LIQUOR RULING IS HARD BLOW SAYSJASKER Daugherty Beat Moses as Lawmaker

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO. Oct. 21. Across s banquet board last night A. D. Lasker, chairman of the United States ship ping board told United States Attorney General Daugherty and the other banqueters that the attorney general's recent ruling that Hhips entering Amer ican waters must be "dry was the greatest blow that could have hap pened to the American merchant ma rine. ' "I can prove," eald Mr. Lasker, who epoke before the Audit Bureau of Circulation and its guests, "that Mr. Daugherty is the greatest law-maker of all times. Moses only made the Red Sea dry." Mr. Lasker said that while he opposed the saloon, he spoke neither as a "wet" or as a "dry" but from the etandpoiat of the shipping board. "I have seen in the press said Mr. Lasker, "statements that he made hfa decision to conform to polit ical expediency to aid the merchant marine bill." - - - Forelaners Protest "I never knew what the decision was until the President announced it As to the Attorney General who is such a good politician, if he felt he was helping American ships, he did it with out advising with me. I want foreign ships to come in as is their right, "wet Forty per cent of the passengers are foreigners, and will not subscribe to our views." "The principle profit of ships com ing to American shores is the emigrant traffic." he said. "The emigrant re-, gards wine and beer as much as food as they do bifad and -water, he as serted. He called attention to one re sult of the Daugerty ruling. "Th.e American ship. Resolute, was to make a Mediterranean cruise," he said, "and 300 reservations had been made. With in 72 hours after the decision 64 can oellations were received, including one that the head of a great New York bank, who was to pay $28,000 for his accommodations." Urges Ship . Subsidy The shipping board chairman said he entered the government services hoping to show that government own ershlp was posible, but added govern ment ownership is the poison ivy in tht garden of Industry. "Policy dictated by expediency of vote, with losses paid by the govern ment and no responsibility is a blight on the face of the people. It is hy pocrisy in government. I plead with you to help get America out of this morass. Amit-rica owns 1,500 steel

ships that cost millions. They are f operated by the government and private ownership is withering under it. Under the ship subsidy bill, we can end a' loss of $50,000,000 a year in 30

months Mr. Daugherty in his address touch ed only briefly on his dry" desislon "I know there is a great difference of opinion," he said, "as to the question of liquor used and carried on all ships I did nothave that question beforo me as attorney general. That has been passed on by the people and the supreme court. I was obliged to fol low the law. The question was a nak ed legal question." OHIO GOAL DEALERS PROTEST PRICE MARGIN

"said margins are unreasonable and 3 unfair in that they are unreasonably J low and not sufficient to cover cost of coal to the dealer plus his operating expenses with a just and reasonable sum for his profit in the transaction."

Financial- Burden "In 1920 freight rates on many of the more important farm crops were almost double what they were before the war. These increased rates not only imposed a grievous financial bur den, but in many cases narrowed the market for crops which were not worth enough to carry the freight rate to distant markets. At the same time the increased rates on the things the farmer had to buy added to his cost of living and the cost of production by Must that much. "The influence of the administration has been exerted in every proper way to bring about a reduction in freicht rates on farm crops, and number of important reductions have been secured. Rates are still altogeth er to high, however, with relation to the selling value of crops, and further substantial reductions must come in the near future. 6,000 Girl Scouts Open National Week (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 21.

LLOYD GEORGE BEGINS DRIVE TO GET VOTES Puts Public Welfare Above Parties

(By United Press.) ' LEEDS, England, Oct 2L "The banner of party strife has been hoisted at the Carlton club. The people must decide whether the party or the nation comes first I stand for the people." With these words, Lloyd George to day opened his campaign for restoration to the premiership In a speech delivered to a crowd of 3,000 here. The issue as the little Welchman presented it is as follows: Shall the nation be governed from the standpoint of party welfare or public welfare? He accused the conservatives of having decided in favor of party welfare when they broke away from the coalition et their meeting at the Carlton club. He announced himself as the cham pion of the people In a fight to restore a government which will look out for their Interests, ta preference to party interests. Enthusiastlo Cheer Introducing Lloyd George to the enthusiastic audience, Lord Airedale declared the Yorkshire Liberals will not forsake the man who "represents democracy and victory." The cheer that went up as Lloyd George stepped forward to sneak. shook the rafters. The coalition was broken Tip, Lloyd George charged because the conservative party was not getting enough out of it ' To Stand on Record "For the last six years, I have done the hardest work of my life, while criticism was pouring in," he said. "There has been no time to tell the people the real story." "I am willing now to put my record In the hands of the people." The premier declared he had done his utmost to serve his country In time of war and peace. He defended the peace' treaty. Versailles, he said, had become a charter of liberty for tens oX million of people. Lloyd George attached eompetIvs armaments. The. world democracies he said, would not continue to bear the burdens of armaments. Full of Old Fir. Lloyd George Is happy, eager and" full of his old fire. His eyes twick' d with glee as the shontine rmwrfa thronged around his railway carriage and pressed against police lines to cheer him as he rode through the streets. He semed to enjoy being on thv outside, looking in, for a change ant', displayed as much eners-v 9 In his younger campaign days. tii manner, as he addressed h crowds, was breezy and bantering. i uianic you ror coming out to greet one of the unemployed." he said to the assemb.'age at Bedford. At Wellingborough he said, T trust you will support me in fighting the battles for the great national interest, as against mere party again.' Wife At His Shoulder. He emphasized on every occasion that his object was to rescue Britain from its post war difficulties and that he was being hampered in this by the action of the Tories in putting love of party above love of country, splitting the coalition and forcing him to resign. Mrs. Lloyd George was at his shoulder whenever he appeared and cam in for her share of the cheers. Both Lloyd George and his wife realized that demonstrations of the past were for the prime-minister the head of the government whereas the ovations of the last 24 hours have been for "Good old Lloyd George" who for years mercilessly held the party power. Cheered by Receptions The Welch wizard is known to be tremendously encouraged by the rousing receptions he has been accorded. He believes he is gaining votes every hour for his battle with the Tories, upon whom he has declared war. - - "My sword is in my hand and thev shall feel its weight," he declared in one of his speeches from his railway carriage on the trip to Leeds. With the coalition broken up and Bonar Law endeavoring to form a conservative ministry, Lloyd George Is concentrating all his efforts on forming a strong, dangerous Georgian party which he expects to see enter the house of parliament after the next election. LONDON, Oct. 21.

This meeHmr 'will be followed according to the best information by announcement of the dissolution of parliament either Monday night or Tuesday. Expectation continues general that the polling will take place Nov. 18 and it is believed the reconstituted parliament can meet by Nov. 28.
