; Says Present Liquor
Laws “Un-American”
and Nowhere Observed
Detroit.—Following the announce
ment that Federal prohibition officers
r from Washington would arrive this
week to begin a campaign to enforce
prohibition in Detroit. Robert D. War
dell, secretary of the Detroit branch of
the Association Against the Prohibi-|
tion Amendment, issued a lengthy
statement Monday. He says the pres- j
ent liquor laws are only tolerated be
cause they are nowhere observed. “By j
all means try to enforce them,” his
• statement reads.
Mr. Wardell terms the present laws
“un-American.'” and says that they;
were rushed through by an organiza-i
tion of fanatics which took advantage
of war conditions and failed to take
into consideration the resulis. He says j
i the inability of the Government to en
force a law which has not the support
of the public has brought widespread
contempt for other laws, resulting in
the greatest crime wave in history.
“It has proved a constant source of
irritation.and has ipflamed class hatred
at the ti-mawhen we are moet in need
. of harmony and co operation,” Mr.
Wardell said. “It has filled our prisons
and choked our courts with cases. The
medical journals report that prohibi
tion is now a serious menace to the
health and that it is filling our insane
asylums and cemeteries.
“It has raised taxes and has made
• the worst element of the old liqucr
trade rich at the expense of the Gov
ernment. It has corrupted politics in
■ stead of improving them. The most
unholy alliance America has yet known
is that between the unscrupulous poli

"Prohibition was largely tinanced by
some ol the biff corporations on the
promise that it would enable them to
eet more work out of their n.en. They
tell us that they have been disappoint
ed. The Association Against the Pro
hibition Amendment sent ou; 1.500 let
ters to large manufacturing concerns,
and of the 1.200 auswers received every
one said that the efficiency of labor had
not increased, but. in most cases had
decreased, and that prohibition had
only added another cause of discontent
and friction.
“The saloon is fortunately gone and,
as both sides are opposed to it, can not
return, but few of our people really
support the present drastic laws or
think them necessary.
“It is a condition and not a theory
that confronts us. To meet this, the
Association Against, the Prohibition
Amendment proposes that the unpop
ular Volstead act be repealed and the
manufacture of light beer and wine be
legalized. This is possible under the
ruling of the United States Supreme
Court to the effect that Congress may
fix the legal content of beverages. The
Michigan chapter of the Association
will then present to the voters of this
State the repeal of the present drastic
State prohibition laws and the legaliz
ing of the sale of good beer and wine,
direct by the manufacturer to the
home.”
United States Holds
$3,500,000,000 of the
World’s Gold Supply
New York.—Gold holdings of the
United States, the world’s sole creditor
nation, mounted to a new hign record
last month, approximating the stupen
dous sum of $3,500,000,000. Statisti
cians estimate this to be 35 to 40 per
cent of the world’s visible supply.
Metal which has been pouring into
this country ever since the close of the
war has averaged '$75,000,000 monthly
this vear.
Some of the gold bears the stamp of t
nations born after the European cata
clysm, and some of the minted metal is
almost as rare and strange to the av
erage observer as an old-time Spanish
doubloon.
Part of the gold sent here by Ger
many to meet reparations payments to
the allies was said to be French coins
(louis d’or) extracted by Germany from
France as indemnity after the Franco
Prussian war in 1870
The amount of gold bars now held by
the local assay office is not disclosed,
but the machinery of that institution
has baen taxed to its capacity recently,
reducing foreign bullion to requisite
tineness for the domestic market. Bars
valued at maoy millions of dollars have
[ beeu shipped from this city to the
i Philadelphia mint in the last few
! months to be made into coin.

•‘I have been made a Koight of Co

Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty,
who dubbed him knight, also cabled
Madame Foch: '‘Marshal Foch is now j
a Knighi of Columbus by special vote
of the K. of C. board ef directors.
America may kill your husband with
kindness, but we shall do our utmost to
preserve his. health.. He is the mill
iooth Knight of Columbus, and the
