BLACK RAPS DELAY
OF LIQUOR PERMITS
House District Committeeman
Says Board Permits Intimida-
tion by Drys.

Representative Black, Democrat, OF
New York. a member of the House
District Committee, issued a state
ment today criticizing the District
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board for
holding up the licenses of 60 appli-
cantS because of single objection.
He demanded that the board give
consideration to these applications
tomorrow
Black said the board by its present
procedure is ignoring the spirit if not
the letter of the law because it per-
mits itself ito be intimiated by an
Insignificant minority of die-hard pro-
hibitionists whose tactics of obstruc-
ton are costing 60-odd applicants
thousands of dollars"
Il do not believe that Congress in
tended that a non-property owner
residing in Georgetown could. by a
single objection, delay action on the
application of a respectable business
man desiring license for his store
in Congress Heights" Black declared.
But that is just what is happening
at these hearings. An applicant S
name is called and the prohibitionist
has only to rise and object and the
application is passed over for future
hearing"
Black also declared that the A. B.
C. Board should not "hamstring" the
applicants or pamper the obstruction
lists.

SHANGHAI, March 1.-The en-
thronement of Henry Pu-Yi as EN-
peror of Manchukuo. in the view of

Far East and the world.
"The enthronement Of Pu-Y brings

a Shanghai liberal daily. adding:
"The enthronement is the comic
scene in a tragic show. 1t is pre-
liminary to Japanese expansion in
Mongolia, whose people are devoted
to the Manchu household.
Japan has larger ambitions than
the mere annexation of Manchuria. u
The Central Daily News. national

This newspaper said that although
China is unable at the present to

years was not futile. The struggle
OF the Chinese nation will continue
until this objective is attained"
Sin Wan Pao, conservative daily,

The ghost of Stavisky is still hover

DOUMERGUE PLAN
FINALLY PASSED
Budget Balanced by Vote.
Premier Granted Tariff
Dictator Powers.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 1.-The Parliament
of France, red-eyed from long struggle,
balanced the budget today and,
bowing to the insistence of the vener-
able, determined Premier, CASTOR
Doumergue, made him a tariff dc
tator.
The 1894 budget as voted gives a
surplus of 100000 francs revenue
over estimated expenditures. The
latter are fixed at 48,3l8,570 QUO
francs, or $3,14O, ,707,O5O
The vote on the budget in the
Chamber of Deputies was 458 TO 1872,
and in the Senate. 284 to Is.
Just before acting on the budget
the Parliament granted Premier
Doumergue dictatorial powers to effect
governmental economies and to mani
treaties.
BY these legislative triumphs the
71-year-old Doumergue accomplished
within three weeks something four
preceding premiers failed to achieve
in bitter parliamentary struggles
which began last october.
Doumergue Is Absent.
Observers saw as a further indica-
ton of Doumergue's rapidly
power the fact that he was absent
when the vote on the budget was
reached-and vet members said his
influence served to smooth out differ
enceS.
With tho coIptry'c fpopcae fb,,c
assured for the year, the Premier S
hands were freed today to press the
investigation of the StaviSky banking
scandal, in which investors lost S40,-
100000 when the municipal pawnshop
failed at Bayonne; to allay unrest in
and out of Parliament, and to tackle
urgent problems of foreign policy
firmly and resolutely.
Dictatorship" was shouted by op-
posing Socialists and Communists
during the budget debate, but the
premier told Parliament he would
have budget by the end of February
or I'll go back home"
His reply was the same to opposi-
tion to granting him powers to modify
the tariffs by decree. He may so
modify them until December Is, sub
ject to ratification notifications by
Parliament after four months.
Took Post Amid Rioting.
With his political truce" cabinet,
the premier knew he could command
= big majority for anything that
, savored of common sense so long as
he could show that it was part of his
plan to save the country from the
serious situation that came to a
tragic climax February 6, when the
troops that protected the Chamber
from beSieging columns of veterans
and rioters turned guns on the people.
Doumergue took power to make
peace. His budget was fashioned with
that in mind
Demonstrations by functionaries, of
whom there are 850,0oO in France,
prevented governments from making
any but slight cuts in public pay.
The Doumergue budget is designed
to avoid encouraging any more pro-
tests, reserving financial overhauling
and administrative reforms for better,
quieter days.
