TWO MILLION ARE
 DOOMED IN CHINA
Inhabitants Of Shenshi Province
 Will Be Hunger Victims

New York, April 22 (UP)-There is no way in which the lives of at lease 100000 persons in one famine area of China can be saved, and they will die before June, ac- cording to report presented to the board of directors of China famine relief, an American organization, by Grover Clark. Peiping publicist and famine relief commissioner.
 Clark has just returned from China. where he toured the famine areas in the north and west.
 "I went into the worst famine section of Shcnsi province, the Wei river valley. which normally is a great wheat country with q popula- ton of 6,000,000. At least 2,000,- 900 died of starvation last year, I was informed by missionaries and others. Almost certainly another 2,000,000 would be dead before the spring harvests. The only possible means of relief is getting them seed in time for early spring planting. That might aid those who lived until June. Nothing can be done for those who died before that"
 Regarding criticism of tho Chinese government by persons alleging it had done nothing to aid the famine sufferers. Clark said:
 "Thc Chinese government matched dollar for dollar the contributors of the American people for famine re- lief in China during the last year and a half"

their denial as to the great increase in drinking among young people. ill my opinion have been unable 10 controvert the charge. Their denial was simply general.
 They have not gone so far as to state that the Jaw is being enforced: they seem to be satisfied with say ing that all laws are violated. When their attention is directed to the universal disregard of the law as shown by the large amount Of liquor and manufacturing equip ment seized and the great number of arrests made for violations. their only reply is that these seizures and arrests moan that the law i> being enforced.
 While the drys came well pre- pared and their statements were nicely o-ordinatcd, their dcfensr docs not stand up under cXaminl- ton. They simply refuse to con- sider facts, figures, statistics anl official records, ignoring all factors which fail to aid their arguments.
 By their own testimony it is seen that they contend that everything good which has happened in this country during the past 10 years has been due to prohibition, but refuse to blame prohibition for any thing bad that has happened. For instance. one hears that prohibition las brought prosperity but that It has had nothing to do with the re- cent widespread depression an1 unemployment. Such argument 8 nothing short of remarkable.
 On the other hand the hearings completely exploded the theory that largo employers and big in Gustrialists were all in favor of prohibition. The pressure Of leaders in finance and industry as actual witnesses more than offset the stcrcotyped statements sent :n by q few who favor continuance of the law.
 Tho hearings were also useful for their great educational value. Tho committee had presented 10 it the 1 fact that there was another side to the prohibition question which many mcml CTS had actually re- | fused to believe existed. Today many members of Congress arc be- ginning to realize that there actu- ally are two sides 10 the problem and that it is not q closed issue pY any means.
 It was shown conclusivcly that there is an increasing expressed | sentiment against prohibition ;n this country. We have gone be- ycnd the time when it wasn't con- sidered good form to protest. I arl l convinced that the protests will be come louder and moro effective as | time goes on.

High Rents Also Cause :. Proprietors of Fancy :, Eating Places to Discon-

tf ASSOCldlCu IrCSS Sbdll W NIlitT
 Paris, April 22 Ps-The year 1880 will have q ring of mourning around it in the calendar of many Parisan gourmet.
 The passion for rebuilding, he has found, has sounded the knell of scores of the small "serious" rcstau- rants whose clients minds ran more to super excellent food than to mir rored walls and bright lights.
 Proprietors of these eating places depending upon low rentals and small overhead 10 serve the best food at a reasonable cost, have glanced at the rental provisions of the new leases presented them and silently folded their tents. Their eli .ents, finding their favorito rcstau- rants suddenly transformed into brightly painted, modernistiC food ,palaces with skyrocketed prices. have ebecn forced literally to pound the pavements to find a new homo of good food within the limits of q .spall poclletbook.
 -~Some famous chefs declare that the decline of the serious side of .restauranting is due to Il real decline ,ia the taste of the public. As the days 'pf the leaaurcly two-hour lunch arc Numbered by modern business de- -rnands, they say, 20 arc numbered olAc days of fine sauces, carefully srrcpared entrees and m-like ssWcets,
 s-s. Taste Turns to Steak
 -'~ One of tho most famous cooks of al France. who ran an exclusive little restaurant where kings and the great of tho earth had been charmed with his exquisite dishes. recently found himself so far in debt that he had to close and scramble around for the whcrewithal to pay his cred itors. He found that his clients want ed plain steaks and chops instead of -aOrtolans Surprise" and "Delice de Sole Dieppoisc." and he wasn't pre- pared to give them what they want ed.
 ~~s Another famous restaurant, dat ing back half q century, was forced to give way for the erection of an- other building. When it was erect cd, slick and shiny quarters were Provided for the restaurant. The 4xental was S7,20O a year instead of s&he former S1.2o0. Prices went up .ahd the clients went away.
 --aChain restaurants, and the larger Establishments with little overhead .4M proportion to the business done, Tire getting the trade. The gourmet .Mails that the big restaurant simply can't produce meals like mother used to cook. The exception to the tale of sor .rew is the left bank of the Seine, Where the, "Auberge". or country Bayern type of eating place has -oaught on. The general idea is to simulate, more or less, the kitchen or some Normandy inn, and the Lizarre surroundings generally draw .e~fair clientele. Rents are still fairly NTow in the outskirts of the Latin quarter, and as the proprietors of -these restaurants rarely spend much on them, they are still bringing m q good return. In most of them the food and wines are excellent.
 They do not, however, solve the 'problem of the tired and hungry business man in the center of Paris, Apho mourns the disappearance of lhis favorite food shop.

Prohibition Hearings Do Not Shake
 Set Views of Either Vets Or Drys

Editors Note: What was proved by the spectacular wet and dry hearings before the House Judiciary Committee, at which more than a half million words of rival argu- ment was heard?
 Did the vets gain any ground. or did the drys hold their own? What, il anything. was proved?
 The two factions disagree. as shown by the two articles below, one by dry member of the conl- uittcc and the other by a wet member, both written especially fo" the Herald and NEA Service.
 By Charles \. Chr;storhcrson
 Congressman from south Dakota
 Member of the Housc Judiciary
 Committee
 The hearings before the House Judiciary Committee on national prohibition brought to public attcn" ton the 10-yclr experiment in this field.
 The proponents of repeal of the 18th amendment and of modifiCd- ton of the Nolstead law brought 10 public notice what they contenl are the objectionable features of national prohibition and the activj- ties of the government in it's en- forccment. They pictured 10 the committee the worst features attendant upon this experiment, but utterly failed to bring forth any plan that is superior
 On the other hand the support CTS of prohibition presented an ar ray of facts clearly demonstrating the benefits of prohibition, both from an economic and moral viewpoint.
 The witnesses on both sides hay: been, in most instances. men ana women of note, students 'f present day conditions and thor oughly sincere in their views which illustrates the wide diver ccncc of opinion upon this qucs- ton now agitating the minds of the American people.
 But after listening carefully to all facts presented, both pro and con, I am convinced the propo- ncnts of repeal have failed 10 provo their case. They brought to the attention of the committee irregularities and failure to en- force in certain places, but they have utterly failed to offer any thing better and until they d) the 18th amendment. in my opin- ion, will remain in the constitu- ton.
 From the facts brought forth it is possible there may be some changes and qualifications both in the enforcement law itself and the procedure in court, but there will be no deviation from th@ fundamental principle of prohibit
