L'">-27. in the opinion of the committee "an apolntlve judiciary, with a prelimi? nary endorsement of candidates by the bar is the ideal manner to secure a uniformly efficient bench." The report al!Oy emphasise! the need for thorough cooperation of menibers of the judiciary and the bar, for tin*' purpose of maintaining liigli profess/ ional standard! In legal practice. ' Questionnaires seeking suggestions as to how cooperation might be ac? complished best have been sent out by approximately 1,500 members of the Judiciary throughout the United States, during the past year, according to the report, which has been made public by Ithe local committee in charge of arrangements.' In reply, it states,- lvcomniendat ions has been made that tin- bars in the va? rious localities 1h> Incorporated, with the Canon of Bthics BS a part of their constitution. Wherever this plan is carried out. the recommendation is made that the corporation be en? trusted with complete supervision of Ihe activities of all practicing attor? neys and of those who follow the pro? fession without fifSt having met the prescribed tests. The report suggests that the lack of proper tests as to character of ap? plicants tor "admission to the,bar "is the cause of many unworthy men slip? ping in."

To Be Found Under the Ameri? can Flag _ PROHIBITION DOES NOT APPLY To Virgin Island Though They Cannot Manufacture Bay Rum, By The- Associated Press San Juan. P. R., August 16?Prub- | ably the only place under the Ameri? can flag wher prohibition ,ls not now, in force in in the Virgin islands where, until Congress enacts new laws the old Danish laws remain li force. The Colonial Council of St. Croix has just passed a hill repealing former local legislation lor that island which provided for local prohibition until a Specified period alter the ending of the war. Simitar legislation is pend? ing in the Colonial Council for the is? lands of st. Thomas and St. John. The treaty of sale by which the Islands 'were transferred from Den? mark to the United States provided I that laws in force at the time of the transfer should remain in full force and effect until Congress enacted spe? cial legislation for the islands. This : has not yet been <h>ne in the mean- i time the constitution Of the United [States, in all its provisions, is not UP" Iplioable to the island.- and the eigh? teenth amendment has no meaning there. As a war measure the colonial coun- ! ells, the law making bodies, passed prohibition acts to be enforced during! the. war. As a result St Thomas, where Champagne sohl for a dollar a bottle and other llqUOVfl w?ere equally ' .Inexpensive and the two other is? lands gradualy became dry. Merchants In St. Thomas whose business is larg- ' |y that of supplying Ships stores have ' contended that prohibition was one of i their greatest handicaps while the sun ar makers In St. (jrbix were deprived of a lucrative trade I 1 an important by-product of sugar when they were forced to ceash making rum. With : War prohibition removed by local leg-] Islattpn, rumAjgiakfng has already been I resumed.
