dicted tonight that the present Con-
gress would not follow President Will
sons recommendation that the war

Representative Isaac r. Sherwood,
Democrat, Of Ohio, was ready to sup
port the President in his recommended
ton Il am in favor of real wartime
prohibition" he said. "The Prohibi-
tionsts. Of course, would rathor have

Representative b. K Focht. Republi-
can, OF Penns yivania. asserted that the
President, i'm spite of his opinion TO the
contrary, has the authority to rescind
wartime prohibition whenever he de-
sires.
1T is delightful in its phrasing and
rhetorical in its alcoholic finale" he
commented on the message.
President Handed Us Lemon
The President has handed us
lemon, however, for he himself has the
power to repeal wartime prohibitions"
Representative Fess, Republican, of
Ohio, said:
II am not surprised al the Presidents
recommendations regarding light wines
and beers. He says one thing one day

attribute his second days remarks to

The test suit brought in the United
States District Court here to establish
the right of brewers to make PTS per
cent beer (Which they hold is not in
toxicating) will not be tried if Con-
gress acts on the Presidents recon-
mendation. The brewers have pooled
their funds to settle this issue. Elihu
Root and William y Guthrie represent
them in test case in which the Jacob
Hoffman Brewing Company is seeking
an injunction restraining Acting Col
lector Of Internal Revenue McElligott
of the Third District from applying
the provisions of the war emergency
prohibition act to brewers of 2.75 per
cent beer.
Hearing Friday
The motion for preliminary in
junction comes up Friday before Judge
Augustus Hand. 1t was indicated in the
Federal Building yesterday that there
was a strong possibility of request
for an adjournment by agreement of
counsel One of the attorneys in the
case said;
"If til wartime prohibition law is
modified the suit falls of its own
weight"
William H. Hrst, attorney for the
New York State Brewers Association
and for the Society of Restaurateurs,
said yesterday, in connection with the
Presidents message:
"The great mass of the American
people did not actually understand
what prohibition meant until they were
on the threshold. Then they woke up
TO the fact that they would be deprived
of even a glass of beer or wine in their
homes with their meals, in their clubs
or restaurants. They realized they
were to be subjected to restraints not
even dreamed of in the darkest days of
the war. Then all classes of the Ameri-
can people awakened with sentiment
against ext6eme prohibition that has
reacted on the entire world. The
Presidents message seems to be found
ed on reasoning which may furnish
the solution of the prohibition ques-
ton.
Expects Congress to Reflect
"Doubtless, Congress will find food
for reflection on the issues the Presi-
dent raises, and Will proceed with the
enactment of legislation that is
practical, enforceablog and reasonable
solution of the ISSUE of prohibition,
which up to now never was so clear
ly defined and understood.
81 am not prepared to say what effect
the Presidents words may have on
CONGRESSES Interpretation of the
Federal prohibition amendment, if by
chance the amendment is upheld by
the courts. But it seems reasonable
TO suppose that the opinion Of so
eminent a person as the President
would be of considerable Importance
and moment in any deliberations Con-
gress may have over an enforcement
measure and in determining what
really constitutes an Intoxicating
beverage as applied to normal per-
sons"

Some of the other comments tonight
were:
Repre- sentative Good, Republican, Of
Iowa, Chairman House Appropriations
Committee: "The great disappointment
IN the message is that the President
has failed to show us where we can
economize on expenditures. In fact, he
showed us whore we could spend more
money. He showed us how we could cut
down our revenue, but failed to provide
for the elimination of many war agcn-
cies that arc requiring large expendi-
lures, thing greatly needed now"

Missouri, minority floor leader: at

Bankers Indorse Redfeld
Plan for Rail Regulation
Resolutions Approre Scheme to
Put Roads on the Basis of
4dequate Serrice and Income

