ENDORSE JOBLESS
INSURANCE BILL;
RALLY ON sept. |

On the day that the Communist
Party published it's bill providing
for unemployment relief for all
workers, the American Federation
of Labor, through its fascist presi-
dent, Green, comes out and admits
unemployment is growing worse.
He offers no plan for relief, except
continued collaboration with the
bosses in t h wage-cutting
schemes.
We must take Green's figures
with the greatest suspicion. He is
an agent of the bosses. On every
occasion he lies about the facts of
the crisis and the class struggle.
His figures show that unemploy-
ment in the A. F. of L. increased
from June to July one per cent
namely, from 20 to 81 per cent of
the total membership. This is
deliberate underestimation At least
80 per cent of the A. F. of L. mem
bers are without jobs. Green dares
not publish the facts. The most
drastic unemployment in the ranks

CARDINAL APPEALS FOR HELP TO SUPPRESS ALCOHOLISM
In MISSION FIELDS
Cardinal Van Rom Addresses Letter International Catholic Leau
Against Alcoholism Urging Increased Activity Against Spread
of Alcoholism Among Natives in Mission Fields

pamphlet Alcoholism and Missionary
Work The reading of this pamphlet
has convinced us more than ever that,
not only in our own and other civilized
countries, but perhaps still more in
the mission field, the fight against al
cohol must be undertaken and ener-
getically pursued. We are profoundly
convinced that the INSCRIPTIONS dis
tribution Of pernicious alcoholic bev-
erages among the native populations
of our missions is sad obstacle to the
propagation of the Faith. It is there
fore the duty of every missionary to
fight against alcohol by word and eX-
ample and to prepare himself for this
fight by the study of the problem and
the remedies which may prevent
the spreading of the danger. One
of these remedies consists in the col
Letting of facts concerning the abuse
of this poison and its consequences, on
the importation of these perniciouS
beverages by the whites, and in con-
tinually drawing the attention of the
public in our missionary reviews to
the fatal traffic in alcoholic liquor, to
its disastrous effects on the economic
prosperity of the colonies, to the de-
moralizing influence of drunkenness,
and above all in continually pointing
out how greatly this evil hinderS the
progress of missionary work.
It would also be very desirable to
publish the facts in scientific reviews
and in the daily press. A Uerttdble
crusade, in ao1lich all missionaries Join,
must be undertaken.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Forty Million Barrels of Beer Per
Year if Volstead Law is
Repealed, say Brewers

Cincinnati vets are excited over the
proposal TO legaliZe 2.75 per cent beer.
They have visions of making Cincinnati
not only the beer metropolis of Ohio but
OF the nation. According to the Cincin-
natl TipleS-Stdr, Joe Obergsfeld, general
secretary of the United Brewers and Soft
Drink Workers of America, says:
IF the Volstead law were amended to
permit beer of 2.75 per cent alcohol in
stead OF the present limit of one-half of
one per cent it would have an almost in
Simultaneous effect in solving the unem-
ployment situation of the country
John Bruekmann, president of the
Buchanan Company of the Cincinnati
Brewers, says:
There is hardly an industry in the
country that would not feel the immediate
effects of such change. The govern
ment would get a revenue of probably
$240, 10000 in the first year from tax on
beer alone without counting the license
fees During the war the tax on beer
was Sc on a barrel of 81 gallons. If the
same tax were imposed the above total
would be produced if 100000 barrels
we're consumed the first year and it might
exceed that figure"
William F.. Hess, county auditor of Ham
ilton County and secretary of the Ohio
Brewers Association df there is such an
organization), says:
eff the people could have ITS per cent
beer they would not desire hard liquors
and the result would be a more sober and
more contented nation"
According to the TimeS-Stdr there are
O number of breweries in Cincinnati that
could resume the making of ITS per cent
beer Immediately if Congress would
change the law to permit it.

