Will Consider Reforms of Many Sorts, Including Those Pertaining to Farms. Stockholmn, Nov. 24.—The Swed- ish Riksdag in 1928 will deal with a number of new bills' of national im- portance, according to a public an- nouncement by a member of the present cabinet, K. J. Schlyter, min- ister without portfolio. Among the significant proposals ln be submitted is a bill calling for ex- This bill deals with ways and means of apportioning arable crown lands as homesteads to individuals, with safe- | guarded property rights, for an un- limited period of time. also for more extensive colonization of public domains by small farmers, and for the expropriation of privately owned land, especially parts of the managed agricultural: estates. Among the other issucs to be con- sidered next year is th> cight-hour law, which will be disposed of in one of three ways either abolished, con- tinued as a provisional measure, or enacted into a statutory law; a bill proposing that the police force in the cities and the provinces be reorgan- ized; a new forestry conservation law designed to give the small timber owner greater privileges of cutting for personal use as well for the market, and a new bill pMviding for the importan® reforms in the gent rrpulnuou law, aimed especially aholishing rent profiteering. Laws giving women greater oppor- tunities for holding public offices also are expected. RAILROAD FARES Anstria Finds 1t Necessary to Raise Them 24 Times. Vienna, Nov. 24.—-Railway rates in Austria weresraised by 300 per cent. early this month, making them now 24 times what they were on August 1, 1922 Even with this heavy in- crease, it is estimated that the deficit still will bhe about 1,600,000,000 crowns a day. The passenger deficit is said to be due largely to the enormous amdunt of free transportation, or cost price fares, enjoyed by govern- ment servants. During the summer it was estimated that at least half the travel was of this class. 8o far the government has taken no steps toward abolishing the evil, tensive agrarian grants and reforms. | Tt provides | holdings of large companies and mis- | so-called | WETER AV TD STOP SHUGGLING Great Border of U. 5. 1Is Not| Wholly Protected, Is Claim Toronto, Canada, Nov. 24.--To stop lquor smuggling across interna- tional bowndary lines would require a greater navy than any had in peace, so long as countries on the other side of the border are not in sympathy with our national prohibition policy, Dr. Ernest H, Cherrington, . Wester- ville, 0., secretary of the World Lea- gue Against Alcoholism, declared in addressing the league convention here today. The total international |-rnuml|r\ line of the United States is 17, miles in length, including two coun- tries, two immense oceans and a large gulf, he declared. Beyond this boun in virtually every di- réection the liquor traffic has a rec- ognized legal standing. ‘Imports Accepted. “In spite of all the intoxicating li- quors held in bond in the Uhited States at present, which are more than sufficient for all legitimate re quirements for years to come,” said the speaker, “the fact remains that during the first eight mooths of 1921 there was accepted international im- ports of 180,000 gallons of whisky and 362,000 quarts of champaigne. “The sgingle province of Quebec, Canada, on our northeastern border, imported in 1921 more Scotch whisky than had been imported into that province during the entire ten years preceding. “Estimates have been made to the effect that in the vicinity of Detroit, Michigan, there are smuggled over the Canadian border 1,000 cases of contraband liquors every twenty-four hours. “The island of Bimini and Cuba, together with others of the West In- dia group, are well known bases of operation for international bootleg- ging and the violation of both the spirit and the letter of the prohibi- tion law in the United States. “The Mexican border with the none too well policed mountain districts present large opportunities for the carrying on of an illicit traffic in all kinds of liquors across the border in defiance of the American constitution as well as the national and state pro- hibitory codes. * Airship Is Used. “Already the airship is beifig em- ployed as an agency for liquor smug- gling and when one bears in mind the remarkable progress of aerial naviga- tion during the past five years it does not require a great sweep of the im- lagination to alize the possibilities of the nse of airships in great num- bers for breaking down of prohibitory regulations during the next five years. “THe many new organizations in America for the nullification and re. peal of prohibition are, after all, but a part of the program of the strongly crganized international liquor traffic which represents greater wealth and influence than it ever represented as a national institution. So today the future of American prohibition is in- volved in what is to be the future poliey on the liquor question in Can- ada, Mexico, Japan, England and oth- er nations. ““The economic inlernational pres- sure being brought by such countries as France, Spain, Portugal and Ital upon smaller prohibition nations na- turally raised the question as to whether such action is of concern to R| the government of the United States."” VOICES IN THE AIR WGI {American Radio and Research Corp.

Tokio, Nov. 24.—Whether Abreojos Island in the South Seas exists and’ whether its name should be kept on navy charts is what the Japanese navy has been trying to find out since 1914. Officers of the warship Man- shu, dispatehed to the spot where the island is reported, found the sea there 2.000 fathoms deep and the bottom flat. Within 180 square miles of that area no island is to be seen. i The island is supposed to have been discovered in 1904 by a British steamer fnd since that time varions lrnportfl have been received from the place, but every ship that tried to lo- lcut’lt has failed. by | El B @EIEIEIEIE]@@E@EE@@E@D@@@@E}EE@EEE!EIIEIE@EIEEEE@EE@@@E@E@@@E@EE@E@M l P oo BALANCE ON EASY sure delivery for Saturday.
