Ascociateq Press. W YORK, May e theater has been the underl, motive of the church in seeking censorship, Oti: er, well known actor, said y in an address before 100 Methodist pastors. His statement drew protests from the audience. & r since the inception of the drama in medieval England in the form of the mystery plays, the church has recognized the theater as a rival drawing power, and has attempted to suppress it 1 Mr. Skinner. *Jeal- ousy is apparent in the effort of cer- tain churches and religious bodies to impose cens p in the theater.” Denying that he intended to defend Balacious plays, Mr. Skinner said it ble to combat evil by The Rev. Dr. John W. Longdale, chairman of the meeting, answered: “It is news to me that the Methodist Church is envious of the theater. The attitude of the Methodist Church to- ward the theater Is prompted by two considerations, first, the danger of corrupting the morals of children who re unable to discriminate between good and bad plays. and second, the apparent impossibility of modifying the theater as to exclude bad plays.” His statement was applauded.

Upwards of $30, 000,000 annually is now being spent by the Federal Government alone, it is estimated, in the attempt to enforce prohibition. ROY A. HAYNES. This does not include expenditures of the courts. The sum is offset to con- siderable extent by annual fines which run into the million Matching the Federal effort are many of the States which have en- forcement agencles cf their own dis- tinct from othor activities. These sub- divisions of government along with the cities spend, it is belloved, not, les than the Federal Government. If so, at least $60,000,000 annually is being expended in prohibition enforcement. Turn to Borders. Until the beginning of the row blockade, the smuggling of liquor ashore has constituted the chief problem of law enforcement. With the inauguration of the block- ade, it seems certain that bootleggers will turn next to Canada and Mexico for their supply. The task of pre- venting border smuggling thus takes on new difficulties. With border smuggling the Coast Guard has no concern save where lakes and navigable streams are used to bring in liquor. The umbrella rum de Mark Reg. Tods NarkGiee ING against the Canadian torrent and the cement to check the surge from Mexico are in the hands of land offi- cials, mainly workers of the prohibi- tion unit. With this in mind, your correspondent went to Roy A. Haynes, Federal prohibition commissioner, for a statement as to his plans. “We are at war,” sald Comimis- sioner Haynes, “against a real enemy. Now, America never vet has entered a war in a state of full preparedness. We have always had to prepare, always did prepare and always won. The present warfare has been no ex- ception to the rule thus far, nor will it be in its final results. “Difficulties on the Canadian border are peculiarly complicated, for the reason that the Canadian law per- mits exportation, while our law pro- hibits importation. However, a series of conferences with Canadian officials early in the administration of the law resulted in their giving the utmost possible co-operation in our efforts to ose the border and later in the sign- ing of a treaty which has been of in- ilable value. Land Force Freed. A most careful and thorough in- vestigation was made of the liquor smuggling from the Bahamas and the Indies and the problem was attacked by means of an alr service and a CJhe Place to STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, MAY 26, marine service. This service was necessarily made up of men with lit- tle training, because this line of work was new. Money was not available to increase our small force or to pur- chase the necessary equipment for 8o great a task. Our boats were small and unequipped to battle with the large boats and unlimited means of the rum-runners, “However, by concentrated effort the flood of smuggled liquor was staunched for a time, this being ap- parent in the quality 'of liquor which was being sold on shore. “In the meantime every one inter- ested in enforcement was making every effort to have the smuggling problem taken over by the Coast Guard, the proper and only organiza- tion equipped to handle It. This was recently done. The land forces are thus free to concentrate on the border smuggling and to wage a most suc- cessful campaign against the diversion of industrial alcohol. ‘While the Coast Guard is demon- strating its ability to handle the smuggling problem, the forces under my direction stand ready at all times to render every assistance necessary. ‘While we have not concentrated many extra men along the line of defense, all agents regularly assigned to that territory are on their toes every minute in order that any liquor which { erably since the blockade began. 1925. may slip through the Coast Guard lines will be stopped before it can be distributed. Denatured Alcohol Price Up. “The effect of the Coast Guard blockade iIs plainly visible in the rise in price of denatured alcohol, which is the main source of supply for boot- leggers who are unable to secure smuggled goods. In New York my agents have reported the hootleg pr of denatured alcohol has risen consid- “While not yet apparent, the block- ade of rum row will doubtless cause greater activity {n the rum-running along the Canadian and Mexican bor- ders. It is got possible at this time. nor would it be wise, to make any announcement concerning the meas- ures which will be taken to curb any attempt to bring liquor in at Detroit and surrounding points, but it is be- lieved that with the continued co- operation of Canadian authorities such activities may be cut to the minimum. Negoaltions with the Mexican Gov ernment no doubt will aid greatly in the preventien of smuggling over that border. “As 1 have often said, the problem of enforcement of the prohibition law is not the separate problem of any one group of officials or department of the Government, but a problem get which the United States Government | have set as a whole must meet and solve. it is solved or who lends most to the |be solved. consummation of the task which we How | material. out to mcecamplish is im- The main thing is that it and soon (Conyright._1925.)
