Citrus Fruit Needs Marker.

A IL is not sweet for the citrus fruit producer
~ in this country and the indications are
that conditions will not improve. The need
for q foreign outlet for the rapidly increasing
yields Of the citrus orchards Of this country
finds the world market o scene Of great and
growing competition. Countries Of the South
ern Hemisphere, notably the Union Of South
Africa and Brazil, have entered the markets
with more and more strength. and now Pales-
time, too. has joined In. The crop Of oranges
alone In this country, in this season, Is esti-
mated to be more than double the average Of
the war years and the grapefruit crop Is ad-
vancing at an even more rapid pace
The growers face difRcult task, not only 70
obtain new markets but 70 hold those they have
3nR.

THIS fertile field for graft has produced
crop of murderous gangsters that challenge
our free institutions. If this kind Of business
is not stopped it will grow. No business man
will be safe from the levy Of tribute
One of the greatest policemen have ever
known, who rose from the ranks and knows
every twist and turn of a great law enforcement
agency, who Is as honest as the day is long, said
to me recently:
The police cannot cope with the beer gangs
and rum-runners, even if they tried to. 1t is
only a question of time when the murderous
assaults Of the bootleggers will call for the
declaration of martial law In many of our large
cities"
Let us examine the personnel Of this great
racket.
The hotsam and jetsam OF the underworld
has been washed into 1t. The racketeer In the
great racket Is the cadet" and the light house"
Of the vice racket Of or 3 or 10 years ago.
Sometimes he is Of q higher grade. former
thief or thug or ward heller. Occasionally
some are Of stiN higher type. for their ranks
are also recruited from the fringes Of society
with o capital 8.
In . recent noted libel suit Q detective Of
national reputation Yves engaged by the plain
tin, o newspaper Of international repute, 70
obtain afidavits or statements from . dozen
or 50 persons possessing important information
bearing on the defense Several were racketeers.
Let the detective tell the story:
"One Of the men had to see was the preei-
dent Of trading corporation with . head
ONCE In New YoFk's financial district Some
how could never find him In. I began to sus-
pect things. So went to an old underworld
acquaintance for assistance, one who had often
helped me. knew that he had relations with
some Of this mans associates. He told me
where the man sought lived. I drove out to
his home, which turned out to be one Of the
loveliest country homes I have ever seen in q
suburb so close 10 the city. 1t was Summer.
Rare plants spotted his well kept lawn and q
garage housed three cars. There was room for
two or three more machines.
When ] rang the bell butler, Of the Eng
hsh type such as you see In high society plays
on the stage, opened the door. I told him I
wanted TO see Mr.. x.
The master Is not ut home, SIR
Fl waited until the master came home. A
hieh-powered car Of foreign make drove up,
o Inverted hunky threw open the door and out
stepped my old friend x, cheap crook had
known in pre-prohibition days. He and his
kind, when or my men arrested them not 30
many years ago, lived in East Side novels, and
II they were lucky their friends were able to
get $500 or 81 600 together in 10 or IL days 30
as to get them out on bail while awaiting trial.
But today, when these buckos are arrested,
some Of the highest priced lawyers drive down
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-05-31

to the courts in their clients car and with a
handful Of Liberty bonds or 81 900 bills put
up security for the bootleggers. 1t is Great
Racket"
Let us quote Q paragraph of House Docu-
ment 1872 OF the third session of the Seventy
first Congress, the report of the National Com
mission on Law Observance and Enforcement"
etc.
las TO corruption, it is SUFFICIENT to refer
to the reported decisions Of the courts during
the last decade in all parts of the country,
which reveal a succession of prosecutions for
conspiracies sometimes involving the police,
the prosecuting and administrative organiza-
tons of whole communities; to the fragrant
corruption disclosed In connection with diver
sions of industrial alcohol and unlawful produc-
ton of beer: to the record of Federal prohi-
btion administration, according to which cases
OF corruption have been continuous and
ruption has appeared in services which in the
past had been above suspicion: to the records
Of State police organizations to the revelations
as to police corruption in every type Of munich
pality large and small, throughout the decade;
to the conditions to prosecution revealed In
surveys Of criminal justice In many parts Of
the land; to the evidence Of connection between
corrupt local politics and gangs and the Or
sani8ed unlawful liquor txafic, and Of sys-
tematic collection Of tribute from the trafac for
corrupt political purposes. There have been
others eras Of corruption. Indeed such eras
are likely TO follow wars Also there was much
corruption In connection with the regulation
of the liquor trafac before prohibition But
the present regime of corruption in connection
with the liquor trafic Is operating In Q new
and larger held and is more extensive"
THIS indictment was drafted by the COM
missioners and concurred in by all. Con-
corning the devastating effects of prohibi-
ton on the law enforcement agencies Of the
country they were unanimous. They stressed
that the court records reveal q succession Of
prosecutions for conspiracies, sometimes in
volving the police, prosecuting and admmistra-
tive organizations Of whole communities; and
police corruption in every type of municipality,
large and small"
Since the advent Of prohibition many police
men think more Of getting the bootlegeers'
tribute than Of detecting crime, or. more inn
portant still, preventing crime This Is sttu-
alton not commonly understood, and one that
is full Of menace. For the power the police
have to profit like parasites on this trade Is
debauching the very men we depend on for the
maintenance Of law and order, the protection
Of life and property.
The graft from this one source alone Is prob
ably many times greater than the sum total

