Wlikey today reiterated he has re-

supreme court decision.
Chain grocery proprietors said
they were not taking malt of their
shelves and do not intend to- hold

Manufacturer Not Frightened
An Indianapolis malt manufat-
turer reported no squirt in demand
occasioned by the order and said
he felt certain the government
will not interefer with the manufac-

The proprietor of one large
grocery chain insisted display could
not be regarded as evidence of the
purchasers intent to manufacture Of
illicit beverages.
They made and sold crooks for a
hundred years-how are they going
to know they aren't used for

pers are used for harmless soft
drinks; malt and yeast for baking;
bottles for catsup. I don't see how
they can stop their sale now"
Washington dispatches said the

that no action will be attempted

Englands problem in India is
comparable to that which United
States face in the Philippines, with
this important difference-it is
multiplied a nundred-fold by the
welter of races, languages and re-
ligions which divide and subdivide
India into what many feel is an al
most hopelessly disunited nation.
1t is almost impossible to con-
ceive of the problem, for example,
that the language differences pre-
sent. There are lat separate and
distinct languages in India. And

Blinded by Salt Lake

Because of the delay at Crete and
the terrific heat at midday, the
plane carrying Miller frequently
took off at 4::30 in the morning for
the days fight.
BY midday, its occupants were
almost undressed in the terrific
heat, removing their shirts and even
their shoes.
In Persia, the plane crossed a
solid lake of salt twenty-five miles
in diameter. 1t was so blindingly

Tension Is Great

The principal source of the heat
beneath the cauldron is the fric-
ton of agitation by the national
congress, composed of the followers
of Mahatma Gandhi.
This congress has been working
for forty-f1ve years toward the goal
of self government in some form for
India Slowly the movement has
been gaining strength and influence
Additional heat is provided by
midas unfavorable economic posi-
ton which has come about largely
as a result of the World war trade
situation, combined with bitter
hatreds between religious communi-
ties which have been responsible
for many of the recent outbreaks.
The religious tension is so great
that rioting is likely at any time.
For instance, trouble may be
caused if a Mohammedan inter
feres with one of the sacred bulls
of the Hindus which wander casu-
ally through the streets.
The reforms of 1919 gave India
a start toward self-government. In
the last ten years, however, only a
small section of extremists has de-
manded complete independence.
The agitation of Indian leaders
has centered during the decade on
obtaining a fuller share in the gov
eminent of their country with a
view to the attainment of dominion
status similar to the positions in
the British Empire of Canada and
Australia.
AT present, the principal hope
mere of lowering the cauldron's
temperature is the forthcoming pub

:. 0REIGNERS GET JOBS
Wages Are Spent in Own
Lands, While Many
Are Idle Here.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON. May IAN
cver-increasing number of American
industrial units are being driven out
of the United States to locate in
foreign lands through the backlash
of our high tariff.
Official sources here estimate that
upward of 1000 independent or
branch American factories now are
in full blast in foreign countries be-
cause of artificial restrictions against
goods made in the United States.
No Unpatriotic Action
Resenting the fact that the Amer
lean tariff wall prevents the sale of
their goods in this country, foreign
governments are acting to stop the
sale of American goods in their
countries. American manufactur-
ers. therefore, must choose between
the total loss of their foreign trade
and the establishment of branch
factories in the affected regions.
Such manufacturers are guilty of
no unpatriotic action in taking such
a step. They simply are making
the best of a situation forced upon
them.
It is estimated approximately 50o,-
600 people now are employed by
American concerns abroad, which
jobs-were it possible to export
American-made goods direct from
this country, might be held by
American workers instead of for
cign.
Spend Wages Abroad
AS things are now going, econo-
mists fear, America soon will become
he world banker while other ma
ions will become the worlds pro-
lucer. America will furnish the

For this reason, Gandhi, now in
Jail, has been insistent in his propa-
ganda against foreign cotton goods.
Gandhi insists his followers wear
rough homespuns and that they
weave at least one hour day on

producing their own cloth and
keeping more money in Indian.
Men in Karachi who are authori-
ties on the cotton situation told me

that it is increasing in effective
