11. S. NAVY BILL URGED; KEEPS SEAJREEDOM Legion Commander M’Nutt Cites Nation’s Needs in N. Y. Speech. Bn Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Shall the United States or Great Britain be the master of this nation’s destiny? This was the keynote of an address delivered by Paul V. McNutt, National commander of the American Legion, at a luncheon of the Foreign Policy Association in the Hotel Astor here today. It is the question at issue in strengthening the United States navy, he said. “Frankly, it is a question of the 'freedom of the seas,” he explained. “It is a question of whether Great Britain will continue to dictate in time of ar where we shall trade and how we shall trade. Great Britain will attempt that dictation in any war with which she is connected. It has occurred in the past. It will occur again. Great Britain Dietaates “It caused the war of 1812. It occurred in the World War, and while the international blocade caused discussion between England and America, England searched our ships and maintained the blockade in her own way. The Germans, themselves, by interfering with the free navigation of other countries, brought this country into war with them. “(treat Britain will always dictate trade by sea in time of war so long as she maintains her supremacy as she has in the past. She has gained that supremacy since the World war by failing to keep the spirit of the Washington disarmament conference, and by out .aneuvering us in successive diploi _<itic moves. “The only answer to the failure of the Geneva conference in 1927 that Great Britain, or any other European power, will ever understand will be the strengthening of the United States navy. Then they will listen to an equal reduction. Don’t Intend to Fight “A United States navy equal ii\ strength to that of Great Britan does not mean that we intend to fight the British fleet. The pacifist says we do. The American Legion is opposed to that view. Nor does it mean that Great Britain intends to fight us. I believe that thought is far from the minds of either people. It is the thought that the pacifirst has dragged across the path since the President’s Armistice day speech, in which he declared it is imperative that our navy be increased at once by building more cruisers. It is significant that the President chose an American Legion celebration to make that statement. “We have a right to demand an equal position. The President has told us why. We have a long coast line. We have distant, outlying possessions. Our foreign commerce is unsurpassed in importance. Our foreign investments are unsurpassed in amount, both as to their value and the number of persons involved. All must be protected.”

GURUS READY 10 JUT SEAT Has Double Purpose in Resigning Now. Z?V/ Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Vicc-President-Elect Charles Curtis is preparing to resign his seat next week as senator from Kansas. His decision, however, may be upset if the senate fails to vote on the Kellogg peace treaty before Christmas. Senator Curtis is exerting every effort to have the Kellogg pact ratified before the senate adjourns next Friday for the Christmas holidays. It will be his farewell contribution to the Coolidge legislation program. Two reasons will prompt Senator Curtis’s retirement at this time, nearly three months in advance of his taking the oath of office as vicepresident. First, to take a long vacation, and second, to retire from the senate in time to have a friendly successor appointed. If Senator Curtis resigns before Jan. 14, it is understood that Governor Ben Paulen will appoint either David E. Mulvane, Republican national committeeman, or former Representative J. N. Tincher. Should the appointment be made later by Governor-Elect Clyde Reed the new governor, it is reported that either former Governor Henry Allen or William Allen White, the publisher, will be named. Curtis is not friendly politically with Allen and he is reported as indifferent to White. Soap and Talcum L Pure and fragrant HnJ Soothing l and Comforting Sold Everywhere. Soap 25c. Talcum 25c.

STATE AID SEEN AS VITAL IF DRY LAWSUCCEEDS Government Cannot Stem Tide Along, Congress at Last Admits. This is the fourth of a series of stories showing the staggering cost to the government if it actually bent every effort toward enforcement of the prohibition laws. BY JOHN M. GLEISSNER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—A growing conviction that state and local governments must assume a greater share in prohibition enforcement if the Volstead act is to be made effective is apparent among government officials and of congress. Experience has shown that the federal goverhment can do little more than check smuggling, cut off large sources of supply, and handle the big violations. It is impossible for federal agents to police the country and prevent the operating of speakeasies and the traffic of bootleggers. Dr. James M. Doran, chief of the prohibition unit, plainly stated this fact in testimony before the house appropriations committee, when he said an appropriation of $300,000,000 and a vast system of federal courts would be required if the government were to attempt police work. He cited conditions in New York, where there is no state enforcement act, and where co-operation of local authorities is limited. Persons arrested must be tried in already overcrowded federal courts. Aim of the government, Doran explained, was to break down the commercial traffic and cripple sources of supply. When agents work on small cases, he said, it

usually was with relation to the supply. Large areas of the country are without enforcement, it was charged in recent debate in Congress, because prohibition agents are concentrated in large cities. States and municipalities look to the federal government for enforcement, and the federal government lacks facilities, congressmen said. Doran recently was quoted as saying: “Unless there should be a drastic change in the feeling of congress, to throw the federal government into the business of virtually policing the country—and I firmly believe that change never will come—the scope of the authority of the federal government likely will remain somewhat -as it is today regarding enforcement of the prohibition law. “The development of the future I expect to come about through a more hearty and business-like cooperation with the feders’ government on the part of states, cities, and villages.” President Coolidge, in his recent

message called attention to the duty of the states. “Under terms of the Constitution, the obligation is equally on the states to exercise the power which they have through the executive, legislative and judicial branches of their government in behalf of enforcement. The federal government is doing and will continue to uo all it can rn this direction and is entitled to active co-operation of the states.” James E. Jones, who for seven years was chief administrative officer of the prohibition unit, and who resigned a year ago, believes the job of enforcement should be taken over completely by the states.
