WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-Determ-
ined that the government shall nave
its decks cleared of the liquor trat
fic should it be forced into war, ma
tional prohibition advocates TO-DAY
redoubled their efforts in congress 70
force a vote on the Webb Sheppard
measure.
1--WE must not wait until we are
under arms before abolishing the
liquor traffic" said Senator Shep-
pard. Eve cannot permit ourselves
to be caught as European nations
were caught"
The senate will await action on the
Webb bill in the house before taking
up the Sheppard bill-identtcA IN
terms-tt was stated.
Senate dry leaders expect quick
passage Of the bill in the house.
The house rules committee Is ex.
pected to make the measure special
privilege" so that it may be brought
to an early vote. This will give the
senate time for concurrence.
Opposition to the measure because
it woalld deprive the country OF a2-
proximately 100000, 900 annual reF-
enue at a time when the country
would need money, is not however,
Sheppard believes, sufficiently strong
to defeat the bill.
1--WE could well afford to sacrifice
even this enormous income IN view
of the benefits prohibition would
bring In war;" Sheppard said.
Senate dry leaders today began
lining up support with view TO rush
ing their bill through Immediately up,
on its adoption by the house. Recen,
passage by the senate of the District
OF Columbia dry bill-believed tt
have furnished a test Of senate sentl
jment-has encouraged the belief that
the upper body will extend its pro
| visions to the nation at large.
Conversion of liquor manufactures
into munitions plants Is designed in
the bill. Either the president or the
secretary Of war, probably the former,
would be given the power to COM
mandeer all distilleries in time of ma
tional emergencies. Power also to be
given either to regulate the hours OF
saloons Or to close them altogether,
|. Randall today declared in favor OF
Immediate action on the Webb resolu'
ton for a national prohibition amend
ment to the constitution.
"All European countries in the wal
have effected some sort OF temperance
measure during the war;" Randall
said. I'VE must come to it sooner OF
later, and IL we are to have trouble
the sooner we put the national amend
ment up to the states the better we
will be fixed to meet war. The fact
that the international situation Is
grave is an argument in favor OF i'm
mediate passage Of the resolution
not against It,"
The Webb bill must be passed by
two thirds Of the votes of both houses
before it can be put up to the states
for ratification into the constitution.
1t must then be approved by three
fourths OF the states-thirty-six
New Liquor Bill.
WASHINGTON. Feg. 16.-Repre-
sentative Randall of California. is
drafting a bill giving the president
or secretary Of war power to take
over all distilleries and to regulate
all saloons in time of war.
He will introduce the measure at
the first sign of armed conflict with
Germany, he declared today.
