no CONCESSIONS BY WILSON
White House Says Senate Must Bow
to Presidents VIII on German
Peace Treaty.

ashington.-President Wilson has
INTERVIEWED in the Peace Treaty dilem-
ma with an announcement that he had
mo compromise or concession OF any
kind in mind" would make no move
toward the treaty's disposition. and
would continue to hold the Republican
members Of the senate responsible for
results and conditions attending the
delay.
The Presidents position, regarded as
peculiarly significant in view Of the re-
cent discussion in the senate CT COM
promise, was set forth in the follow
the White House:
1T was learned from the highest au-
thority at the executive office that the
hope of the Republican leaders OF the
senate that the President would pres
emily make some move which will re-
iieve the situation with regard to the
treaty is entirely without foundation;
he has no compromise or concession
Of any kind in mind, but intends, so
publican leaders of the senate shall
continue to bear the undivided respOn-
sibility for the fate of the treaty and
the present condition OF the world in
consequence OF that fate"
The White House statement appar-
emily had no effect in changing the
treaty situation. Democratic leaders,
indorsing the Presidents views, de-
clared that it did not preclude a SEN
ate compromise, and that compromise
efforts would proceed. Republican
leaders reiterated that the President
was responsible for the present stat
US, and must make the first move to-
ward a solution. Only those senators
hoping to kill the treaty altogether
expressed satisfaction
On one point only, apparently, ali
the senate factions were in harmony
namely, that decisive action on the
treaty probably would be deferred uli-
til next month, after the proposed holt
day recess OF congress, planned to end
in January. Senate debate, probably
conferred about the White House state
ment, is expected to be reopened,
with fresh Vigor. The Democratic
compromise campaign also is to be
pressed, according to Senator Hitch
cock Of Nebraska, administration lead
er, but, unless some unexpected de-
Yelopment comes this week, The lead
ers believe tn finale cannot be reach
ed until next month

CANADA HOLDS NEwsPRlNT

Ottawa, Can.-An order in council
has been passed giving power to Z.
H. Pringle, controller of newsprint, to
prohibit the export of paper by any
company which refuses to comply
with his regulations. The order is the
result OF the intimatiOn by a number
OF paper companies that they would
decline to be guided by the newsprint
controllers price fixing and distribu-
ton orders.
1t is said that several large Cana
dian newspapers would probably have
had to cease publication If the con-
trOllers had not been given this power
because of the heavy demand for
news print from American publishers.

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS DRY Law
WBr-TIme Prohibition Declared
Constitutional by Unani-
nous Decision.
HARD BLOW TO LIQUOR MEN
Sig Supplies Held in Bonded Ware
houses Denied Domestic Market
Says President Could Act.

Washington.-By unanimous deci-
sion the constitutionality OF the war
time prohibition act was sustained by
the supreme court. The opinion Civ
en- by Associate Justice Brandeis held
ed dry" period still may be termi-
mated by presidential proclamation Of
rehabilitation.
In rendering its opinion, the court,
however, did not act on the validity Of
the VOlstead prohibition enforcement
act or on appeals involving the al
coholic content Of beer, leaving those
cases to future opinions which may
be handed down next Monday before
the court recesses for the Christmas
holidays. The decision practically
swept away all hopes OF a wet
Christmas, as the possibilities Of the
wartime act being repealed before
constitutional prohibition becomes ef-
fective were considered remote
Two Cases Passed Upon.
The cases decided were those Of the
Kentucky DistilIeries and Warehouse
Company Of Louisville, KY, and Dry
instituted for the purpose Of COMPEL
ing the government to release whisky
from bond. In both cases the court
denied contentious Of Elihu Root,
and other attorneys for the distillers,
that the act in violation of the con-
stitution takes private property with
out just compensation; that the per-
iod Of the war emergency for which
the act was passed had terminated:
that the law was an interference with
the state police powers and an undue
exercise of the war powers OF con
Sress.
Congress did not intend the war
time act to terminate on the conelu-
sion Of the war, but at the end Of the
period OF rehabilitation, in the view
OF the court, which held that the con
clusion Of the war clearly did not
mean cessation of hostilities.''
Congress therefore provided" the
opinion added, that the time when
the act ceased to be operative should
be fixed by the presidents ascertain
ing and proclaiming the date when the
rehabilitation had terminated.
