Red Cross Chief
Speaks Plainly on
Southern Relief
John B. Payne Savs Florida Scene of
Humanitarian Efforts and Sel
fish Business Interests.
Washington, Oct. 4. Re-emphas
izing that Florida's storm sufferere
are in greater need "than the inter
csts there would have us believe,"
John Barton Payne, chairman of the
American Red Cross, told the annual
convention of that organization today
that the time had' come for decisive
actio against the propaganda actlvi
ties of "officials and special interests.
Laying aside his prepared address,
in which he declared that existence
of the Red Cross again had been justi
fied bv the "dreadful disaster" to
Florida, Mr. Payne asserted there was
going cn in that state a "conflict be
tween businea interests." The time
has come he said, when "we must con
sider Ferlously whether it is too late
to renew our campaign for the relief
for the poor and stricken in the storm
area.
Tho first intimation he had about
"what was going on," the chairman
said, was when tho chairman of the
Chicago chapter "called me on the
teVohone and read me the message
Governor Martin had sent to th mayor
of Chicago, thanking him for offers
and aid and assuring the mayor that
he, the governor, would let him know
If further assistance wns necessary
"At first." Mr. Payne asserted, "I
could scarcely believe that a governor
would make such a statement right
at the height of a campaign to raise
money for the poor people of his state
"I suppose," he continued, "that
the desire of a group to protect its
buriness Interests is a natural weak-
nesc. It is time, however, for the
American Red Cross to speak out
he said, and the American people
should be "ready to go forward and
provide adequate relief for the many
.people in Florida, who are in dire
need of it."
Contributions to the Florida relief
fund total $3,118,000 to date. A fund
of $5,000,000 is sought.
TO SHOW CORN BORERS
Detroit, Mich. Oct. 3. The much
discussed but seldom-seen corn borer
may bo observed in his'nefarious bor
ing in a special exhibit at the Na
tional Dairy exposition here October
6-1 3. This is the first time it has been
possible to reveal to the public on a
large scale the borers actually at
work.
R. H. Pettlt of the entomology de
partment of Michigan State college
which is putting on the display, said
today that thi3 is the time of year
when the borer is moving down In the
cornstalks, making ready for his win
ter home.
The exhibit will have a direct ap
peal to exposition visitors from the
corn belt, who have viewed with ap
prehension the steady, unchanged
movement of the borer westward.
NOTED DISTILLER A DRY;
A DRINK HAKES HIM ILL
London, Oct. 1. Visitors to a Lon
don restaurant found a middle-aged
man lunching alone and sipping with
droll solemnity and two straps a
very soft ginger-beer. He was Lord
Dewar, managing director of the not
ed firm of distillers which bears his
name.
"Do you always drink that?" he
was asked.
"Usually," he replied. "You know

Says Every
Human Being Has
Broken Laws
Senator Reed Believes So Many Laws
Have Been nacted that Every
one Has Broken One or More
Omaha, Oct. 4. So many laws
j have been enacted in the United
States that it is probable that every
human being in the nation more than
ten years old has violated some stat
ute or law," Senator James Reed of
Missouri, declared in an address here
tonight for a "return to the old faith
of nationalism."
"We have stretched the constitu
tion of the United States to the
breaking point," Senator Reed, who
is here in behalf of the congressional
candidacy of Grenville I. North,
democrat, second district, said. "We
have evaded its plain terms and pro
visions by various subterfuges and
practices. We have created in Wash
ington a vast machine employing
600,000 people engaged in every line
of human activity, from secretly spy
ing upon citizens to tho judicial con
struction of the laws of our land.
"We have written upon the stat
ute books of this country over 600,
000 laws and the federal govern
ment has in excess of 10,000. We
have established bureaus to regulate
maternity, foods and drink. We have
forbidden so many things that it is
probable that not a single human be
ing" In the United States over ten
years has not violated some statute
law."
Should Reflect Patriotism.
The Missouri senator declared that
the great need of the United States
is an American congress and an
American president, who reflect the
patriotism and the love of country
which burns in the hearts of the
great people of our land.
