For this situation Connecticut is in no way responsible, Connecticut did not rati- fy the 18th amendment. Both of our senators and all our congressmen voted against the amendment and against the Volstead act. Their ac- tion was approved by the repubii- can party in Connecticut. This action was based on the fundamental prin- ciple that regulation of this kind is properly the function of the several states and not of the federal gov- ernment and we therefore urge on our represenfatives the na- tional congress the need of prompt remedial action and that they assist in taking those steps which shall as early as possible restore to the states of the Union the right to regulate their own affairs in regard to such matters. FOG AND BREEZE GOMBINE T0 SPOIL (Continued From First Page) shrouded in the fog whicly, became so thick that the air could hold it | no longer and began to fall in drops like raim the mist.

It also al- lowed her afterguard more time in which to ponder the two reverses and consider ways and means to im- prove the speed of their boat. The coast guard patrol force, which keeps the racing course clear, remained in harbor. Says British “Licked” Newport, R.

The speaker is Rear Commodore Ralph Grove-Raines of the Royal [Uister Yacht club, Beltast, Ireland, | home port and club of Sir Thomas Lipton. Commodore Grove-Raines | has sailed the seas with the grand | old Irish baronet for years, and fs | the guest of Sir Tom aboard the big steam yacht -Erin. He knows the thought, the time, the wealth the 80-year-old merchant has invested in his vain but gallant | dream of winning the America's cup —a, sort of crusader's quest for the holy grail of yachting. He knows that the beloved sportsmarf is tread- ing wearily toward the end of his ngland is beginning to realize Commander Grove-Raines isefld as he sat in the sun on the afterdeck of the Erin and watched the Enterprise sail away from the Emerald challenger, “that she can never lift the cup as things stand now and probably will never try |again. She realizes that if Sir Tom can't do it with all the mil- lions at his time and effort he has expended, then the task is impossible.” Blames Crossing Strain Commodore Grove-Raines believes lantic under her own power, one of the terms of which a challenger for |the cup must accept ,undoubtedly |hurt the Shamrock. She looked to | be an entirely different boat in trial Iraces in British waters, a fast, keen boat that won the confidence of England beyond any other challeng- er Sir Thomas has produced in the Shamrock line. Now look at her,” sald Commo- dore Grove-Raines, “she sails as though she were dragging a crab pot.” | While the yachtman in no way rep- resents the official opinion of the Lipton party and spoke only for himself, he suggested that there were ways of increasing the [chances of the challenger from |across seas to a point where they would stand more on a par with the defender. He suggested mainly that 7 EASTERN MIL skipper of the Enterprise, with two | lose or draw, the discouraging efforts | command and all the | the strain of having to cross the At- | England, for instance, should be alv | lowed to build her boat in any sec- tion of the empire, such as the Do- mhq:m of Canada. Then six precious weeks out of the tuning up period would be saved and the strain and possibilities of harm in ocean cross- ing avoiced . Within the working forces of the Lipton party there is evidence of rather acute differences of opinion as to the reasons for Shamrock's ab- solute failure to live up to past per- formanoces and expectations. With Sir Thomas himself i1l and aged and physically incapable of carrying the burdens of leadership he once glor- ied in, there seems to be dissension among those seeking to command. To Put Ballast Back They took a ton of lead from the ballast of the Shamrock, lost yvester- day's race by almost 10 minutes, and decided to put it back. There is the reported accusation from within the party that the tactics of the Sham- rock skipper, Ted Heard, are at fault in that he has failed to sail definitely in eithqr of the two wavs open to him—to sail with the En- terprise and follow her tactics close- ly, or else do cxactly the opposite and maneuver without regard for the defender. Information is hard to get in con- trast to the old ease and availability of Sir Thomas himself. His secre- taries shield him from almost every possible contact, and truth of deci- sions and movements both afloat and ashore is often trified with. The effect of a house divided within it- self, the sails appear too heavy for the prevailing light weather, and there are few replacements as com- | pared with the wealth of materials and gadgets aboard the Enterprise.
