He would have the federal igovernment authorized to promptly dellver passports to any such of- fender. The 'President is directed to use the Army and Navy, the militia of jthe several states and the resources iof the government in_suppressifig all smuggling into the United States of intoxicating liquors, narcotics and aliens, under another joint resolution Introduced by Representative Blan- on. He points out that, “In purposed dis- regard and violation of the funda- mental laws of the mation, organized bands of rich and influéntial con- spirators of national and interna- tional prominence are engaged in the nefarfous business ~of unlawfully smuggling intoxicating Mquors, nar- cotics and allens into this country.” Hits Allen Smuggling. Representative Blanton's resolution says that hundreds of thousands of American laborers are now unable to obtain employment and are with- out an opportunity to earn a liveli- hood for their families, while smug- gled allens are robbing them of jobs as fast as the jobs become available. Many of these smuggled aliens are lawless thugs and anarchists. he says, who hate all forms of civilized gov- ernment and whose purpose here is to tear down and destroy On_account of the very boundary of the United States it is practically impossible for civil au thorities alone to stop such law vio- lations, Representative Blanton em- phasizes, which are becoming so large as to bring the fundamental laws into national and international disrepute and to seriously menace the country’s institutions. extensive cities like New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, local authorities are in open rebellfon and insubordination aganst the eighteen amendment and that such authorities by their public actions invite citizens to ignore. be- little and violate the same at wili. Would Use Military. “We now have in our Army 11,574 officers, 116,663 enlisted men, and in our Navy 83 officers and 86,242 en- {listed men, and in our Marine Corps 1,132 officers and 20,300 enlisted men upon whose hands the monotonous routine of peace time always hangs heavily,” sa, Representative Blan- ton. This force, maintained and paid through burdensome taxation of the people, could promptly suppress all unlawful smuggling and all rebel- lious defiance of our government, Representative Blanton argues. This resolution. besides authoriz- ing the employment of the entire Navy and military forces, including the militia, would also wuthorize the use of the entire facilities of the United States Shipping Board, the Emergency Fleet Corporation and of the inland and coastwise waterways service and all resources of the gov- crament as far as Is necessary to suppress all such unlawful smug- gling Into the United States and all such rebellious deflance of our gov- ernment. Mr. Upshaw raid Congress should “‘clean around its own door by passing a resolution declaring persona non grata to the floor of the House any member found under the influence of liquor in the Capitol or House office building, or known to have i legally acquired in his office.” Ho also suggested that all federal appointees. including cabinet officials, Army and Navy officers and diplomatic be required to take a pledge of total abstinence. The “Executive guillo- tine,” he added. should be used on all government officials known to drink liguor. In reference to Mr. Upshaw said: _“The flagrant abuses of diplomatic immunity on the part of many of the attaches of foreign legations and em- bassies puts into italics the necessity for revoking a privilege that shoulc never have been allowed under our national prohibition law. Recent in vestigations have convinced me that some of these diplomats would be heartily glad to be relieved of the ex- pense and all their other troubles and responsibilities from liquor immunity. I am introducing a bill to relieve them of thelr bacchanalian tempta- itions in our prohibition land.” Would Bar Drinkers. The Georgla representative expry ed the opinion that the State Depart- ment should ‘“respectfully request that all foreign governments discon- tinue sending to this country diplo- matic and consular representati who exert a demoralizing influence upon our official and social life by dispensing from their residences and offices intoxicating liquors prohibited by our laws to American citizens.” 1t he were President, said Mr. Up- shaw, he “would declare without de- iplomatic” liquor, MEN’S WEAR Our Sémi-Annual Clearance Sale af- fords an opportunity to select quality at reduced prices.

PARIS, January 3.—The flood in the Beine is already assuming the pro- gortions of a disaster to sections of Paris and its environs. The river rose fifteen inches in the twanty-four hours ended at noon to- day, adding to the considerable dam- age already done in the suburbs of Paris and along the river in the departments of the Seine and Seine- et-Oise and causing the clity itself to suffer .serioualy. Many buildings along both banks of the river, notably the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of finance have had their cellars flooded and today a small army of workmen Y and bricklayers—began walking up all the entrances to the chamber of deputies and the foreign ministry in an effort to prevent further ingress of the waters, River Still Rising. Thig afternoon the river was stiil rising fast and gaining steadily on the pwmps being feverishly worked to keep the subways from being flood- ed and the water from further en- croaching upon the important build- ings along and near the river banks. The first fatality in the Paris region from the flood occurred lo\]ny' = when an cross & automobile attempting to street along the river at| Conflans was carried into deep | water by the current and the car and its driver swept away. First Inflitration Reported. The first infiltration into the Paris subway system was reported this morning at the station near the ‘chamber of deputies, about 200 feet from thfe right bank of the river. The movement of trains along that line was delayed, but trafic was con- tinwing thisafternoon, with the pumps working overtime in an attempt to keep the tube clear. The Qual d'Orsay and Invalides railway sta- tions dre flooded aml have been shut down. Worknien were engaged busily in plugging’ up with masonry all the sewer drain openings within a short distance af the river, the water hav- ing invaded the sewer system and causing an overflow from it into tha streets. The weather continued cloudy to- day with Intermittent rain, affordiag no promise of immediate relief.

POLICY IS AWAITED President Understood to Be Ready | to Announce Merchant Marine Stand. ‘With selection of a mew chairman for the Shipping Board virtually de- cided upon, President Coolidge is understood also to have worked out many of the points of his general policy with respect to the nation's merchant marine. The results of the President's study of the various marine problems are not expected to be made public for several days, but Chairman Jones of | the Senate commerce committee, one of his principal advisers on the que: tion, is preparing, meanwhile, for ex- peditious_action on nominations to fill the three Shipping Board vacan- cies to permit an early reorganization of its personnel. Leigh C.. Palmer, former chief of the Navy Department's bureau of navigation, is thought to be the President's - choice for the board chairmanship. He has conferred with the Executive three times within n week and his residence in Missouri makes him - eligible under the geo- graphical. provisions of the merchant marine act for appointment on the board. The nomination of Edward P. Far- ley of Chicago, who Is serving as chairman under & recess appolntment by President proved by. the committee on the ground that he was geegraphically disqualified for membership and has been withdrawn at hig request. The nominations of Frederick L. Thompson of Moblle, Ala., and Bert E. Haney of Portland, Oreg. which were withdrawn when it became necessary to select a new chalrman after the committee had voted their | approval, will be resubmitted, it is understood, when the name of Mr. Coolidge’s chofce to fill the third va- cancy and take over the chairmanship goes forward.
