MOSCOW, August 16.-Total prohibi-
ton of alcohol in the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics by 1888 is proposed
by a series of resolutions presented today
to the Council Of Peoples Commissars,
the Soviet cabinet, by various influential
Workmen's organizations
Shocked by recent statistics showing
that 400 900 workmen out of a total of
100000 were confirmed alcoholics,
arrested for drunkenness at least once
annually, workmens leaders who are
interested In social reform have been
pushing the prohibition movement,
Seven hundred million rubles were
spent for alcohol by workmen last year.
The proposals submitted to the
Council include:
/. Abolition of vodka and beer within
10 years, no supplementary vodka pro-
duction to be allowed during this period.
2. Diversion of 100000 rubles in
tended for vodka factories to cultural
work
3. Closing of all saloons adjacent to
schools, factories, sanatoria and public
buildings.
4. Prohibition of the sale of vodka
S. Prohibition of alcohol at all off,
cial banquets, jubilees and conventions.
s. Prohibition of the sale of vodka to
children under II.
7. Prohibition of advertisements OF
alcohol in newspapers.
8. Appropriation of 100000 rubles
for a hospital for alcoholics and of 15,-
600, 900 rubles for new movie theaters.
Local authorities III the Donetz Basin
announced today the prohibition OF the
sale of vodka in the state alcohol shops
of the Central Workmen's Co-Opera-
tives in the Shakty district. The au-
thorities at Niininovgorod have formed
35 anti-alcollol groups following the
revelation that 1,146000 rubles were
spent for vodka last year by the work
men of one factory district alone.
1t is understood that any movement
| for national prohibition would be eX--
| tremely difficult and very dubious OF
| success, since the government alcohol
monopoly is an immense source of reve-
nue.. Nevertheless. prohibition is COM

August l6.-Cheers, groans and cat.
calls from an audience of distinguished
political scientists and public officials at
tended heated impromtu debate on the
religious issue in politics at the Institute
of Public Affairs here early this after
noon.
The trouble started when Rev. A. C.

tartan clergyman and editor of the
Christian Register, took the meeting by
surprise by arguing that Roman
Catholic should not be elected Presi-
dent and that the voters should faca
the issue squarely instead of hiding
behind a wet and dry screen.
In this country we say" said DR..
Dieffenbach, that We do not believe
in monarchic conception Of God as he
Is defined in an avowed monarchic
church which claims under that God
suzerairty over virtual monarchic
state One church, the church of Gov.
Smith, believes in that monarchic God,
as it also believes that he, God,
through the Catholic Church alone and
exclusively, should rule over us. We
have this political theory unchanged
through the ages and unchanged at
this hour. All her children VOW obe-
dience to her doctrine and law, and
Gov, Smith calls himself deyout
Catholic
"All the other churches deny the
monarchic conception of God and pro-
claim the absolute separation of church
and state The Catholic Church in
all its history never has relented by
a syllable It's absolute claims TO primacy
