WORLD WAR IS:
PLANNED ON
'DRYS'
American Prohibition Law to
Be Target at Farley
in England
By LUTHER A. HUSTON,
international Naua HnrvicA.

LONDON, May 16.--America' 3 pro.
hibition laws will be the target Of
Q flood Of hostile criticism at the
International anti-prohibition con-
gress which will be held in London
June "a and Is next.
Vets" from all parts Of the world
Will go forth to tell their opinion
Of prohibition. From the congress,
1t is expected. an army of anti-Pus-
gyfoots" will go forth to fight pro-
hibition wherever 1t attempts to gain
q foothold in any part of the world.
Plans for the convention, accord
ing to information given out at the
headquarters Of the Anti-Prohibition
League which IL sponsoring and or
eanizing 1t, are not yet sufficiently
complete to enable an accurate
resume Of the program to be made
public. The general plan, however,
Is to devote the two days to a sort
Of round-table discussion in which
the various delegates will be able to
express their views on all phases Of
the prohibition question.
1t is expected that a representa-
tive delegation Of American oppo-
nents Of prohibition will attend, al
though the committee in charge has
not yet been advised of the person
mel Of the delegation. Because of
the worldwide interest in Americas
prohibition legislation 1t is expected
that the American delegates will be
the center of attraction throughout
the session.
Representation on the program
will be International and cosmopoli.
tan. Noted doctors and scientists
from England and other countries
will attend and speak Of the ad-
vantageS of the moderate use of
alcohol to the human race. Several
noted literary men are on the pro.
gram and a number of eminent
clergymen who are opposed to pro-
hibitory legislation will participate.
Distinguished Speakers.
Among the speakers already ar
ranged for are several members Of
the British Parliament. Sir Thomas
Horder, a noted English physician;
II. A. Vachell, the well-known au.
thor. and several women writer's and
publicists, including Miss Muriel
H1ne, Miss Cicely Hamilton and Miss
Vera Beringer. are on the program.
The purpose Of the convention,
according to announcement by the
AUTHORIZATION League, is to en-.
able opponents Of prohibition in
every part Of the world to get to-
gether for an interchange of views
and discussion Of the best methods
OF combating the spread Of prohibi-
ton sentiment. It is possible that
an International anti-prohibition or
ganization may result.
