COULD ATTACK BILL
AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

New York, Nov. 23.-Belief that
the anti-becr bill could be attacked
as unconstitutional was expressed
tonight by w, Fl. Hirst, general
counsel for New York brewers.
One ground for attack, he as
serted, was that the law discrimi
mated against beer and in favor OF
other alcoholic liquors for medlci-
nal purposes.
Moreover, he asserted, the eight
zenith amendment could not be lie
gally interpreted as permitting con-
gress to interfere" other than
with liquors intended for beverage
purposes.
In the third place, he said, pro-
visions Of the new law dealing with
search and seizure 'inferentially"
violated. the fourth amendment
guaranteeing the security of homo
and person.
THE brewers are not greatly
concerned over the ban on beer
for medicine" he continued. at
strikes that the court will not per-
nit congress to set itself up as a
scientific body for arbitrarily i'm
posing upon the medical profession
the congressional decision Of what
constitutes q medicine. This is
matter for the medical profession"

FIXING 4 LIMIT
ON LAND FORCES
DIFFICULT, SAYS

Washington, Nov. 20 (by the AS.
ISOLATED Press) The desire OF
Italy to participate in the Censor
| tium dealing with Chinese fiscal
affairs was made known today
during an interview by Senator AL
hertini and Ambassador Ricci. Adj
dition of Italy TO those now includ-
ed, the senator said, might remove
some objection indicated by China
to the plan.
Predicting 1t would be more diff
ficult to fix standard OF the linn
itation OF land than naval arma-
ments, the senator said that to
reach an understanding over reduc-
ton of land ornaments the con-
ference must discuss reasons miti-
eating In favor or against mainte-
nance or the reduction Of land arm
aments.
The greatest difficulty for the
limitation of land ornaments, he
said, was expressed by Premier
BRAND Monday when he said
France could not accept reduction
of her forces unless she received
proper guarantees. Declaring Italy
and France are on the best terms,
he said reduction OF the italian
land armaments had been INSPIRED
by the true desire of bringing about
In Europe a situation Of lasting
peace"
"Our strategical position was
modified after the war" he said.
Before that we were faced with
the dilemma of having to fight
either France or Austria. Now we
must try to get such reduction Of
ornaments which will not deprive
us of the forces necessary to defend
our sea communications. From
this point of view Italy Is almost an
insular power. If our sea COM
were cut off we would
starve and would be obliged to sur
render In few weeks
