PROHIBITION FIGHT
MAY AID Wilson'S
LEAGUE PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Presi-
dent Wilson's treaty plank may be
the chief gamer from the anticipat-
ed prohibition fight at the Demo-
cratic convention, 1t was believed in
administration quarters here today.
1t was further intimated that a
plan of strategy aimed to make the
treaty the beneficiary of the liquor
row has gone to San Francisco and
may be employed if necessary.
Broadly the plan as explained here
is to allow wet and dry factions,
foes, to get worked up" over pro-
.libition and then bring the treaty
blank before the convention. If the
Two liquor factions show signs OF
combining on the treaty question,
then the administration forces will
still be in a position to make a trade
of strength with one side or the 9TH

not believe such tactics will have to
be used for the treaty, plank, they
have put themselves in the position
where they can use them IL neces-

being lukewarm on the treaty. But
they have more interest in liberia

Once the Bryan and wet forces get
into a prohibition battle, administra'
ton leaders believe the bitterness en-
gendered will precent their combin
ing on the treaty question. .
If such combination shoule

is to forestall it by swinging suffi
cient strength to either the vets OF
drys to give one faction majority
in exchange for that factions sup

plank.
Such a trade would be made pos
