Suggests Education

Honest enforcement of these laws.
Education concerning the use of
alcoholic beverages, especially in re-
gard to the evil of their abuse.
THE law should distinguish be-
tween beer and light wines and high
powered T. N. t. the archbishop
said. "They are different things
and should be treated differently,
and the high-powered stimulants
should be under restrictions.
The archbishop expressed the
hope that the grand old total alb
stinence societies" would be revived.
Furthermore, he is thinking about
starting such societies in the par
ishes of his archdiocese.
Favors Taking Pledge
Total abstinence societies went
out when prohibition came in he
said. AS, theoretically, there was
no liquor, there was no purpose in
taking a pledge to abstain
But they we're excellent things.
Some people are so constituted that
they can not stop with little liquor.
When they learn they can not con-
troll themselves and are unable to
stop before they have too much,
they should avoid it entirely"
While the man who lacks self
control-the drunkard-did his bit
to bring about prohibition, the
brewer and diStiller did a far larger
part, in the archbishops opinion,
through reaching in their
greed. The chain saloons, which
had to bring in a profit regardless,
were the chief cause, he said.
But now" he continued, "a new
opportunity confronts us-an oppor-
tunity for an orderly and civilized
return to liquor. Let us make the

ERA, WARNING
Archbishop CurIey Urges
Americans to Shun
BootIeggerS.
USE, NOT ABUSE, RULES
PreIate States Position of
Catholic Church on
Drinking.

By ScrippsHocard Newspaper Alliance
BALTIMORE, Dec. 6-Archbishop
Michael Joseph Curley head of the
primaciaI see of the Catholic church
in the United States, today advised
every patriotic American to set his
face against the bootlegger and the
racketeer if he wants the new deal
in liquor to be permanent.
1--WE Americans are at last faced
with a wonderful opportunity to get
and keep honest liquor control" he
said. But if We are not especially
careful to be legal-Within the next
few months, particularly-we run
the risk of losing it, even of getting
prohibition again.
Every good citizen of the United
States, man or woman, should set
his or her face like flint against
dealing in any way or under any
circumstances with the bootlegger.
That is the part of wisdom.
Warns of Price Lure
ct am told that the bootlegger's
prices may, for a time anyway, be
lower than those of legal liquor
No matter how low his prices or how
attractive his wares, shun himl
IF you don't, you run the risk of
losing all the ground THAT you have
gained, 1t is not inconceivable that
prohibition itself may come back if
the privileges Of repeal are abused.
Merely being legal and keeping
away from the bootlegger will not
obviate all the dangers of repeal, the
prelate added.
use, not abuse, is the teaching OF
the church in regard to drinking
as it is with eating and other
things" he said. so we should
remember to control our appetites
as we'll as to be legal. That is one
reason I hope we learn.
Italians Shun Whisky
''For four years I lived in "a coun-
try which has no name of. its oWr
for whisky, and for four years the
only persons I saw who abused
liquor were tourists. The Italian!
call whisky by it's English name
and usually let it alone.
MY regular custom while IL
Rome was to drink a quart of wint
day, pint at luncheon and {
pint at dinner. That is fairly
general custom, and I like it,"
In addition to stunning boot
leggers and controlling appetites
the archbishop considers three
things fundamentals in the Ameri.
can effort to control liquor decently
and effectively. They are:
Honest, enforceable laws which
enable the person who wants beers
wines or liquors to get them under
reasonable restrictions and at rea-
Sonable prices.

Senator Thomas Confers
With Cummings on Al

BY the Associated Press.

Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla

General Cummings to investigate an
alleged campaign to drive down the
price of cotton through short selling.
Senator Thomas sent to the Attorney
General copies of kilograms from New

Fenner, Beane g. Ungerhider, national
operating cotton brokerage house, ad-
vising short sales in cotton.
The kilograms dealt specifically with
December futures They set forth that
cotton lis heading for Scent level"
Similar messages relative to other cot
ton classifications have been brought
to Thomas attention.
One OF the messages to Fenner,
Beane & Ungerhider, dated August II,
said:
Buying power has spent its force.
Another good break coming. Sell De-
cember short Post on bulletin board" "
Other kilograms advised brokerage
houses to sell short and stay short.
Thomas said hasty check by him
had failed to disclose the existence
or address OF the organization whose
name was signed to the kilograms. but
that these facts could be brought out
by an official investigation.
In his letter to the Attorney Cen
eral the Oklahoman wrote:
The administration has entered
upon a program of raising commodity
prices as well as the general average
of prices. Much money has been ap-
propriated and great efforts are being
exerted to make this program q success.
AT the very time that the admin
istration is working for higher prices,
certain influences and institutions are
exerting their energies in opposition
to such program and apparently their
efforts are meeting with some degree
of success.
Il do not know Of any law which
could be invoked to stop this practice,
but certainly the practice at this time
is contrary to the program of the ad-
ministration."

