Krassin Goes On

LONDON, July l4.-(P)-Ice foes

seven Of the Mobile polar expedition
aboard-rescued when all hope seem

wastes.
Dispatches indicate work Of the
Krassin is delayed by fog, but the

Would Provide
Liquor for Homes

BOSTON, July l4.-tPy-A system
which would make intoxicating liquor
available for home consumption is
advocated in z letter SEN by John j.
Raskob, chairman Of the democratic
national committee, to committeeman
throughout the country and delegates
TO the democratic convention at Hous-
ton. The letter was made public here
today as members Of the Massachu-
sets democratic committee met here
for reorganization.
The letter which is thought to have
been the outcome of a letter from
p II. Callahan, Of Louisville, Ky,
regarding Raskob's standing on pro-
hibition, follows:
Social conditions throughout our
country have reached q state Of de-
cadence that demands correction.
My feeling is that a scheme of con-
troll OF manufacture, sale, transporta-
ton, and consumption Of Intoxicating
liquor. under which it may be had
for home consumption, and prevent
the return of the saloon. which was
the medium through which the use
Of liquor was abused, in such CON-
munities as vote therefore under q
local option law, would be welcomed
by all.
"All right thinking people, are for
temperance, law and order, but We
must have respectable laws IL We ex-
pect them TO be respected.
"All must agree that there is 2
wide lack Of respect for the eight
zenith amendment and the Volstead
act, and so that it behooves all Of US
to endeavor to secure such modifi-
cation Of existing laws as will result
in the restoration Of respect for our.
selves. our laws and our great con-
stitution.

views on this important question aft
