The law. the President said
provides the ban shall be lifted
not with the signing of peace, but
with the termination of the de-
mobilization of troops. His ad-
vices from the War Department,
he added. are that there are still
100000 men in service under the
emergency call and since Congress
failed to repeal the law in so far
AS IL applies to wines and beer,
the President finds it Impossible
to act" at this time or hereafter
until rehabilitation is terminated.
Message to TumuIty.
The Presidents message to Tum-
ulty follows:
Il am convinced that the ATTORNEY
General is right in advising me that
nave no legal power at this time
IN the matter of the ban on ljouor
Under the act of November. 1s1. INV
power TO take action is restricted
me act provides that after June
ID. 1873. until the conclusion Of the
VI until the
termination of demobilization. the
date of which shall be determined
and proclaimed by the President. il
shall be unlawful etc.
This law does not specify that the
ban shas be lifted with the signing
or peace. but with the termination
Of demobilization of troops. and 7
can not say That that has been ac-
complished
My information from the War
Department is that there are STIR,
l,Oo.CW men in service, under the
emergency call. 1t is clear, therefor,
that the failure of Congress to act
upon the suggestion contained in nv
message of the twentieth. of NAV
1919. asking for a repeal of the act
OF November z. 1918. so far as II an
plies to wines and beer, makes II i'm
possible TO act in this matter at this
time. ''S
When rehabilitation is terminated
my power to act without conpres-
sional action will be exercised

IRISH PROBLEMS
MAY HALTPE
Senator Has Resolution De-
claring Emerald Isle a
Sovereign State.

A resolution declaring ireland to be
a free and independent state has been
prepared in the Senate TO be offered
as an amendment 20 the peace treaty.
The resolution provides:
That that portion of the British
Empire known as the island OF Ire
land is hereby recognized as a free
and sovereign state"
Senator Ashurst made this an
nouncement yesterday. asserting that
he had been shown a copy of the res
olution by the Senator who purposes
to introduce it. He declined to di-
vulse the name of the Senator who
has the resolution in hand.
The possibilities attendant upon the
presentation of such a resolution in
the peace treaty discussion would be
very great This is especially true in
view OF the fact that the Borah reso-
luton urging recognition of the Irish
delegates at the Peace Conference
passed the Senate by a vote of 90 to i.
While majority Of such proper
tions might not be recorded in favor
OF a resolution recognizing Ireland's S
freedom. yet it is conceded that a
majority of the Senate in all proba-
bility would favor it.
Another thing that would most GER
tainly follow the introduction of a
resolution of this nature would be a
vigorous protest from the British gov
ernment against its consideration by
the Senate. Such a protest IL made.
however. would in all likelihood add
to the fervor of the anti-Irish senti-
ment which Is growing in Congress-

the sundry civil appropriation bill an
appropriation of 500. 600 for the con-
tinuance Of the United States En-
ployment Service during the next two
months.
Legislation for the permanent
establishment of the service will be
acted upon by that time, it is be-
lievd. The House had previously Or
dered the abandonment of the serv-
ice.
Congress made slow progress to-
day toward completing the three big
appropriation bills which are to
provide money for the government,
beginning July l.
After more than eight hours de-
bate the Senate expected several
more hours of talking before pas
sage of the sundry civil bill.
After that. it goes to conference.
where House members are expected
to protest Senate increases amount
ing to nearly $500. 600. 900.
Conference committees worked
with the army and navy bills all
day but with little headway. House
and Senate members of the military
committees fought several hours
over the s55.0O0.O00 aviation item
and the provision empowering the
Secretary of War to spend several
million dollars to buy camp sites.
Conferees' on the naval bill COM
promised on S25.0O0.000 for naval

Board Of Trade to Finance
Plan Suggested by John
G. McCrath to Put Food
On Market at Low Prices.
MAY STORE SUPPLIES
In SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Propose to Put Staple Com
modities on Local Market
At s. Per Cent Below
Present Rates Within
Next Ten Days.

The Board of Trade will finance
the plan suggested by John G. Nc
Grath to give the Washington pub
lie an opportunity to buy at ex-
ceptionally low prices part of the
42.ooo,ooo pounds of the excess food
supply of the army.
Assurance Of this was given last
night by President Walter A. Brown,
who will call a special meeting of
Board of Trade directors to take up
the plan.
Il believe that the Board of Trade
will furnish the money gladly" said
Mr.. Brown.
A meeting of the board of di-
rectors was to have been held with
in ten days. but in order to get the
quickest possible action ON the food
plan, 1t will be called within a few
days. Mr.. Brown said.
Commissioners Approved.
With assurance of financial back
ing by the Board of Trade. the only
obstacle holding up the food pro-
ject is considered removed. The
District Commissioners heartily in
dorse the-plan and have given as
surance that store space will be
found, gratis, to distribute the food.
Mr.. McGrath has suggested that
sections of the public school build
ings. now unoccupied, be used for
store purposes. Apparently there
is no official opposition to this.
Mr.. McGrath, who is employed at
the Treasury Department, has VOL
unteered to take a months leave for
the purpose of organizing the food
distribution.
1t is believed that a plan similar
to one now operating in Baltimore,
will be devised. By the Baltimore
plan, civic organizations have ta-
ken over the work.
IS Per Cent Below Market.
With a consignment of the army
food here, Washingtonians will be
able to buy such food as canned
goods, bacon and other imperish-
able articles for prices averaging 35
per cent below market quotations.
The food is of first-class quality.
This Is attested to by Baltimoreans.
