in FAVOR
OF Wines and beer
Expresses Views on Prohibition
Measures in Food Bill.

President Wilson favors the abolition
of whiskey manufacture. But he be-
lives that stopping the making of
wines and beer might cause an in
dustrial unrest, and divide the SYM
pathies of the nation.
HE communicated this view YES
terday to Senator Martin, the Dem
ocratic leader and to Senator Gerry,
Of Rhode Island, at a White House
conference. Martin in turn repeated
the Presidential wish to various
Senators. Postmaster General Burle-
son, the Administrations faithful
emissary and himself a Texan, was
sent hurrying to the Capitol to
Swing" Senator Morris sheppard, o.
Texas. Senator Sheppard is an out
and out probihitionist. But later. he
said that he would bow to the Presi-
dent. IL the Chief Executive consider
ed that discontinuance of beer manu-
facture might interfere with the sue
cessful conduct OF the war.
There Is practically no doubt that
the Senate will pass the bill. with
the express provision that whiskey
shall go. but that the President shall
determine whether foodstuffs are to
be used for beer or wine manufacture.
In fact, an amendment TO this effect
has already been roughly framed, and
will be offered perhaps today. The
Democratic majority In the Senate Is
sufficient to carry te amendment
