HARRISBURG.—Characterizing the reply of
Secretary Mellon to his criticism of the Federal Pro
hibition enforcement system, as “a defense of things
as they are,” Governor Pinchot came out Wednesday
a second letter to the Secretary of the Treasury.
The governor said that “what is needed is not a
defense of the present evils but the determination toi
abate them, followed by effective action.”
In his second letter to Secretary Mellon, Governor,
Pinchot wrote, “It is a matter of sincere regret to me;
that your answer to my letter is merely an effort to
justify the present Federal system of prohibition en
forcement, which all America knows to be defective,
inefficient and a breeder of corfpution.”

LONDON.—Great Britain has formally advised
France and Belgium that she cannot recognize the
Separatist movement in the Rhineland or the estab-
lishmena of a nindividual state in Cologne or othe*
parts of the occupied area, according to information
officially given out here Wednesday.
WhlI** It has never been official
ly stated, It Is reported to bavs
been the opinion In French and
Belgian official circle* that Great
‘Britain has been on the verge of
taking this action for several day*.
The establishment of individual
state* in Germany would have tha
effect of breaking up any central
ized government extending over
tho entire country and would make
France .and Belgium safe from any
future possible attacks by Germany.
No reply had been received from
cither France or Belgian It waa
stated, on England’* communica
tion, and it is thought that the two
European countries wJlJ enter into
conference a* to what tone their
answer shal Itake.
In view of the recent Franco*
Britain crisis, the announcement by
England that *he would not recog
nize the individual states created
a stir In official circles, and tb»
opinion was expressed that thl*
late action may precipitate such
another crisis In the feelings be
tween the three countries.
