BY Opponents of the Mea-

Prompt Action.

Washington, July 20.-Reve-
nue. Commissioner Blair today an
nounCod that he would issue regu-
latiOns covering the use of beer as
a medicine within the next few
days unless that it appeared pro-
hibitory action would be taken by
congress in the meanwhile. Eff
forts to bring the Willis-Campbell
anti-beer bill to a vote in the sem
ate next week were blocked today
by opponents.
The new regulations for the
manufacture and use of beer for
medical purposes are understood
to make the case the unit for pre-
scriptions, but set no limit to the
number of prescriptions which
may be written or obtained on the
theory that Attorney General Pal
mer held that the quantity of beer
or the number of prescriptions
might be limited, but not both.
Regulations for the use of wine
as medicine are understood to per-
nit two quarts to be prescribed at
one time.
Formal proposals by Senator
Sterling, republican. South Dakota,
for final disposition OF the meas
ure early next week were thwarted
by Senator Broussard, democrat,
Louisiana. who refused to enter
into a unanimous consent agree
ment.
Wayne r. Wheeler. general
counsel for the anti-saloon league,
today issued another statement
urging prompt action on the bill,
which, he said, would prevent
breweries from making real beer"
in a day or two after the regula-
tions are issued. as they are likely
to do.

j. 6. WILL GIVE
ALLIES TIME TO
PAY |NTE REST
Understanding" Reached
BY Wilson Administration,
Deferring Payments, Not
to be Reversed.

Washington, July 20.-The "un-
derstanding" reached by the Will
son administration, deferring in
terest payments on loans mace by
the United States to allied nations
will be binding upon the present
administration, Secretary Mellon
stated today to the senate finance
committee.
The secretary, however, did not
disclose the policy which he will
pursue in making collections and
advised the committee he had
reached no agreement with any
of the debtor nations on the sub
ieet.
The present situation, which the
secretary called embarrassing, was
caused by discussions in 1919 be-
tween former Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Rathbone and a
Mr.. Blackett, representing Great
Britain, with the result that the
understanding" was reduced to
written memoranda. These con-
ferences, the committee was in
formed, were held after Secretary
Glass and his successor, David S.
Houston, had decided there was
authority in law for the deferment
of interest payments.
Assistant Secretary Wadsworth.
who accompanied Mr.. Mellon be-
fore the committee, declared a
large part of the interest which the
United States had collected upon
its foreign loans was from money
which the allied governments had
borrowed for that purpose. Figures
were presented to the committee
showing that on the foreign loans
amounting to over $4,000, 900, 900,
there has accumulated accrued in
terest amounting to $943,534,755,
which is unpaid and has been de-
ferred. OF this. France owes 1884,
14S,S6S; Great Britain, $407,303,-
2S3; Belgium, $34,007,409, and
Italy, $161,O7S,SS0.
Secretary Mellon submitted to
the committee copy of a letter
written by him last May II to the
British ambassador on the refund
ing of the British debt. The sec
retary said he confined himself to
submitting to the ambassador vari-
Gus memoranda prepared as a re-
suit of the conference between Mr.
Rathbone and Mr.. Blackett.
"The papers cannot be said to
have been in any sense the drafts
or proposals Of either government"
the secretary continued, "and the
fact that any provision is contain
ed in them does not indicate that
either was prepared to agree to it"

58 JAP WORKERS
DEPQRTED F ROM
TURLOCK, CALF
A General Exodus of Nip
ponese LaborerS Follows;
They Work Cheaper Than
Whites, 1t Is Claimed.
tBy The Associated Press.)

Turlock, Calf, July 20.-A gen.
eral exodus of Japanese field labor
ers and their families from this dis
trict is taking place today follow
ing the deportation to Keyes, five
miles north of fifty eight Japan
ese male workers by members of
a union of fruit and melon pickers,
the authorities announced. The
union is composed principally of
white itinerants.
Japanese here who witnessed
the enforced departure of their
countrymen complained to the po-
lice that they were roughly han
died and in some instances were
robbed.
The Japanese lease holders were
not disturbed.
The authorities said that the
members of the mob which num-
bered about seventy-five, threaten
ed to burn one Japanese hotel and
two Japanese bunk houses in order
to hasten the departure of their oc-
cupants.
Go In All Directions.
Fifteen Japanese were taken
from the Gerard ranch. near town,
and the remainder from various
other properties, The police ex-
pected to arrest some of the mob
leaders today.
The japanese leaving today are
going in all directions. but the
greater number are headed for
Stockton, Keyes and Modesto.
The police were notified that a
number of Japanese taken to Keyes
by the mob. were placed on board
northbound freight train which
was tagged. The Japanese sub
mitted in most instances without
even a protest.
The japanese had been brought
into the district under contract to
white ranchers to pick the fruit
and melon crop. They were being
paid 16 cents crate, whereas
white workers were getting 25 and
rs cents and this is given as the
principal cause of the trouble.
The deportation followed a few
days a similar deportation of Jap
anese workers from the Livingston.
Merced county, fruit district. In
the former instance. however, the
farmers of the Livingston region
were held to be responsible for the
enforced departure of the Japan
ese.
Mob Worked Silently.
The mob worked silently and
was aided to some extent by the
full moon. The Japanese were
aroused and given certain time in
which to dress and collect their
belongings and were then ordered
onto motor trucks and driven
away. Wives and children of the
deportees were not molested,
The act of the mob followed
protest to the Turlock Chamber of
Commerce yesterday by the fruit
and melon pickers' union and the
refusal of the chamber to pass
resolution upholding the protest. |
The chamber issued statement,
however, criticising white farmers
who brought japanese workers into
the district.
