 Washington, July Hive members minority report on the prohibition enforcement bill made public tonight , declared Congress should repeal fhs wartime prohibition act or at least lift the ban in far it relates to the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer.
 While this report was being pre- pared Chairman Volstead of the jul dietary committee announced that he had asked for a rule to make the gen eral enforcement bill in order for I'm : mediate consideration. with a view to calling it up tomorrow in the House
 There was no assurance however that debate would begin at once. and the general view was that consitera- ton would go over until Thursday

TEXT OF REPORT

on the general question of the war time act and it's enforcement the minority re- port held:
 That the provisions for the enforce ment or war time prohibition carry a oelinition of intoxicating liquors which
 eAtehas the prohibition beyond that of
 the orlglnal act and to that extent is ne" legislation which congress has not the right now to pass under the war power We believe the original act should be repealed <' That as to constitutional prohibition. section of the amendment provides that the congress and the several states shall nave concurrent power to enforce this ar- tlele by appropriate legislation, and the niii presented is wholly upon the theory that the action of congress is supreme and totally ignores the concurrent power of the several states
 That the bill goes beyond the prohioi-
 tions of the constitution amendment. par
 ticularly in defining intoxicating liquors
 so as to include beverages that are not in
 fact intoxicating
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-08
VIEWS ON INToxICANTs

The views of the minority as to the in- toxicants are as follows:
 The provisions for enforcement of the war prohibition act contain a definition or intoxicating liquor which is in effect new legislation. The act of November 21. 1918, prohibited the sale of distilled spirits Tor beverage purposes. In the recent cases in New York, where the statute was construed, it was held that only intoxicat- ing beverages were included, and that beer containing 275 per cent of alcohol by weight was within the statute only if in- toxlcating, which was to be determined as other questions of fact. Whether or not the original act of November 21 1918, can be sustained as valid under the war power It seems to us that at this date, under peace conditions that now exist. congress is wholly without power to extend the provisions of that act so as to include all beverages which contain in excess of one half of one per cent alcohol and call them intoxicating.
 This legislation cannot be justified on the theory of the original act being valid The power of Congress rests wholly on the war powers and the conditions exist ing at this time are such that not only should the act not be extended but it should be repealed. War activities have ceased, the treaty with Germany has been signed. orders for the demobiliza- ton of the army will have been carried out in few weeks, contracts for supplies for the army have been concluded, control of the wires by the government has been ordered terminated, and restrictions upon trade have all practically been removed As to all other subjects of legislation Congress is proceeding upon the theory that the war is over
 "On May 20 last in his message to Con- gress, the President said:
 "'The disqualification of the military forces has progressed to such a point that it seems to me entirely safe now to remove the ban upon the manufacture and sale of wines and beer
 Instead of extending the act to in clude beverages not now included in the prohibition, Congress should at least lift the ban to the extent suggested by the President.
 If, however, the act is valid and is not to be repealed. the other provisions Will materially aid in it's enforcement and should be adopted.''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-08
JOINT ACTION NECESSARY

The minority contended that prohibition enforcement. under the constitutional amendment, could only be legally brought about by joint state and federal action. A lengthy discussion of the phrase ''con- current power" as used in the amend ment, with the presentation of supreme court opinions. on analogous constitu-' tional points, was presented to develop the conclusion.
 ITO which government does the citizen owe his duty to observe the eighteenth amendment?' the report said in present. ing conclusions of it's signers on the point The answer is simple, The state sur rendered to the federal government pro- hibition of the manufacture and sale Of intoxicating liquors for beverage pur- poses and simply reserved the power that in the enforcement of the amendment the legislation would be concurrent.
 We cannot eliminate from the consti- tuition that concurrent power to enforce its provisions was given to both. Congress and the several states. No law would be passed in pursuance to the constitution which failed to observe this provision Joint or concurrent legislation is neces- sary for the enactment or proper enforce ment legislation. The reason for this reservation of state power is plainly apparent from the legislation to he inl-s posed on the people and plainly offensive to probably majority of them In the en forcement sections the states are reduced to subject people

pronounced it's strategy and its tao ties contemptible.
 If the comparison of Germany with Rome was false, still falser was the comparison of England with Carthage; Carthage was narrow oligarchy resting upon a peculiarly harsh slave system, and defended by mercenary army recruited from all the Mediterranean peoples. Carthage's lack of freedom was her weakness and England's freedom her strength. But gentlemen of the school of Treitschke could not be expected to SC that, for they despised political fredom."

MORAL PROSPERITY

Baron Takahashi, Japans finance minister recently warned the mem bers of the Japan Trade Association that they should pay close attention to the fact that while Japan had gained national prosperity from the war, the other Allies had gained moral prosperity. It was not i'm probable that the Allied peoples by their sufferings and privations had more than offset their material losses by their moral progress.
 Japan, said the minister had placed her goods abroad largely. be cause foreign customers could not get what they wanted from other countries. There had been com plaints of the quality of goods ex- ported from Japan, and everything should be done to keep up thestand- ard. He suggested that individual activity in trade and industries should be systematically trained and organized.

EXPRESS RAVES
 MAY BE REDUCED

ANCHORAGE--Express rates be- tween Seward and Anchorage will be studied with view to lowering them by C. s. Crider, of Seattle, route agent of the American Rail. way Express, as a result of repre- Sentations made by William Gerig, engineer in charge of the Anchor age division of the government rail road.
 Since the close of navigation this season at Anchorage express pack ages addressed to Anchorage have been brought from Seward over the government railroad. For this selv- ice the railroad has charged the ex- press company $240 per 100 pounds; or .O24 per pound.
 The express company charges it's patrons 25 cents pound, or @25 per 100 pounds. for packages be- tween Seward and Anchorage. 1hi, IS the same charge the expIes; com pany made for packages last winter when it had to transport them for considerable distances by dor sled.

CARTHAGE AND ROME

The bishop of Durham has found an historical precedent for the sur render of the German fleet in the pages of Livy. That ancient chron- i~ler tells how, as the article of the peace agreement which ended the scond Punic war, Carthage had to surrender t0 Rome the whole of her battle fleet.
 Rome, the article points out, was the great military power and Car thage was the great naval power of antiquity, just as Germany and England in modern times. Rome beat Carthage-the soldier beat the sailor. In the conflict Rome re- Vealed an extraordinary adapta- bility for naval warfare, and Car thage grave internal weakness
 "The German writer's" the Man chester Guardian comments, 'an- ticipated a similar course for a war between England and Germany. They were confident that the Ger man military mind applied to naval warfare would prove it's superiority to the English and that England, put to the test, would be proven rotten--a great Illusion"
 Explaining why the parallel of antiquity was deceptive. the Guard ian proceeds:
 "lt should not too hastily be assumed that the British navy dis played an intellectual superiority derived from long tradition which no young navy could hope to over come. We are on safe ground if we say that the German navy, un- like the navy of ancient Rome showed itself singularly wooden and unadaptable. Sir David Beatty has
