John Wannamaker Urges En-
forcement of Prohibition.

In letter received few days
ago by the Philadelphia Law En-
forcement League from John Wan
namaker, the nationally known mer-
chant and philanthropist heartily en-
dorses the Eighteenth Amendment.
We quote as follows:
"There can be no real difference
of opinion regarding the necessity of
the enforcement of this law, as we'll
as any other law that has been placed
upon the statute books of the nation.
To enforce one and not another is to
breed disrespect for all law, and
weakens the whole fabric of our gov
ernment.
"The prohibition amendment was
adopted in the manner prescribed by
our constitution. 1t was not hurried
proceeding, or taken upon snap
Judgment, but was long foreshadow-
ed by the prohibition legislation en-
acted by the various states.
cit was peculiarly fitting that pro-
hibition should have come previous
to the amendment giving suffrage to
the women, who are now our real
partners in life. What humiliation
it would have been to have invited
our mothers, wives and daughters to
cast their votes in saloons, as was so
often the case, and in an atmosphere
of LIQUOR and drunkenness.
Personally I believe in prohibi-
tion, because in a long experience l
have seen the evil and degrading ef-
fects of the liquor traffic, and do not
believe that it can be safely played
with any more than can dope or dy-
Mantle.
''I do not think that the American
people will ever want to go back to
the old regime, but if there are those
who think otherwise, the same order
ly procedure is open to them that
took place in enacting the prohibition
amendment.

REAL TREATY FIGHT

" ASKING On, March. the reai

the crucial test of the ability to Sc

reservations which would put their
tactical resources to a severe test

Of senator Underwood. the democratic
leader. they entertained no doubt that

BY first pursuing the line of the
most resistance. Senator Lodge said
that once the Pacific Pact was ratified
ne was confident that a favorable dis
position of the other treaties would
be a comparatively easy task.
The little group of Republican and
democratic 'frreconcilables" lined up
against the treaty admitted that unless
debate developed considerable more OPP
position, they were not hopeful OF pre-
venting its ratification. Senator Pat
Harrison OF Mississippi. was among the
democratic senator's rejecting the

opinion that the vote on the zap treaty
