SAYS j. s. SHIPPING
HAS BRIGHT FUTURE
T. V. 0'Connor Believes Era
of Uncertainty for Merchant
Marine Is Ended.

T. V. OConnor. chairman of the
Shipping Board. believes that after a
long period of uncertainty American
merchant shipping "at last faces a
future that is bright promise"
1T has become evident to all of us
that at last We are going to have a
real merchant marine" he said in an
address prepared for delivery today at
the opening session of the second ma
tional conference on the merchant
marine, called by the Shipping Board.
Steady Increase Cited.
I'VE have all noted the steady in
crease in our export trade, the growing
interest of our people in matters re-
lating to the sea, the enactment of wise
and sympathetic laws designed to aid
the merchant marine. the increasing
availability of American capital for
maritime investments, and the rapid
transfer of Government tonnage to
private ownership" he said. ITO those
of us who try to take large view of
things, these, factors all seem to be
working toward new day for American
shipping"
The conference, called to afford op-
portunity for an exchange of views on
problems facing American shipping and
shlpbuldlng, brought together many
leaders of these industries, together with
maritime labor leaders and representa-
tives of trade associations.
Issues Up for Discussion.
Means of reducing the differential be-
tween shipbuilding costs in this country
and in Europe, methods Of increasing
patronage Of American ships, DISPOSE
ton of the Governments laid-up fleet,
and safety of life at sea, were down on
the conference agenda for special con-
sideration. Other problems included
the advisability of an "anti-poaching
act" to prevent foreign ships from en-
croaching on this country's direct trade
with other nations, the possibility of
securing lower rates through the
Panama Canal, and the Americaniza-
ton of crews on American merchant
men.
The sessions will probably continue
through Friday.

DRIER CHRISTMAS
 IS SEEN BY DORIAN
Wet Goods Plentiful Bit Less
 So Than Last Year

Washington, Dec. 1G.-There will be plenty of liquor available for the Christmas holidays, but not quite as much as heretofore.
 And there will be less pre-"ar or imported stuff than ever.
 That is the Yuletide message Of Dr. James NJ. Doran, |. S. prohibit ton commissioner. He plans no spec tacular drive for the holiday season, he says. Nor does he suggest that the country has been dried up or even that liquor is very hard to get But he looks forward to q happy New Year because he believes that the total volume of America's con- sumption vii. be somewhat less than a year ago.
 Things change slowly he says, "but they change"
 No one knows how much liquor will be consumed in the United States during the holidays But 1t appears as if there ought to be at least drink of whisky or gin. or a glass of wine or q pint of beer for every adult citizen in the country. Possibly several.
 Students of prohibition agree that there probably will be as much liquor unseized and available during the holiday season as federal pro- hibition agents seized last year. Some think a lot more. But assuming that it's about the same, that would make 73.OOo,O0O glasses of spirits-whisky gin, brandy and alcohol; 23,30O.0O( pints of beer and about 3,5U0,OOl glasses of wine.

ada and smugglc it in.
 "Out around Seattle there's some smuggling in Puget sound and q certain amount along the Pacific Coast, although California is coming more and more to a moOnShine basis along With the rest of the country. In a state producing so many grapes there is bound to be certain amount of wine manufactured. but not so much of it finds its way into Los Angeles and san Francisco. In san Diego and other cities near the Mexican border there's some inn ported whisky.
 "Thc more you go inland thc loss likely you are 10 find imported liquor. In Denver there's sugar whis- ky made from sugar beets. In Mem phi:, Fort Worth and most other southern cities youll find only corn lquor plus a little gin made from moonshine alcohol. In towns and cities of the grain belt there's q GUS tom of 'spillin%' near-becr with this alcohol.
 Most of the beer now made is found in big cities. It's made under ground and we call it alley beer There isn't us much .needle beer as formerly.
 "Wc think the smuggling of liquor from Cuba has Eeon altogether cut off. although there's still il little coming in from the Bahamas" Niil-Nc>t States seem to Be Dr.cst 1 Asked what sections of the nation appeared to do the least drinking, Dr.. Doran suggested that states ! where little liquor was seized, such as Kansas Oklahoma. Nebraska, . Colorado. Wyoming and Utah. prob ably were among the dricst. But, he added, no one knew just what the seizure figures really meant beyond their face value. New York, of course, probably is the Wettcst
 Those who can afford to pay high CT prices will get the imported Honor, while those not so prosper ous will drink up the bulk of the mo0nshine product.
 Very little, if any, of it will cause sudden death or blindness, for the moonshincrS have improved in rec cnt years If properly made and aged, the moonshine stuff should bo no more dnlcterious to health than the genuine. But you never can tel. and there's always chance that some bootle@ger will make mistake and get hold of some wood alcohol
 You don't know just what you re going to get. and evcn'if only q little bit of the whole batch is actually dangerous. someone is going to Sc that" says Dr. Doran. And q Whoi' lot of moonshino is being sold as i'm. ported stuff. It's q damnable sWln' dle.'

 Is there any town in the country where a man cant get drink? Dr Doran says there undoubtedly are such places, but no one seems to know just where they arc.
 "l cant say from personal oNpcri- cnce," says nr. Doran, "but l know that it's harder to get in some places than others.
 And it gradually will become more difficult. There is no apparent marked decline in drinking. but be- lieve it is growing less. The Jones l law has driven thousands of the small fry out of the bootlcgginG bus ] iness.'
 The commissioner was asked to discuss drinking conditions in vari- ous sections of the country-what people drink and where they get it.
