One of the first things I intend to do is to draw the attention of the government to the‘ fact that, regardless of the rightness or wrongness of prohibition, we are antagonizing a friendly country, the United States, by countenancing the shipping of vast quantities of liquor | to the Bahamas and other British | islands off the Atlantic coast, which we know is intended for smuggling into America. It's ridiculous to| imagine that the amount of liquor | now going to these places is only suf- | ficient for PBritish inhabitants. The| recent correspondence between Mr. | Hughes and Ambassador Geddes| clearly indicates that we must be| careful not, even tacitly, to interfere | with the enforcement of the laws of & friendly country. “When Mr. Johnson"—Mr. Scrym- | geour avoided the word Pussyfoot— | “came here there was a storm of protest against his alleged interfer- | ence with the affairs of this country. Well, the same argument should hold true in our attitude toward the en-| forcement of prohibition in the Unit- ed States. Of course, however, \v:" prohibitionists know Mr. Johnson did not interfere with the affairs of this! country. He merely came, at our in- | vitation, to tell us what had been | done in the United States and to let| us draw our own conclusions. Tt has| been alleged that the anti-saloon | league has been helping us in the| cause of prohibition. Of course thm’ is not true. The anti-saloon |eague has not given us one penny, and we don’t expect any material support from any American organization. We | are quite able to do the thing our- selves, although certainly we shall welcome moral support from what- | ever source.” | YEAR OF WILD BOAR IN JAPANESE LORE Government Has Suppressed Old Calendar of 12 Animals 26.—In Japan, 1923 will be the year of the Wild Boar and those born the following twelve months will be characterized by sin- cerity and rashness, according to Jap- anese lore. They will be free from | material cares and unnecessarily touchy. The government Hhas sup- pressed the old calendar made up of twelve zodiacal animals but the people of Japan still derive from it many superstitions and inspiration for their art. Postcards representing the 1923 Boar chasing the 1922 Dog are on sale ‘all over the city. " This old calendar is of Chinese or- igin and is common to the Tartars, Turks, Mongols and Tibetans, as well as to the Japanese.