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. West
Va, May 20-Resolutions were adopted
to-day by the executive committees of
the savings bank and trust company
sections of the American Bankers AS
soclatlon unanimously indorsing the
plan of the National Association Of
Owners Of Railroad Securities, known
as the Warfield plan, for the return
and regulation of the railroads.
The resolution of the savings bank
section says:
I'VE are in favor of such legislation
by Congress as will insure under all
conditions fixed percentage return
on the investment in the railroads
through the adjustment of rates. as
provided in the so-called Warfeld plar
tor the return and regulation of the
railroads, which has the full support
of that most distinguished statesman,
Hon. Elihu Root, as fundamentally the
most sound plan proposed and which
has been laid before Congress by the
National Association of Owners of
Railroad Securities, representing in
actual membership one half of the ST.
ooO0oo,o00 outstanding securities of
the railroads.
The resolution of the trust company
section says:
1T is vital to the financial and bust
ness interests of the country that the
return of the railroads to private oper-
alton and ownership be ACCOMPLISHED
under regulatory measures that will
insure such protection to their credit
and securities as will secure the funds
essential to adequate railway service
in the public interest"

LaaU Must Protect
Roads If Returned
To Cive Them Back With
out Safeguards Disas-
trous, Says Cuyler

Thomas De Witt Cuyler, chairman of
the Association of Railway Executives,
commenting last night on the Pres-
dents statement to Congress that the
railroads would be returned to their
owners at the end of this year, said:
"It is to be assumed of course, that
the President believes that Conpress
Will be able to frame in the next seven
months the legislation that it will be
necessary to enact before the govern
ment returns the roads to their own
ers. The members of the Senate and
House who have this legislation in
charge are apparently hopeful that with
the unmlstakable general agreement
over the country as to the basic prin-
clples of necessary railroad legislation
non-partisan bill, embodying these
principles, can be placed in the Presi-
dents hands for his signature within
the next few months.
Would Invite Disaster
TO return the railroads to their
owners under the old system of regula-
tion-a system that had failed would
invite disaster AS Senator Cummins
has so we'll expressed it. this is the
psychological time to correct the evils
in our pre-war system OF railroad con-
troll.
The problem Of putting our trans
portation system on a sound basis for
the future is not nearly so complex as
1t seemed two or three years ago. The
public demands: First. adequate. eff

cally produced; second, new railroad

Must Beware, Says Penrose
Senator Penrosc, of Pennsylvania
commenting on the tariff feature OF
the Presidents message, said tonight;
II agree with that part Of the mes.
sage in which the statement is made
that there is no immediate occasion
for general tariff revision. There is
no novelty in the argument that world
vide industrial and commercial affairs
arc upset and abnormal and that il
would be impossibl Die to frame adequate
tariff schedules just now.
THAT is no reason, however, why it
is not the duty of Congress to care
fully study the question of industrial
preparedness. Sooner or later Ameri-
can industries will need adequate pro
lection duties to preserve their pros
perity.

in Europe for subsidies, including gov
ernment subsidies, for many industries.

)
urged that preferential rates be given
the colonies; that some kind of protec-
tion be provided for industries through
Incense system or embargo or some
other way, direct or indirect, ultimately
resulting in protection. Should every
thing else fail it is deliberately de-
clared that government ownership of
certain industries must be called into
existence, so that England and these
other nations may be made supreme in
the industrial field. 1t should be the
duty of Congress to take these impor-
tant questions under consideration i'm
medlately with view to action at the
earliest practicable moment
"a Demagogic Message"
Senator New, Republican, Indiana,
said: 1T is the most dcmagogic mes
sage that has ever gone to the Con
gress Of the United States. 1t is prac-
tically the announcement of the Presi-
dents candidacy for a third term and
the opening bid for the nomination.
He makes an appeal to all there is of
sentiment on the part of and in be-
half of labor, but there is not word
IN 1t about the needs of business He
makes a last bid for the coming
Women's votes and the brewers votes
a combination that is unique but
powerful. He says we must not enact
tariffs for there is no need Of them, but
we must have tariffs on dyestuhs and
chemicals.'