Likes American Tobacco.

Manufacturing plants In the United
Kingdom in the past year used about
one-fourth the total world consumption
Of American fiue-cured tobacco, and
1t is estimated that about 70 per cent
Of all tobacco consumed in the United
Kingdom last year consisted of Ameri-
can-grown fue-cured.
Increased foreign demand for Ameri-
can flue-cured tobacco. particularly in
the United Kingdom, and decreased de-
mand for American fre-cured tobacco
indicates that Europeans are smoking
more cigarettes and doing less chew
ing and pipe-smokirig. The principal
use of American grown fre-cured to-
hscoo in the United Kingdom is in
cigarettes.
Great Britain's intensive advertising
campaigns in recent years. designed
to stimulate the consumption of ciga-
rettes made fram Coloniai-grown to-
bacco have apparently made little
headway in displacing American fiue-
cured types.

lamar OF PELLUCIDAR
Bv EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS TARTAN AST is The 2g APES

IMMEDIATELY runners were
l. Bent to the nearest kingdoms
Of the Empire and ere Tanar had
reached the land of Awful Shadow,
10000 warriors were marching
along the same trail to enforce the
demands Of the Emperor ard drive
the savage foe from Pellucidar.
As David approached the Land of
Awful Shadow, great column of
smoke was observable in the hor-
izonles distance ahead. It was not
necessary to urge the tireless war
riors to greater speed, for all who
saw guessed that the invaders had
taken another village and put 1t to
the torch.
And then came the refugees
women and children only-and be-
hind them thin line Of warriors
striving to hold back swarthy,
bearded strangers, armed with
strange weapons that resembled an
Gent arquebuses with bell-shaped
muzzles.
Loud were the shouts of Joy when
the first of the refugees discovered
and recognized the force that had
come to their delivery. The effect
upon the enemy Of the appearance
of 10000 well-armed warriors was
quickly apparent. They halted, and,
as we advanced, they Withdrew, but
though they retreated they gave us
a good fight.
David learned from Goork that
Tanar had been retained as host
age, but though he made several at
tempts to open negotiations with
the enemy for the purpose of ex-
changing some prisoners that had
fallen into our hands, for Tanar
and other Pellucidarians, he never
was able to do so.
Our forces drove the invaders far
beyond the limits of the empire to
the shores Of a distant sea, where,
with the loss of many men, they
at last succeeded in embarking their
depleted forces on ships that were
as archaic in design as were their
ancient harquebuses.
From some of the last prisoners
he took during the fighting at the
seashore, David learned that Tanar
still was alive and that the chief
Of the invaders had determined to
take him home with him, in the
hope that he could learn from
Tanar the secrets of our superior
weapons and gunpoWder.
When David saw the enemy ships
sailing away with Tanar, he was
sick with grief, for Tanar always
has been an especial favorite Of
the emperor and his gracious en-
press, Dian the Beautiful.
We had no ships upon this sea
and David could not follow with his
army; neither, being David, could
he abandon the son of his best
friend to a savage enemy before he
had exhausted every resource at
his command in an effort toward
rescue.
q It
IN addition to the prisoners that
l. had fallen into his hands, d.
vid had captured one of the small
boats that the enemy had used in
embarking his forces, and this it
was that suggested to David the
mad scheme upon which he en-
barked.
David turned toward his people.
''Those departing ships have borne
perhap a score more of the young
away lamar the son of Ghak, and
men of Pellucidar. 1t is beyond rea-
son to expect that the enemy ever
will bring our comrades back to us
but it is easy to imagine the treat
ment they will receive at the hands
of this savage, bloodthirsty race.
