HOOVER FILLS IN OWN BLANK
WHEN CENSUS TAKER CALLS
President Has Answers Questions Already Written in
for Enumeration.
for Enumeration.

As head of the household at 1900
Pennsylvania avenue, President Hoover
today personally answered all of the
questions the Government wants to
know in its taking Of the decennial
census.
The President did not receive the
White House census taker at the front
door, but in the rear grounds of the
residence. nor were there any question
ing and answering during the important
event. The President had written In
his answers on the official schedule
during the morning In anticipation OF
this call. and when he met the census
taker, who in this case happened to be
j. Sterling Moran, census supervisor for
the District, he merely thanked him for
calling and placed in his hand the
completed schedule.
Inasmuch as this little scene was be-
ing recorded in the form of motion,
talking and still pictures, the President
took occasion to express the hope that
the people throughout the country would
cooperate to the fullest extent in max
ing the census complete and effective,
and called attention to the values OF
census taking principally from the
point of view of economic advance
ment and social determination.
Standing close by the President and
Supervisor Moran while this scene was
being enacted were Charles Patterson
Lamont, Secretary of Commerce, under
whose personal supervision the census
is being taken throughout the country,
and several of the Presidents ONCE as
sociates and newspaper men.
Mr.. Hoover and Supervisor Moran
greeted each other at the foot Of the
steps leading from the south portico,
and after the latter made known the
object Of his call, the President thanked

PORTUGAL CHECKS
EXODUS FOR BRAZIL
Reports of Coffee Crisis Help Gov
eminent Fight Against Drain
Of Man Power.

LISBON P).-PortugueSe emigration
70 Brazil, which threatened to drain the
country of its man power, is being slow
ed up under influence of the govern
f1ent here and through reports of hard
times resulting from the coffee crisis in
South America.
One consequence is that the authors
ties are increasing their efforts to d.
vert the outward now Of people to the
Portuguese colonies of Africa, where
there has been an acute shortage of
skilled labor. Previous efforts In this
direction, however, have had little ef-
feet.
The government had begun to have
genuine fears that If the exodus rate
continued for rs years PortugalS popu-
lation of about 5000, 900 would decrease
by 20 per cent. Ofiicial statistics for
1928, the latest complete figures, showed
that 34,297 young Portuguese had left
the country and that 27,728 of them
headed for Brazil. But 1t was estimated
that for at least part of 1929 the
movement had risen to a rate that would
have taken $4,000 men annually.
In Its effort to put brake on the
rush to Brazil, the government offered
free passage and land to emigrants for
Africa. 1t also declared q colonial

tee on prohibition had been Of inestima-
BILE value in clarifying the situation in
the public mind. He addressed his
testimony to the legal aspects of "solu-
ton of this vexing problem"
Lawyers, he said, had disregarded the
social issues involved and had lost
themselves in the legal aspects.
Massachusetts has been "a hotbed OF
wet activity" he said from the begin
ming of prohibition. Wet organizations
In that State, he said, stressed the three
issues of personal liberty, the legality OF
placing the eighteenth amendment in
the Constitution and now the question
Of establishing States rights to their
own liquor laws.
Allen cited several Supreme Court
decisions on the subject of personal
liberty, in which. he said, the individual
right was subordinated to the good OF
the community.
He referred to another decision which.
he asserted, held no citizen had INNER
ent right to sell liquor. Chairman
Graham asked If these decisions did
not discuss relations between the In
dividual and the State rather than th@
Federal Government The witness
agreed, but quoted other decisions hold
ing the Federal Governments powers
under prohibition were equal to those
of the States.
He quoted from a decision handed
down by the late Chief Justice Taft, in
which it was held that prohibition was
aimed at controlling drinking for the
good of the community and that an
obvious danger existed to the COM
munity If one person were permitted to
keep liquor for his own use.
Allen said a reservation to obey only
"iust and equal" laws was made In the
"Mayfiower contract"
He challenged that any such COM
pact could be a charter of charter OF
individual liberty.
THE witness asserted the compact,
signed aboard the Mayfiower, was fos-
tered by rebellious and mutinous
spirits aboard who had patents to
Northern Virginia and not New England
The "just and equal" laws which
were passed under this compact, he
said, included penalties for drunkenness
and for excessive drinking in homes.
Later the Puritans, he said, punished
"tippling for over half an hour" or
"tippling at unreasonable times" He
asked if such regulations would not be
considered infringement of personal
liberty.
Allen said the necessity for abstinence
was recognized in the Army and on
athletic teams and argued abstinence
should be applied to the Nation to pro-
tect the vitality and well being of all
people.
In conclusion, he offered as "the way
out of this difflcult situation" strict en-
forcement by State and local authorities
instead Of having the entire bur4ez
placed in the hanSs OF "a horde q -,
erAl enforcement agents."

CANADIAN OPPOSES
LIQUOR EXPORT ACT
Senator Urges Investigation
to Show Effect on National
and Economic Life.
n tha Assoclated presa.

~ the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, April 2.-Opposition to the
government bill to prohibit the export
Of liquor into the United States was
voiced in the Senate last night when
the measure came up for second
reading.
A proposal by Senator WiIloughby
that special committee be selected by
the Senate to secure information as to
the probable effect of the bill on Cana
da's national and economic life and on
international relations met with cpposi-
ton from Senator Dandurand, govern
nlent leader, who refused to accept the
amendment.
Vote Shows Opposition.
WilloEghby said while he believed In
the most friendly relations between the
two countries, he did not think Canada
should be too generous, declaring that
the Volstead act was not being well
enforced and that a straw vote now
being taken in the United States showed
opposition to 1t.
He contended vast amounts of money
were invested in distilleries and that it
was doubtful If any act of Parliament
could stop smuggling. He declared the
Senate was entitled to hear evidence
on now the trade was growing. now
much money was invested in it. what
revenues were derived from it, and what
the extent Of Canada's international
duties were.
Senator Dandurand, replying. said,
1.-THE question of loss to private individ-
uals or to the government is but faint
interest In my mind when I am facing
o problem of national morality"
Against Smuggling.
He said the government had decided
it could no longer allow anything which
might be regarded as making Canada q
party to smuggling Of liquor into the
United States.
He expressed the opinion that in
vestorS in distillerieS had been counting
on more legitimate trade pointing out
that spirits in Canadian warehouses at
present amounted TO 3e.000,000 gallons,
while the volume cleared annually from
Canada for the United States totaled
only about 100000 gallons. He said
another point to consider was that most
of the applicants for permits to export
liquor across the border were made by
citizens of the United States who did
not share their profits with Canadians.
Debate on the measure was adjourned
until today.
