 Would Upset World Finance, Says Mellon
TOTAL $3,4OO,0OO,0OO; DIsAs- TER WOULD FOLLOW; DEFICIT THIS YEAR $S75,O00,O0O

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 2S- Secretary of Treasury Mellon today warned the Senate Finance Commit tee that cash redemption of soldiers bonus would upset the nations f. nancial structure and greatly dis turb the worlds equilibrium. It would seriously retard business re- covery and prolong unemployment" :"
 Secretary Mellon said the cash payment would total $S,400, 900. 1000 He said the indirect consequences would be more serious than the trouble and expense the government would have in floating the bonds to make the payments, and the bonds would have to be sold on terms to justify.
 Indirect consequences were listed by the secretary as lowered price for all United States bonds, destruc- tion of capital values running into hundreds of millions, death on the bond market for other securities, destruction of a foreign securities market, and eventually deepen de- pression.
 There are indications. he said, that the government will close the present year with a deficit of not less than 5,00O,O00. Payment of the bonus at this time would seriously retard business recovery and prolong unemployment"

Macintosh of Seattle, former pros ecuting attorney of King County, Washington, and former chief jus tice of the Washington State. su- preme Court, who is a member of the Wiekersham Law Enforcement Commission.
 Judge Macintosh is one of five who recommended further trial and strict enforcement because Ameri- can fathers and mothers are appalled, at seeing their boys and girls re- turn home intoxicated, night after night"
 Judge Macintosh said further "a change in the law is inevitable. It is too easy to make alcohol. Almost everyone can afford a small still. As for taste, there are very few left who can discern. The new genera ton cannot tell the old brands from the overnight stuff. You would sup pose they would be rather suspie- ious of the taste of the genuine stuff."
 Judge Macintosh said enforce ment of the law to a degree en- visioned by the framers is impos- sible. He criticized those who said President Hoover interfered. He said the accusations are inspired only by the lowest desire to dis credit the President and his com mission on the part of the origina- tors"

 The former governor was alone at his home when he shot himself last night, and died today,
 United States Senator Edward l. Edwards was one of those men in public life whose stand on Prohibt- tion was somewhat anomalous. On that issue he was one of the most vigorous and outspoken opponents. yet he did not use intoxicants.
 Although holding liberal views concerning the use of intoxicants, the Senator's opposition to the Pro- hibition Amendment and the Vol stead Act was based prpimarily on his opinion that both were an in vasion of the liberties of the people.
 He was elected governor of New Jersey in a campaign conducted on the issue of personal liberty, and in his inaugural address attracted national attention by his bold de- nunciation of Prohibition. He urg- ed the attorney general of the state to institute proceedings to test the constitutionality of the amendment and the act.
 Prior to the last presidential cleo tion Governor Edwards name was mentioned as a possible anti-Pro- hibition candidate.
