House Judiciary committee which
has under consideration more
than fifty bills prposing the
modification Of the volstead act
to permit the manufacture and
sale of ITS beer. The Anti-Sa-
loon League is opposed to this
liberalization Of the law. charg-
ing that the sale Of beer would
restore the saloon. The advo-
Gates of modification have argued
that restoration of beer will curb
bootlegging and the illicit use Of
strong liquors. It Is doubtful
whether any Of these bills will be
reported from the committee as
every effort is being made to
avoid this issue before the con-
ventions.
The transportation act has
been under attack in the House
this week with the agitation for
the removal Of the Railroad La
Dor Board. The debate has been
very bitter at times and party
lines have disappeared. Organ
lied labor has been conducting q
vigorous campaign on behalf Of
the Howell Barley bill but there
is little chance of this measure
being incorporated into law be
fore the adjournment Of Con
gress.
In a last minute effort to bring
about farm legislation at this ses
sion. Senator Smith. Democrat. Of
South Carolina. has introduced I
bill which would create agricul
tural associations with power II
lend money on farm products
limit production. and market
commodities. According to Sena
tor Smith, this bill is proposes
as a compromise measure which
should obtain the support of thu
farm bloc. The McNary-Haugei
bill has the right-of-way in thu
Senate, however and a test of tn,
voting strength will be made Of
this proposal.
Victor Berger, Socialist. of Wis
consin, has introduced a bill Pre-
viding for government OWNERSHIP
and operation Of railroads, e,
press companies, telegraph an
telephone companies. Interview
; with influential members Of tn
House and Senate indicate ths
; there is little sentiment for legii
! lation of this kind because of tn
expensive experiment conducte
J during the war with federal cor
! troll of the railroads and othe
public utilities.

to be taken; sanctions may not be applied
unless fragrant defaults are established,
and in case of fragrant default the allies
shall confer as to the nature OF the
sanctions. Any decision by the repara-
ton commission regarding defaults not
taken by unanimous vote may be appeal
ed to the arbitral commission!
The members of this arbitral commits
sion and the American member of the
PREPARATION commission shall be selected
by unanimous vote of the reparation COM
mission and, in default of this, by the
president of the world court at The Hague.
In the event the allies have to apply sane
tons to Germany they will safeguard the
specific securities pledged to the service
of the 100000, 600 loan to Germany. Serv-
ice of this loan is to have absolute priority
as regards any money of Germany so far as
such money have been subjected to the
general charge in favor of the loan and
also as regards any resources that may
arise through the imposition of sanctions
The preliminary agreement for the re-
storation Of German economic unity is
confirmed in the terms already published
Germany must fulfill the stipulated obli-
cations in launching the Dawes plan and
the allies must restore German admins
trative, civil and economic control
throughout the Ruhr in accordance with a.
time table to be enforced progressively as
Germany fulfills her part. The entire
program for the restoration of Germany's
fiscal and economic unity is to be COM
pleted by October 5, next
In its handling of reparations in kind
by the transfer committee, Germany recog-
n1zes the right of the transfer committee
to use its funds to pay for deliveries of
certain products even after fulfillment of
the Versailles treaty obligations, and
agrees that such products need not be con-
fined to those specified in the treaty, due
regard being had to Germanys own re-
quirements. Germany further agrees to
facilitate these deliveries under ordinary
commercial conditions
Inc allies agree to prevent re-exporta-
ton OF these deliveries. Deliveries are to
be fixed by program drawn up by the
reparation commission in consultation with
the transfer committee. If there is a dis
QUITE as to the program either within the
reparat1on commission or between the
reparation commission and Germany. an
arbltral commission of three independent
persons shall lay down the program for
defined periods, and such commission shall
also determine upon the complaint of an
allied government whether there has been
WlltuIl discrimination or obstruction by
the German government
An elaborate scheme is outlined for the
arbitration of the different kinds of dis
putes that may arise in consequence or
the work of the transfer committee All
arbltral boards not chosen unanimously
by the reparation commission shall be
nominated by the president Of the world
court.

secretaries, the German secretary and
representative of the Preparations commits
sion. The American secretary does not

The protocol states that the president

tions commission have confirmed their ac-
ceptance of the Dawes plan and that by
means of the conference certain agree
ments annexed to the protocol have been
signed or initiated by the parties con-
cerned
These agreements are mutually indie
pendent and cannot be varied, except that
the dates will be advanced, as the original
dates presupposed that the first steps
would be taken on August Is. The parties
concerned will meet later in London to
attach formal signatures to the documents
which have not been signed and certified
copy Of the agreements as concluded be-
tween the allies will be communicated to
Germany
Annex l Of the protocol is the agreement
Of August between the reparations COM
mission and Germany, whereby Germany
agrees to take necessary measures to pro-
mulgate and enforce the laws required to
carry out the Dawes plan in the form APP
proved by the Preparations commission,
especially relating to the bank of issue
the railway and industrial debentures and
to apply certain provisions regarding con-
troll of the revenues assigned as security
for the annuities
The PREPARATIONS commission undertakes
to do it's best to carry out the Dawes
plan, particularly in the way of faciita-
ting loan, and both the Preparations COM
mission and Germany agree to help to
carry out any additional agreements in
Guiding arrangements for modifying the
Dawes plan. If there is disagreement on
the Interpretation Of the provisions, the
dispute shall be submitted to arbitration.
Three OF the annexes to the protocol
embody agreements which the conference
reached for dealing with sanctions to be
applied by the allies to Germany in the
event of her possible default. Under the
Dawes plan, restoration of Germany's
economic unity and the setting up of a
transfer committee to receive and distri-
butte reparations in kind from Germany
The reparations commission, augmented
by an American member, is to supervise in
the first instance the operation of the
Dawes plan. In case of Germany's de-
fault the reparation commission may take
the allies recommendation as to the action
