PROHIBIIIONDIE
TO WARLOOMs
Up At CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, d. G., May 23.-
Nationwide prohibition during the
period of the war is fast becoming
probability, in the opinion, Of those
who are keeping their fingers On the
pulse Of Congress. =, =
1t is apparent, say those In close
touch with opinion as II Is forming,
that there is fast spreading through
out Congress q sentiment that at least
some degree Of national prohibition
is not only proper but necessary dur
ing that period In which the United
States will be engaged In the struggle
for the worlds democracy. Many
congressman who have heretofore op-
posed all suggestions Of prohibition as
a matter OF congressional decision are
now expressing their new conviction
that In some way the country should
be made 10 limit its expenditures on
intoxicants.
During Present Session ...-.
So apparent Is this new sentiment
that there exists widespread con.
yiction that Congress, before the spe.
cial session is concluded, win have
enacted, at least, q law providing for
prohibition to q limited extent, even II
the effort for full prohibition as q
war time measure fails. L 4 81.
The house did not conclude ifs days
labors until well on into this morning
and even then the expected final vote
ON the war tax bill was not reached
Throughout the day the debate upon
this measure, which provides for q
vast increase In direct taxes, was
carried on and number OF amend.
ments were taken up and considered.
Postal Increases
One amendment, proposed by the
ways and means committee, REIN
poses In a new form the increased
postal charges on second class matter,
against which the newspapers and the
representatives of organized labor
have protested in the committee hear.
tngs on the bill. The amendment,
which carried by a vote of 1913 to II,
increases the second class rates un-
der the zone system.
The consideration Of the measure
dS q WuOi6 u uO" V1EIudI1y COupt6Io
and the uncompleted sections will all
be voted on today, according to the
program Of the house leaders. The
amendments which have been made
are expected to cali for a redrafting
of the bill in the senate, after passing
which it will necessarily go into a
conference.
Food Control
Yesterday a second administration
food bill was introduced into the
house, which provides for measures
quite as drastic as the provisions of
the original bill. 1t is urged by the
administration that the legislators
hurry up action on this bill, which is
declared to be most essential.
The bill presented yesterday is to
create an emergency agency to act
and to be under the control Of the
President for the distribution and sale
of the necessities of life. The agency,
under the direction Of the President,
is to be given wide powers.
