WASHINGTON. July 1.-The ques-
ton Of nationwide referendum on
the Eighteenth amendment is now
squarely before congress On the
merits and cannot be ended in ex-
cuse of constitutional inhibition, it's
advocates here believe.
This has been accomplished by
presentation of a plan of referen-
dunn by Senator Edward I. Edwards
of New Jersey, which is Endorsed
as legal in every respect by Edward
a. Alexander, New York attorney,
and member of the law reform COM
mittee of the American Bar AS
sociation, and other eminent law
yers.
Authority Cited
Edwards plan is based on the
fifth articles of the constitution which
provides that Congress, in prop2s'
ing amendments to the constitut pm,
may designate whether rattle, ION
W the necessary three-fourths OF
2he States shall be by State legis-
T'lature or State conventions.
Presenting his proposal in the
form of a Senate joint resolution,
Edwards suggests amending the
Constitution by repeal of the eight
eenth amendment, and specifies that

mines.
Conventions in 1928 IS
All conventions are to be held in
1928 prior to the day when members
of the electoral college are selected,
thus securing an expression from
the people on prohibition before the
presidential vote is cast.
Edwards says he will let his reso-
luton lie on the table for the. pres
ent, in order that it may be dis
cussed fully in all parts Of the coun
try. He will call 1t UP for action
not later than the first session OF
the SEVENTEEN Congress, which
meets in December, 1927.
1t is doubtful whether all anti
prohibition factions will unite in sup
port of the Edwards plan.
Another Scheme
Senator Bruce of Maryland has
a plan before Congress to amend the
Eighteenth Amendment along the
lines of the Quebec plan, and local
option. This, he says. would retain
any good that has come out Of the
long fight against liquor, and will
he believes, be far more beneficial
to the country than complete wipine
out Of the Eighteenth Amendment.
One other plan for a referendum
has recently been proposed to Con
gress by AsembYman Louis A. Gu
villier Of New York.
He proposes that Congress call 9
constitutional convention for propos
ing various amendments. The fifth
article of the Constitution directs
Congress to take this action, wher
Legislatures Of two-thirds of the
States request it. Twenty Eight
State Legislatures have already ap
proved the plan of general con
