As a Democrat. who has made bitter

declared, would be breach of faith and

OPINION REFERS

ONFRU|T JUICES
Congress Intent Was to
Prohibit Sale, But Not
Manufacture in Home.
Decision Is in Direct
oCnlfict With Internal
Revenue Regulations.
Conflict With Internal

Washington, Dec. 18.-Use of
cider in the home by it's manu-
facturer, even after it has be-
come Intoxicating by fermenta-
ton, is lawful, and without the
bounds of the prohibition en-
forcement act, according to an
opinion submitted to the secre-
tary of the treasury by Attorney
General Palmer, made public
Saturday.
The opinion is in direct conflict with
regulations of the bureau of internal rev
enue, which states that homemade cider
must be "non-intoxicating i'll fact al
though not necessarily containing less
than one-half of one per cent alcohol.
Opinion Given Houston.
Secretary Houston asked for an opin-
ion as to whether the term i'non-intoxi-
eating cider and fruit juices" mean
notwithstanding in fact or containing
less than one-half of one per cent alco-
hol The phrase occurs i'll section -
of the prohibition act, which permits the
manufacture of non-intoxicating cider
for use in the home without a permit.
In answer, the attorney general held
that the expression means containing
less than one-half Of one per cent, but
added:
In view, however, of what I under
stand section % to mean, ! am sure
it would be misleading for me to con
tent myself with this direct answer te
your question"
Prohibit Sale; Not Making.
Congress intended by section % to
prohibit the sale, but not the manufae-
ture Of intoxicating cider for use in the
home, the opinion said.
Congress seems to have recognized
the peculiar nature of cider" the at
torney general declared. When the juice
of apples is pressed out the immediate
result is cider When this is done an
intoxicating liquor even within the def
milton of the prohibition act, has not
been produced But fermentation very
shortly sets in, producing alcohol anc
all that is necessary TO convert the
cider into an intoxicating liquor is the
lapse of a short time. Section ~ has
manifestly sought to make it clear that
it was not intended that one who manu-
featured cider and kept it in his home
for beverage purposes until it fermentec
would be guilty of possessing intoxicating
liquors unlawfully," the opinion stated

Door Is Closed.
In his reply sent Saturday, the prime
minister said:
This attitude closes the door to those
counsels of good will which you invoked
by beginning this correspondence.
Father O'Flannigan's message read:
while sending, through message.
peace and good will to the people OF
ireland, your government has intensi-
fled their fiendish attacks upon our
lives. our liberty and our property.
How hollow your fair words read in
the newspapers sandwiched in between
the burning Of Cork and the murder of
Canon Magnor and Timothy Orwley.
IF you really wish for peace, allow
the constitution adopted by the Irish
people at the last general election to
perform its legitimate functions and act
Of violence will soon become as rare in
Ireland as in any the most peaceful ma
tions of the world. Then arrange the
with the official head of Irish republic
President de Valera. This is the orl,
possible road 10 that reconciliation VII
vitally interests both nations
Mr.. Lloyd George replied as follows:
II had hoped that with moderation
and common sense on both sides ii
might have been possible to reach an
understanding which would put a stop
to strife in ireland and pave the way
to a reconciliation. You now imply that
in your judgment the only road to peace
is the recognition Of an Irish republic
and the negotiation Of treaty with some
one designate as the official head of
that republic.
Il have never failed to make it clear
that there is no possibility of a settle
ment so long as the Sim Fein demands
an Irish republic and that though / am
willing to explore every avenue toward
an honorable. constitutional settlement
there is no road to peace so long as
the Sim Fein persists in trying to
compel any settlement by means of as
sassination and violence. The only way
to peace is that the leaders of the Sim
Fein should recognize these fundamental
facts Their present policy is only lead
ing ireland ever nearer to chaos and
ruin.
Il deeply regret that you should close
the door to those counspls of good will
which you invoked at the beginning OF
this correspondence"
