as well give up hope, unless lhe sell
ate ratified The Treaty.
That q was possible under such CIR
cumstanccs that wartime prohibition
would remain IN force until January
next, when the amendment 10 the Fed
eral Constitution Will go into ehect
was admitted by Mr.. Palmer
IT certainly WILL he said, unless
the Treaty OF Peace Is ratified. The
legislation makes the operation OF war
time prohibition very plain. The status
OF rehabilitation, as Il affects pro-
hibltion, cannot even be considered
prior 10 the formal proclamation OF
peace, which only may follow the rati-
ilcatlon OF the Treaty"
II also was made plain by Mr. Palmer
Mat prohibition would remain In onect

Senate with a result Of containing res
eryatlOns or amendments which made
II necessary 10 return the treaty 10 the
Peace Conference, unless President VII

That the President would follow such a
course Is not considered at all probable.
