Object 10 to Prevent Food Supplies
From America Reaching Germany
or Replace NeutraIs' Exports.

Washington, Aug. full informa-
ton concerning food conditions In the
northern European neutral countries
has been asked of the neutrals by the
United States in notes handed to their
diplomatic representatives here.
The American governments plan
for rationing the neutrals through Its
control of exports will be determined
on after replies are received.
The intention of the United States
is to hold food exports to the neu-
trails to the barest necessities to pre-
vent the foodstuffs or feed they re-
place from reaching Germany. Only
actual food deficiencies will be made
up from America and assurances will
be demanded that no American-produc-
cd food is re-exported or used to sup
plant food that is exported.
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, head Of the
Norwegian mission, declared his coun.
try, facing starvation, was ready to
release a million tons of shipping for
the privilege of importing food. Nor
way, DR.. hansen said, needs sugar,
fats and grain and would guarantee
that none of these things were sent
into Germany.
The Dutch government, too, is will
ling to exchange ships for food, on
condition that the ships were not sent
into the danger zone. Mr.. Van Rap
pard, the Dutch minister, said his gov
eminent was ready to devote $4,000
tons to the transportation of relief
Of the Belgians if the United States
will allow Holland to have foodstuffs
for her own use.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Representa-

Prohibition member of Congress,
issued a statement declaring that
"the friends of national prohbi-
ton have been flim-f1ammed by the
liquor lobby in the constitutional
amendment adopted" He added that
"a great jolliication' was held by
liquor representatives in Washing
ton hotel and that a well-defined ru-
NOR had sprung up that the six-year
clause added on Senator Harding's mo-
ton was really written by the brew.
ers' attorneys.
Sees Joker in New Clause.
THE joker is not in the six-year
handicap ITSELF" said Mr.. Randall,
though that is without single prece-
Debt in history. The Harding clause
provides that this article shall be in
operative unless ratified within six
years. The impression is that the pro-
hibition amendment would not become
a part Of the Constitution unless so
ratified. The fact is it will become a
part Of the Constitution if ratified
after the time limit. but will be inop-
erative. This promises long years Of
litigation. The whole campaign to Sc
cure ratification by the state will be
clouded by this uncertain language.
"The duty Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives is clear. Throw out the
Harding clause entirely"