The recrudescence of alcoholism that is
remarked in the African colonies is ex-
citing eVer-growing attention in many
quarters. The Convention of st. Ger
main-en-Laye, of 1919, which was to have
checked the importation of distilled liquor
in the colonies of Central Africa, does not
some colonies, the importation is increas-
ing from year to year; the Introduction of
trade spirits" has not had much effect
since no generally admitted definition of
this term has been found; the Introduction
of native distilling does not seem to be
observed in certain colonies.
It is not only the missionaries and
friends of the natives who are concerned
at this state of things, the more enlight-
ened of the native population themselves
give utterance to protestations and claim
to be preserved from it. The Interna-
tional Bureau at Geneva for the defense
of the native races has decided to take up
the question and to request from the CO.
lonial governments the revision of the
Convention of st. Germain-en-Laye so
that it may be more in keeping with &C

GOVERNORS OPPOSE
South Carolina Executives are OPP
posed to Government Control
of Liquor

With state control of liquor under scru-
tiny as part of current prohibition dis
cussion, interest is again focused on
South Cardinals former state dispensary
system. Opinions of former governors of
the state are regarded as Illuminating the
effects of the state liquor control plan
which was abolished after the state be-
came convinced of its failure.
At present, there are 10 men who have
occupied the chief executives chair Of
South Carolina, which was the only one
of the union to attempt state control of
liquor sales. Six of these governors are
opposed to repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment or modification of the Vol
stead act. This includes two who had di-
rect contact with the state control sys-
tenn. The seventh member of the group
opposes the sale of liquor, but favors state
prohibition rather than Federal enforce
ment.
The present Governor of South Caro-
lima, John G. Richards, is opposed to any
changes in the present liquor laws. He
favors enactment of statutes under which
a second sale of intoxicants would be
'chain gang offense with no alternative
of fine. He also favors laws which would
make the purchaser Of liquor equally
guilty with the seller.

BETTER CONDITIONS PREVAIL

A double victory, one tangible and con-
crete, the other Intangible but possibly
more important, has been scored by the
government in the enforcement of the
prohibition law in Oklahoma, in the opin-
ion of the United States District Attorney
who recently prosecuted number of liQ-
uor cases in one Of the counties.
Of 102 defendants named in the suits,
only % have been exonerated. There have
been eight convictions, % pleas of guilty,
and 40 of those indicted remained fugi-
tives from justice. Among chose who
faced fines or prison sentences are may
or, police chiefs, police officers, former
sheriff and several well-knoWn citizens.
Possibly more important than the indi-
viduaI convictions, as the prosecutor sees
it, is change in attitude on the part of
the people of Oklahoma. Where former
ly citizens through fear, intimidation or
false civic pride were reluctant to reveal
conditions that they knew to exist, there
is now evidence of a much stronger atti-
tude.

BELGIAN COMMISSION
REPORTS

The parliamentary Commission,
charged by the Belgian government with
the study of the notifications that might
be introduced in the liquor law which for
bids the sale of distilled liquors for con-
sumption on the premises has recently
finished its work and submitted its report.
It recommends, according to the Belgian
press, the maintenance of the law but
proposes the following notifications:
1. Permission for liquor sellers to keep
spirits in their dwelling houses for their
personal use.
2. Extension to private clubs of the reg
ulations applying to licensed houses.
3. Reduction of the minimum quantity
for the retail sale of spirits from two
ltres to one litre.
4. Limitation of the retail sale of spirits
to merchants selling wine and other. beV-
erages for off-consumption.
5. Modification of the penal measures
relating to public drunkenness.
g. Readjustment of the licensing tax
with view to the indirect limitation OF
the number of establishments for the on
sale of drink or for the retail off-sale OF
spirits.

Smith. habitual violator of the liquor law,
was given the choice of working twelve
months on the roads, or of leaving the
confines of Caswell County for the next
five years One hundred and four gallons
of liquor were recently confiscated in
Smiths home Judge Walter Winstead,
who rendered the verdict said that, in his
opinion the "exile law could be enforced,
but that no test of it's constitutionality
has been made in court of record
Smith may appeal to the Superior
Court, which would precipitate a legal
test
