s ¥ MRS, WILLEBRANDT SAYS DRINKING T Believes Reports of Increased, Liquor Use Greatly Exaggerated. (Continued From First Page.) Now what is the situation? Liquor is being sold and is obtainable, | as I have said, throughout the country. But, viewing it calmly, I think it is very doubtful whether as much drinking is done as appears to be done. That seems | like a contradictory if not a senseless statement. But it is certainly true that in the old days when a man took a drink either in his home, in his club or in a saloon, that fact was no novelty or “news” either to him, his neighbors or the newspapers. But now let a man, woman, girl or boy do very much drink-} ing and the fact becomes one of almost general public comment. At country clubs they boast, in the churches they deplore, in political forums they accuse, but everywhere they talk. The inevita- ble result is exaggeration of the basic fact. My public experience has made me believe that a psychological maxim as accurate as an algebraic formula is that a fact plus fe!)img plus l&epetlltltllrl uals great exaggeration and unrell- :gle cog:lusion, ‘And that's ahout the course of most prohibition discussion today among both “wets" and “drys. It is regarded as so smart and expen- sive in some circles that we might al- most say a bell rings or a whistle blows every time drinks are passed. In the old days a man drank a glass of beer or whisky, or several of them, all as a matter of course. Emulate Jack Horner. Toda¥ we are like little Jack Horner pulling out cocktail shakers with “Oh, what & smart boy am 11" The adver- tising and exaggerated importance, then. which is often all unconsclously given to every drink now consumed dis- torts its real value in making an honest estimate of how wet America really is. This is especially true with reference to “society drinking.” There never was a time in the old days when liquor was not freely consumed in the clubhouses frequented by the well to do. But my personal opinion is that there is no greater amount of drinking now by men and women of leisure and wealth. Few do it from habit. More do it for “show.” In nearly every country club will be found a coterie who attract attention by their large and flagrantly conducted | “parties.” I was in a nearby city just | a short time ago. My host said he| couldn’t go to a big country club party because it was to become “noisy” and “my presence would embarrass = his friends. He hastened to add that al- though this was a group of the “best social set, the majority of the club, members didn't stage such spectacular | wet parties. Nevertheless it is the per- formance of a small sensation-seeking | group that attracts most attention and convinces many people that all the country is weiter than ever before. | People so often ask, “But if prohibi- | tion is any success at all, why is it that | arrests for drunkenness in many cities have increased in recent vears?” I re-! member Senator Reed of Missouri made | a great speech about that before he left | the Senate. Undoubtedly increased ar- rests for drunkenness indicate a bad symptom. But it is ridiculous to assume | that it proves any increase in drinking. | I well remember that when I was public Cefender in the police courts of Los Angeles the “drunks” picked up on the | streets at night and from the saloons | at closing time were treated quite dif- ferently than they are in that city and | practically every other city in the United States foday. Now they are| placed under formal arrest, charged with illegal possession or sale of liquor or the’ violation of some city ordinance. Then they were regarded as objects of pity and placed in the “drunk tank. In the early morning they were haled into what was known as “sunrise court.” After admonition by the judge or pay-| ment of a $5 police “lodging fee" they | were, if sobered, turned out in time to | reach their place of business without loss of a working day. I have seen as high as 140 men and women passed through sunrise court in one morning. Only when their offense was repeated 80 as to become habitual were they for- mally charged, arraigned and tried. Recall Days of 1914, From 1911 to 1914, while attending law school, I used to wait late at night when the law library closed on the corner of First and Main streets in Los | Angeles for the interurban car to my suburban home. Indelibly impressed upon my mind is the fact that scarcely 2 night—never a week—went by with- out several drunken men reeling past me from the five saloons near, that cor- ner. No one noticed them. *Now one | such incident would cause headlines. | No, I am sure no adequate, reliable con- clusions can be drawn as to the wetness of the United States today by compar- | ing police blotters for drunkenness be- | fore and since prohibition. Traveling men and others who have | business contacts frequently say, “Why, | in the old days when we were engaged in a deal we passed out or were handed a cigar, and now we are taken into a private office and a bottle of liquor is pulled out of a file case or the bottom drawer as the method of breaking the ice and producing congeniality No one will deny, of course, that there was so-called business drinking in the old days. This treating in private offices | is only the modern form of the old — e AL NOTICES. E “Draw up, boys, to the old brass rail Drinks on the house!” For those who have had real experience with private liquor treating today and the saloon trating of yesterday there will be little doubt that the modern form is only dampness compared to a deluge. That in certain groups boys and girls are ‘more liable to drink than formerly I also do not deny. It is serious and repulsive. But, like country club drink- ing, that condition affects only a small proportion of all the young men and women who attend high schools and colleges or are engaged in industry. It touches those who drive their own road- sters and can imitate their defiant eld- ers. The same psychology that brings about “society drinking” has created drinking amount “society’s children.” It caters to the desire to be noticed, and youth has ever desired to do what is daring. No one places the blame for increased cigarette smoking on the pro- hibition law, and that increase probably is an expression of the same spirit of revolt which produces the increase of drinking among certain classes of young people. I am not lightly passing over drinking among youths: I am just won- dering if these youths of 1929 would not be doing it whether their liquor came from licensed saloons or illicit stills. Conditions Among Workers. Against these many disconcerting phases of prevalent drinking today we must in fairness balance the evidence of decrease in the amount of liquor consumed by the millions of working people of the country. Qur great in- dustrialists, including Ford, Edison, Durant and Alfred P. Slpan, jr., of the General Motors Co., have spoken defi- nitely and repeatedly as to the economic and industrial benefits of lessened drinking among the members of their organizations since prohibition became the law. Practically all economists agree that there have been real benefits ICONGRESS WILL TRY THE 10 SAVE OLYMPIA iMembers Forecast Effort to Bring Ship to Washington for Memorial. - Aroused by the recommendation of a Navy beard to sell the famous old bat- tleship Olympia for junk unless some | provision is made for its preservation, | members of Congress forecast today that | when Congress reassembled a deter- | mined effort would be made to pass the | bill introduced in 1928 authorizing bringing the ship here for a permanent | memorial in & slip to be built off Hains Point or some other fitting place.

