that national prohibition is essential dur

measure. will be resurrected otherwise

The Tammauy delegation in me House
is regarded largely responsible for the
action of the caucus in reconsidering its
previous action which had resulted in an
approval of the prohibition bill by Il
vote of ~ to 60. They are said TO have
informed Democratic leaders that they
would not be bound by caucus action. if
1t were proposed to commit the party to
the prohibition bill-Washngton dis

That puts the issue squarely up to
the President He can demand ma
tional prohibition as a war measure
and thus halt the millions of bushels
OF food grains now converted into the
means of making fools, incompetents
and criminals OF men now needed in
ational service.
Can the President consistently urge
food conservation. increased produc-
ton and exceptional effort toward ma
tional supply and efficiency. while per-
uniting this needless waste OF food
and human material?

pie and others devoting themselves

Selfish interests. recognizing the folly
OF identifying themselves with OPP
position TO demand so eminently
practical are letting it alone. Big
newspapers that derive large income
from advertising intoxicants are not
telling Congress and the President
what the mass of their readers desire.
1t thus becomes a matter for the peo-
pie themselves to impress directly
upon the President. And he should
receive messages from the folks" I'M

city government that it does not fol-
low in the wake of some other cities
and make the offer to pillow gardens for
those not able to hire the work done.
