PLEAS FOR HELP IN
 ENFORCING DRYLAW
Federal Administrator Wants
 State Police Assistance

New York, Sept. (UP)-A plea to police for o-operation in closing speakeasies to curb crime was made by Prohibition Administrator Mau- rice Campbell in his formal reply to Police Commissioner Grover Whalcn on the liquor situation in New York.
 Campbell opened the correspond ence some time ago by sending batch of prohibition complaints to Whalen and asking police to take action against speakcasics under the state nuisance" law. Whalen's re- ply pointed out that federal agents had equal authority with police in enforcing the nuisance law and inti- mated Campbell was passing the buck"
 In his reply, made public yester- day, Campbell said "lct us forget the prohibition problem in this matter and together bend every effort to clean the name of this fair city"
 You, yourself have said" Camp bells letter continued, that the speakcasy is d breeding place for crime and immortality. As such, is it not therefore a purely local prob lem 10 be handled by the municipal authorities?
 "The law abiding people of this city, who realize the gravity of the existing situation and who have heretofore placed the responsibility for it upon the shoulders of the fed eral officials should know that their own focal servants also have respon- abilities and weapons wherewth 10 remedy the evil.'

CHURCHILL WANTS
 WAR DEBT TERMS
Says Britain Is Paying Too
 MuCh- Touches on Palestine

Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 4 (P - Winston Churchill former British chancellor of the eXChequer, speak ing here under the auspices of the national council of education, de- clared that the time had come for q restatcment of the British posi- ton in the war debts in terms more favorable to Great Britain.
 I've can no longer say that We are obtaining as much from Eu- rope, including arrears, as the United States is receiving from us, ' he said.
 He referred especially to the re- pudiated Russian debt of G09,000, v OO0 pounds sterling which he staIed France and Italy should be asked to agree was outside the ''self-de- nying limitations of the Balfour note.'
 Mr. Churchill regarded this debt as not impossible of collection if Russia re-dons the 'garb of civiliza- tion' in the next 10 or Is years.
 Coupled with his statement on war debts, the former chancc-er warned the British government that the outbreak in Palestine was "onlv bloody forotastc" of what would happen in Egypt and India if the "protcctinG and guiding hand ol Great Britain" were withdrawn. He had no doubt, he said, but that the dismissal of Lord Lloyd and the proposal of the labor government to clear the British garrison out of 1 Cairo and Alexandria have beer taken as a sign of weakness by the | Arabs in Palestine.

RUSSIANS STOLE
 MILLIONS IN CHINA
Operation Of Chinese Eastern
 Road Under Suspicion

Mukden, Manchuria, Sept. f UP) In an interview with the United Press, J. J. Mantell, American rail way expert and adviser to the Chi nese government. alleged that the soviet officials of the Chinese East ern railway had stolen untold mil lions of dollars from the road dur ing the past few years.
 Mantell revealed the results of a recent investigation he had made of the general railway situation in Man churia. He charged that during the year 1928 the Chinese Eastern had earned sG3,O00,00O gross, but that the officials reported only an earning of $13O,00O to the Chinese directors.
 Mantell said:
 "Thc Chinese Eastern railway could easily earn AS cents on each dollar gross. Therefore her profits should have reached $30,0o0,000 in 1928. The remaining money was un- accounted for.
 SovictS in Control
 '"The soviots have had absolute control of the road, the Chinese rep rescntation was very nominal. The Russians, therefore, were directly re- sponsble for the great graft.
 If the Chinese Eastern had been operated as other roads through China are operated. the Chinese gov ernmcnt could already have cleaned up it's debt to the Soviet Union, as | the present day valuation of the debt does not exceed Sl00,0o0, ,0o0. "Undcr the 1924 agreement (meaning the Mukdon treaty in connection with the Chinese Eastern railway) the soviots have obtained a stranglc-hold on North Manchuria which the Chinese government must remove somehow.
 "The Russians have kept the books so that it is practically i'm, possible to discover where the money went. but it makes it apparent tha' a return to the status quo ante II Manchuria is intolerable'."
 Mantcll came to Mukdcn to make q full explanation of his inNostlSa ton in connection with the disputed road.
