! ed In fsrst declaration Of principles
Of Americanism and Democracy"
1.-THE Anti-Saloon League" he said.
began its campaign for state and
national prohibition about 20 years
ago. They started and continued un-
der the cover Of the slogans: Local
Option is another word for American
ism and 1.-The first and last business
Of the Anti-Saloon League is to abof-
ish saloons Repeatedly, at legislative
hearings and at local license elections.
its leaders declared that they were
not trying to force total abstinence
upon the people and that any locality
that wanted the license system
could have 1t, and that they were
simply insisting upon the right of
LOCAL self-goycrnment in licensing
and regulating the liquor traffic.
the movement began with local
option by townships and municipali-
ties. However. when it was found
that the latter were not easily per-
suaded to give a majority for no-li-
cense. prohibition waws forced upon
them through the device Of county
local option, which was designed, not
to permit a free expression of the
sentiment Of each local community,
but to overthrow 1t where need be.
THE strategy of the League was,
first to win the rural states and
then to stifle the opposition in the
Industrial states by capturing the
rural units which controlled their
legislatures. Whenever this has been
accomplished, the League has fought
bitterly against giving the people a,
large any vote whatever on the pro-
hibition question but has forced pro-
hfbition through by legislative enact
ment.
THE Anti-Saloon League adopted
the same tactics in its congressional
campaign. Dry states and dry dis
trtcts were easily persuaded to de-
mand dry congressman. and as the
recent vote on daylight saving clear
~ showed. the urban representation
Is outnumbered two to one in both
houses of Congress. To secure the
submission of the National Prohibi-
ton amendment to the Constitution
was simple matter, so far as Con-
gress was concerned. The adoption
OF 1t by the state legislative bodies
was aided largely by the war, which
threw all other issues into insienifi-
canoe. Many legislators voted for ii
as a war measure, and many of the
public so understood it.
The War Prohibition Act, which,
was passed after the armistice had
oeen signed. as rider to an agri-
cultural appropriation bill, was z
breach Of faith for which the I.ear,o
was directly responsible. Congress
mad agreed. in submitting the Con-
stitutional Amendment, that the liz
uor trade should have a years grace
after the amendment was adopte,
nut under the lash of the Anti-Sa-
loon League the agricultural bill wos
neid up until a majority was secured

Legion's Attitude
Toward Labor

The attitude OF the american Lee
gion toward organ ized labor has
been made very plain in a circular
letter which has been issued by the
National commander Of the Legion,
Franklin D'Olier through the office
of James L. Boyle, adjutant Of the
Legion in Maine. The circular gives
the preamble to the constitution of
the Legion, the part referring to or
ganized labor being as follows:
1.-The members If organized labor
are patriotic American citizens and
the members of the American Legion
are patriotic American citizens who
have proven their patriotism and 10y
atty. Consequently. on the purposes
of the American Legion both they
and we are in accord. Many of our
most loyal members are members of
organized labor. ana it is our hope
that we may be able to convince
every eX-service man who is n men,
Der of orga nizcd labor that our pur-
poses are the same as loyal citizens
and that every x-service man in Or
ganized labor will join the American
Legion. All ex-service men who are
members of organized labor have
proven their loyalty and their patri-
otism to the country and now appre-
ciate their responsibilities as citi-
zens. and we therefore hope it will
not be long before they all are active
members Of the American Legion"
Another letter calls attention to
the situation in regard to the hos
pital care and treatment of tuburcu-
lar discharged soldiers and sailors by
the Public Health Service and asks
the aid Of the American Legion in
locating sanitoria. where such cases
may be cared for and which will
conform in every way to the best
modern medical standards.

Senator Slmmone q Hitchcock support
er. also stated that the Nebraska SEN
ator would continue in charge Of tho
treaty on the Democratic side.
After his conference with senators,
Mr.. Bryan In talk with newspapermen
emphasized his belief that a large ma
jority of the American people desire
immediate ratification.
Prompt action. he said. would accom-
plsh these two things:
First, it would take the Question out
Of politics and permit both parties to
turn their attention to very important
domestic issues. Second. an agreement
would permit ratification by a larger
majority than in any other way and
that would give the greatest possible
weight to our action and influence
abroad"
His previously expressed suggestion
that the Democrats Of the Senate with
hold their votes and let the Republic
cans ratify the treaty with their res
ervations, Mr.. Bryan said, should only
be last resort if compromise negotia-
lions failed.
IAN appeal could be made TO the
country" he continued, Ito reverse m
the league of the nations any action
taken by the Senate to authorize res
torations Of any provision stricken out.
And in my opinion the Democrats could
make a much more skillful fight before
the people for authority to restore than
it can for authority to retain provisions
if it must share responsibility with the
Republicans for IA months delay.
II believe We can put the Republican
party on the defensive by proposing An
immediate compromise II compromise Is
possible. and second. by throwing the
responsibility on the Republicans for
immediate action if compromise is i'm
possible
Asked whether he believes the Pres
ident could approve compromise Of
reservations, MIR. Bryan answered: Il
do not know that anybody is authorized
to say what the President will accept
and l don't think it is fair to ask in
advance what he will accept or for him
to suggest changes that would put him
where he might be accused of a breach
of faith"

the African lion rather than the noun
