Hafail of the Leningrad Society of Government Publications, Mich is a division of the Union of Government Book and Jour nal Publications of the Soviet States of Russia, has been solicit: ed by the Daily Tar Heel for the purpose of presenting the read ers of this publicaVon the atti tude of Russia, which has been said to be aiming at a restricted use of alcohol and its eventual prohibition. : 1 Seven pamphlets forwarded' to the Daily Tar Heel reveal the fact that Russia looks upon the problem as being an economic one in which the efficiency of workers must not be interf erred with by drinking, rather than a moral one. These studies done in New Russian cover the fol lowing subjects: "Alcoholism and Youth," by Dr. B. C. Sigal; "Alcoholism and the-Productivity of Tabor" bv B. F. Dietrich- sen ; "Popular Delusions and the Scientific Truth Concerning Al coholism," by Nicholas Tyapug en; "The Collectivized Farmer and Alcoholism," "Alcoholism and the Productivity of Labor and "Against Drunkenness .on Fishing Boats and Rafts," all by B. F. Dietrichsen; "What Youth Must Know About Alcohol," and fiNew Arguments Concerning Alcoholism." In the oninion attempts at temperance must fail in capitalistic orders, ana in tne letter Deiow ne sywma considerable time in a eulogy of the Russian system to the neg lect of , the Daily Tar Heel ques tion which was, "To what extent is Russia working toward liquor control and prohibition of liquor consumption?"

Clement Strudwick of Hillsr bo.ro, the artist who painted the portrait, expressed his grati tude for his having been chosen to do the painting, and W.

Until Wednesday, the por trait had been hanging at the north end of the lounge room because of the fact that when it was placed: in the position on ithe west side in which it was planned for it to be hung, the light from the windows spoiled its annearance.

In the years of 1928 . and 1929, the last two years for which sta tistics are available, a report shows that two municipalities in the province of Quebec have voted i a .law j which prohibits li quor traffic, as opposed to twenty-nine which have repealed reg ulations of this nature By the repeal of this ; measure, the twenty-nine municipalities put themselves under the Quebec law for government distribution, of whisky. The law has been in force since 1920 in the province' of Quebec, and affects for the most part the large cities of Quebec and Montreal in particular; It provides for a liquor commission which is to order wines from the countrv of production,1 appoints airents to distribute and retail the beverages, punishes offend ers, and in general, administers the law. - ' - ' The sale of beverages is not permitted on holidays at all, and on other days, it is allowed only from 9 :00 o'clock in the morning till 11 :00 o'clock at night. It is a queer insight into the dis tinctly French atmosphere of Canada that among the holidays named, we find the days of the Annunciation, the - Epiphany, Ash Wednesday, and other reli gious occasions. The liquor stores are also closed on election days. -" - Most of this vintage is im ported from France, in fact about three fourths of the entire value comes from that country. Cheaper wines come from Spain and Portugal, but the more ex pensive varieties come from France;-and the wines are so good that they are fast; leaving liquor, Scotch and so forth, far behind as the beverage of the hour. . j , . When the laws were first passed, there was a marked de cline in the number of arrests for drunkenness. To wit, in the city of Montreal, the number of arrests' per month' averaged in 1920, 634, while for the next three' years, the average was on ly 383, and the three after that, it dropped still further to 340. That is an average of only about ten a day in a city: of such a large population. Of the cases arrested, approximately; one third have been : foreigners that is Americans who have toured over for a grand tear and found it. ' :' ; " - ' This small amount of public drunkenness is due to the fact that "only one pint of whisky can be sold to a person at a time. There is - another provision in the law making it very conducive to soberness ; this is that, a per son who has been apprehended for overindulgence is banned by the Liquor Commission from further purchases of whisky. For nine years now, and near ly completing, its tenth, the gov ernment dispensary of Quebec has maintained for itself a repu tation for efficiency of which has been seldom equaled and only once, surpassed. That one time was the instance of Mohammed's command to his followers and had the advantage of holding religious weight. ! i
