(Pussyfoot Johnson, American pro.
hibition worker, told the members OF
the Rotary Club here that his impres-
sion after an extensive tour of the
country is that India is more ripe for
prohibition than America was five
years ago.
Mr. Johnson was the principal
guest of the club at its tiifin NEE ting
where he was subjected to goodna
tured bombardment of questions.
Describing his reception in India
which has been an enthusiastic one,
Mr.. Johnson said he had been well
coined because he represented Il cru
sade that appealed to the people of
India.
''In the districts | have visited in
the past few weeks" he said, Il have
been entertained by every class, from
the Viceroy and the native princes
downwards, and only on single oc-
casion-at Patna several days ago
did hear an Indian stand UP to op
pose prohibition.
"It was at Patna that / witnessed
remarkable demonstration in sup,
port of dry India, a great crowo
of nearly 5000 at the request of the
chairman voting on the question By
show of hands. So far as | coulC
see, every hand in the audience

TO FORCE ACTION
ON FUTURES ACT.
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE inevita-
BILE how-down" respecting the Dial
amendment to the cotton futures act,
tending further totregulate cotton ex-
changes, can not be much longer
postponed. Senator Dial of South
Carolina, author of the amendment,
serves notice today that he will force
action in the senate at the first pos
sible moment. He holds that a posi-
tion contrary to the letter or spirit
of his amendment can not be de-
Tended.
The Dial amendment would require
cotton exchanges to deliver cotton in
the exact grades specified in the con-
tract. AT present, exchanges may
deliver I'M any one OF, ten legal grades.
Only one member of the senate has
been outspoken in opposition to the
Dial proposal. i. He is Senator Rams
dell of Louisiana
Said Senator Dial today: 81 am not
trying to put the exchanges out of
business. I am not trying to pre-
vent all senator's, especially those who
are members of the committee on
agriculture, giving the amendment
most careful study. am willing to
get together with the members 81
the committee and devise a scheme
which would be equitable and, salts
factory. have no pride of author
ship respecting the amendment
am solely trying to correct an error
which costs the producer of the South
millions of dollars every season, and
which makes the Southern farmer an
almost necessary victim of cottor
gamblers.
"But am certain that the amend.
ment has pended long enough. Action
must be had. If there has been dilly-
da1lying and philandering, it must
come to an end. There is no reason
in the world why a purchaser of ar
exchange when demanding delivery
can not get: an even break, in the ex
lScellence Of grades. There is no rea
Fson whyshs. can not received tina
which he contracted to receive" s.
Is The Dial amendment is the sue
fcessor Of similar amendment pro
tlosed IN the Sixty-sixth congress b,

countered the stiff opposition of tn
exchanges. The same opposition ha
expressed itself against the Dia
proposition.
