Wilson'S War Acts l
Criticised Sharply

Continued From Page One.)
as we'll as on the advice of its ad-
visory commission.
"The advisory commission Of
seven men was throughout the war
composed of at least three and prob
ably four republicans, as was the
huge majority of the councils conf
mittees. The councils minutes,
which / furnished to Mr.. Graham's
committee with the hearty consent
of Secretary Baker, chairman Of the
council and voluntarily supplemented
with those of the advisory commit
tee, disclosed beyond any question
that the council had in the most
conservative way looked far ahead
into the immediate future to the end
of preparing the country for war.
at is my deliberate judgment
that if the council, utilizing the
greatest experts in the leading in
dustries and utilizing them in a
wholly nonpartisan way, had not
taken its forehanded steps America
would not have laid in time the
foundation for mobilizing its indus
trial resources which made possible
the winning of the war.
@ Matter Decided Long Ago.
"The councils minutes having dis
closed these facts to Mr.. Graham,
he addressed himself to the coun-
ellis system of procuring supplies
for the War department. That mat
ter was threshed out long ago be-
fore the senate military affairs COM
mittee and the intimation against
OF the councils commit
tee on supplies died of their own
weight at the end of the hearings
more than a year ago., Council
committee members under the
stress of unprecedented emergency
were undoubtedly in some cases
placed in the apparent position of
doing business with themselves,
whereas that never was actually the
fact and not a scintilla of wrong
doing was ever disclosed and it is
believed that the law was complied
with throughout.

Minority Advises

mittee upon three principal ground
and challenged the power of con
gress to pass it because in defining
Intoxicating liquors it went beyont
the original act and was therefor,
new legislation. III.
On the general question of tn.
wartime act and its enforcement thu
minority report held: ~
THAT the provisions for the en-.
forcen1ent of wartime prohibition
carry definition of Intoxicating
liquors which extends the prohibi.
ton beyond that of the original &C,
and to that extent is new legislation
which congress has not the right
now to pass under the war power
We believe the original act should
be repealed.
Have Concurrent Power
That as to constitutional prohi-
bition section two of the amend
ment provides that
""The congress and the several
states shall have concurrent power
to enforce this article by appropri-
ate legislation, and the bill pre-
scented is wholly upon the theory
that the action of congress is SUI
preme and totally ignores the con-
current power of the several states.
That the bill goes beyond the
prohibitions of the constitutional
amendment, in defining intoxicat-
ing liquors so as to include bev-
erages that are not in fact intox-
icating."
The views of the minority as to
enforcement of the wartime act
we're set forth as follows:
THE provisions for enforcement
Of the war prohibition act con-
tanned a definition of Intoxicating
liquor which is in effect new leg
islation. The act of November 81,
1918, prohibited the sale of distilled
spirits for beverage purposes and
also beer, wine or other intoxicat-
ing malt or vinous liquor for bev-
erage purposes. In the recent cases
in New York, where this statute
was construed, it was held that only
intoxicating beverages were inc1ud-
ed and that beer containing us
per cent of alcohol by weight was
within the statute only if intoxicat-
ing, which was to- be determined as
other questions of fact.
whether or not the original act
Of November Fl, 1918, can be sus-
tanned as valid under the war pow
er, it seems to US that at this date,
Under the peace conditions that now
exist, congress is wholly without
power to extend the provisions of
that act so as to include all bev-
erages which contain in excess OF
of one per cent of alcohol
and call them intoxicating"

fact alone gives one an inkling Of the
