licds Doniiscatc 4 Million Acres Di German Land

BY HENRY BUCKLE!’

BERLIN, Oct. ll — (Reuters) — An indication of the extent 0i R115- sla’; agriculture reform in its zone cf German occupation was given today when it was disclosed that by the end of October, 4,260,000 acres of land will have been con. fiscated without v BIJOXI- YD owners, most of whom are holders of extensive tracts of prvpert .

In place of the large larr droid. ers, said Edwin Hoern e, Sovietmp- pointed communist head of the central administration _for ‘cfirlcul. ture in the Soviet acne. 1 be peasant small holders. model farms, nurseries and breedin! centres.

He said the confiscation program was not merely a. question of agric- ultural reform but a blow at the root of German militarism’ and an effort to fced German 's p0 . uiation. I-fc declared: ' bl! farrns and largo estates were very badly run. Their owners made lit- tle effort but sat waiting for state subsidies."

All farms and estates of more than N0 acres will be affected. Hoemle said. 3nd it was expected that 300.000 re ugae families from cast of the River Oder would settle on the confiscated llmil.

With each farmer being given at least l: 1.2 acres of land there "still will not be enottfh land for those who want it." he said.

One difficulty of the was finding sufficient a cultural machine’: for the new fanners. To meet this, the administration is setting up "lending centres" in each area Mnrchlnery taken from ex- p limit. farms would be tra in the centres and 1c

Workable Temperance Measure Suggested By Guardian In '27 i

i

I !

In connection with the impasse over the carrying into effect of the recently published Proclamation on the widening of the Prohibition Act, due to the Medical Association deciding not to comply with the terms of the Proclamation, it may be of interest to recall that on Janu- ary 27, 1927. the C‘ lotletown Guardian received a delegation from the Temperance Alliance of that Day, headed by the latc Rev. G. C. Taylor. The delegation inquired la to the attitude likely to be adopt- ed by The Guardian in view of a movement then on foot to make ex- tensive alterations in the Act. The following is a. copy of the nicrnor anduin sent by The Guardian to the delegation at the laticfs request. It is quoted at this time as offering, with necessary modifications, a possible ' ' l0 the situation st this time:

Memorandum

re Delegation on Temperance

Dear Slrs:

As promised in yesterday's interview we now submit the out- line of what we suggested would be an effective Temperance measule‘ to combat the liquor ovll and to overcome the difficulties encountered! in the attempts to enforce the Prohibition Law. As you gentlemen slat-i ed, and with which we agreed, the doctors ‘scripts’ arc unsatisfactory, professionally, morally and socially; as lt is agreed that from 80 to 90 per cent of the medical prescriptions granted are not for medicinal but refreshment purposes. The beat of our medical doctors maintain and contend that it is professional derogation for them to be made the, channels through which the Government exercises control nf ihc liquor] traffic, and why should they be forced into a position which they feel degrading and ethically indefensible? The policy of the Guardian. as you know, has been to supper Prohibition, but in view of the develop. merits, we think it must be admitted that I‘. ‘lbitlon has failed to realise expectations. In conformity with our discussions, then, we submit our ideas regarding an Improved- Temperance Measure which we think might prove more workable, and at all events be free from the objcctiorrzil hypocrisy cf the doctor's scripts. so obnoxious to tho doctors and self-respecting ‘patients’ alike. We have hot. discussed this measure with the Government or with any member of it, but should you deslrc us, we shall have no objection to present the Premier with our views on the subject together with the outline herewith given:

I. In each district a justice of the peace or other duly authorized person of standing and responsibility be empowered to issue for one your permits. Including twelve monthly coupons, each coupon to be good for s specified quantity of liquor.

No permit shall be issued to anyone under- twenty-fivc years of age.

No coupon shall be good for any month other than that for which it is printed. " ‘

The permit shall bc duly numbered and signed in duplicate, by the party to whom it is granted, and the duplicate shall be sent to the vendor.

Each monthly coupon used ahsll be signed by the grantee, and it shall be the duty of the vendor in compare this signature with the original before fulfilling order.

Each bottle or container of liquor Issued shall have affixed- thereon the vendor's label with the official riumbcr of the' granteds permit. and the month to which it refers.

Permits shall not be transferable and shall be liable to be can- celled should it be proved to the satisfaction of the Prohibition OommI-nloti that "I! grantee has been guilty of drunkenness, neglect of wife and family. or has mm. n. habit and reputcl an idler or profllgsta person. l Tho Prohibition Commission ahsll be the sole and final court‘ of appeal in such matters, and tbs evidence on which they base their decision shall be confidential.

A registration fee. of say, two dollars, shall be payable for the yearly permit.

That qienaltlea for violations of the law or regulations shall be materially increased and enforcement strengthened and main- tallied.
