By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 14.-Asserting
"There are more SpeakeasieS than
there ever were saloons" former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith, in the current issue
of Liberty, says the prohibition prob
lem would be solved by invoking the
principle of home rule by the several
States.
Let the American people be heard"
he says. They are the ones affected.
I'VE have made it possible to dis
tribute, sell and consume inferior
grades of beverages which often en-
danger the lives of our people. We
have more Illicit stills in the country
than ever before. More liquor is being
imported into the country.
Attacks Corruption.
There are more speakeasies than
there ever were saloons. More drink
ing on the part of young people and
women Is going on. And there is more
corruption among enforcement agencies
than ever before. And all in the name
of a great experiment called prohl-
bition."
He outlines a plan for popular ref
erendum among the people OF the va
rious States on a State plan for manu-
facture, sale, possession and tranSpor-
IdUlOl OF llQupIS. SuDStQuSill4S, 4lC says
the voters of the various States would
be asked, through State conventions, to
pass upon a proposed new amendment
to the constitution which, in effect,
would provide that nothing in the
eighteenth amendment would apply to
those States which have liquor control
laws OF their own.
Cites Loss of Revenue.
ssrT-ho rioh+ fhir,o for NonoreS I'm do "
he says, sis to hand this question to
the American people themselves for de-
termination and stop talking about
whether the Democratic party is wet or
dry, or whether the Republican party Is
wet or dry.
by this plan the American people
have lost billions of dollars in revenue.
They have spent countless millions in
enforcement. They face the deficit
represented by over $4,000, 100000. All
for no purpose except politics"

slash appropriations before increasing

LEAGUE COURT
ISSUE DEAF"

Failure of the SeYenty-seoond
Congress to act; on. the League
Court issue was held in some
quarters today to mean that the
issue is dead.
The protocols for American ad-
herence, hedged about with reser-
vations and interpretations, were
on the Senate executive calendar
for weeks.
Senate friends of the Court
made no effort to force it's con-
sideration.
1t was regarded today as un-
likely the protocols will be
brought up for a showdown at
the short session beginning next
December.
Estimates of the time required
to force a final vote on the Court
issue, once it were laid before the
Senate for debate, range from
five weeks to several months.
The length and extreme bitter
ness of this fight virtually pre-
clude final action prior to next

ASSA|LS
RELIEF BILL

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July
18 G.N.SO.-The unemployment
relief bill passed by Congress
was totally inadequate, William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, said today.
He criticised Congress for ad-
journing before it had really fin
ished tasks demanding immediate
attention.
Because no action was taken
on modification of the Volstead
act or farm relief and because
the unemployment situation was
still acute, Green said a special
cession of Congress would be in
evitaCle.

ALBANY, N. Y. QN.S0.
"He has the power to cOncen.


"He has the power to cOncen-
trate,"
This is the answer given by
Guernsey T. Cross, secretary and
assistant to the governor, to
those who ask how Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt can possibly divide
his day to provide time for run
ming a national campaign, direct
ing the State government, eating,
sleeping and recreation. Mr..
Cross explained:
"He concentrates on the task
before him, and lets nothing
else bother him until it is COM
pleted. That permits him to
work more rapidly than the
ordinary man."
Governor Roosevelt's day begins
at 8 a. m. It ends sometime
after midnight. There are no
breaks between, except for meals
and recreation, and the latter is
taken with the same thoroughneSS
the governor gives to his cam
paign and his State duties.
Plunges Into Work
Breakfast over. the governor
plunges into work at the executive
mansion, receiving callers, looking
over the mail received there and
since his nomination-maklng
and answering numerous long dis
tance telephone calls.
He remains at these tasks in
the mansion until II or 11:15 a..
M, and then comes to the eXecu-
tive chamber.
One of the first appointments
on the executive calendar each
morning is the press conference.
which usually lasts about 80 min
uteS.
After the correspondents leave,
urgent mail and kilograms are
laid before the governor. They,
too, have increased many fold in
the last week. The governor die
tates memorandums on some OF
them-toSSeS others aside.
Callers in Streams
Callers come in a steady stream.
Important men are visiting Albany
these days and they will continue
to come for months. Some bring
advice and some seek favorS. All
receive courteous attention.
Back come the reporters again
at 4 p. m. for another Commute
search for information. These
are mostly morning newspaper
men.
Then a few more appointments
and the signing of mail, these
tasks carrying the governor up to
p. M, and sometimes an hour
later.
Then Takes Exercise
Returning to the mansion, the
governor takes exercise Ind
Swims, nearly every day. He sees
three or four more visitors, die
tates a few letters and skins
through the newspapers.
Dinner at 1880 p. m. does not
end the Roosevelt day. Other
callers come to the mansion in
the evening. Sometimes the gov.
ernor watches a motion picture
show in the drawing room. Most
of the time he reads or writes.
Bedtime for the presidential
nominee is between II p. m. and
midnight, but bedtime is not sleep
ing time. He reads newspapers
until sleepy, sometimes for several
hours.
