VETS ARE ARRAYED
AGAINST DRY LAW
MANY SOUTHERN VOTES WILL
GO TO MEASURE AIMED At
VoLSTEAO ACT REPEAL
CLAIM LAW IS NOT ENFORCED
Generally Believed, However, That Act
Will Be Modified, But Not
Repealed

Washington.-The vets of the ma
ton are beginning to marshal theil
forces in Washington with a determin
ed purpose in view to repeal the Vol
stead act and to substitute for it less
drastic legislation. going as far as fol
light wines and beers as practicable
under the eighteen amendment.
The repeal bill was introduced by
Congressman John Philip Hill of the
Third Maryland district, and it will
have the support of the larger per
centage of the delegations from the old
wet states of the east, such as Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey and of the central west,
such as Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. 1t
will have the support of most of the
California delegation and of other
coast states.
AS much as the statement may seem
Incredible, the repeaI bill will find SUBJ
stantial support among Southern dele
cations, not confined either to Mary
land and Kentucky, and yet it is not
probable that a straight repeal bill can
pass. 1t is more probable, however,
that the Volstead act may be strength
ened by amendments before the ses-
sion adjOurns.
The whole fight will hinge on the
question of state referendums. There
is movement already begun toward
referendum on the Volstead act and
that it will figure to a large extent
in the congressional elections of 1922
is now inevitable. That the fragrant
lack of enforcement not only in the So
called "moonshine sections of the
South" but throughout the nation, cou-
pied with the wake of disease and
death that is following the almost open
sale everywhere of poisonous bootleg
connections. have materially weakened
respect for the Volstead act as ade-
quate legislation, and has evolved a
more liberal sentiment toward chem
ically pure light wines and beers, eyK
among ultra prohibitionists, are fa'
that are plainly perceptible in congr@
siOnal circles. 1t is this sentiment
put SIOp 10 NlOldIlOHS VI the COnoR
tutional amendment in letter and Spit
that is giving the greatest encourage
ment to the open advocates of direct
of the enforcement vehicle
and the substitution therefor of Law
that shall remove in a great measure
the incentive for violations.
AS outlined, however, this congress
may amend, but it will hardly. REM

FRANCE ACCEPTS
AMERICAN RIGHT
REPLY TO NOTE OF SECRETARY
HUGHES ON zap MANDATE
so INTERPRETED
PLEDGES ALL POSSIBLE AID
Fired With Greatest Zeal To Satisfy
U. S. Government. Premier
BRAND Declares

Notwithstanding French reply t.
Secretary Hughes notes regarding
mandates. the only one thus far recely
ed from any of the four great powers
addressed was made public simultane
Ously in Washington and Paris. 1t is
i'm the form OF a letter from Premier
BRAND to Ambassador Wallace and is
OF a preliminary nature, NJ. BRAND stat
ing that full response could not be
made until after an understanding
has been reached between the govern
ments of the four interested powers
at the next meeting of the supreme
council of the allies"
The reply was issued by the state
department without comment, but ad-
ministration officers said it was very
agreeable to the United States, and,
while not an absolute commitment,
was couched in diplomatic language
that was tantamount to a recognition
of the principle laid down by Mr..
Hughes.
The French premier deals directly
with the Japanese mandate over the
Pacific island of zap, but does not
advert specifically to the American
claim to equal rights with the other
principal allied and associated powers
in the disposition of the former Ger
man overseas possessions.
With regard to zap, NJ. BRAND says
that when this question comes before
the supreme council the representa-
tives of France will breach the exami-
nation thereof with the greatest de-
sire to find a solution which will give
every satisfaction to the United
States"
NJ. BRAND reminds Ambassador Wal
lace that the French republic has al
ready done all in it's power to lend its
aid to the American government in this
matter and refers to a previous eX-
preston by the French government of
the hope that the controversy may be
satisfactorily settled by conversations
between the American and japanese
governments.
Reference also is made to an I'M
published French note to the United
States regarding zap, in which France
confirms that at meetings of the SUI
preme council before that of May 7,
1919. when a mandate for the northern
Pacific islands was awarded to Japan,
reservations regarding the island of
Yap were made by President Wilson
and by Secretary Lansing in addition
That note also saysMth6ttthe Teserva-
tions were made in heSpresence of the
of Japan, Baron Maxine,
who had not objected that the question
raised should be placed in discussion
and that consequently the Japanese
was cognizant of the
American reservations.

