LONDON. Nov. 18.-——Until Premier
Poincare has officially advised the
British government regarding the de—
wls of his proposed new reparation
inquiry Great Britain will withhold
formal expression of its attitude.
As the suggested committee of ex-

erate on an even narrower basis than
that suggested by England or the
United States, it is stated that the
government will decline to join in
it. especially as there is no indica-
tion that Premier Poincare intends

"The alumnus is the principal

Mr. Ben] said. "He brings liquor to

grcssionable young student always
looks upon the alumnus as a sort of

cepts the invitation of "old grad" to

Great Britain. like the United

that in keeping with the tenets of

Failed ‘to Use En-
forcement Power
HARRISBURG. PI... Nov. 18.-—If
the Federal Administration has been
using its prohibition enforcement
powers as completely as .ae Penn-
sylvania,State administration has
been using its powers "the eulorce-,
. meat question would be troubling no
one either in Harrisburg or Wash-
- .ington," Gov. Pinchot of Republican
Women yesterday.
The Governor cited three
“the
: principal promises" in his campaign
platformtv—o "drive all saloons out
of the State and to prevent and
“punish bootlegging." to keep the ex-
penses of the State within its in-
come and to reorganise the State
government and "get a dailar‘s
worth-of service for every dollar
spent."
Gov. Pinchot said that in fulfill-
ment of the first pledge the Legisla-
ture. "under pressure from the ad‘
ministration. passed a. law ‘ hich
outlawed the saloon in Pcnnsylv -
nia."
"Under preture from the brew-
.ing distilling and bootlegging inter-
ests." he added: “it later refused to
pass two laws rfor which the Ad-
ministration asked. one to give con-
trol of breweries. the ~other to give
control of distilleries. If hose two
laws had been enacted our present
dependence upon national enforce-
ment of the Volstead law would not
exist nor would the present flood of
liquor be debauchlng those 1: our
people whom it does not weaudsliao.
“It is well within the truth to say
that no State Administration in Am-
erica is now making or has ever
made as hard 3. fight for law en—
forcement as ours is making today!”
He said the running of the State
Government would cost for the cur-
rent two years but three-quarters of
the cost of the previous two years.
He added: "So far as I am aware.
no such reduction in expenditure has
ever been made in any American
State.”
"There are no more Stats em-
ployees in any department rode: the
Governor who are doing no work for
the play they are drawing." as add-
ed. “and the political soft snap has
vanished."

of two cents a gallon by the Standard
qil company of Indiana. was extend-
ed to the eastern seaboard yester-
day when most of the principal re-
fineries followed the lead of the
Gulf Oil company in reducing prices
one cent a gallon. Further cuts
were e'xpected by the oil trade here
in the next few weeks. Tank wagon
prices of gasoline I: now 14 1-:
cents in Massachusetts and 16 1-2
cents in New York. New Jersey and
Connecticut.
The recent cuts were made possible
by the ste y reduction in crude oil
prices, bu they also were influenced
by the seasonal decrease in gasoline
consumption and the fact that sever-
al of the large companies are facing
the winter with their storage facili-
ties taxed to capacity. Some of the
smaller companies have been forced
to sell gasoline at or below cost in
order to satisfy an urgent need for
immediate funds.
Gasoline stocks in storage at pres-
ent are reported to total more than
one billion gallons with production
exceeding consumption. On Oct. 1
there were 972.69d.832 gallons of
gasoline on hand. the largest in his»
tory for that time of the year. and
almost 800.000 gallons larger than
the supply ion Oct. 1. 1921.
