By The United Press

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, June i2-Congress
looks 10 President Wilson 20 decide It's
course on war time nationwide prohi-
biiion.
While the senate Agriculture Com
mittee today considered the Jones dry
amendment 90 the emergency food act
leaders pointed out that final action
certainly will hinge on the Presidents
wishes Dry leaders believe the Presi-
dent Will favor war time prohibition.
His objection TO the Randall amendment
they pointed out, was that Il would
have Grated pieoemeal prohibition by
banning manufactured beer and Hight
wines, but not prohibiting use o 7
100000 gallons Of whiskey now on
hand. They have taken from the pres-
dents altitude the intimation that he
is not adverse TO straight out, absolute
prohibition.
VETS. however. declare bone dry pro-
hibition cannot constitutionally be i'm
posed u will require adoption OF the
dry amendment 90 the constitution they
declare. Congressional enactment Of a
mere rider 10 an agricultural bill. they
hold, would violate constitutional rights
OF American citizens
Both direct and indirect means are 20
be used TO sound The President. Through
cabinet members his views are TO be as
certalned II possible. Later on some
senator's plan 10 call on the President
with the request that he indicate Il
them whether or not be favOrs bon'
dry prohibition.
The VETS. too. win argue 10 the Presi
dent that sudden elimination Of bee
and light wines might have an In
furious effect on the peoples morale.

horses. But II they, at any future time,
decide TO take up arms, II will be with
The Allies, because Mexlcans are In
