Proposed Amendment to Al
low Beer and Light Wines
Brings Sharp Protest
From Antis

Washington, July o.-The dry"
leaders, who have never deinobilized
their forces since the enactment of
prohibition, are Tightening up their
lines again around congress, fear
full lest beer and light wine amend
ment might slip through as result
of organized revolt against rigid en-
forcement of the Volstead act. An
proposing 5 per cent
beer and IS per cent wine, submitted
by Senator Broussard of Louisiana,
is already tickling the palates of the
"wets" and urging them on to. an
other fight for their "inalienable
rights of appetite. This has prompt
ed the anti-saloon league, through
Wayne B. Wheeler. its general
counsel, to send up a barrage fire
OF protest.
The proposal said Wheeler to-
day, ito amend the definition OF in
toxicating liquors to permit the
manufacture and sale of ) per cent
beer and Is per cent wine is both
legally impossible and indefensible,
in view of the 18th amendment to
the constitution of the United
States. If congress should enact
such law the courts would declare
il unconstitution. Such a standard
of alcoholic content contemplates
strength above that which these bev-
erage ordinarily contained in pre-
prohibition days. -.
The questions Of the proper STAN
dard of alcoholic content which
should be fixed to effectuate the pur-
pose OF the 18th amendment was
thoroughly considered by congress
at the time OF the passage of the
national prohibition act. The STAN
dard which was adopted has since
been approved by the supreme court
of the United States.
"A beer and wine amendment
means the continuance and reopen
ing of the old beer saloon. 1t was
a menace to clean politics and COM
mon decency. The people will never
invite back what they have already
abolished as a public nuisance

Special Cable Dispatch,

London, July 9.-The methods
adopted by Premier Llody George
and the British foreign office for
pushing the campaign for an alliance
of the United States, Great Britain
and Japan in the Pacific is causing
as much mystification in London as
in Washington.
Official or unofficial, some sort of
negotiations are afoot. The foreign
office declared the premier's remark
in the house of commons, in which
he said he hoped to be able to make
an important statement regarding the
Pacific on Monday were unofficial
The foreign office at the same time
announces it hopes for a reply from
Washington.
Yesterdays "hansard" which is the
official verbatim record of speeches
made in the house OF commons, fails
to mention the premier as saying
that he is waiting a reply from Amer
ica before he makes his announce
ment. On the other hand, all the
newspapers record the statement OF
the premier. For instance, the Times
quotes the premier as saying:
II am hopeful to be able to make
a statement on the important subject
of the Anglo Japanese treaty OH
Monday. 1t depends on replies re-
ceived from the United States, Japan
and China.
Edited Out.

interfere with the success of the ne.

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, July 9.-Neyer in the
history of the world has SO much
gold been gathered within the con-
fines Of single country as in the
United States today. The hoard
now amounts to about one-third of
the $lO,OOO0O0,0OO gold coin and
bullion in the world and it is still
growing
Nearly all the world owes us
money and whenever the debtors
are able to pay something on account
our gold increases. 1t will continue
TO grow so long as we sell more than
we buy abroad.
This record-smashing ina the ac-
emulation of gold is an expensive
luxury for US Americans, according
to the economists, who tell us that
the inflow of hetgold to the United
States beginning early in the world
war was an important factor in
cheapening the dollar and increasing
prices.
Whether prices and the purchasing
power of the dollar ever will return
to the prewar level is universal
question which the economists an
swer with the assertion that until
our gold hoard diminishes materially
prices will not decline materially.
Looks for Price Raise.
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale
looks for rise in wholesale prices
and reviving business next fall. Re-
tail prices, he thinks, may continue
to fall for a while longer and then
will begin to rise again for year or
two, after which he looks for a
gradual decline extending over a
long period to the prewar level
eventually or even below, as was the
case between 1879 and 1896.
The Stable Money league i: study
ing the phenomena of price move
ments with view to recommending
legislation to counteract such fuctu-
ations in the purchasing power of the
dollar as have upset industry, COM
merce and household economy in the
last few years.
Professor Fisher proposes to sta
bilize the dollar by increasing its
gold content, where there is tend
ency of gold to depreciate, and de-
creasing its gold content when the
tendency of gold is to appreciate.
Procedure Would Work.
"We know that such procedure
would actually work on the same
principle that the price levels of
Mexico and the United States are in
versely proportionate to the weights
of the gold dollars in the two coun-
tries" he contended at the recent
meeting of the league here.
The American Bankers associa-
ton rejected the Fisher plan on the
ground that when prices tend to
rise rapidly the government might
find it impossible to maintain re-
demption and that when prices tend
to fall our gold reserve would be

Agents" the Daily Express con-
tinues its campaign to induce Great
Britain to curb her ally's mailed fist
policy in the Pacific.
Japanese armaments," say the
Express, "are notoriously out OF all
proportion to the needs of its de-
fense and that fact alone warrants
the great and growing mistrust
everywhere felt over Japan's foreign
policy.
Side by side with the military
and naval preparations, the old Ger
man policy of peaceful penetration
has been thoroughly pursued. China
has been overrun and its people
largely placed under japanese
tutlage. The ways have thus been
prepared for the using of the
enormous man power and the vast
natural resources of China as in
struments for the advancement of
Japan. .......
"At the same time Japanese are
penetrating every corner of the
world. Their agents, tourists, stu
dents and business men have back

omnipotent Japan.
Behind their tireless activity and
acts lies sinister motive, the crea-
