lean Participation in For.
eign Sweepstakes
NEWSPAPERS ARE WARNED
Complaints Against Wholesale
Violation Of Law Come From
All Sections

Washington, June 20.-(Ry-A fed
eral crusade against American parti-
cipation in foreign sweepstakes lot
teries was announced Saturday by
solicitor Donnelly of the postoffice
department.
In a statement, Donnelly called the
attention Of newspapers, foreign pro-
motors and all individuals using
American mails to the contemplated
campaign and said 1.-The government
will do everything in its power to
stamp out such illegal practices"
Donnelly said that during the last
few months Postmaster General
Brown already had issued more than
100 fraud orders lin an attempt to
suppress this lottery traffic."
Caustic complaints from every Sec
ton Of the country" Donnelly added,
have reached the department against
these wholesale violations of law.
Nears National Disgrace
1T Is the intention of this depart
ment to strictly enforce the drastic
provisions Of the statute against lot
teries with a view to breaking up an
unlawful practice which recently has
grown to such huge proportions in
American cities, towns and villages
as to border on a national disgrace"
The solicitor asserted "the inten-
ton of congress to bar from the mails
matter of every kind relating to a
lottery seemed to be made clear by
restrictions upon the press.
I'm specific language" he warned,
THE law forbidS the deposit or car
riage in the mails of not only any
newspaper containing any advertise
ment of any lottery, gift enterprise,
or scheme of any kind offering prizes
dependent upon lot or chance" but
also of any newspaper or other publ
cations containing any list of the
prizes drawn O awarded by means of
any such lottery. enterprise or scheme,
whether said list contained any part
or all Of such prizes"
May Be Prosecuted
The solicitor remarked that promo
tiers abroad are violating penal law
by mailing forbidden matter into this
country, and may be prosecuted If
found within United States borders.
Deploring the losses of hundreds Of
thousands, while huge winnings Of a
few are broadcast. the solicitor said
the so-called sweepstakes, when 1t Is
not in fact a pure fake as so many
are, is usually based on some horse
race, but has no connection there
with various sweeps eminating
from the Irish Free State, Canada.
Newfoundland, Mexico. and other
countries are based on the same race
run In another country.
But the old fashioned Louisiana
lottery and other world famous lot
teries Of earlier days which brought
about the enactment of our stringent
federal anti lottery statute were mere
pygmies in comparison"