Too many of us have answered the question according to our own hopes or desires, and then cited some fact that in a distorted setting seemed to furnish proof, like a city’s statistics on arrests ‘The honest answer lies in fairly weighing the disorderly evidences of “easy drinking” against balancing indications of gain, like the passing of “blue Mondays.” Even after doing that the result is not mathemati- cal. It is only opinion. But it can be a fair and calm opinion. We cannot forget that as long as a large number of people have a thirst | foralcoholic stimulants and other peo- | ple have a desire to “make big money quick” liquor will be produced and con- sumed in spite of laws or offcers of the aw. But T doubt if any one really believes for the fraction of a moment that pro- hibition has not reduced, and very materially reduced, both the production and consumption of intoxicating liquors throughout the United States. It has been more of an economic success than a legal success thus far. (Coprright, 1929, hybr",cu:nm News Featuras, In her next article Mrs. Willebrandt will discuss Enforcement.

The details he would not. discuss, because they concerned, first of all, the creditor governments. Smaller Creditors Object. Greece stated the case of the smaller powers in objection to the Young rep- arations plan to the Associated Press today. . “The smaller creditor powers are here,” he said, “to remind the confer- ence that the experts in Paris over- looked their debts when they fixed their shares of the reparations payments.” The premier, who is the recognized spokesman of the little nations—Greece, Poland, Rumania, Gzechoslovakia, Jugo- B d Portugal—sal 000,000 gold marks (about $336,000,000) war_debts. The Young plan will give us only 500,000,000 gold marks (about $120.000- 000) in 58 years. The experts at P: were evidently unaware as to how much we owed or they would have fixed the shares of the larger creditors to take care of our payments. “We owe the United States 160.000.- 000 marks (about $38,400,000): France, 766,000,000 marks (about $183,840,000), and England 472,000,000 marks (about $113,280,000) statesman said the smaller powers had no intention of at- king the Young plan, but simply would call the attention of the con- ference to the oversight from which they suffer. “If that oversight cannot be now cor- rected,” he added significantly, “there will always. of course, be the possibility of our creditors providing compensation form of a revision of our war No Plot on Part of Powers. “There is no plot on the part of the small powers.

Paris, where it was evolved. Yesterday's indictment by Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the e: chequer, echoed today in every delega- tion. Some of the governmental rep- resentatives approved and some di: approved, but there was general recog- nition it presaged a battle of the diplo- | mats on its provisions before the con- | ference should end. | Mr. Snowden's criticism was sharp and unequivocal. Speaking with refer- ence to the Young committee's depar- ture from the Spa percentages for di- vision of reparations. he declared. hope you will forgive my speaking frankly, but I wish to say this division is inacceptable and utterly indefensible. | | The experts make no attempt to explain or defend it.” Later he asserted flatl; “Common sense never will agree to further sacri- fices of British interests. There is no division between our parties on this question. So long as reparations and debts are paid. every British govern- ment will insist on fair treatment in this matter. Snowden Cites Objections. | Principally Mr. Snowden’s objections to the Young plan were: (1) Great Britain loses $12,500,000 yearly, as compared with the Dawes plan, by reason of alteration of the Spa percentages. (2) Great Britain is expected to for 20 $1,000,000.000 which the allies owe her under the terms of the Balfour note, on account of payments already made to the United States. (3) By the provisions for allocation of Germany's conditional and uncondi- tional payments, Great Britain is ex- cluded from the unconditional, or fund- able, payments in favor of France. (4) To provisions for the continua- tion of Germany's payments in kind for 10_years more. While on the face of Mr. Snow- den’s attack it would appear the Brit- ish government will not find the Young plan acceptable, general opinion here was the British objections were to- be | used merely as trading ground for other | concessfons. It was felt generally that Mr. Snow- den had rendered the conference, just beginning its labors, a great service in | bringing out the outstanding objections | to the Young plan at the very outset. The resulting disagreement, however, was relished by no one, unless in the | German camp, where some chance of | diplomati¢ profit lay in the turmofl.
