 "l regard the immediate passage of the bill as of vital consequence to the safety of the nation. Time is the as- sence and yet it has become evident that heated and protracted debate will delay the passage of the bill if the provisions concerning the manufacture of wines and beer are in sisted upon.
 "ln these circumstances, 1 have not hesitated to say to members of the senate who have been kind enough to consult me, that 1t would undoubtedly be in public interest in this very crit- cal matter, if the friends of those provisions should consent to their elimination from the present measure
 "Feeling that your committee is actuated by the same patriotic mo- tives which inspire me, am confident that these considerations will seem to you, as they seem to me, imperative.'
 The anti-saloon league representa- tives replied that while recognizing "the force of any appeal from the president and commander in chief of the army and navy in time of war;" definite answer will be deferred. An informal agreement was reached by leaders of the prohibition forces in the senate for virtual abandonment of the fight to include beer and wine in liuuor legislation.
