WINSTON CHURCHILL
TO VISIT CALIFORNIA
British Statesman, at Seattle, Says
Criminal Convictions in England
Have Been Cut in Half.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, September r. Winston
Churchill, British statesman, was on
his way to California today after stop
ping here long enough to assert that his
countrymen are voluntarily drinking
less liquor each year and that as a re-
suit criminal convictions have been cut
In half.
Churchill declined to comment on the
prohibition problem in America. but said
1t would never succeed in his own coun-
try; "the British have a deep-rooted
prejudice against compulsion," he said.
British drinking is diminishing, from
champagne down to beer" Churchill
declared. During my five years as
chancellor of the exchequer, I had to
write OF 100000 pounds sterling a
year from this source. AS a result, our
criminal convictions have been cut In
half. There has been an immense de-
crease in drunkenness. and we've actu-
ally had to shut down some of our
prisons.
we realize 100000 900 pounds ster-
ling year from our liquor taxes
which. understand, you give to your
bootleggers."
Asked If he expected that the labor
party, whose recent victory removed
him from ONCE, would remain long In
power, he said:
= stn't see why they shouldn't
unless they do something crazy. And
they aren't likely to do that because
did anything radically. socialistic. they'd
be turned out of Office as quick as q
wink"

CHINESE BEGGARS
TURN TOCHOOS|NG
Starved Soldiers Board Ship,
Seize Food and Drown
Cook Over DispIeasure.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, China, September T.
The old fable about beggars not being
chooSers went by the boards recently
when a mob of half-starved Chinese
soldiers crowded the decks of the
Kinagteh. Yangtsze River steamer,
invaded the cooks galley, ate every
thing in sight and then threw the
cook overheard because the chow
hadn't suited them.
This was only one of the many
similar incidents that have occurred
on the Yangtsze in recent months. A
week seldom passes but what the dis
banded and starving soldiers of either
the government or some rebel generals
forces force their way aboard a river
steamer, manhandle the passengers
and devour all the food they can lay
their hands on.
Boat Owned by Chinese.
The Kinagteh, latest victim Of such
an episode, was owned and oficered
by Chinese. It was boarded at Marking
on its way to Hankow by 100 disbanded
soldiers. They refused to pay for their
passage and demanded food
They made a rush for the galley,
gobbled up all that the cook set out in
front of them and then said the food
was not good enough. AS balm for
their wounded dignities and damaged
stomachs they said payment of $500
would be Just about right"
Their demands for money we're
laughed at and in the scene that fol-
lowed the cook was thrown overheard.
The chief officer attempted to throw
over q line but the soldiers held him.
After watching the cook drown the
soldiers gave the chief officer a severe
thrashing for daring to delay the ship.
They also beat the captain because he
sounded the whistle. On arrival at
Kiukiang the soldiers quit the boat.
British in Like Trouble.
Two British steamers, the Poyang
and the Siangwo. met with similar
trouble short time previous to the
Klangteh episode. The Poyang was
boarded by 1900 soldiers at a port
called Shasi. They compelled the cap
tain to take them to Hankow. To add
insult to injury, detachment of gov
eminent troops farther down the river
opened fire on the rebels, which event
transformed a peaceful British river
steamer into rebel troopship.
The Siangwo ran into trouble at
Shasi. Two hundred soldiers boarded
the vessel and the captain was forced
to take them to Hankow. They de-
manded the best of everything in the
way Of food and the captain let them
have their way.

STATE RIGHTS VIEW
Great Issue Is Whether Dem
ocratic Government Will
Prevail, He Declares.

BY the Associated Press.
NAZARETH, Pa, September T.
Gov. Albert c. Richie of Maryland.
speaking here today reiterated his
government. The political situation
bristles with issues for the Democratic
party, he said, but the great issue Is
not so much whether the Democratic
party shall prevail as it Is whether
democracy and democratic government
shall prevail
The governors address was deliv-
cred before Northampton County DeKl-
ocrats at the fair grounds. 90
Rights and liberties that are guar
anteed TO us by charter and tradition
are being lost and sacrificed In the
fux OF events, and democracy itself
Is being put to the test" he declared.
The masses are becoming conscious
OF the appalling growth of the Fed
eral Government and of its overriding
Capitalization. They are beginning to
see the danger to their individual lib
erty from the decay and apathy Of the
right of self-government.
In the presence Of a government
with big business complex the ordi-
nary man loses interest in his National
Government, because it Is too remote
and loses interest in his local govern
ment because its functions are diverted.
He lets rights guaranteed to him and
his State sink into innocuous deSue-.
tude
He falls an easy victim to the propa-.
ganda and the programs Of energetic
minorities and to ra-governmental
groups and hierarchies which know
what they want and descend upon the
central government for it.
Smith Won In Defeat.
There is only one way to get the
people back into their Government.
That is to give them the largest pos
sible measure of self-government, indi-
vidually, In their business and In their
political life.
Speaking of the defeat Of Gov.
Smith in the presidential election,
Gov. Richie said Smith, in losing,
achieved a great victory for the cause
Of democracy.
He revealed to us both denocracy's
strength and its weakness and laid
foundations on which the future can
build" he said.
