FROM HEAD NEW
LAW COMMISSION
PROHIBITION IS THE MOST
SERIOUS SUBJECT; OF
GREAT CONSIDERATION

of New York, speaking at the
Governors’ conference which op

| ed out the weaknesses of the
federal prohibition law and sug
gested plans for strengthening it.
I The letter was described as the
first public expression of the law
| and said that the enforcement
| rested chiefly upon the shoulders
| of the federal government and
j suggested some feasible means of
! dividing the burden of enforce
! ment between the states of the
national government.
It was suggested the states
be given police and retain polic
ing power over the wholesale
end. The letter assured Governor
Roosevelt that prohibition is the
most serious subject and it is
receiving g^eat considerati o n
from the committee.

POLICE BELIEVE
BELIEVED TO BE ONE OF LARG
EST SHIPMENTS; MAY BE
SOLUTION TRAFFIC
PARTS, July 16, UP)—A diplomatic
incident threatened to develop over
the discovery by the French police
of nearly $1,000,000 worth of nar
cotics in four shipping cases owned
by A1 Ghalam Khan, former envoy
of Afghanastan to Paris.

cleared up. police are working on
!he theory that Ghan was connect
ed with a drug ring which has been
supplying drugs to members of
Parisian society.
It is believed this is one of the
largest shipments of this ring and
may be the solution of the heavy
drug traffic during the last few
years among wealthy Parisian so
ciety whose members are known to
he heavy drug users but the source
of which police have been unable Co
trace.
