Washington, chairman ot tne
house committee on immigration,
has just returned from a visit! to
Hawaii, He i is loaded with ' pro
posed legislation to head off the
menace. There will be a lot heard
of this soon and perhaps long.
VOLSTEAD ACT COMPLICA
TIONS I
I
All legislation bound to be.
In a certain degree, experimental.
Problems are born of conditions in
the life of peoples, and when there
is a change In those conditions
problems arise that could not have
been anticipated while still under
the old order. r '
t When the Volstead act was
passed there 'was no discussion of
the effect the new law would have
on : fore'gn vessels touching at
American ports. ' So. very natur
ally, there was - no ' exception to
cover this contingency embodied
in the . law. Since the law has
been in -effect, however, the ques
tion of , liquor on - board foreign
vessels has received a great ; deal
of , attention; more, . perhaps, - in
Europe than in our own country.
i Under the - French federal law
the management of all ocean-going
vessels is required to serve
the crew with a portion of wine
each day as a part of their rations.
The captain - who fails to do this
violates the French law. The men
claim it as their right, whether
they are in port or whether the
vessel is actually at' sea. Under
such, conditions It Is inevitable'
that there should come protests
from the French government. The
captains are subject to arrest and
imprisonment In this country If
they obey the law and to a heavy
fine when the boat returns to a
French port If they have violated
it. .i " - .'
i There was no disposition on the
part of; the ' American . people.!
when congress favored the
eighteenth amendment and . the
legislatures of three-fourths of the
states ratified it, to interfere with
the right's and customs of peoples
outside our own territory. If the
French ships' cannot bring wine
Into American, ports they cannot
serve wine . to the crew on the
homeward voyage. This condition
was not foreseen, when the Vol
atead act was passed.' i '- v
Protests have also come from
the Brit!sh government; and the
reeling is so strong la England
that a bill was introduced in par
liament, and strongly supported.
providing that no vessel which did
not carry a supply) of liquor on
board, "sufficient" for the health
and convenience of the crew and
passengers," should he permitted
to land at a British port.
I : on . representations from the
British government that it would
lead to complications with the
American government the bill was
laid on, the table; but it was only
on representations that a confer
ence was under way that might
result in a modification of - the
American regulations.'
r ow comes tne announcement
from Washington that the admin
istration is considering the nego
tiation of treaties which will have
fhe-effeet: of amending the Vol
wead act.. on..: coditlon -that the
cither powers will consent,, that the
neutral zone of the high seas shall
be i outside a ; twelve-mile limit.
The present" limit Is three miles. -
'If such treaties were to be ne
gotiated it is very doubtful
whether they could pass the sen-
atej where "a two-thirds majority
is necessary for ratification. The
right of the federal government
to make treaties that violate acts
of congress has never been passed
upon by the supreme court. There
is a difference of opinion among
constitutional lawers as to
whether congress can thus be ig
nored. . While the consent of the
senate is necessary for such trea
ties, they would deprive the lower
house of congress of a power that
has never before been challenged.
Much more satisfactory would
be a modification of the Volstead
act that would make such treaties
unnecessary. . ... . : v. ;
The Volstead act. as welt as ev-
ery other statute, whether federal,
state or municipal, should be en
forcteoT as It Is written. But this Is
nt lo ay that a law. once
adopted, should never be amended.
That would be like the laws of
the Medes and Persians. In pass
ing on the validity of the Volstead
acf the supreme court considered
It as it stands, not as It might have
been, j it ie not in th power of
the. supreme court to amend' fed

wl to carry liquor, even, for the

THE CALL OF THE WILD
We smile because a dog turns
round and , round before lying
down, forgetting that the past also
holds a mortgage upon us. Though
the grasses, which the dog's for
bears had to trample into ' a , bed,
have long been gone, the domesti
cated descendants must still - go
through the old bejd-malcingv mo
tions;; just as annually, for ex-
Laraple, with the coming of warm
weather, we must shut up shop
and go outing In the wilds." The
reindeer herds no longer: range
down with the spring, so we can
not follow them back and forth,
but we can break away from busi
ness, put civilization ; behind us
and imagrhe ourselves in the an
cestral state. - So strong does the
seasonal spell stir within us that,
almost as a matter of right, we
demand our vacations. To nomad-land
we. go for "res," but who
rests -away a vacation? We strip
lor action before starting. Then,
around camp fires, who grumbles
because the meat has been burned?
It tastes all . the better for the
burning. . Big tales are fold, fish
ing tales, bunting tales, love' tales
and tales of adventure, but never
one word about business; Truth
doesn't matter, much, .for the
wildest; tales sound, true -until

tral call to the wilds.
BOOTLEGGER'S BILL
i ' ( Los Angeles Times. )
The most .unique .claim ever
filed before , the state wage ad
justers has just come to light in
San. Jose, where a bootlegger's a
sfetant has turned his bill for ser
ices rendered over to the state
officers for collection. From thi
we get some Interesting Inside, in
formation regarding the profes
sion, occupation or activity, what
ever the proper designation may
be, of bootlegging..
The high price of Illicit liquors
appears to be somewhat justified
when you consider -the fancy
wages demanded - by assistants.
For this same: Pasquale: Francis
chelli, who invokes the majesty of
the " law; to collect . his righteous
dues earned in constructing a brew
Intended to defeat a national law,
fir
n
1 in
demands the tidy sum of $490 for
two months operation of sr still.
In addition, it appears thathe was
arrested during the course of his
nefarious activities and he wishes
the law to aid him In collecting
from his former, employer wages
of $10 a day while he languished
in durance vile. -
George Moody, deputy wage
claim adjuster, is reported to be
spraining . his Z brain over ! the
knotty problem Intplved. The
law says clearly that an employer
must pay for services rendered.
But 1 a man entitled to the assis
tance pf the state In collecting his
money when he has been assisting
another . in an Illegal business?
The wage adjuster thinks so and
has haled the lord high bootlegger
before him' to answer to the claim.
To the casual observer It would
seem that the mercenary Pasquale
did not have a leg to stand on and
that the only thing he should gar
ner as a result of his two months'
toil should be a little bitter expe
rience and a determination to turn
his mind toward lawful means of
earning a livelihood. If Pas
quale is successful in hist suit
soorf we shall have counterfeiters'
assistants filing wage claims for
services rendered and demanding
bonuses for time spent in JaiL
strife: OF SCIENTISTS
One of our esteemed scientists
intimates that Prof. ; Einstein , is
not all original with his famous
but complicated; theory of relativ
ity. He insists that the professor
has lifted his conclusions from the
work of 1 others. He has .taken
from derber.fPailagyi; "Ziegler and
other scientists without giving the
usual credit for the Inspiration.'
Dr. Arvid Reuterdahl states ; that
Prof. iVon Soldner. who . died in
1833,, gave the formula of 0.84 of
a second as the valuof the! jde
f lection of. light. $ This- was tack
In 1801. In 1911 'Einstein; An
nounced the same theorem with a
formula of 0.83. This was I vir
tually the same conclusion. , Dr.
Reuterdahl hints that if will not
be necessary to. cart the bust of
Sir Isaac Newton off to the Junk
pile to make room for Einstein.
When the professors get to fight
ing among themselves whether a
ray of light which started from
the star Betelguese 30,p00 1 years
go can be caught in a barb-wire
ousetrap and bent into the shape
f a hairpin if is time for the rest
of us to call in the cops.
