heretofore agents doing road work
could not readily be identified and
motorists were in a quandary as to
whether they were officers or highway
men, The new shields will be quite large
and visible for considerable distance and
we are hopeful that motorists will be able
to recognize that they are genuine federal
officers at a glance.
Agents have been warned against
stopping automobiles promiscuously and
have been told that drawing a weapon to
stop car, whether it is a suspected boot
logger or not. will result in immediate
dismissal

ENFORCEMENT APPROPRIATIONS
Representative Wood Has Esti-
mated Enforcement Appropriation
for New Fiscal Year

Representative Wood, of Indiana, acting
chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee, is quoted in Washington
dispatch of June Is as estimating the
cost of prohibition enforcement for the
coming year at $40, 100000.
On the face of the dry appropriation
bills passed at the last session of Con-
gress, dry law appropriations were made
available as follows:
Prohibition Bureau, $12,729,140; Coast
Guard, 1904 $50; Department of Jus
tice, about 100000; total $50, 794,O7O.
For the current year the direct dry ap-
preparations were in excess of $37, 100000.
The figures show the cost of additions in
the Prohibition Bureau are exact; those
for the Coast Guard are estimated. and
the same is true of those for the Depart
ment of Justice. Nevertheless, experts
say that these estimates are substantially
correct They cannot be determined to a
certainty for the reason that in making
appropriations for the Coast Guard and
the Department of Justice, Congress does
not segregate the cost of dry activities.
The appropriation for the Customs
Service in the new fiscal year is in excess
of $18000000 Just how much of it will
be used for dry law work is not known.
The amount allowed for the Prohibition
Bureau in the new Appropriation act is
about 100000 less than the amount
authorized for the current year. This re-
duction was effected in part through the
action of the bureau in turning over some
of its patrol work, especially on the
Canadian border, to agents Of the Gus
toms Service.

Prohibition Commissioner Doran on
July 81 announced that the department
plans to finger-print all prohibition law
violators and to place prohibition agents
doing road work in uniforms, SO they can
be easily identified. At the same time it
was announced that violators will face a
stringent system of measurements and
Identification tests, the purpose being to
make old offenders easy to watch.
The system standardized by the Amer
lean Police Chiefs Association will be
adopted in its entirety and Harry Niles,
assistant chief of police of Portland. Ore.
will have charge of the work. He has
been loaned to the prohibition bureau to
put the new identification branch into
effect.
In addition to finger printing and
measuring the prohibition law violators,
the records of each offender will be sub
mitted to the department of justice to

BRITISH BUILD
MORE PLANES To
BOMB MOSCOW
Five New Squadrons
to Be Added

LONDON, Nov. s. Develop
ment of British auxiliary air forces
and the formation of a kind of ter
ritorial air army are provided for
in next years air estimates. The
object is to add five new squadrons
to Britain's aerial offensive against
the Soviet Union.
The extra cost will be five mil
lion dollars. The move is also dic.S
tated by the fact that German civil
ian flying has undergone rapid de-
velopment in recent years, while
France not only possesses the
worlds largest air force, but is pre-
pairing an immense program of com
mercial aviation.
Auxiliary air squadrons for
trained civilians in city and country,
already exist in Britain. Among
the larger cities so equipped are
London, Glasgow and Edinburgh
These cities recently made such an
excellent showing in aerial maneuv-
ers that it now has been decided to
extend the volunteer service to
other places.

u. S. PUPPET WINS
IN PORTO RICO
Tr aitor Re fornists
Gain Seats

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Nov. 8
tU,D.-Felix Cordova Davila, resi-
dent commissioner of Porto Rico to
Washington, has been reelected,
final returns from Tuesdays cleo
ton showed today.
Twenty-Five of Porto Rico's 76
municipalities were carried by the
socialist-republican coalition, re-
turns indicated.
The coalition opposed the domi-
nant Alianza party, which has been
in power in the island for 20 years.
The Alianza party has also lost
several seats in the senate, while
the coalition has increased its
strength in the legislature.
The socialist coalition party is
led by Santiago Iglesias, Latin sec
rotary of the Pan-American Fed
Grafton of Labor, which has cloaked
the moves of American imperialism
in South America, and in every way
has attempted to defend the native
governments of reaction.

LIBERAL LABOR
COALITION DUE
Tories Counter Meek
Attacks

LONDON, Nov. 8.-The farcicaI
debates in the house of commons OF
the Franco British naval pact are
due to begin again with renewed
vigor next Tuesday, when Lloyc
George, former prime minister, will
present a liberal" resolution con-
demning the pact.
When Ramsay Macdonald, for
mer prime minister, attempted tc
force Premier Baldwin into reply
after the king had opened parlia.
ment, Baldwin evaded him by q
technicality. Likewise, Lord Cush-
endon, acting foreign secretary
evaded the weak attack of Lord
Thomas, '1abor" peer, by denying
that the naval pact exists. Thomas
believed this and removed his mo-
ton of condemnation.
Cushendon, in his speech, de.
clared that although Britain can
change it's position, it would not dc
so and ALLEVIATE the French govern
nient. By removing Britain's con.
sent for Frances large standing
army, disarmament would be made
impossible, said Cushendon.
In the whole matter the laborites
and the liberals seem to be acting
in coalition in preparation for the
coming general elections.

Attempt Segregation
in Pasadena School

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov. 5
by MaiD THE citizens of Pasa-,
6ena, where the Grover Cleveland
School is located, are circulating
petitions for signatures to demand
that the Negro students of that In
stitution be segregated as the Mes
leans in that district are. 1t has
been reported that several secre>
meetings were held by the whites
for the purpose of having the Me-
gro students removed to a separate
school.
The contention of the white resi-
dents is that the majority of thu
students are Negroes, one class con-
tanning but two white students. The
white-supremists have formed an
association called the Northwest
Protective Association, but the Me-
gro residents of the district are pre-
pairing to make vigorous fight in
opposition to the movement.

Poincare Still Delays
to Head Cabinet; Other
ReactiOnaries n a d

PARIS, Nov. S.-Former Premier
Poincare seems to be hesitant about
heading new cabinet, which prom
ises to be one of the most reaction
airy since the war. The Fright" par
ties, however, are urging that he
take the lead in the new govern
ment.
Should Poincare refuse, there has
been talk in government circles of
asking former Foreign Minister
BRAND, who expressed himself so
hostllely towards the Soviet Union
at Geneva, to form a new cabinet
There has also been talk of having
Theodore Steeg, resident general at
Morocco, attempt to form the new
cabinet. In any case its reactionarv
character is assured.
In the meantime the 'sleftn mar
ties, headed by the Socialists" are
reported to be forming an OPPOSE
ton bloc in the chamber of DEPUTIES.
