WCE clinked softly in tall hlghbau
glasses throughout the sumptuouSly
fitted restaurant Now and then,
punctuating the hum Of quiet con-
versation, there came the popping of
a cork, as towel-wrapped wine bottles
were removed from chill, sweating buck
cts of silver.
The orchestra, which had been playing
American jazz, launched abruptly upon a
wild Apache selection, and, as the red
silken shades of table lamps and rose
hangings beneath arches of ararabesque
turned to purple in the pallid flood light
that drenched the darkened cafe, two
French dancers whirled through an ex-
otic number
The dancers bowed, there was last
wall of the Saxophone, and lights flashed
on, and off, and on again. 1t was signal
that the time for closing had come.
Walters bent over tables of gayly
goWned women and immaculate men to
pour the farewell drinks. A famous
Swedish actress, blond and jeWeled rose
to leave, not unaware of the whispered
comment that buzzed about her. In
gray and blue uniform, a general inter
rupted his conversation with member
of Parliament to signal for waiter. At
the table of an opera star, novelist
bank director and one of FinlandS great
est painters lifted their glasses to final
"Skol"
In half an hour all of the guests had
departed, save for five or six parties oc-
cupying tables in a small room off the
main dining room. The manager moved
from group to group.
Evening star., 1931-11-29

Tonight" he said, "there is to be
police chrck-up of the curfew law. Please
take leavs as soon as possible"
RUT before the manager had completed
= the rounds, the police had entered.
There vas no raucous speech by the
leader from the center of the floor. In
stead, 81. patrolman in longbelted coat
of gray and round fur cap approached
each party saluted apologetically and
warned; "You must finish your drinks
quickly It's o'clock and the restaurant
is supposed to be closed"
LeiSurely the remaining patrons drift
ed into the cloak room or made their
way to- private dining rooms upstairs.
The ccene might have been in famed
restaurant of Paris, Berlin or Copen-
hagen, where freedom gives charm to

Shocking doubts bred by such reality
are troubling the Firms faith that age
old appetites can be abolished arbitrarily
by writing chaste laws on statute books.
And it is long list of melancholy after
maths they see strung in the wake of a
law launched with high hope under con-
ditions logic would call ideal.
Twelve years ago-virile, buoyant, de-
termined-young Finland became an in
dependent nation. Willing to dare and
sacrifice for the making of an ideal mod
ern state, she pioneered in social reforms
One of the first laws passed was ma
tional prohibition act. Every vision of
the laws success was justifiable. Basic
obstacles that stood in the way of en-
forcement of an identical statute in the
United States were lacking in Finland
The experiment was undertaken by a
small, homogeneous group of 100000
patriots, tested and proved in the phe-
nomenaI maintenance of their national
ism through four centuries of foreign
oppression. None of the problems of a
country made up of many unaSSimilated

them. They were relatively isolated
from the influences of the continent.
A single church held sway in the
land The people were law-abiding.
Even through a century of bitter Strug-
gle for independence from Russia only
legal channels had been used to gain
their ends.
RUT despite this glowing background
that pointed to a complete success,

These charges laid at the door Of the
prohibitory law grew out of the social re-
action that seems inherent in that arbi-
trary regulation. For in the placid
.northland divorced from the United
States by distance and vast differences
in temperament, Finland found that the
leap into compulsory total abstinence
called forth social perversions not unlike
those observed in America.

CANNING INDUSTRY
TO BE STUDIED
CCoafinusd from Firn Pagsl

1896, 100000 in 1880. The total an
nual value of all canned and pre-
served foods, including milk, meat
and fish, is shown to be approaching
billion dollars.
Every three months, according to
the plans agreed upon by represen-
tatives of the Department of Com
merce and representatives of trade
groups in this industry, the Food
stus ffDivisiOn of the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, will
collect from Gamers, wholesalers,
and chain store systems figures on
the stocks in their hands of canned
corn, peas, tomatoes, green beans,
wax beans and peaches.
AS soon as possible after the re-
ceipt of reports from the cO-operat-
ing business houses, the Foodstuffs
Division is to make public a sum-
mary of the returns. The summary
is to show the total stocks of the
items listed, with the percentage of
change from the preceding report.
The first survey is to be made as
of July 1, this year, and quarterly
thereafter.
Basing its statement on expert
ence gained in past surveys of the
same general character, the Depart
ment of Commerce emphasizes that
the success OF this new undertaking
will depend entirely upon the CO.
operation received from the report
ing firms in reporting the necessary
facts regularly and as soon as pos
sible after the receipt of the Ques-
tiOnnaires.
The organizations that requested
this survey include the National
Gamers Association, National
Wholesale GrOcers Association,
American Wholesale Grocers AssO-
citation and National Chain Store AS
sOciation.
1t is expected by the FOOdstuifs
Division that reports will be furnish
ed also by business organizations
that may not be members of any of
these associations.

COTTON, WHEAT
STILL PRESENT
A PROBLEM
Famine Ridden China May Use
Some Grain, But Loss to-
Farm Board Will Be Great

King cotton and king wheat
still straddled the neck Of the
Federal Farm Board today after
q week of prodigous but futile
effort to dislodge them.
The boards revolutionary plan
to reduce the cotton surplus by
destroying a third of the crop
now ready for harvest has fallen
flat.
Governors DiSapprOve
Every southern governor to
whom the proposition was ad-
dressed found something wrong
with it. Some of them merely
dismissed it as being impractical.
Others, like Alfalfa Bill" Muir
ray, of Oklahoma, who is an ex-
ponent of direct action, de-
nounced it as unconstitutional
Faced with this situation, and
apparently undecided on future
moves, the harassed farm board
is marking time on cotton, ap-
parently hoping that some mirac-
ulous Intervention will appear and
solve the problem. The board
would sincerely welcome some
cotton plague similar to the
grasshopper blight that has been
wrecking havoc in the grain
fields of the northwest. Bigger
and better boil weevils would be
joyously received.
AS for wheat, a potential mar
ket for a part of the boards
enormous holdings appeared to-
day in famine-ridden China.
China Asks Price
With millions of Chinese re-
ported starving in the flooded
Yangtze River valley, the Chinese
government has addressed an in
formal inquiry to the board, re-
questing information as to price
and credit terms on wheat.
A proposition was being fabri-
Gated today for the Chinese. The
understanding is it will be made
as attractive as possible, for
China appears the one possible
spot on the globe where the
harasSed board may find an op-
portunity to dispose of some of
its holdings.
An enormous loss to the board
and to the Government is almost
inescapable. The board holds
more than 2O0.000,000 bushels of
wheat which it bought at prices
ranging up to $1.60 a bushel. If
China could be persuaded to buy
any considerable amount at IS
cents, the board probably would
consider itself lucky.
BOrah'S Proposal
Any terms. however, are better
than none at all. Recently, Sen
ator Borah (R) of Idaho, has ad-
vocated giving the wheat to China,
to get it off the market. where it
has a deadening effect on current
prices and possibly to create
future market for American
wheat in the Orient.
China is not a wheat-producing
nor a wheat-conSuming nation.
Rice is the great staple. It has
been thought by Borah and others
that the gift would educate the
Chinese to the value of the grain,
and thus possibly create a future
and continuing demand for. it.
