(P]S from conspiring to violate Ameri can lavs might be secured. . There is a feeling in official circles here that the British government has lately been disposed to view .with much more favor the overtures of. the-United States government for-a-better, under standing -with respect'td ' th6'suppres sion of runt running. The principle Involved is an Important, .one . for . if fi-reat Britain were indifferent -to. .a conspiracy to violate American laws there might be a reciprocity indiffer ence exhibited in some future cases in7 voh'ing the Eame general Idea but of much more serious import- -to ■ the British empire. Diplomats-In-the Bri tish parliaments within the last weeks have Indicated a belief on'the part of some of the members there that' an American sentiment against Gr.eat Bri tain might be built up,If rum’running was countenanced by -the Br'Ush through improper clearance papers'ahd' similar devices. Whetner. this is.a.cor-. red view of American sentiment is be side the subject, for if-President-Hard ing Insists to the British' 'government that better co-operation be practiced he Is very likely -to have his way. What the British want -really. i* to -so» shether the United Stafe government is itself in earnest.' The ' ordering' of the navy into tfeepatr'qf business is one step which is feeing urged by prohibi tionists because-thev bdlleve it will be evidence of the good faith Of the Fed eral government.. ... / According to. the *rohifeition enforce ment pfficers herejfunt running hasyde ciined materially in the yast ; few months -chiefly because of the disputes among the rum. runfters themselves, the/growth of piracy ,aniohg the- ad venturous .'skippers of rum' funning vessels -and the huge cost of arranging for the Shipment ashore % liquor from the larger to the smaller vessels. The wireless is the principal medium of communication but-the government is exercising not only a close watch on the radio apparatus of the rum runners but is keeping an eye on the small craft. It is admitted, however, that the rum runners have had much the better of it in evading the government patfol especially in Florida wafers, but the use of the navy is expected tp change that aspect materially. 'A.11 the submarine ychaaers 1 an'd light .craft which hav.e been idle since the war may he' manned by the' navy and sent on the enforcement patrol. The ad ministration, has been hard pushed by the "drys" to take this drastic step and the drift today is toward complete and effective use of the sea forces of the government to uphold the Volstead adt. JTEW ORLEANS COTTON NEW' ORLEANS, April 22.—^Lower prices .were the rule in the cotton mar ket last week, especially after the middle of the week'and following the federal government’s injunction suit against the New York sugar exchange. Lowest prices came on the closing ses sion when the. trading, months were 147 to 179 points under the final prices <jf the preceding , week. The close showed net losses of 120 to 140 points. At.the highest the trading months were 40 points higher to 6 points lower and the close of the preceding week. May traded as high as 28.20 cents a P9undj as Jow as 26.18. and closed at 26.56.. The market fluctuated over a range of 12.46 to 202 points. In the spot department prices lost 138 points oh' middling which closed at 27.26 against "16.88 on the close of this week last .year. The most powerful influence wafe the injunction suit against the sugar mar ket, which prompted the fear that the goyerrnment rhight take unfavorable actipn against cotton should bullish operations In May .and July be carried beyond certain limits. Because of this the extremely bullish statistics of the week had no effect on values. The visible supply of American cotton lost almost' 100,000 bales during""the week and, for the first time'ln the memory of most brokers and traders, was. re duced to smaller proportions than the visible supply of othet^ growths of cot ton. the figures being 10,837,084 bales Of' American against 1,868,426 bales of other growths. * . .During the greater part of the week t,he weather was unfavorable but had no great effect In supporting values in the early sessions and none at all later. Too much rain fell in practi cally ^1 states ‘of the belt and tem peratures nearly, everywhere were, too low,. Planting was delayed and at the end of the week the crop, as a whole, wusigenerally described as being late. The ‘ government report on intended cotton acreage this season, indicating an increase ^2 percent- over the acreage ofy last season, caused.-a great deal or1 selling. At the opening this week first prices probably will, be governed SOCIETY , OMINOUS WORDS There’s a proEpect most alluring In the thought of motor-touring ^ i And of; gypsying the highways far aVay from our abodes, , , Till amid our contemplation, - We receive the information— ’’Heaven help us, they’ve, been working on the roads!” | We can navigate the washes j Where the water whirls and sloshes, WS can chug through dismal marshes full of snakes and frogs and toads; But we raise ra doleful chorus When this terror Is before us.

Hoover Sees Hope For Russian Peasantry As Famine Fades .4"*:-" ‘ V'' _ . *-■ \ ' Analyzing the situation in Russia,. ^ a recent letter to 0. V. Hibbard, ‘ttodate general secretary of the : C. A., Herbert Hoover, chair* mfn of the American Relief ’ Ad-, •siniatration, said that “fundamental fecovc-ry is taking place (in Russia)' it will be slow and paiW : A' without help from the outside , world." He pointed out that “the economic retreat’ from communism taken two year's age has re- ; •ulted in an impulse to recovery ip ?ertain directions. It has restored a fwge measure of individualism .and. •. mitiHtive In agriculture, small'trades ant- small industries. The agricul uoeuktion, (aygr e^asLjgfiHt.. ?f the whole) in some measure shows & hopeful air of improvement be ;au*eof the division of the old land lord lands, the establishment of lim ited right of inheritance, the fixation of taxation with a gradated pe*r sentage in kind; and the freedom to market any surplus, h»ve all in some ___- nr nuirv self inter Mr, Hoover saw mas our relief problems to be faced, fam ne, disease, poverty and recon rtruction. Famine, he said, had to 5e relieved last year by food shlp nents from Ameriea which was acr -omplished through tho mobilization if some $70,000,000 by the American ielief Administration and co^opex tting bodies., 1 £000,000 people, In addition M which other foreign organisation! supported about 1,000,060. _ / • "Reconstruction,” he said, “is hope less until eoonomic fundamentals are altered and large capital flow* iptc Russia.” ' , .... “In the agricultural population the problem is not so hopeless," Mr. Hoover said, “for the needs are less in volume, the impulse to produce Is largely restored and it does offer a field toward which charity can well direct itself with hopes or construe-: tive results.
