ing for decreases since July, are
still running 2 per cent ahead OF

ing agencies are agreed that bust
ness in recent weeks has been firm
ing in what they regard as an ex-

goods market is described as being
the broadcast since 1929, with sales
often 70 to 100 per cent above
October 1882. Reports to NRA
from local boards of the Recovery
Administration indicate that the
buying is steadily improving as cold

Senator Bailey
Is For Repeal
Says Reduction of Ell Is Prime
Objective; OPPOSES Saloon.

Senator Josiah William Bailey
has announced that he will cast his
vote November 7 for repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
SenarorsBailey, leader-of the sac
cessful prohibition fight in North
Carolina so years ago made known
his position in a statement issued
over his signature at Raleigh and
proposed that the people be given
an opportunity to determine
whether North Carolina shall adj
here to state prohibition Or resort
to a system of liquor control.
Reiteraring his opposition to the
saloon, Senator Bailey declared that
any changes in the state policy
must be sanctioned by the people.
He said national and state prohibi-
ton are separate issues and must not
be confused.
ITO reduce that evil (liquor) to
the lowest possible terms is the NOR
al objective in view" said the sena-
,or. "On the moral principle they
(repealists and anti-repealists) are
one. They are divided only on the
question of method. The division
as to this method may be serious
but not so serious as to preclude
the exercise of a broad tolerance
tending to preserve unity upon the
moral objective.
In presenting his proposal for a
referendum on state liquor policy,
Senator Bailey declared that "state
prohibition was enacted by the peo-
pie; they alone may repeal it,
He declared hat should the
state policy be altered, it must be
under a program which would not
permit return of the saloon or any
institution resembling it.

~Smugglers
Show Activity

Instead of solving the whisky
smuggling problem with which
Uncle Sam has to contend, repeal
of the eighteenth amendment may
compiicare matters, officials of the
coast guard believe. They have
revealed that there are 80 rum
smuggling syndicares operating off
the northeastern coast Of the Unit
ed States and three off the Pacific
Coast.
The eastern rum rings are oper-
ating chiefly from the New Jersey
shore to Nantucket. Most of the
ships use the French islands of St.
Pierre and Miquelon as ports. There
is some activity along the Florida
coast which will grow the
opening of the winter season.
Coast guard officials said the
syndicates are equipped with pow
erful short-wave radio stations to
direct oeerations and NOTIFY the
rum running vessels of the location
of government ships.
Believing hat taxes and tariffs
on legitimate liquor will be high in
the event of repeal, the rum rings
are preparing for a continuation OF
even an increase in their activities,
according to the coast guard.
If repeal becomes a fact, the
Canadian law prohibiting clearance
of liquor for American ports will
become void. What course the
smugglers pursue will depend upon
conditions in the American market.
The coast guard, however, is max
ing plans for a drive against rum
runners on the Great Lakes.
In addition to the probability of
fairly high tax and tariff On liquor,
the limited American supply that
cannot be built up to requirement.
for several years and the inevitable
heavy demand will be important
factors to stimulate the activities
of the smugglers. Furthermore, the
economy program has forced the
coast guard to dismiss many men
and lay up hundreds of its rum
chasers, giving the smugglers an
added advantage in their activities.
