U. s. ATTORNEYS MUST ENFORCE
 PROHIBITION Raper Declares Bureau Not
 Responsible.
PRESIDENT MAY
 RESCIND ORDER
Officials Contend Law Gan Not Be Enforced Without Specific
 Legislation.

Washington, April 12-Enforce- ment of war time prohibition which becomes effective July 1st, is not lodged with the internal revenue bu- reau or with any other government agency but is merely left to United States attorneys, revenue commis- toner Daniel c. Roper. declared today after analysis of all statutes and regulations.
 ntimaton that because of the ap- parent difficulty of enforcement, the president or congress might be call ed on to postpone the laws opera tion, was given by Mr. Roper in a statement saying that the issuing of licenses for the manufacture, pro- hibited by the War Time prohibition act, will naturally cease with July l. assuming. of course, that neither the president nor the congress stays the operation fthat law"
 In this connection, it became known today that number of admin the president had recently urged him ito prevent prohibition from g0inlg into effect July 1st, by proclaiming the completion of demobilization by that time. This view is understood ito include Commissioner Roper who is represented as believing prohibit tion cannot be enforced adequately without specific legislation establish ing an enforcement agency.
 Explains Failure.
 After explaining in a statement that congress had failed to pass bills authorizing administration of the wartime prohibition provision of the agricultural bill approved last Mo- vember 21st, MT. Roper said:
 Enforcement of the prohibition contained in the act, therefore, is not placed with the commissioner of in- ternal revenue, or lodged anywhere in the government but is naturally left to the United States attorneys to enforce by prosecution under the section of the act which provides that any person who violates any of the foregoing provisions shall be punished by imprisonment not to ex- ceed one year, or by fine not to ex- ceed $1,000, or both, such imprison- ment and fine.
 "An analogous conditions exists, brought about by the failure of con- gress to enact at the last sesion the necessary legislation and provide the necessary money for the enforcement by wartime prohibition" MT. Roper declared.
 Will Enforce Laws.
 Existing revenue laws with re- gard to the control of illicit manu- facture and sale will, of course, re- main in force until repealed by con- gress. Their enforcement will contin- ue to be given the vigorous attention of internal revenue officers until re- pealed"
 The commissioner also expressed the view that the only authority giv- en the internal revenue bureau by the war time prohibition act referred to the manufacture and sale of spirits for other than beverage purposes and the distribution of wine for sacramental, medicinal or other than beverage pur- poses.

JAPANESE RACIAL
 AMENDMENT TO
 LEAGUE REFUSED
Was Strongly Supported By Japan Delegates At
 Conference.

Paris, April 12 The league of na- tons commission has rejected the Japanese amendment on racial equal ity, according to an authoritative statement issued tonight.
 Some of the members of the com mission voted against the specific in clusion of this amendment in the covenant and, as unanimous approval of the commission was necessary, the amendment which was strongly urged by the Japanese delegates, failed of adoption.
 The statement follows:
 At a meeting of the league of na- tions commission on Friday April 1lth, the Japanese delegation propos- ed an amendment to the preamble of the covenant, as follows: To in- sert after the words by the prescrip- tion of open, just and honorable rela- tons between nations an additional clause to read: By the endorsement of the principle of equality of nations and just treatment of their nationals. ,
 Presented by Makers.
 "The amendment was admirably presented by Baron Makino. In the course of his speech, he emphasized the great desire of the Japanese gov ernment and of the Japanese people that such a principle be recognized in the covenant. His argument was supported with great force by Wis., count Chinda.
 "A discussion followed, in which practically all of the members of the commission participated. The discus sion was marked by breadth of thought, free and sympathetic ex- change of opinion and a complete ap- preciation by the members of the comssion of the difficulties which lay in the way of either accepting or re- jecting the amendment.
 "The commission was impressed by the justice of the Japanese claim and by the spirit in which it was pre- scented. Mention was frequently made in the course of the discussion of the fact that the covenant provided for the representation of Japan on the executive council as one of the five great powers, and that a rejection of the proposed amendment, could not, therefore, be construed as diminish ing the prestige of Japan.
 "Various members of the commits sion, however, felt that they could not vote for its specific inclusion in the covenant. Therefore the commis sion was reluctantly unable to give to the amendment that unanimous ap- proval which is necessary for it's adop- tion.'
