Admiral in Disguise

TN fairness to the Communists of
l. New York and hereabouts, it
must be admitted that they never
have pretended to. be pacif1sts. They
repeatedly have stated their belief
that the pacif1st is a sentimental,
bourgeois fellow who is either I'M
consciously or consciously the ally
Of capitalist tyranny. And they
lean to the notion that his heresy
is deliberate.
On the other hand, new partisans
of Russia have been extremely &C
tive in holding meetings opposed to
''imperialist war;" On Washington's
birthday they held just such a
demonstration in Union Square.
They belong to the zone more
round school of thought and would
take over Woodrow Wilson's dream
of a war to end war.

Public Misled
THERE is only one explanation

i for such state Of affairs.
The people have allowed them
selves to be misled by politicians.
Every time an election has oc-
Cured during the last ten years,
they have been told that they must
not be guided by what they thought
about prohibition, because other
problems we're more important.
They have been told that they
must not risk splitting one party,
or the other, over this particular
issue, because it was essential to
keep their political organizations
intact.
They have been told that 1t
really was a good thing that neither
party could line up on the wet and
dry question, because it was a
moral question and should be set
tied on a moral, rather than a
political, basis.

Missing Millions

IF the government were getting
l. the money which now is going
to rum runners, there would be no
deficit and that, too, even though
the American people failed to drink
one added drop.
If the racketeering to which the
liquor traffic has given birth were
stopped, business would be relieved
of an enormous burden.
If the political corruption for
which the liquor traffic is mainly
responsible were removed, honest
government and effective law en-
forcement would represent far less
of a problem.

THERE is just one remedy. The

and demand the right to be heard
on what they know is the most
important issue confronting this
country.
In the beginning, it may have
been a moral issue, but it ceased
to be that long ago.
Today prohibition is an economic,
political and social issue, diverting
revenue, promoting crime and de-
stroying temperance.
It's repeal has become essential
