PRESIDENT WILL NOT
OPPOSE PROHIBITION

Washington, June 27.-Administra-
ton officials disclaim knowing how
President Wilson looks upon the pro-
'hibition amendment to the food bill,
but it is generally believed he will
not oppose its adoption by congress.
Although the president has not indi-
Gated his attitude, it was believed to-
day he would agree with Herbert C.
Hoover, the food administrator, who
has announced he looks upon prohibi.
ton only from the practical point OF
whether it is more important to use
food stuffs exclusively for food.
II the president takes any stand on
the subject some officials believe II
will be on whether the food bill should
be hindered in passage and involved
in long debate by the attachment OF
such amendments.
BY a vote Of eight to seven the SEN
ate agricultural committee rejected
the subcommittee prohibition plan
and proceeded to consider various
other substitute proposals. After re
jecting the subcommittee prohibition
plan, the full committee adopted the
house prohibition provisions with a
modification as to manufacture of var
ious beverages. The new provisions
would prohibit the manufacture of all
intoxicants, including both distilled
spirits and malt beverages and wines
but would allow the president discre
ton to permit further manufacture OF
wine only.

and products in interstate or foreign

mittee as proposed by the sub-commit-
tee. This was regarded as n of the
most important amendments of the bill

Allowance of Fat Will

Winter, Stated
10y Leased Wire to New Mexican)

Copenhagen, June 27.-Germans are
informed officially that rations of fat
next winter will be less than the scan
ty allowance Of so grams weekly last
winter, and that therefore marmalade,
preserves, ETC., must be relied upon al
most exclusively to render the daily
bread palatable. Following the prece-
dent set in the French revolution, the
central bureau, charged with the dis
tribution Of fruits and vegetables has
introduced a new division of time. The
year hereafter will be divided into
nine marmalade months and three
compete months according to the ma
terials for bread spreading.
Although the announcement has a
semi-humorous appearance, it has a
serious bearing, for it emphasizes
measures taken to check the export
from the u. S. of fats to Germany
and also of shipments of apples, which
occasionally reach the central empires
from America. The bureau also con-
templates a regulation limiting individ-
ual purchases of fruit to two or three
pounds at a time, 30 as to make the
supply go around.