dows Of merchants violating terms OF
the voluntary agreement.
Thomas S. Hammond, director OF the
campaign, issued an official statement
that local groups have not that power,
but are invited to try to get the violator
to mend his ways voluntarily.
If he refuses, the question must be
referred to Washington.
Hammond also denounced persecution
of merchants who operate their stores
long hours, pointing out that local
agreements to limit store hours are con-
trary to the N r. A. purpose, which is
to make more employment by cutting
workers hours and hiring more people
to round cut the remaining time.
Small retailers, whose investment Is
not more than $500, were called the
sources of unfair competition today by
A Lincoln Wisler. president Of the
United Business Mems Association OF
Chicago at the outset Of today'S retail
hearings.
Wisler, who said there were about
425,000 such storekeepers, described
them as "a cankerous growth that has
been gnawing at the vitals Of good
honest and fair retailing"
WiSler said he represented 10000
stores in Chicago.
Business Declared Undermined.
These small storekeepers are some
of the chiselerS who are undermining
business in every locality and neighbor-
hood" he said The unfair competi-
ton that exists today in retailing comes
from this type of merchant. He never
joint his chamber of commerce, trade
association or business mems aSSocia-
ton
These merchants are a cankerouS
growth who have been gnawing at the
vitals of good honest and fair retail
ing and, while do not know what can
be done about them, the return of en-
ployment and prosperity will greatly
depend upon what our Government
plans to do about these unfair retail
competitors"
How to work out an arrangement
that would be fair both to small and
difficulties of the Recovery Administra-
the retail code.
Among the phases of this many
sided problem were the competition of
the large store with the small one; the
competition of stores employing work.
erS with those family operated; the
competition of the chain store in the
small town with the privately operated
establishment.
There were also the individual prob
lens of the small stores which coulC
i'll afford to increase employment with
resulting cost increases, and the compe-
tition of one variety OF stores, mems
furnishings for instance, with, say
drug stores. that sell some article OF

They don't care what happens to the
6,000,00 German workers who follow
the leadership of the Communist

And then, after uttering the above

Jewish people were being prosecuted
by the NaziS IN Germany.
Gordon knows that his mission, as
an expert, is to guard the interests
OF Wall Street. He also knows that
it is to the benefit Of Wall Street
interests to support the bloody fas-
ciSt regime against the workers and
their imprisoned Communist leaders.
The Wall Street bankers and in
dustrialists have $1,420 900 in
vested in Germany.
Wall STREET Biggest Lender
to Germany,
According to official government
statistics, Germany has been the re-
cipient Of q larger amount of long
term capital from Wall Street than
any other European country. These
statistics show that about 1870 Sepa-
rate stock and bond issues, OF which
the American share outstanding to-
tails SLIT 900 900, constitute the
largest part of American investment
in Germany.
Wall Street capitalists have in
vested $3.50 100000 in public utilities
in Germany. The Morgan and
Rockefeller syndicates have invested
s2l00O0,OO0 in banking institutions in
the Reich. More than 1890 ,o00, 900
have been invested by the Wall Street
barons in German manufacturing
plants.
Capitalist Press Helps Hitler.
To safeguard these interests, the
Roosevelt administration is ready to
go to the limit to support Hitler
against the working class. And to
aid Roosevelt, the capitalist press
hal already embarked upon cam
paign for Hitler. This campaign is
being led by the New York Evening
Post, whose owner, Cyrus K. Curtis,
periodically fires workers and slashes
wages. The Post, on the one hand
urges the American people to alb
stain from protesting against the out
RACES in Germany. On the other
hand, this Wall Street organ fills its
columns with more lies about the
Soviet Union.
This latest drive to intimidate the
American workers and 10 conceal the
truth Of Nazi prosecutions must be
sharply answered.
In New York City, Socialist work
ers, A. F. Of L. workers, members Of

NO PROFESSIONAL
POLITICIANS
THE deputies Of the Moscow Soviet
and of the rayon Soviets are not
professional politicians. They do not
make living out of politics, but con-
tinue working in the factories. They
enjoy both an official standing and
the respect of the workers by virtue
of their office. But no Soviet deputy
can abuse his authority or the con-
fidence the workers repoSe in him.
Every deputy must render periodic
account to his electors, the fellow
workers of his factory. If they are
dissatisfied with his conduct in Of
fee, they make no bones about it
and tell it to him in no uncertain
terms. If they find him unfit to con-
tinue in Office, they recall him and
elect another one in his place.
In addition to the thousands of
elected deputies participating in the
administration of Moscow's affairs,
there are tens of thousands of vol
unteers, the so-called "sectioners,"
who form q kind Of auxiliary mass
