RULING
LEADS Abe TO
CALL HEARING
Credit Delinquency Of
Dealers Issue

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board decided today to hold
r bile hearings on proposed
amendments to ABC regulations
which would require the board to
notify wholesalers of credit delin.
quencies by retail liquor dealers.
The decision, Chairman George
w. Offutt explained, followed q
ruling of Corporation Counsel FL
wood Seal that the board has no
right to refuse to renew or trans
fer the license of a retailer for
the sole reason he is in arrears
in payment beyond the As day
period allowed by ABC policy.
CAN REFUSE RENEWAL
The Seal ruling stipulated, how
ever, that the board can refuse
such renewal or transfer in the
case where the licenSee violates
regulations by purchasing his
stock on credit when he is only
entitled to purchase for cash.
The proposal to amend the ABC
regulations to require the notift'
cation Of wholesalers regarding
retail delinquents was originally
incorporated in the Seal ruling
but was later withdrawn.
WHOLESALERS VIEWS
Several weeks ago the ABC
board held a hearing regarding
credit standing as a basis for
transfer and renewal of licenses.
Representatives Of the whole.
sale beer and liquor industry here
expressed unanimous disapproval
Of any proposal which would allow
transfer and renewal Of licenses
where payments were due. Offutt
said the hearings will be held be-
fore February.

World War Atrocity Stories

DUT-most of all, remember the atrocity stories
- of the World War.
One Of the best exposures ever written OF this
miserable part of warfare was that authored by
Arthur Lord Ponsonby, British member OF Parlia-
ment for many years. He was chairman OF a
Joint committee which investigated the origin
and propagation Of all the atrocity stories which
flashed around the world during those five years
Of blood and death.

Propaganda Is Powerful Weapon
THE World War developed the potency of prop
l. uganda and the reaction upon mass emotion
alism Of manufactured lies. The Germans began
it, to offset the cutting of their Transatlantic
cables by the British.
The British instantly adopted the same tactics,
but, with characteristic subtlety and thorough
ness made it the finest propaganda system in
the world. Our own national lying was cared
for ably by George Creel's Propaganda Bureau in
the Government during the war.
Nations have learned since then that the lies
of false propaganda are far more powerful bull
lets than those fired from gun.
War always begins with greet Surges Of patri-
otiSm known as war psychosis." This leads to
selfhypnotism Of the masses and that is all the
propagandists desire. The masses then become
incapable of sane thinking. The most mad rll-
mors they believe as truth. And truth they can
not recognize even when they see it because Of
their emotional distortion.
So are the leaders Of the nations building this
psychoSis today. And with all the atrocity stories
emanating from Europe again, so does sane think.

There Is Always Poverty
WE HAVE progressed far since that time,
" regardless of outward appearances. Today
we have our breadlines to feed the poor. We
have our unemployment taxes and many other
useful laws to protect the unfortunate We at
least know when our people are hungry, and try
to feed them instead Of saying, why don't they
eat cake?"
There will always be poverty among us. There
are certain men who can make money and others
who don't seem to be able to. There are certain
men who can keep their money once they get
it and others who spend it faster than they can
make it,
There is one thing though, the people in this
country must keep in mind, and that is, that
when the budget is unbalanced, when the money
Is being loaned for different purposes, it is not
going out of this country; it is money that is
being circulated among one big family. 1t goes
from one pocket into another. It is not lost to
the American citizen; it is being spent to keep
this great country Of ours progressing.
With our untold resources still to be developed,
there is cause to fear or dread the circulation
of money. After all, if money is not being spent,
it does not bring in any return. Don't let
Americans be fearconscious. Don't let this
wonderful country of ours get to be another
Shylock demanding his pound of flesh. Let the
money circulate among the people who have
earned it and who have every right to have the
free and easy use Of what is rightly theirs.
