A Few Remarks

WASHINGTON, June 27. - The question of whether the president would have the power to repeal wal : time prohibition by declaring demo- bilization complete was discussed m the house today by Representative Hoch. republican, of Kansas.
 There seems to be a general be- lief" Mir. Eoch said, that the presi- dent not only has the power to repe.il the act but intends to do so Never theless, it is certain that the president has no moral or legal right to repeal the act. He lacks the moral right because both branches of congress and the country at large expressed in no uncertain terms affects the sale On light wines and beer.
 Neither has he the legae right to repeal the act. That cannot be done until demobilization is terminated and certainly he cannot state in good faith that demobilization is complete when hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stI in the service

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Signing of the peace treaty without reserva- ton by the Chinese delegates would have resulted in enonomic domination of the entire Shantung peninsula by Japan, even though Japan restored Shantung peninsula and Kiao Chau to China as her ministers promised, ac- cording to Prof. E. T. Williams, Berke ly, who was far eastern adviser to the American delegation at Paris.
Arizona republican., 1919-06-28

WASHINGTON, June 2. - An nouncement by the Chinese peace dele gation in Paris today that China would not sign the peace treaty is in line with instructions sent the delegation several weeks ago by the Chinese government. These instructions were to refuse to sign the treaty unless some reservation was permitted as to Japan's sovereignty over the Shantung peninsula, acquired by Germany under the treaty of 1897.
 Failure of China to sign the treaty, officials explained, will probably ex- clude her from the league of nations, including certain rights of redress un der the covenant, as well as work to her detriment in the resumption of trade.

The Y. M. c. A.

The drive which has been instituted to raise
$4,000 for the Y NJ c. A. in this city has already
an excellent start. Phoenix and vicinity cannot af-
ford to let fall short of complete success and they
will not. We what the Y. NJ. e. A. has done for
Phoenix. We that there has been no other
influence which has accomplished so much for the
material as well as the moral betterment of the COM
punity.
The y NJ. c. A. is factor for character building
standing for clean wholesome, vigorous men of moral
and physical backbone, equipped to make the kind
Of citizens the country needs
The Phoenix Y. Nj. C. A. has outgrown its facili-
lies for accomplishing the most 1t could go on with
its present facilities doing more and more than it
has ever done before, but it would not be able to
embrace fully the larger opportunities which, the
growing community presents. 1t would not be able
to meet fully rapidly increasing need for its serv
ice. That is why this $4,000 is needed.
But money is not all it needs. There was never
the slightest doubt that the would be raised. The
YM c. A. needs also the hearty friendly support Of
the community 1t is not mere machine, an institu-
ton 1t is something with heart and soul, whose
accomplishments will be increased by sympathy.
Here is a matter of which we hesitate to speak,
The Y NJ c. A. in the war did not escape criticism
very large number of returning soldiers have made
nvidous comparison between the Y. NJ. c. A. and
other organizations engaged in war work. Though
The itself declared that these criticisms
we're unwarranted and that the work of the Y. NJ c.
A. in the camps and at the front noble, the ef-
feet throughout the country has been temporarily
damaging to that organization. There are several
things that the public does not understand; that the
organization for work was temporary and hastily
formed; that the work larger and of different
character from that undertaken by other organiza-
tons But all this will be better understood
But supposng, though it is not to be supposed,
the work OF the Y NJ. c. \. in France warranted the
criticism that has been directed against it, surely we
have before u.s. around and behind u.s. the achieve
ments Of our own Y. NJ. c. A. We have its splen-
did unbroken. unselfish record OF years. 1t is an
essential part OF Phoenix Of moral religious, social

should be released bail if ALL Thus Mexico has
yielded nothing, has made concession. The
eventuality has been such it might have been ten
minutes after the of AIR. Jenkins before any

Mexico City and Washington. In a sense we are
left holding an empty sack
We don't know what can be done about it now
unless We support the demand of Mr.. Jenkins for
re-incarceraton with the same ferocity with which
we demanded his release. Maybe if we nag at the
Mexican government persstently enough it will put
Mr. Jenkins back behind the bars so that he may be
released unconditionally. In that case we should
