"It is part of the probihition propa
ganda today to pretend that the
American people, through their own I
action, have brought about the exist
ing situation. Never there was a
greater falsehood. The American
people never have acted upon national
prohibition. They have never been
permitted to do so. Only one state
Ohio voted on this tremendous issue,
and there the verdict was against it."
AUTHORITIES TRY
TO STOP ATTACKS
ON NON-MOSLEMS
Constantinople, Feb. 25 Circulars
urging that attacks on non-Moslem
peoples be prevented have been sent
to the provincial authorities by the
Ottoman minister of the interior. He
bases his appeal on the ground that
such attacks "prejudice the good dis
position of the Dowers toward Tur
key." The circular is a result of a warn
ing from the IBritlsh hih commi-s- !
sioners who declared that failure of
the Turks to accord non-Moslem ele
ments adequate protection would load
to a modification of the supreme
council's most recent decision regard
ing Constantinople which would be
less favorable to the Turks.
