ELIMINATION OF DRY ISSUE SEEN FOR 1928 Capper Confident Both Political Parties Will Take Stand for Enforcement. Senator Capper of Kansas is confi- dent that both major political parties will stand squarely for enforcement of the national prohibition law in the campaign next year, thus eliminating the wet and dry ‘questioh as an issue at_the polls. In an editorial in the November issue of Capper’s Farmer the Kansas Senator points out that the sentiment of the country won't allow a repeal of the eighteenth amendment and that any other move, such as one toward modification, would violate the spirit of the Jaw. “I have mot the slightest doubt,” declares Senator Capper, “that the Democratic national convention of 1928 will demand enforcement of the prohibition law. It is certain that the Republican national convention will, Modificationists and compromisers on a question that is incapable of compromise or of modification will be in such a minority in the Repub- lican national convention that my pre- diction is they will not be heard from. It the issue should be raised, I do not anticipate it will arouse great interest among the delegates. It will be voted down without a roll call. Liquor has never obeyed any modifying law. It will never obey any law but a bone- dry law honestly and vigorously en. forced. Every one of the rock-ribbed prohibition States knows you cannot make terms with John Barleycorn. Whenever the liquor question is raised in an election the candidate who at- tempts to straddle it goes down to defeat. It is not an issue which may be juggled with. I am certain that neither party—certainly not the Re- publican party—will trifie with the people by favoring modification any more than it will favor the repeal of the amendment.” —————e W'NARY OUTLINES | .

Searching analysis of the actual, not apparent, causes of war is essential in planning this education, Mr. Rus- sell said, and he ridiculed the idea that desire for economic advantage or idealism are fundamental in the arm- ed clash of nations. There are three principles planted in the human mind, he said, which are actually the basis of war and these must be rooted out by proper educa- tion before any mechanical instrument for world peace can have hope of suc- cess. The first of these, he said, is love of power; second, the hunger of hate; and third, the impulses of sheer cruelty. . Hatred Is Cowardice, Love of power, he explained, is an integral part of our mental make-up and never can be uprooted by educa- tion, but only diracted to constructive rather than destructive ends. Hatred, he said, is another form of cowardice and can be eliminated by developing fearlessness in children, whereas most schools today, with the flag-waving tactics of teachers and the fervently patriotic text books, are striving to develop cowards. Once, he explained, this hunger of hatred was partly satisfled by hatred of a personal devil, but with a broaden- Ing of religious ideas the fear of hell had been greatly lessened. But with minds so trained there must be something to hate, so another nation has been set up in place of the devil. “I think,” he said. “that it was better to hate the devil than to hate Germans. Psychology will tell you that there is 2 very narrow dividing line between intense rage and abject fear. The more intense the anger against the enemy, the nearer you are to rank cowardice—a rather curi- ous paradox when we consider the traditional linking of courage with military operations.” The impulses of sheer cruelty, Mr. Russell said, are in their extreme form a type of psychopathic disease, but in milderformsthe love of seeing suffering i8 very widespread in the human race and is largely the result of unhealthy impulses sown in the child mind in school days, which could largely be eliminated by different teaching. Patniotism Questioned. { The idea that nations fight for economic advantage, Mr. Russell said, | has been encouraged because even selfishness is a more respectable mo- tive than the actual motives under- lving war. “If you had a world where people really acted from self-interest, he said, “you would be very near an earthly paradise, because, after all, the | of most people are pretty | much alike.” | The philosopher questioned the vir- tue of patriotism, or blind devotion to the state, which he sald had grown up largely because the education of chil- dren has been in the hands of the state, whose greatest object is to per- petuate itsell, The actual contribu- tions to the betterment of humanity coming from any geographic section, he said, have nothing to do with the government of that section. Mr. Russell suggested a history text book for international use composed by an international committee, which would be interested only in recording { the story of the progress of mankind and not in making out a case for any geographic entity. He also advo- cated a type of education that would look to training the individual to do his own thinking rather than to act as a member of a group. Little Desire for Peace. There seems little real desire for péace in the world, the philosopher suid, in spits of the fact that nearly every one will say that he would like to see a way . but doesn’'t think It is For this rea- son, he pointed out, men who really are striving to find a practical road to peace are more or less boycotted socially without consideration of the work they have done. He deplored schoul training which | tends to inculcate unthinking respect for the flag. The tlag of any coun- try. he sal is simply the symbol of a geographical division of the earth. ~The really worthwhile things of that geographical unit. he insisted. World peace built on the predomi- | nant Dower of one State or group of States—such as might come from a strong Anglo-American alliance— might be practical for a time, but could not last more than a century before the structure was broken down, he said.

