CAIRO. Monday. (Special cable.)
Reports of Great Britain's unwilling
ness to act as manaatorr tor Syria
liavo served to arouse both Armenians
and Syrians there to undertake a vigor
ous campaign in favor of the United
Mates as the mandatory power. The
bua their activity in connection with
this propaganda on the league of na
tions covenant as It was ararieu. ini
-the wi.xhei or these communities must
be the principal consideration in the
selection of the mandatory."
The Syrians assert they have the
right to demand that the United States
be the mandatory and that me i niiea
States has no right to refuse their de
mand. They add that such rerusal would
be tantamount to the suppression of re
ligious liberty In Syria. They advance
the argument that England favors the
Moslems and that Franca favors the
Catholics, while the United Slates plays
no favorites.
Flaaacra Are Considered.
At the same time the Syrians are
making much of America's finarcial
ability. They assert that Franco her
self needs financial assistance and.
therefore. ould be unablo to finance
Syrian reconstruction, while, on the
ohtcr hand, the United States would be
able and willing to do that which was
necessary to put Syria on her feet and
make her .- prosperous and happy na
tion. The American university at B- i ut.
where many of the present-day Syrian
leaders are educated, is an important
factor in this campaign, the entire
a.-poi-t of which is most Interesting.
Reports to the effect that the I'nited
States favors the creation of a Zionist
i-tate in Palestine are causing much
comment throughout the near east. It
is not impossible that acute terrorism
may grow out of them, for already
ther- are signs of violence, since the
Syrians bitterly resent Zionist ambi
tions and insist on an undivided Egypt
They declare the Jews represent only
10 per cent, or even less, of the popu
lation, but. notwithstanding this, are
making arrogant claims and threaten
ing to seise the land, as though the
present holders of it and the existing
population of the country were non
existent. Armed Resistance Threatened.
Both Christians and Moslems unite
In pressing their rights with regard to
self-determination as Syrians accorded
by the league of nations. Briefly, they
refuse to be dislodged from the land
which they have occupied for many
thousands of years. They threaten
armed resistance to any attempt to
erect a Jewish state In Southern Syria.
In this connection is may be said that
the legitimate development of Zionism
Is be in;im periled' by reports reaching
the near east from America and Great
Britain with regard to Jewish claims.
Various elements in Syria ask for
American control of the entire land.
This alio is true of Armenia.
Indeed. Armenian Catholics of Cilicia
have come to Cairo to ask the Herald
to express to the American people the
desire of the Armenians that the
United States become their mandatory.

"THROUGH" IS HOT "INTO"
SUPREME COURT INTERPRETS
REED AMENDMENT.
Shipping of Liquor Across Dry state
Held to Bo Mere Incident of
Interstate Commerce.
WASHINGTON". April 14. Transpor
tation of intoxicating liquors for'bev
erage purposes through a dry state is
not prohibltea under the Reed prohibi
tion amendment, the supreme court
held today in an order interpreting
the act- .
The court in an unanimous opinion
rendered by Chief Justice White held
that there was no ground for "holding
that the prohibition of the statute
against transporting liquor in inter
state commerce 'to any state or terri
tory the laws of which prohibit the
manufacture, etc., includes the move
ment in interstate commerce through
such a state Into another."
"N'o elucidation of the text." said the
chief justice, "is needed to add cogency
to this plain meaning which would,
however, be reinforced by the context
if there were need to resort to it, since
the context makes clear that the word
'into' as used in the statute referred
to the state of destination and not to
the means by which that end is
reached, the . movement through one
state la a mere incident of transporta
tion to the state into which it is
shipped. '
"The suggestion made in arguments
that although the personal carriage of
liquor through one state as a means of
carrying it beyond into another state
violated the statute, it does not neces
sarily follow that transportation by
common carrier through a state for a
like purpose would be such violation,
because of the more facile opportunity
in the one case than in the other for
violating the law of the state through
which the liquor is carried. Is without
merit. In the last analysis it but in
vites, not a construction of the statute
as enacted, but an enactment by con
struction of a new and different
statute."

In this time "no beer, wine or other

The distinction between this act and
other war-time liquor restrictions, as
explained today by officials, is that it
relates to the sale of liquor, whereas
the others related to manufacture.
Consequently it was explained that the
revenue bureau will not have power to
lake action against illicit sale, but will
retain its present powers to prevent
illegal production of liquor.

people of the United States, but is
composed largely of third-class law
yers, and urged laboring people to
take more interest in elections and
send representatives to congress and
the legislature who will better repre
sent their cause.
Mr. Short paid his respects to Brigadier-General
Brice P. Disque and

working for the interests of the mill
owners and against those of the em
ployes. He urged the timber workers

HUNS WANT FULL FREEDOM
ALLIED ECONOMIC PROPOSALS
ARE HELD UNSATISFACTORY.
Requirements, It Is Said, Would
Paralyze Industry-Wilson's
'Fonrtecn Points Cited.
(Copyria-nt by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
PARIS. April 14. (Special cable.)
Germany, urging her right to economic
self-determination in a memorandum
submitted at the Spa conference, cites
President Wilson's 14 points as the
reason for hesitation in accepting the
system proposed by the allied powers.
The official protest declares that the
proposal cannot be reconciled with the
interests of German Industrial life and
therefore with the real interests of the
allies. The proposed changes in the
blacklist system. It is declared, do not
better present conditions, so far as Ger
man economists can see.
It is insisted that economic freedom
must be given to Germany for the rea
son that, already weakened by war and
with a serious lack of raw materials,
allied requirements will paralyze in
dustry and that even those who have
remained at work will lose hope of
revival of economic prosperity and will
not exert themselves to resist increas
ing pressure and German industry will
decline even further.
It is complained that the armistice
has already exceeded all expectations
in length and that such an agreement
as is proposed should, not be entered
into as this armistice is finally draw
ing to a close.