He advocated rejection of tho
policy of internationalism in favor of
nationalism; favored some middle
course, whereby the prohibition law
might not make so many law violat
ors out of millions of good citizens;
condemned the administration for
wilful failure to recognize the needs
of the west in river navigation and
declared that the United States is
nearly $200,000,000 a year loser by
proposed debt settlements with Eng
land, France and Italy alone.
"If President Coolidge will but
say the word, the present congress
tas past congresses would) will ap
propriate enough mcney speedily to
solve the river navigation problem,"
b'enater Reed said.
"Eut in every instance the presi
dent and his advisors have refused
to yield, except when forced to do
so by a threatened revolt of con
gress. "The trouble in that the mind of
the president is centered more upon
the prosperity of New England man
ufacturers than upon the welfare of
the farmers of this great central
west."
"Ignorance Stalks Land."
"Ignorance, staiks thru the land."
he said. "Education i3 grossly lack
ing. Banks are failing by the hun
dreds. Farmers are in distress. Forty
milliou agriculturists are compel'.c 1
to sell their products on the l-".el
of European prices, forced by law
to take prices fixed by trusts and
combines, which operate backed by
a tariff act asked for the expressed
purpose cf enabling thorn lo charge
high prices to the American consum
er." Senator Reed did not advocate
opening the flood gates to admit
liquor to the country, but he said
that "somewhere between the ex
tremists, who seek to force prohibi
tion on the people by statute and
by ever Increasing penalties, and the
other individuals who would flood
the ra.iir.-n with intoxicants, there
must fco a sane middle ground. The
manufacture rnd sale of intoxicants
must be strictly regulated and pos
sibly conducted as it Is In Canada,
by the government Itself."
"The proM'ntion law has been up
on the statute becks for about seven
years," the senator said. "It's direct
cost of enforcement has been In ex
cess of $120,000,000. The loss of
possible revenue runs into the thou
sands of millions of dollars and yet,
according to the testimony of the
prohibition director, while there were
less than 600 licensed stills In the
country prior to prohibition and the
number of illicit stills was incon
sequential, his department seized 72.
600 illicit stills in one year and prob
ably has not captured one of ten."
MELLON IS CAUTIOUS
Vashingten, . Oct. 4. Editors of
trade papers called on Secretary
Mellon today, received an optimistic
picture of business condition in the
country, and were told it is too early
to figure on tax reduction.
With a prospective revenue well.
over the original estimates in sight,
the secretary said that more than
200 million dollars of this year's
prospective surplus will be composed
of receipts which will not recur next
year, such as back taxes, repayments
by railroads nndreturn to the treas
ury of funds spent in federal fajm.l
loan bonds. !
As a result the government, fca.'
added, would have only a comfortable
margin next year unless business
conditions improve materially, which
he does not count on.

JAPAN F0UETH IN U. S. TRADE
Wnehingtcn, Oct. ?,. An encourag
ing factor in t'-io far enit, ad it re-ads
toward a very important section of
America's foreign trndi conies from
Ccnmiercip.1 Attache C. E. Herring,
et ToVtio, who lias informed Secretary
of Commerce Hoover cf a more op
timistic view of business conditions
in Japan.
The island kingdom stocd fourth in
the Mat of America's customers dur
ing the year ending July 1, with a to
tal buying cf about ?50,000,000
and any progress noted in that coun
try will mean, in all probability, dol
lars and cents in the pockets of ex
porters in the United States.
Herring said that the favorable
viewpoint of the Japanese commercial
situation conies as a result of contin
ued excellent crop conditions. He
added:
"The continued advance in ex
change, however, is adversely affect-1
ing exports, particularly raw silk and I
cot ton vans. On the other hand, a few
lines of import marchandise which;
were unsalable at low exchange arc;
new being marketed."
! MAUN A LOA RISING
! S0DILY INTO AIR
Honolulu, Oct. 3. The great foor
of Kilaue crater and much of the
mountain side of Manna Loa in the
vicinity of the colaro is rising bod
ily into the air, according to scien
tists taking observations at the plnce,
and this evidence of tremendous
pressure in the mountain points to
another eruption.
These men are convinced that
Kilauea will erupt "sooner or later."
but they decline to hazard a guess
as to the approximate time this will
occur. Very decided tilting of the
crater floor during the month of July
indicated that an eruption mif ht oc
cur this summer, but this tilting sub
sided temporarily and has only late
ly begun again.
