Secreary Mellon did not direct his statement to Pinchot in the form of a letter replying to - the governor's charges of laxity in en- forcing the Volstead act. But the statement was designed to serve as a reply. % Instead of attempting answer to the various inquiries of the governor, Mr. Mellon said he purposed to confine himself to “a statement of the efforts to enforce the law that have been made in Pennsylvania and throughout country.” Discusses Federal Problems. At the same time, Mr. Mellon went into the problems with which the federal enforcement officials have had to deal. In addition to money, Mr. Mellon said that “patience, persever- ance and united effort are necessary to the undertaking.” “Despite all hindrances,” the secre- tary added, “I believe that with suffi- cient_enlargement of our equipment and forces, together with a more ac- tive co-operation upon the part of local authorities, the éighteenth amendment and the’ national prohi- bition act can be enforced as any other law. To this end the best efe forts of this department will be di- rected.™ Without making further reference to Mr. Pinchot or any of his various interrogatories, the ~Treasury head called attention to the appropriation of $8,500,000 with which he was ex- pected to\make the law effective in “forty-eight states, the District of Columbia, Porto Rico and the ter- ritories of Hawali and Alaska.” Habits Radically Revolutionized. “The eighteenth amendment pro- posed a radical “revojution in the social habits of a people,” the Secre- tary sald. “It was evident at the time of its adoption that it could not be immediately wholly enforced, but all understood it to be an undertak- ing of years, and one which neces- sarily must be progressive in its character That it is a task of su preme difficulty the experience of this department for the last four years has abundantly proved This diffie culty is further aggravated by the fabilous prices offered for illicit liquors and the consequent oppor- tunities for large and easy gain. While a great deal has been accom- plished, much has failed of accom- plishment. Patience, perseverance and united effort are necessary in the undertaking.” Mr. Mellon said that “by far the greatest problem” in enforcement is the checking of rum running and unlawful importations from foreign countries.

The coast guard, the Secretary said, is doing “very ' effective service’ against rum .runners, but with the other dities with which it is charged, he added, its equipment is wholly in- adequate.

LLOYD GEORGE OFF AMID MANY ADIEUS British Ex-Premier and Fam- ily Sail for England on Majestic. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—David Llovd George, former premier of Great Britain, sailed for,home on the steamship Majestic today, after a tri- umphant tour of American cities with his wife, Dame Margaret, and daugh- ter, Miss Megan. Right up to the mmute of sailing, in his cabin and on the broad decks of the steamer. he was besieged by officials and delegations wishing him Godspeed. Among those who called to say farewell were John W. Davis, former ambassador to the Court of St. James, who was host to the former pre- mier during his stay in New York; Sec- retary James J. Davis of the Bepart- ment of Labo Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Canadian National Railways, and R. A. C. Smith, head of a delegation of the citizens' committee. of New York. Receiving * newspaper Lloyd George said: “I am very sorry to leave - this hospitable country and warm-hearted people.” A laudatory resolution was present- ed him on behalf of ship news re- porters. In acknowledging it the former premier said the sentiments expressed would be a_ great help to him :‘In the struggles to come. “We are just at the beginning of big things,” he added. “And 1 am not through with them. Wil Take a Rest. Asked what he intended to do when he returned to England, he sald he would have a rest, adding: ‘But a Test never lasts very long. Replying to questions concerning his impressions of American au- diences, Mr. Lloyd George said he had found “the American people very in- terested in European affairs; very in- terested in the point of view. They wanted to hear, whether they agreed or not.” The American people, Mr. Lloyd George continued, made very good audiences and were up to the very best, adding: “Everywhere I went 1 was welcomed. That tcuched me most of all. They were very glad to see me."” As to the effectiveness of any co- operation between Great Britain and the United States, as urged by Mr. Liovd George in his addresses on this con- tinent, he said: “It- depends upon whether you follow through.” Must Go Throwush. If there is any doubt on the part of France that England and America don't intend to go through, then it won't go through, he said. Great Britain and the United States made a contribution to the world war without which, said the former pre- mier, France today would be a vassal state, and therefore France .cannot help giving consideration to our points of view, especially as France in the world war was fighting for her own land, whereas Great Britain and the United States went in for the cause. The former premier emphatically declared in his opinjon if the repara- tions program was agreed upon by Great Britain, the United States and France, the difficulties of Iuzope could be cleared up.

President Coolidge favors reorgani- zation of the Veterans' Bureau, and wase represented yesterday as believ- ing the affairs of this organization placed under one of the departments, thus having a cabinet member as its responsible head This arrangement might put to an end the periodic disturbances that have so prominently characterized its administration during the past few years, it was pointed out. At present the bureau is at a disadvantage prin- cipally because it has not a cabinet head to present its affairs when the President and his cabinet hold their regular bi-weekly s A White House said that this bureau spends virtually one-sixth of the total expenditure of the federal government. This alone, the President is represented as be- leving, is sufficient to make it im- perative to place it within a depart- ment. According to the plan for reorganizing the federal departments as prepared by Walte? F. Brow which was approved last winter by President Harding and which_is now before President Coolidge for his approval, the Veterans Bureau will be placed under what is to be known as the Department of Public Welfare. This department also will include the bureau of education, the pension bu- reau, the department of public health and other bureaus and divisions now scattered.
