Fifty-Fifty Figurin,
A New Order
Foreign Trade
Attention
The Presidents
Position

Perhaps not the most important
but in political circles n of the
most interesting things being talked
about here is the discovery that the
repeal of Prohibition has not put
the bootleggers out of business, and
that the new taxes on whisky and
other liquors are not yielding the
revenues that were expected. The
two facts are closely connected.
Joseph H. Choate, Jr., director of
the Federal Alcohol Control Ad-
m~inistration, reports that two
thirds of all the liquor being sold in
the United States is being made in
illicit stills, built in Prohibition days
and licensed, so that only a
third of all the liquor consumed
pays taxes to the Government. The
enforcement unit has been so re-
duced that it is impossible to fer
ret out all these illegal sources of
liquor and stop flow from those
sources. Their business thrives
because the high tax on liquor
makes it profitable to take chances
on making and selling stuff which
pays no tax.

enforcement unit has been so re-
duced that it is impossible to fer
ret out all these illegal sources of
liquor and stop flow from those
sources. Their business thrives
because the high tax on liquor
makes it profitable to take chances
or making and selling stuff which
pays no tax.
The remedy proposed for this
state of things is to reduce the tax
On whisky and gin, to a point where
there would be no profit commen-
surate with the risk, in making it
illicitly. If Mr.. Choate's figures
are correct, and two-thirds of all
the alcoholic beverages in the mar
ket are paying no tax, then a re-
duction of the tax to one-third of
what it is now would bring in just
as much money, if it were collected
on all the liquor manufactured.
The question under discussion here
is whether or not all liquor could be
uccessfully taxed, even at a re-
Suced rate. It. would involve
ending a lotmore than=has been
bYMzsl6he enforcement Of
X &a in any event.
he real problem, many think, IS
how people can be induced to drink
more whisky; though the President
has a plan to let liquor from abroad
come in free of duty in the hope
that it can sold so cheaply hat
people will prefer it to the bootleg
stuff at the same price.
All in all, official Washington is
waking up to the fact that the Ii
quor problem is a real and serious
problem, as much now as it was
under Prohibition.
Another major topic of CONVEX
sation is the marked change that
has suddenly come over the attitude
of the Administration in the public
urterances of its representatives on
the general subject of social re-
forms. Criticism of the program
under which social regeneration
was being emphasized far more
than economic recovery, and reali-
zation that some of the most highly
publicized recovery projects are not
working as had been expected, is
slowing down the social program
and setting officials to hunting for
new means of bringing business
back.
The indications now are that less
stress will be put upon the demand
for higher wages and more upon
getting men back to work at any
wage the industry or business can
afford to pay; also that there will
be less insistence upon higher prices
for commodities, and more toler-
ance of price competition.

TRIBUTE IS PAID
To NAVY BY
PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt pays
tribute to the American Navy,
especially the pioneer wooden
ships and their captains and
crews, in the foreword he has
written to a volume of Naval
Documents, edited by Capt. Dud-
ley w. Knox, U. S. NJ, retired. The
volume is to be published soon.
In his foreword, the President
confesSes deep interest in the
old manuscript records of the
Navy and relates that he himself
discovered some of the old cap
tain's letters from the earliest
naval vessels when he was Assist.
ant Secretary of the Navy under
President Wilson.
Found in CupbOardS
He found those old letters in
wooden cupboards in the Navy
Department and says that since
then precautions have been taken
to store these treasures in proper
archives. A special fund was es-
tabliShed by the Severty-third
Congress which the President
hopes will make possible the
printing of more important naval
manuscripts.
In his foreword, Pre- d e n t
Roosevelt says:
"Our early naval and mari
time history is closely associated
with the cOuntry'S pioneer settle
ment and expansion, with the
winning of it's independence and
with its subsequent security in
very precarlOuS times.

 ft would seem that thore ought to bO Q plAoo in tho major leagues for Joe lIausor, phenomenal home run hitting first baseman of the Minneapolis club, bus apparently thero isn't.
 Largely because of R bad knoo, which throw him out of gear for tho ontlro BonBon of 1925, whom he belonged to tho Philadelphia Americans, ho has boon chained to tho minors.
 HnuDor, who is 34, has hit moro homo runs in one season than any other ball player, not excepting Babe Ruth. Ho smaeked 60 last ycar or nino more than tho Bams bino nmaHscd for his big wheel record in 1927. Hausor's iD33 total bettered n mnrk of 03, which he ohalkod up while with Baltimore in i030.
 And In starting off thls season, Joe averaged . circuit elout . con- test for tho first thirtoen.
 Hausor broke his knee cap the year after ho smackod 27 homars for tho AAAAAA'g, and three sea- sons followed his bow with that outfit. It is intoresting to note that he hit .323 in his first year with tho Mnokmon.
 Joo's injury bothered him whom he returned in iD26, with tho result that he hit only .f02 and was sent to Kansas City on option tho fol- lowing spring. Ho made the Blues opponents sec rod by hitting 90 homers and compiling . percentage of .363 and looked 50 good that tho AAAAAA's recalled him In 1928.
 Hauser has beon ghunted about since. Milwaukee was tho next stop, then Cleveland, and finally Baltimore, in 1O30, whore he sot hIs record of @ homers and hit .3i3.
 It thon wns freely predicted that Joe again would Do brought back to the main tent, but the snges of baseball recalled tho knee Injury and shook their heads.
