LEADED OF REVOLT
MADRID. Jan. 21 (Tuesday)
(AP) Minister of Interior Ca-

tremist movement to establish a
proletarian dictatorship in 8 pain
was promoted by Leon Trotxky,
former soviet leader, who is in ex
ile from Russia at Istanbul, Tur
key.
"This movement is not the big
one, be said. "That is planned
for February, but the government
Is fully prepared to swamp it with
stiff measures."
His statement was made as the
movement appeared to have col
lapsed under the government's
policy of stern repression, al
though serious labor strikes con
tinued at Malaga, Seville and Va
lencia. Scott McBride, Anti-Saloon league
leader, began buying stock in
companies that sold fruit Juices.
How the people change when the
almighty dollar shines at us. . . .
The sooner righteous people enter
into polities, the sooner we can
save the nation."
Maintaining that "we stand at
the parting ot the ways of this na
tion," Mrs. Weber asked, "Why
are we afraid to submit to Ameri
can people this question T I do not
think if we repeal the Volstead
act, we will have a saloon on ev

"I dont remember any time in
my Ufa when there was as much
lewd drinking among young peo
ple as no w prohibition has fost
ered greater eontempt tor law
than any other measure. It has
broken down the morale ot the
United 8tates more than any oth
er catastrophe that baa happen
ed." Mrs. Weber went on.
"What we need," sb declared,
is a campaign to foster self-control.
We should teach people the
exact effect of alcohol on the sys
tem. . i, . We should bare liquor
