Without definite assurances that
President wilson's recommended az

Congress. liquor dealers of New York
and the rest OF the country are facing
what some of them describe as sheer
ruin. In spite of the cessation Of dis

Inquiry yesterday among a number Of

feeling In the trade. Some OF those in

Presidents recommendation might be
acted upon before the date which 10
specified under the law as II stands at
present as marking the end OF retail and
wholesale selling alike. but these limited
optimists were in a distinct minority.
Men connected with the larger con-

OPPOSES REPEAL OF
WAR TIME DRY ACT
Senator Jones Sees No Chance
for Modification.

WARRINGTON, Juno b.--senator Jones
Of Washington in an address tonight
before the national convention Of the
Anti-saioon League OF America said he
had been assured by many Senators who
were opposed to prohibition that mas
much as II was now written into the Con
stitution as an expression OF popular
will they would oppose any legislation
for the repeal OF the provision against
beer and light wines in the war time
prohibition act He said he believed,
therefore. there was no possibility Of the
modification Of the act in that respect.
Many Senators who voted against the
prohibition amendment. Senator Jones
said, also had assured him that they
would support measures providing for
the strictest enforcement of national
prohibition.
Representative Fess OF Ohio told the
convention he believed II would be i'm

been informed by the War Department
that rehabilitation OF combatant troope

therefore the need for war time prohibi-

He said the President, therefore. un-

sale OF light wines and beer should not
be prohibited until the constitutional

world. Do you think you can enforce
this against them over night as you can

Mr.. Fitzgerald said II was a question
Of honor; that the prohibitionists had
given the impression that the wartime
act was merely a war measure: that
prohibition was coming to stay in Janu-
AIRY, anyhow. and that II was better TO
repeal the wartime act for 'the few

near future is responsible. many Of the
liquor men. think. for the comparatively
small amount OF buying for future con-
sumption on the part Of individual con-
surners who are obsessed with the idea
that there win still exist ways and
means OF obtaining n supply between
July 1 and the date when the sconstitu-
uonal amendment becomes effective. One
or two liquor men expressed the BELIEF
that IN case Congress fails TO take
action In the meantime, the last week or
ten days Of the month would see flood
of buying orders from the public.
Most OF those who were willing TO dis
cuss the matter yesterday seemed to feel
that their only hope lay in o demonstra-
tion Of public feeling in the matter
which will cause Congress to repeal the
war prohibition measure. Some voiced
a vague hope that the Government
might take over the surplus which will
remain unless there 10 n decided squirt
