FOR SQUARE DEAL IN WHEAT
Fully Alive to the Fact That There
Should be Price Basis ON the
Pacific Coast

In response to the telegram of Pres
ident c. J. Hugo of the Moscow Cham
ber of Commerce urging him to use
all possible means to have some city
on the coast made a terminal for the
purchase of wheat and government
prices fixed on that basis, Senator Jas
H. Brady wired today:
i fully agree with you that this
should be done, and have been work
ing night and day for three weeks TO
see if it could not be done but up to
the present time we have been unable
to convince the committee or the pres
idant that conditions exist that require
them to make these points bases for
the purpose of buying. However,
am going to continue along these lines
and try in every way possible to secure
fair treatment for the section which
it is not receiving under this rule"

MAKES SPECIAL APPEAL
TO BRITONS IN AMERICA
Canadians and EngIishmen of Military
Age in the United States May
Be Drafted Later

Col. j. S. Dennis, commanding the
British recruiting mission in the Uni
ted States, west of the Mississippi ri
yer, has announced that he has been
authorized to say that British and
Canadian subjects of military age in
the United States, not naturalized cit
liens, will be unable to evade the con-
scription acts of their native lands
and the United States. Reciprocal leg
islation, now pending in Washington,
D. c., will make such aliens subject
to the American draft, according to
inside information from the capital. If
a Canadian or Briton declines service
in the American army, he may be de-
ported to his native land where he au-
becomes available for serv-
ice there under their conscription laws,
now effective. The British recruiting
mission is making its appeal to men
who will be available under this new
legislation.

WASHINGTON-Wh Whisky making in
the United States ends legally at IL
o'clock tonight.
But whisky drinking <does not end
There were 232,404,S70 gallons of it
stored in warehouses at the last re-
port not to mention supplies in sa-
looms, wholesale liquor stores and
with licensed liquor dealers. This
supply will last several years.
While the food control law under
which John Barleycorn is knocked out,
is effective only for the duration of
the war, prohibitionists declare whisky
making never will be known again in
this country. They are confident that
with the experience gained from the
present war experiment, nationwide
prohibition will soon be adopted by
federal constitutional amendment.
Why DistiIlers Quit
John made hard fight in congress
before the knockout was administered
in Section Is of the food control law.
Herbert Hoover counted John out in
order to save about 40,OO0,000 bushels
of foodstuffs to fight the war.
What will happen to whisky distill-
cries is problematical Some have al
ready announced they will go out OF
business. Others plan to contiue ma
king alcohol for industrial purposes.
Many may enter other lines-even ma
king matted milk
For Beverages Only
The law prohibits the making of dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes
Straight alcohol and denatured alcohol |
may continue to be manufactured |
There are about 700 plants equipped
for making alcohol in this country. j
Only about 600, however, actually have |
been making whisky.
Hoover's order stops all processes in
the production of whisky at IL p. m.
"The use OF foods, fruits and food ma
terials or feeds may not even be in
itiated unless the entire process may
be fully completed prior to II p. M,

Other Shocks May Follow
He did not give John Barleycorn a
single moments grace. While 30 days
from date of approval of the law-Au-
gust 1O-would be tomorrow. Sunday,
Hoover fixed the hour of Johns de-
mise at II p. m. tonight because the
internal revenue laws prevent the op-
grafton of distilleries between II Sat-
lrday night and the following Monday
