CONFERENCE TO DRAFT
FIVE POWER NAVAL TREATY

Washington. Jan. s (By the A. P)-
AS the arms conference prepares to begin
discussion of the final draft o fthe five
power naval treaty, some of the dele
gates are making a particular study of
the question of arming merchant vassels
as it may relate to the limitation agree
ment.
In no quarter Is there apparent a dis
position to raise an issue which might
endanger the treaty at this point in the
negotiations, but among the foreign dele
cations it is predicted privately that the
armed ship problem will be one of the
most difficult Of the collateral questions
to arise.
The Italians, Japanese and France are
all said to feel that if merchantmen are
to be permitted to arm as in wars past,
the effect might be not only to vitiate
the project to limit Individual auxiliary
warships to 10000 tons each but it might
also result in a great disadvantage to the
nations which have small merchant fleets
Beyond saying that the status of a
merchant ship in future is to be the
status well understood in international
law, the American and British delegates
are not willing to discuss the subject
The subcommittee draft Of the instru-
nent was virtually complete tonight and
the full naval committee probably will
begin its discussion of detail and phrase
ology tomorrow or Tuesday A plenary
session of the conference to make the
treaty public probably will follow before
the end Of the week.
Meantime the Shantnng controversy
remains in deadlock. but hope Of an

DRY ENFORCEMENT REACHING
HIGHEST POSSIBLE POINT

Chicago, Jan. 8.-The prohibition law
is not failure and while enforcement of
IT probably never will reach the 100 per
cent. point of efficiency, it rapidly is ap-
preaching the highest possible point, Ma
jor r. A. Haynes national prohibition
director said today in an address be-
fore the Law Enforcement League of
Chicago.
No law can be enforced 100 per cent,
Mr.. Haynes said. He declared that The
chief obstacles in enforcement of the
Volstead act were apathetic citizens and
public officials.
The VETS have spread carefully
planned propaganda to make it appear
that the prohibition law Is a failure and
cannot be enforced" said Major
Haynes. They put in capital letters the
liquor imported into this country. The
facts show that the total importations
during the past fiscal year were one
half of one per cent. of the total con-
sumption of liquor in the United States
the year before prohibition.
Propaganda says crime has increased
since prohibition. Facts show that the
crime wave is worldwide and that it
would be just as sensible to blame it on
woman suffrage as on prohibition. Facts
show that arrests for drunkenness have
decreased so per cent, in this country
since prohibition and convictions for
drunkenness increased about the same
per cent. in wet England.
Facts show that liquor Withdrawals
from warehouses in this country during
the past October wree only fifty per
cent. of the withdrawals in the previous
October

ASKING VETERANS PROMISE
NOT TO TAKE CASH AID

Advance pledges from veterans of the
World war not to accept a cash bonus
unless they absolutely need money to
relieve immediate distress have been
called for by Robert G. Woodside, ma
tional commander of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the U. IS. Woodside's
call for a volunteer committee of TO-
600 veterans to accept and spread the
doctrine Of accepting adjusted service
certificates or land and home aid instead
of cash, was issued at New York follow
ing luncheon of the Veterans of For
eign Wars commander with Senator
McCun1ber, sponsor of the soldiers boz
nus bill in the senate, Senator James
Watson of Indiana, member of the fl
nance committee, and Congressman Roy
FitZferald, Ohio, chairman of the vet
Grams organiza ton in the house.
THE senators and congressman want
to pass the bonus or adjusted compensa-
ton bill at this session., declared Wood
side after visiting q score of senate and
house leaders, but they seem afraid
that every veteran would Immediately
demand his bonus in cash. This is far
from true, and the V. f. w. will organ
ize a committee of 10000 to prove to
congress that it is not the case. The
Fordney- McCumber bill includes several
Grams than the cash bonus. The adjust
ed service certificates, which consist of
paid up insurance policy with definite
loan value, are worth several times as
muc hto veteran as the cash bonus.
The Land and Home Aid section offers
him 40 per cent. more than the cash sec
ton. if he applies the money on buying
a city or country home. We anticipate
that 80 per cent. of veterans would &C
cept these options rather than the cash
bonus Only those veterans in distress
will choose the cash option.
Our organization is offering It's ser
vices through it's thousand posts an6
100, 600 active members to organize SEN
timent in favor Of accepting the more
| substantial benefits. We do this in con,
fidence that congress will fulfill the
promise of many members of botf
houses that the adjusted compensation
bill will be passed at this session. We
have not the least doubt that once the
bin is passed, the ex-service men will
accept So in paid up insurance with {
government loan guarantee. rather thar
| 81 in cash. This is especially true be
cause the bill spreads the cash payment
| over two or three years in small quar-
| terly sums. We insist that the cash fea
| ture be retained because a certain mum
| Der of veterans are unemployed or fac
| ing severe family distress requiring i'm
mediate aid. But we will certainly urg
| every veteran to take the insurance o

more to him and more to the country.
Il believe my call for a voluntee

1t is evident that the long discussed

The question of srming merchantmen
has arisen in connection with the attempt
of the naval experts to include m the

Such definition is regarded by the naval
authorities as necessary, particularly in
