nRESlDENT HARDING expects to Sc
cure practical and beneficial results
L from the conference with governors
OF states which he will cali early in
May, to be held in the National Capital, to
oiscuss more effective enforcement of the
hdtlonal prohibition law. By an exchange
OF views, of experiences and recommended
tions, the chief executive thinks that plans
can be worked out for Tightening enforce
ment all along the line.
The likelihood that some of the govern
ers favor modifying the law to permit the
use OF light wines and beer will have no

lhe state of Washington appears to be
all worked up over alleged violations of the
law in the city of Washington. Wayne B.
wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, has received telegram from Spo-
kane demanding to know what he is going
TO do about alleged violations of the law in
society circles of this city, reported to be

charges and data he can do nothing.

one OF the arguments frequently advanced
IN support of the demand for modification
or the Volstead act to permit the use of
light wines and beer is the claim that viola
lions OF the law will be lessened thereby,
Not all people, however, who conscientiouslv
think that beer and wine would be a good
thing for the country condone the violation
OF the law on account of its strictness.
The movement looking to congressional
action IN the direction of modification is
taking on stronger momentum, according to
reports from those in touch with the leader

AS A CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Leaders of Both Parties Concerned as to
View of People OH Subject of
Foreign Intercourse.

is said. that to make the entry of
the United States into that league
an issue in the campaign would be
popular. But a revised league
that's different thing. they say.
Roosevelt for "Revision.,
A week ago Franklin D. Roosevelt,
democratic nominee for Vice Presi-
dent in 1920. was in Washington. He
had been in conference with his old
running mate. former Gov. Cox of
Ohio; with William Jennings Bryan,
democratic senators. and last. but
by no means least, with Woodrow
Wilson. In an interview Mr.. Roose-
Welt expressed the opinion that those
in the United States who wished to
see this country join a league of ma
tions believed that the existing league
must be revised" or changed in some
way before this country should go
into 1t. Whether former President
Wilson takes this view of the matter
was not disclosed. But there are
other democrats who ardently sup
ported the league In 1920 who now
they hold that because there have
been great changes in Europe-in the
world-since the league covenant was
first drafted changes were in order.
But they believe in the sentiment In
this country for "a" league to aid In
the maintenance of world peace and
they believe that it would be a popu-
lar issue.
The republican leaders-some of
them-are not unmindful of the de-
sire of many Americans that this
country take part in league which
would reduce the chances of inter-
national conflict. President Harding
himself in his Association of nations
idea said as much. The proposal Of
the administration that the United
States take part In the world court
is in line with this sentiment.
Opposes Force-Backed League.
Recently, in a speech in Pittsburgh.
Senator George Wharton Pepper Of
Pennsylvania, republican, and said to
be slated by the leaders for place
on the foreign relations committee
in the next Congress. pointed out the
possibilities Of a revision of the ex-
listing league of nations. There are
many who believe with Senator Pep
per that the countries of the world
would be willing to revise the league
in many particulars to bring about
the participation of the United States
in a league. This belief is not con-
fined either to republicans or demo-
Gratis.
It Is frankly Senator Peppers view
that the discussion of the proposed
entrance of the United States into
the world court will lead to a discus
sion of the league and league re-
vision. The Pennsylvania senator is
opposed to a league of nations backed
by force. He opposed the original
league-the existing league-on that
ground. But his contention is that 1t
would be easy to take the existing
league covenant and shear away the
provisions which cali for the use Of

Womens organizations and Organized
labor expected to back up the movement
to require that greater majority than one
shall be needed to declare law unconsti-
tutionaL Thus far the movement is recog-
nized as bipartisan. 1t is expected that it
the change is not made before, the sponsors
will take demand to the two national
conventions seeking to get party plank
urging it.
Political leaders expect to witness an
avalanche of demands upon the two national
conventions for planks urging the submis-
sion of the multfarious proposed changes
in the Constitution of the United States
Resolutions introduced in the last Congress
proposing amendments to the Constitution,
they say, clearly indicate big drive in this
direction. The resolutons-and their name
is legion-covered a wide range of subjects
and if all of the proposed changes were
made, the trainers of the Constitution would
not recognize the original charter.
Talk about the selection of cities which
will have the two big national conventions
is setting in now. The choice will be made
parties meet in this city next December to
issue the call for the conventions
The suggestion that Washington might
get the republican national convention sent
cold chills down the back of some of the
republican leaders. Great Scott" said one
of them, "just think of the demand for
tickets from officials in Washington who
who would be convinced they had claim
on seats in the convention. We would not
have room for the delegates after all these
applicants were satisfied"
X X X X
One of the biggest problems which con-
front the men in charge of the arrange
ments of national convention is the demand
for seats in the visitors galleries of the con-
vention. 1t is remarkable they say, how
many people they suddenly learn have "been
lifelong friends" of theirs and come for
ward with an engaging smile and out
stretched hand.
