WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-That part OF
official Washington which is constitution
ally opposed to the principles of Mr.
Volstead is awaiting with eager interest
a decision on the mOmentous question OF
whether the disarmament conference
which convenes here in November, is to
he wet or dry. Those who agree with Mt
Yolstead also are interested and are ex-
pected to have considerable to say if the
decision goes against them.
That the problem involves some nice
considerations is disputed by no one on
the one hand. 1t involves the majesty and
dignity Of the domestic law. as cOnstltut-
ed in the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act; on the other, 1t brings into
play delicate questions of diplomatic
usage and international courtesy deemed
essential to the success OF the conference.
MORE THAN 1000 TO
COME FOR CONFERENCE.
More than a thousand foreigners, vary
ing from prime minister tc messenger,
are expected to come to Washington in
connection with the conference. The
British delegation, it is expected viii
number not less than 200, while those of
France. Italy, Japan and China proba-
bly will fall little short of that figure.
Belgium, The Netherlands and Portugal
also will lie represented. In addition,
observers are expected from practically
80 x<Es2 in the world.

TO PROVIDE FOR
THE CITY PLAN
COMMISSION
Funds Needed for New Body
VIII Be Inserted in Con
trOller's Budget.

The problem Of financing the city
planning commission during the first year
OF It's existence was given thought to-
day by city Controller Robert II. Bry
SON The controller announced that he
will urge the commission, which is ex-
pected To organize some time this week,
30 make an estimate Of its financial needs
for 1922 Immediately. IN order that pro-
vision to meet them may be made In the
budget and tnx levy now being made up.
Under the city planning law the com
mission may be given appropriation
amounting to the proceeds from levy OF
from three to eight mills on 500 Of tax
nhles. The sum Is to be raised as part
Of the general fund. Mr. Bryson said he
understands the law to give the city coun-
ell power to appropriate money TO run
the commission the remainder Of this year
without a levy and that I'm case II Is i'm
possible for the commission to get its es
Innate made i'm time t. he included In the
1922 budget and tax levy the council
would have power 10 appropriate money
out OF the general fund for the commis-
son's uss 10 the same manner throughout
1922.
The controller and other city officials
are now proceeding in the budget making
on the rule announced Dy ihe Nidle
board Of accounts several weeks ago that
no appropriation not included in the
budget would be approved.
In case the planning levy can not be
included in this years city levy Mr Bry-
son said he favors providing conting-
ent fund OF from $4,000 to $4,000 to be
raised by the levy for the general fund
out Of which appropriations made for the
commission in 1929 might be met. lie
said he believes little more than the
proceeds Of the minimum three mill levy
Will be needed In the first year OF the
commissions life because most Of its
work will be IN the nature Of preliminary
surveys.
The controller announced that all Of the
preliminary estimates excepting that Of
the health department are in his hands
and that the department heads and mem
bers Of the city council will be called
to attend close conference wherein the
budget and levies will be discussed at
the city hall Mt Z 80 o'clock Wednesday
evening. Following this conference the
budget, appropriation and levy ordi-
nances are expected to be introduced In
the council at a special meeting.

Booze Issue to Confront

Whether 1000 or More Foreigners Will Be
Permitted to Consume Drinks Question.

the United States is the only one with
prohibition, and the question already has
arisen whether these guests must, while
in Washington, do as the Washington
ians do.
Aside from these more radical oppo-
nents of John Barleycorn. there is an Gle
ment which feels that it would be un-
fortunate If existing laws We're inter
preted more freely in order that visiting
delegations may not be deprived Of their
drinks.
FEAR MORAL
EFFECT.
The moral effect upon the country Of a
thousand foreigners having free access to
alcoholic beverages within the very
shadow of the capitol, it is argued, un-
doubtedIy would be had. Such 4 spec
tacle, they say, would encourage dis
regard Of the law of the land and would
do the cause Of prohibition more harm
ttan all the anti prohibition societies
put together
Despite these arguments The opinion
prevails among those most familiar with
the situation that the foreign statesmen
WIN not suffer from thirst il they are
sufficiently interested to bring. their own
liquor. Under a ruling by the Secretary
of State and the Attorney General in the
last Administration, ambassadors and
ministers of foreign countries are held
to be immune from the operations Of the
