Washington, April 20.-Convinced
that lack of information is respon-
sible for much of the opposition to
the administration plan for Ameri-
can membership in the Permanent
Court of International Justice,
President Harding is understood to
have decided to explain the proposal
carefully and in detail at the first
favorable opportunity.
The explanation contemplated by
the chief executive is expected to
take the form of letter or an ad-
dress, more probably the latter. In
any event it is considered unlikely
that the presidential announcement
will be delayed until the proposed
western speaking trip to start the
middle of June.
Some of the Presidents advisers
are of the opinion that it should be
made in the near future, and this
opinion became more decided after
Representative Will X. Wood, of In
diana, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee. during a
call at the White House. today as
serted that the world court propo-
siti0n hA1 aroused more opposition
among Republicans in the middle
west than the, League of Nations.
Mr.. Harding was i'll conference
for half an hour with Elihu Root.
vel n hn only American "a hn sat
on the commission that drafted the
statue outlining the procedure. menu
bership and other details of the In
ternatiOnal Court. The former secrc-
tary of state after Iii conference de-
clined to dicuSs his conversation
with the President.
The conference with Mr.. Root was
followed by a brief call at the White
House by Secretary Hughes. 1t was
considerable probable that he may
have delivered some information on
the world court proposal requested
by the President earlier in the day
at the cabinet meeting.
Nothing developed after Rcprcsen-
tative Woods call to indicate that
his warning that continued advocacy
of the court proposal by the admin
istration would bring about Il
schism in the Republican party had
effect on the President. MIR. Wood
frankly said he detected no weaken
ing on the part of the President.
Mr.. Wood on leaving the White
House explained that the views that
he had presented were purely his
personal ideas but added that scores
CT kilograms frcm Republican leaders
ana conferences held during. re-
cert Tip to Indiana had convinced
| him that he stood far from alone in
believing that the court issue was
freighted with danger u the solidar-
ity Of the Republican party and to
its success il the 1924 campaign.

ST. LOUIS BREWER POINTS
OUT PROHIBITION TROUBLES

Political considerations such as the
raising of party campaign funds have
entered the enforcement of the nat
ional prohibition law and apparently
have made certain large cities immune
from the provisos of the Volstead act,
August A. Busch, former brewer, de-
clared in a letter to President Cool
idge, which was made public recently.
In the letter Busch asserted that
the huge steel, oil and packing inter-
ests of the country had financed and
advocated the enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment to side track
government antitrust proceedings
against them, and that two and one
half per cent of the people of the
United States had had voice in the
enactment of the law.
Busch declared that lax enforcement
of the prohibition law had corrupted
the federal service, uprooted respect
for the law and has set back the cause
of. temperance many years by driving
the Illicit manufacture of intoxicants
into the home and by flooding the
country with smuggled liquors, many
of which are dangerous to the public
health.
He said that when his representa-
tive presented evidence of widespread
violation of the Volstead act to en-
forcement officials at Washington, an
officer, whom he did not name, adj
mitted that "the department has be-
come so corrupt that it could not en-
force the law"

lowing this there will be a second