DAN FOR FOREIGN TRADE
u Is Stated That The Shipment OF
Thirty Thousand Bales OF Cot
ton Is Involved

Neutrality-suspicious. Of an appli
cation for a loan OF two million dol
lars for financing cotton exports has
been announced by the war finance
corporation.
Export OF thirty thousand bales OF
cotton to England. France. Italy, Por-
tugal, Japan and Germany is involved
in the transaction. according to Eu-
gene Meyer. director Of the corpora
ton.
The application. Mr.. Meyer added,
was a direct result Of a recent confer
ence in New Orleans with Southern
bankers.
Application for the loan. he said,
was made by an export financing
corporation. Discussing the recent
conferences in Washington, Atlanta
and New Orleans, with exporters.
manufacturers and bankers, Mr. Meyer
declared the results were considered
satisfactory by all concerned. The
most important result, he said, was
that the bankers are going to APP
proach the problem of exporting cot
ton and other Southern products from
a new pc-nt of view and in a more en-
eTgetic manner.
Discussion developed, he continued,
that in the general opinion stocks of
manufactured goods in the hands of re-
tailers and wholesalers, as well as
manufacturers, are generally speaking,
very low in this country and abroad.
1t is not, however, within the prov
ince of the war finance corporation to
attempt to influence business, Mr..
Meyer asserted, or even to advise bust
ness men how to conduct their bust
nesses."
1T would SEEM Mr.. Meyer said,
"opportune at this moment for mer-
chants to consider whether or not con-
ditions in the consuming market, and
in the present price levels of materi.
ais and finished goods carried by mer
chants and manufacturers.

city, tablet has been placed bear
ing the simple inscription "Aeroplane
Bomb. January 80. 1918" The min
istry of war has had tablets placed
ON the walls of the housese near which
the first and last bombs of the war
fell in Paris, and it seems to be the
general custom for private individuals
to mark with some simple inscription
the various points of the capital where
damage was done by the German shells
or bombs.

PRESIDENT MOVES
To REDUCE LIVING
REPORT BY FEDERAL TRADE COM.
MISSION RECOMMEND END TO
OPEN PRICE ASSOCIATIONS
HARDING GIVES OUT REPORT
High Price OF Fuel, High Rents And
Unnecessary Middlemen
Are Blamed

Washington.-The administration is
carrying into action its conviction that
artificial restraints which keep up
prices must be removed, and that the
consumer must benefit more directly
by cheaper prices for basic commodi-
| ties.
Publicity, with the implied warning
| that profiteering must stop and combi-
nations violating the spirit or letter
of the law voluntarily disband, are the
weapons thus far utilized.
Attorney General Daugherty recently
modestly but firmly suggested, through
the press, that certain combinations
risking prosecution under the anti
trust laws, had best mend their ways
before the government is forced to
act. Secretary of Commerce Hoover
has recently declared freight rates
must come down and has frankly dis
cussed in public the need of other re-
adjustments tending to stabilize living
costs.
Now President Harding has made
public a report by the federal trade
commission answering inquiries he
made some weeks ago to determine
why the consuming public is not ade-
quately enjoying the beneficial results
of the deflation in prices of most agri-
cultural products at their source. The
report is striking in itself, but is the
more so because of the presidents de-
cision to make it public without COM
ment, that the people generally, as
well as business, might know of con-
ditions reported to him.
As exclusively stated in these dis
patches recently, the president, in seek
ing information on the subject, acted
in the conviction that lowered living
costs must be effected before business
conditions could be properly stabilized.
He reiterated this belief in his mes
sage to congress, mentioning specifi-
cally the existence of so-called open
price associations" held by the fed
eraI trade commission to be a factor
in maintaining high price levels. These
organizations, the president added,
Operate evidently within the law, to
the very great advantage of their
members, and equal disadvantage to
the consuming public" He urged
some suitable inquiry by congress-"
the same to be conducted without
the spirit of hostility or haste in ac-
cusation of profiteering."
When the president first launched |
his inquiry on tbs subject, he did SO
or information that living costs not
only had not reached commensurately
with the deflation of prices in basic
agricultural products, but that sim
liar situation existed in regard to
textiles leather fuel, building mate
rails and most metals.
In response to his request for gen
sral, though not statistical facts from
he trade commission, both as to the
causes and remedies for existing con-
litions, the commission submitted
striking conclusions, which will be
brought out in a few days.

Boston, Mass.-Bishop William Law.
renee, in his annual address to the
Massachusetts diocesan council of the
Episcopal church recently oeplored
the number of clergymen who were
mixing business with holy orders to

startling, he said, and the condition
is one which he regarded as symptom

devotion, industry, self.sacrifice and
efficiency. UNLESS there is bracing
up of public sentiment, respect for holy
orders will Decline" he said.
