But the liquor problem is one that has never been solved, and it is not solved today. For instance, here are the divergent view points of wets and drys, summed up after two years of repeal : THE WETS SAY: Tha legal liquor business has created hundreds of thousands ot honest Jobs. Breweries alone claim 67,000 jobs in 675 brew eries, and 600.000 indirect jobs in distributing. In the '25.000 place now selling alcoholic drinks In the U. S.. In the 500 dis tilleries and 1000 wineries bow operating, many thousands ot Jobs have jjso been created. as ' Badly needed revenue for state and local governments has risen to well above 6600,000,000 In the two years. And yet the total amount being spent tor liquor la probably not much greater than was spent lor bootleg liquor during prohibition, with no ' tax return. - The bloody beer racket has been entirely eliminated. While liquor bootlegging has not yet been entirely scotched. It has been greatly reduced, both. In volume and profits. Steadily growing stocks of good llqnor, recently cut tariff from Canada, and de mands for lower liquor taxes will tend to lower prices and fur ther cot the bottom oat ot the bootleg trade. a a , v" Drinking has become decent and respectable, and hence more easily supervised In the open than In the hidden speakeasies of prohibition days. A market has been provided for milMong of bushels ot farm ers' grains and other products, while glass, lumber, and trans portation by train and truck show a definite stimulation. The hotel Industry lhas been saved from ruin, and the advertising In dustry has felt a pronounced pickup. see : The trend- to preference for beer Instead of hard liquor, mark ed before prohibition, has been resumed. Some 50,000,000 bar . rels of beer will have been made this year, far ahead of the 191S rate, though stiU well below 1914, the banner beer year. ... . Consumption of hard liquor Is running only 64 per cent of . the pre-prohibition peak, judged from figures' on withdrawals ot legal liquor from distilleries and warehouses. This indicates a resumption of the trend to beer instead of hard liquor which was marked during the years lust before Drohihltlon: hnt rnpted when prohibition turned drinkers almost exclusively to "hard" liquor. Z " . THE DRYS SAYt '; . " Z; . .. ' ' Despite the tremendous legal output, bootlegging has not been suppressed. From 30 to 50 per cent of all liquor is still hoot legged. Every city knows it still has speakeasies. Counterfeiting of labels and bottles goes on. e a Chain saloons under brewery domination, advertising aimed at creating new drinkers and increasing drinking, revived politi cal influence of brewers and distillers all these evils of pre-prohibition days are returning, especially since the NRA codes were -outlawed last year. ! Seven cents of every consumer's dollar (an estimated 13.500, 000,000 a year) Is going for liquor or beer. Such a vast slice of ; the national income would bring greater social benefits if spent for almost anything else. s ' v Alcoholism deaths climbed to 3655 in 1934, last year for which figures are available, an increase of 258 over the previous year, indicating increased drinking. , : .'Vi ' Many people who never drank before have been persuaded to take it np, especially women, whose presence at bars and whose serving of liquor and beer at home is a distinct step backward. Gain of 14 per cent In number of feminine patients at a famous "cure" is cited. - a a 4. Drunken driving has Increased alarmingly.- and figures from many states and communities show it is increasing faster than are the number of cars on the road. Increasing mechanization of life makes any drinking of liquor an increasing menace. . a a ' The number of federal prisoners, even those sentenced on Uquor charges, lhas. not decreased, as claimed, despite the fact that 13,000 cases were quashed when repeal went into effect. Any local community or city can see that congestion In Its conrts has not been relieved, while a large Income from liquor fines has been sacrificed. e e 2 Signs of resurrection of a "whiskey trust" are again seen. Senator Clark estimates that 80 per cent of the liquor-distilling . business already has fallen into the bands ot nine concerns. And the government is still spending 33,000,000 a year in liquor law enforcement. There you have it. It proves, at any rate, that the liquor controversy can be expected to continue indefinite ly. Confining the question to Oregon, it can be said that the control system established' here, with, the state hand ling hard liquor, has proved far more successful than many expected. This state, in general, has done about what most people wanted when they favored the repeal of prohibition. It has struck a middle course, seeking to do away with the evils of prohibition and of a wide open liquor regime at the same time. The Oregon plan has been about as satisfactory as could be lioped. About the Bible Since the Bible was put Into the printed English, over 165 English and American painters have used biblical themes. Over 700 pictures are recorded. Bible themes too, have been used used for sculpture, both In older and In niorq recent times. . Several notable pictures hnre been made using the history of the making of the English Bible, e. g.' "Tyn dale Translating the Bible into English"; A Wycllf Bible read ing"; "Embarkinent of the Pil grims"; "T h e Covenanters". There are two modern -pictures by a German artist that seem to prove favorites among us.

Dec. 5. The hand that rules the cradle ot dip lomacy is the one that rocked George Peek out ot the New Deal. Nearly everyone suspected the long bony finger ot State Secre tary Hull were' somewhere lu the final oscillation. Kew except the trustees who sat In on the closed meetlugs ot the export-Import bank realised Just where, and how. Chairman of the hoard ot trus tees la Hull's crony, It. Walton Moore, the assistant secretary of slute. Hull, through Moore, con trolled the board of which Mr. Peek was supposed to be presi dent. They have exercised that control In all detnlla to see that Peek did little except to write critical reports aud make forlorn speeches. They performed all the (unctions ot foreign trading them selves. ' s AUTHORITY At the bank offices, wherever you turned for information con cerning Peek's expected resigna tion at the time It was kuown to be pending, the wise clerks direct ed you to see "Moore" not Mr. Moore, just "Moore". Peek's press relations office Itself would have nothing to do with the pub lication of the final announce ment. It also referred all Inquir ies significantly in the same direct ion To make the picture complete, the announcement was not even made by Mr. Peek or by the White House, to which he was supposed to be special foreign trade adviser, but by the same department ot state. a e e S1UX1FICAXOK Those close to Peek know he did not want to resign. He was interested In a theory ot foreign trade. He had 'nothing else to do, so he was bent on staying here in the face ot obviously In surmountable difficulties, to fight for his lost cause. An ordinary man would have resigned months ago, when it became apparent he was being pushed into a cubby hole. " " The passing of Peek, therefore. means only the official confirm ation "of his unofficial ousting, which occurred some time back. The angle that it represents the final retirement of the Baruch key men (Johnson, Peek and Mol ey) is somewhat stale. Only Prof. Moley of that group Is still in top standing, but this admin istration often permits Its ex- friends to quarrel with it without serious consequences. The only, oractical effect will be to' terrorise further the new dealers who differ with the re lentless Mr. Hull. His belt Is nearly full ot scalps and he is reaching for other important balr. It may be only a diplomatic move,, but : the British admiralty is quietly calling in its naval re serve officers from the merchant marina. Officers and engineers from the Canard and other British steamship lines hsve been ordered to report immediately to Ports mouth. It is the first time since the world war that any such call has been issued. The move lias caused far more concern among U.. S. diplomats than the more obvious ones which have gone before. They believe American . business men who might be affected by another war scare should proceed cautiously during the next ten days. e e a , COMPANY President Roosevelt mores fast, leaps far In single jumps. His hop from poverty to riches a few days back was one of his swiftest and longest. After visiting the. rural reset tlement project ot seventy families at Pine Mountain valley, Georgia, ha motored to' the estate, "Blue Springs", of Cason Callaway, big southern mill owner, to spend the night. A marine detail was sent over from Warm Springs to guard the place for that occasion. The only significant thing about ft ; apparently Is that no one thought it was sufficiently signifi cant to be mentoned.
