Editor, Journal

Sir: The following incident may
throw some light upon the cause of the
advocacy of the projected league of
nations which is so pronounced in
influential financial circles. 1 relate
it precisely as to occurred.
Early last May there called upon
me at my office a Mr.. j. j. M'Neill
whose engraved card described him
as London manager of the Manchester
Guardian, of Manchester, England. Mr..
O'Neill. who was a stranger to me,
, immediately introduced the subject of
the league of nations and took me
to task because of my opposition to
that project. Upon inquiring of him
why an Englishman should be in this
country instructing an American in
the latter's national duty. and receiv-
ing no clear answer, / asked him
bluntly what was the actual purpose
of his visit to the United States He
replied that he was here upon mis-
sion connected with the internationali-
cation of the war debt. 1 asked him
If he meant me to understand that
he was here upon the business of in
Guiding the United States to guarantee
the war debt of the nations recently
at war, including that or Great Brit
ain, and that of Germany. He said
that he was. 1 told him that he
would find little sentiment in this
country favorable to such project.
This seemed to surprise him; he said
that 1 was the first American he had
met who did not favor it. I then ask
ed him whom he had seen, and he re-
piled that upon the previous day he
had seen Mr.. J. p. Morgan, and that
Mr.. Morgan had expressed himself as
being in favor of the plan.
Whether this was or was not a cor
rect statement of Mr.. Morgan's po-
sition / have no means of knowing.

to inquire publicly what plans, if any.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
AIDS GRAPE GROWERS

Los Angeles, Sept. 17.-National pro-
hibition will not bring disaster to the
grape growing and wine making in
dustry in Southern California, accord
ing to reports today to internal Reve-
nue. Collector John p. Carter.
In preparing to meet the require
ments of the national law, which goes
into effect January 16, 1920. the manu-
facturers have made a discovery by
which they will be able TO make wine
complying with the requirements Of
the government. The alcoholic content
will be reduced to one half Of one
per cent.
The new process is said to leave the
wine sweet and palatable and capable
of being kept an undetermined time
while the alcohol which remained N
the content under the old process IS
removed and may be utilized as n n.y.
produce.
Many of the large wineries are gath-
ering and crushing grapes as uauai.
Many wine grapes are being shipiFa
east instead of being drug on ts
market and left to rot in the ieids
as was prophesied freely. Wine grapes
now are bringing $50 a ton, compared
with $50 to s45 a ton last year. IhF
vineyards apparently are celebrating
the advent of prohibition, as the graN
crop is a record breaker.
