VETS DROP PLAN
FOR REPEAL VOTE
ON WAR DRY LAW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Anti-
prohibition leaders in congress today
stated that virtually all plans to
force a vote on the repeal of war
time prohibition before constitutional
prohibition becomes effective have
been abandoned.
Responsibility of ending wartime
prohibition now rests with the pres
ident. Relief was expressed by sew
eral that he has the power to end
the war drought" under the supreme
court decision, by a proclamation.
Should congress declare peace he
would have to state that the army
is demoblized before the ban could
be lifted.
Since the overwhelming defeat in
the house agriculture committee re-
Gently of the bill repeating wartime
prohibition, the "wets" have been
busy seeking in some way to get the
repeater up before the house,
Representative Stephens, Ohio, was
planning to move to discharge the
agriculture committee from consider
alton of the bill. He has found that
even if the house agreed to this, the
bill would have to take it's place at
the foot of the calendar and could
not be acted upon before the date
constitutional prohibition becomes a
reality.
The most that the vets could hope
for from congress would be eleven
wet days, as both houses today re-
cessed until January 5. The prohibit
ton majority in the house is such
that a special rule will be impossi-
BILE.
81 believe congress is guilty of bad
faith if the liquor interests are not
to be allowed to dispose of their
stocks" Representative Stephens
said. when the constitutional amend
ment was passed the drys agreed to
give a year to get rid of the liquor
in the country.
But wartime prohibition may
take away more than half of that pc
riod, when congress could in a day
repeal it. The purposes for which
the act was passed have been salts
fed, even if the legal ending is not
yet possible.
THE main hope I now see for the
vets is for the Ohio referendum
overriding the action of the state
legislation in ratifying the constitu-
tional amendment. Should the su-
preme court uphold this, the twelve
would have the right to overrule the
ratification, which would then not be
legal"
