Assurances having been given that
the officials of the Anti7Saloon League

passage of the food control bill by
insisting on the amendment prohibit
ing the manufacture of beer and wine,
the Administration is now making
ready to rush through the measure
upon which so much depends.
In their Anal reply to the President,
thr prohibitionists declare they VIII
place no further obstacles in his way.
The letter to the President, trans
mitted to the White House last night,
and signed by p. A. Baker, general
superintendent; Edwin c. Dinwiddie,
legislative superintendent, and James
Canon, jr., Arthur J. Barton, and
Wayne B. Wheeler. of the legislative
committee, is as follows:
we assure you OF our purpose as
patriotic American citizens to CO.
operate In every possible way in the
winning of the great war in which
our nation is engaged"
Tell of sThreats."
I'VE have earnestly considered the
statement in your letter OF yesterday
to the legislative committee Of the
Anti-Saloon League OF America. that
in the face OF the present food crisis
you are greatly concerned lest the
early passage OF the food administra-
ton legislation now pending in Con-
gress be jeopardized by a heated and
protracted debate upon certain sec
tons OF the bill relating to the manu-
facture OF foodstUffs into intoxicating
liquors.
we are aware OF the threats made
by the friends OF beer and wine in
the Senate of an indefinite and pro-
tracted filibuster against those provi-
sions Of the bill. We beg to assure
you that as patriotic Americana, de-
termined to uphold you as Comman-
der-fn Chief OF the Army and Navy
in the present war, we will not for
our constituency offer any obstruction
to the prompt passage of the food
control bill
"Of course, we cannot presume to
indicate to members OF Congress
what action they should take in view
of this request from the President of
the United States. They will, doubt
less. act in accordance with their con-
victions of duty.
Only One Measure Involved.
1--WE are glad to note that your
request applies only to the pending
food administration legislation. 1t
will be our purpose to urge the pas
sage OF legislation prohibiting the
waste OF foodstuffs in the manufac-
ture OF beer and wines at the earliest
possible date, either in the form OF a
separate bill. or in connection with
other war legislation"