The convention is sched- uled to open April 10. Arrangements also were made to conduct an inde- pendent campaign for the Socialist party’s candidates for president and vice president. Soclalists to Have Wet Plank. Representative Berger, who came to New York to aid in the Socialist party mpaign to re-clect Municipal Court Justice Jacob Pankin, said last night that the Soclalist national platform to be framed at the April convention will contain a wet plank. Other is- sues to be espoused by the Socialists in their 1928 ecampalgn include na- tionul ownership of water power and unemployment insurance, Berger said. The newly-elected Socialist party leader predicted the nomination and election of Alfred E. Smith to the presidency in 1928. “If the Democrats do not name Al Smith, then it matters little who they name,” Berger sald. ‘“‘Their prospects will be hopetess. “If the Democrats nominate him he would not only carry the sclid South, despite religious prejudice, but he would also carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, probably Ken- tucky, and, in a pinch, Illinois.” Representative Berger declared that he was contident that Smith would accomplish this, even though Presi- dent Coolidge was his opponent, Helped Organize Party. Berger now becomes national chalr- man of the party he helped to or- ganize nearly 30 years ago. He was the first Socialist to enter Congress when he took his seat as a Repre- sentative from Wisconsin in 1910. In 1918 Berger was convicted with four other Soclalist party officlals for violation of the espionage act based on speeches he delivered and articles written by him for his paper, the Mil. waukee Leader, in opposition to Amer- ican participation in the war. He was sentenced by Federal Judge Landis to 20 years’ imprisonment. The conviction was reversed by the Supreme Court. While under sen- tence he was twice elected to Con. gress, but denied his seat. He was seated on his third election and since has been a member of the House of Represendntives. “If Gov. Smith is elected,” Berger said, “my advice to him on the ques. tion of prohibition would be to favor a policy of leaving dry enforcement to the several States, withholding Federal port of the law. That it to become ineffective he Doubts Norris’ Chances. Regarding the prohibition situation, Bfl-";.r said: “This country was on the verge of becoming a nation of soft-drink consumers, but now it is a nation of hard drinkers and there is more drunkenness than ever. Prohibition got into the Constitution as a war measure and I don't know how we are going to get it out except on the theory that a law which is against public policy should not be obeyed.” Berger discounted the presidential chances of United States Senator Georme W. Norris of Nebraska and of former Gov. Frank O. Lowde He characterized as ‘‘moonshl the statement that Lowden was the farm- ers' friend, “Nothing can help the farmer,” he said. “The farmer paid the cost of the war. Attempts to legisiate have not helped him. The McNary-Haugen bill is a fool bill. I voted against it twice and voted for it the third time only because the farmers wanted it.” Berger declared that the so-called Progresalve party in Wisconsin had no right to use the Republican label. He conceded that the La Follette in- fluence in the State was powerful and that it would swing support to Sen- ator Norris. ROLLINS TALKS TONIGHT. Delivers First Lecture Before Bible Casls of 8t.

PLEA Wilson Presents Amendment! at Geneva on Export ] Rationing. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, Switzerland, October 19 —In view of the Franco-American tarift question, the International Con ference for the removal of restrictions on exports took on special importance today because of the introduction of an amendment by Hugh Wilson American deélegate, to the draft of a | convention concerning the rationing tion. The draft treaty provides that when ignatories shall comply with the ons of the convention for sim tion of customs formalities. Referred to Committee. | Mr. Wilson, who is the new Amer ican Minister to Switzerland, told the conference that the United States was not a party to this convention and |that it was desirable to repeat its stipulations, with the additional clari- article that when rationing of exports and imports seemed nece Y all signatories shall have a right to an equitable share in proportion to their normal volume of trade in the particular_class of goods affected. He further proposed that in appli cation_of this provision tion should be made between direct and indirect shipments. The American amendment caused | general debate and eventually was re- |ferred to a committee. French Delegate Speaks. Special interest was caused by a speech delivered by M. Serroys, French delegate, in which he declared that the new article or paragraph vroposed by the United States raised the question of whether the policy of a “‘most-favored-nation” clause in in- ternational commercial treaties was to | be applied to the rationing of exports to various countries. M. Serroys thought that this was a delicate and | complicated problem which would re- quire a special conference for elucida- tion and settlement. The Italian delegate then took ex- ception to the American suzgestion that there should he no distinction between direct and indirect ship- ments. Mr. Wilson later explained that his amendment was based ‘on the draft submitted by the Washington Govern- ment to other nations as the basis of treaties of commerce and friendship. STINSON'S PLANE 1S FORCED 20N | Passengers, in New I England Field. By the Associated Pre SHERBORN, Mass.,, October 19.— Forced down in a storm, Eddie Stin- son’s big, vellow, cabined monoplane rested easily in a hay field today. It made a perfect landing last night, al- though a raw ‘“northeaster” for hours led to grave apprehension that the have met serious mishap. Stinson, with his wife, Ravene E. Barnekow, German avi- ator; Phillp Ashby, and J. T. Whit- taker and Fred Koehler, two of his factory mechanics, were uninjured. They were driven to Framingham, where they took a train to Boston. Stinson, Detroit manufacturer, was on the last lap of an 18,000-mile tour undertaken to promote interest in air- ports. He made his landing about 8:30 In the evening, but the apparent failure of any of the party to notify triends or airport authorities in Bos- ton caused an extensive search to be started, and resulted in many anxious moments until the big ship was finally located in this isolated place. MASONIC GRAND MASTER GUEST OF TWO LODGES Official Visitation Made to King David and East Gate Subordinate | Organizations. King David Lodge, Gate Lodge, No. 34, F. A. A. M., were hosts last evening to the grand master of Masons in the District of Columbia, and the officers of the Masonic Grand Lodge, on the occasion of the annual grand visitations to those subordinate bodies. King David Lodge, which meets in its own home, Masonic Tem- ple, Brookland, was visited at 8 o'clock, and East Gate Lodge, which owns a new structure at Rhode Island and Mills , avenues, received the Grand Lodge officers at 9 o'clock. East Gate also was host to King David, the mem- bers of the latter lodge, as soon as their visitation ended, proceeding from Brookland to Woodridge to be guests of the organization for which they stood sponsor when its charter was granted. Andrew N. Ross, master of King David Lodge, and Arthur Carson, mas- -er of East Gate Lodge, each welcomed the grand master and his officers in terms of cordiality. Grand Master Dunkum, in responding, felicitated the Indges on their history and their rec- ords of Masonic achievement.
