RUSSIA PONDERIN It not surprising to that Tchitcherin, after consulting the Italian Prime Minister and learning from hjm that the reply would break up the conference, went back and pondered over that reply which had been prepared for presen- tati For, it be repeated again, Russia will not break up the conference without getting the cash she wants or as much of it as she is R will talk and she not go home I'rance or other tions get tired of her irresponsible actions and act. Tt is'Lloyd George's task to see that the other nations do is find Russian n. may able bluster, bhut handed unless will empty na- not do this. {ussia’s reply, of course,—which it was shown to Tchitcherin would be nnacceptable—tried to leave unsettled the matter of returned private prop- erty, or, rather, it wanted the matter settled by arranging to have different Ru nation separately. Naturally, as this private property issue is at the ver) the Genoa discussion, and as may be decided until business arrangergent has heen made regard to it, Russia’s proposal to leave it up in the air and to go on with the conference, would be worth- lgss. There may be little more satisfac- tion in the reply to the allied terms Russia but it sure ‘that there will be nothing in it, if Russia knows what the effect of her reply will be, that will break up the settlements between a and each basis of nothing else a in does submit, is quite conference. 25 Years Ago Today (Taken from Herald of that date) Court Charter Oak, F. of A, have elected William .

Muskegon, Mich,, May 11.—Over the protests of mothers, in the- city, Muskegon has adopted, by will of the voters, day ht saving time for the spring and summer months. The mothers fought the proposal to set the clocks ahead one hour on the ground it would disrupt the fecd- ing schedules for their infants and therefore endanger the health of the youngsters. During the campaign that preced- ed the special election at which the issue was decided the mothers fought countless word battles against it. The majority of voters, however, turned a deaf ear to their entreaties. The mothers' campaign stogan of “save the by voting down daylight saving time" fell on empty ears, the babies | proposal to change time carrying by an overwhelming majority.

A. Haynes, federal prohibition commis- sioner, told the Churchmen's IPedera- tion hdye today. Mr., Haynes com- pared this figure with 130,000,000 gallons of American made whiskey which he said were‘consumed in the United States annually during the years immediately preceding prohibi- tion, and with about twelve and a half million gallons withdrawn from lionded warchouses on : permits in 1920 and about three and a half mil- liens in 1921, Newspapers Wrong “It 1s siggificant,” Mr. Haynes con- tinued “that at a time when liquor is more difficult to obtain than at any other time in our history; when drunkenness has decrecased to a very appreciable degree; when convictions for the violation of law are hecoming most numerous; that at such times the largest amount of space is given in some of our newspapers to articles most flimsy of facts, which set forth the idea that '‘prohibition was a fail- ure’ I am'inclined to believe that this propaganda has its origin in the interest of large personal gains on the part of a comparative few, who have felt most forcefully the effects of the law. As long as enforcement officers could be easily bribed; as long as the traffic went on unimpeded either by taxes, fines or jall sentences, as long as only the small offenders were brought to justice, there was little cause for the insidious propaganda. “Nothing can affront the American people more than the statement that we cannot enforce our laws. In this statement lies the death warrant of the republic, for this nation cannot endure without reverence for law, without the recognized authority of law. 'The' perpetrators of this new treason ha e overlooked one of the great essentials of the American peo- ple; that law is but an expression of the nation’s will, and the will power of America has never met apparently insuperable difficulties and changed them into world amazing achieve- ments. Law Ratified “This law was ratified by forty-six states, the largest number of states that had ever ratified a constitutional amendment. “The real issue that underlies all the contest over prohibition enforce- ment is Americanism in conflict with old world customs and concepts; it is democracy against avarice, lawless- ness and anarchy. It is no mere ex- pression of pride to say that when America wills to do that which other nations have not done, she will not fail of that achievement, “This is an hour when the burden of the war rests heavily upon people through the imposition of taxes, and the astute propagandist has pointed to the fact that prohibition will cost the government nearly $10,000,000 this coming year., However, if we were to collect the fines, penalties and speclal tax impos- ed upon violators of the law in the first six months of this administration, they would more than pay two and one half times the estimated cost of enforcing the prohibition law for the next year. Those enormous figures do not include nearly $3,000,000 in honds that are being forfeited to the government, or $2,000,000 that have heen offered in compromise by 21 of the largest violators of the law, and do not include $6,000,000 in differ- ential or prohibitive tax."
