OF our federal government makes Il almost
without the bounds OF possibility that such
an amendment shall ever be abolished. with
thirty-four OF our states under strict pro-

The man OF affairs or the preacher in tbs

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger
Sir--lt cannot be questioned that the most

eight states Of this great nation adopted
prohibition and made It one of the basic
nrincirles Of our constitutional government;
Ine highest tribunal OF the land has passed
Authoritatlvely upon the method OF proceed
ute by which this great achievement was
wrought, and has finally and irTevocahly con
nrmed the validity Of the means employed,
the legality Of the act itself. and, by sweep
ing decisions, has disposed OF as unworthy
snd inapplicable every objection that has
peen legally presented In the desperate at
tehpis OF the vets to have both the amend

(which the house has passed. Among
| the bills passed at the closing session
were the agricultural credits measure,
the shipping board deficiency bill of
.S4S, 500, 900, with its amendment car
rying 100000 for expenses of the dis
armament conference, and the meas
ure extending the dye embargo until
January /.
Chief interest In the senate centered
about the anti-beer bill, which was at
tackled at length by Senators Reed and
Stanley. The dry leaders found by
test votes that the measure could not
be carried, so they allowed it to be
thrown into the discard. They failed
even in their effort to have 1t made
the unfinished business when the
senate The more fanat-
ical of the prohibition leaders are to
be blamed for the failure of this bill,
for they rejected all compromise and
by their stubbornness led the vets
to form a temporary coalition with the
agricultural bloc. The members of
the latter helped kill the anti-beer
measure in return for the support of
the vets for the farm export credits
bill which was in danger of being
caught In the jam and held up In
definitely.
This credits bill empowers the War
Finance corporation to issue $780,
100000 of its own bonds and to lend
S 1,000,0O0,OO0 for financing agricul-
tural exports. The house refused to
agree to senate provisions which
would allow the corporation to lend
directly to European purchasers of
the commodities, but the compromise
will allow the Finance corporation
to lend to anybody, provided satisfac-
tory collateral is furnished to it for
the sums advanced.

The republic Of Panama is officially

territory of Coto. Panama will not

from occupying the district, because
the United States last week told her
that the terms of the White award
must be accepted and that warfare
between Panama and Costa RIGA
would not be permitted. Porras then
had no other curse than to yield,
though his political foes probably will
take advantage of his plight and at
tempt to Gus him from office. 1t is
said they are trying to organize a

Japan has formally accepted the in
vitation to the Washington conference
and its embassy is obtaining accom-
modations for a delegation of about
eighty persons. A large residence, an
office building and a section of one Of
the hotels have been rented. Since
the meeting Of the Japanese diet prob
ably will keep Premier Hara at home,
the Japanese delegation is likely to be
headed by either Foreign Secretary
Uchida or Viscount Chinda. In it's
note of acceptance the japanese gov
eminent expressed the hope that the
agenda of the conference on Far East
ern affairs would be arranged prior to
the meeting in accordance with it's
suggestion that matters concerning
only a few nations, or which are ac-.
complished facts, be not brought into
the discussion. So far nobody has
shown any intention of supporting this
proposition of the Japanese, which, of
course, Is put forward solely In be-
half Of their own selfish interests.
They do not wish to be asked about
Sh%antung, or zap, or Manchuria.
Great Britain also accepted the invi-
tation to the conference last week in
a graceful note that contained no re-
strfctions or qualifications. The rep
-esentatives of the republic of South
China are still asking recognition in
Washington and a bid to the meeting.
They assert that the people of South
China have set up a government of
their own that owes no allegiance to
the Picking government, and that they
constitute a full half Of the popula-
ton of China.
