criticized Gov. Al Smith 4 speech Of
acceptance.
Nolstead charged the Democratic
Presidential candidate with avoiding
his party,s issues in dealing with the
liquor situation He also charged
Governor Smith .'purposely seeks TO
become the candidate Of the liquor
interests
The New York Governors plan,
whereby the Eighteenth Amendment
would be amended 80 that each state
could determine its own standard Of
alcoholic content. was termed q
Joke" ny Voietead.
Volstead's statement follows:
Sees 1t Bid To Interests
I'm his dealings with the liquor
question, Governor Smith goes out.
side the issues as made by his party.
He plainly does this for the purpose
Of appealing to the vets so as to OBJ
tain their support. He purpOsely
seeks to become the candidate OF the
liquor interests. Every organization
against prohibition will support him.
"They are too snreWd to be fright.
ened by any protestation of the Gov
ernor that he is opposed to the
saloon. They know that the policy
that he has advocated will In the end
restore the liquor traffic IL the
scheme he suggests Is adopted.
THE promise OF Mr.. Smith to en-.
force the prohibition law and the
Eighteenth Amendment is no more
sacred than the oath he took to
enforce the Eighteenth Amendment
when he became governor Of New
York. He approved the bill to re-
peal the liquor laws Of New York
for the enforcement of that amend
ment, and has, so far as ] am
aware, never recommended any
other law to the New York Legis-
lature for its enforcement.
A Duty Of His Office
"It il as much the duty OF the
State and its governor to enforce
the Eighteenth Amendment AS 1t is
that Of the national Government.
His complaint against awless-
ness cannot with good grace cone
from a person who Is largely re-
sponsible for the condition of which
he complains. Had he vetoed the
bill repeating the liquor avs of
New York and done his duty in
enforcing them, there would have
been much less occasion foe com
plant"
The Washington times., 1928-08-24

Every man is nominated on the
platform OF the supreme body OF
his party" he said, to wit, the
national convention, nobody can
amend the platform"
Dry Support Pledged
The Governor laughed at reports
that he was keenly disappointed
because some OF the outstanding
dry leaders OF the South, includ-
ing Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia. Senator Walter +. George
of Georgia, and former secretary
Of. the Navy Josephus Daniels "
North Carolina, were not present
ut the notification ceremony.
Why they were all up TO Albany
last week and had long talk
with them about my acceptane e
speech" the Governor said.
Dry leaders who conferred with
the Governor prior to the notifica-
ton. including Senator Thomas j.
Walsh Of Montana, are understood
TO have told him he could count
on their active support in the cam.
paign despite his personal view
on prohibition II he would promise
to enforce the dry law so long
rs 1t remains on the statute books.

TOKYO, May 3-Plans for q vast Japanese colony in the state of Para, Brazil, have been dis closed by Hachiro Fukuhara, busi ness leader, to capitalists.
 A colonization company is con templated, financed by Japanese men of wealth, to take over de yelopment of more than 100000 acres on the Acara river, tribu tary of the Amazon.
 The area, owIied by the state of Para, was offered to the Jap anese for development in 1925, and option was taken then. A survey taken since has encouraged the scheme. '. esa. Z The ..company's first undertak ing would be to transport thithel 10000 Japanese families, each oi which would be given 60 acres free. A 30 percent levy would be made on crops to pay for sanita ton facilities, transportation and schools. The region is suited fol growing cotton, rice, tobacco, co cpa and oil plants. The govern ment of Japan will take no part but will welcome such emigration Premier Tanaka says.
