ELIMINATION OF DRY
ISSUE SEEN FOR 1928
Capper Confident Both Political
Parties Will Take Stand for
Enforcement.

Senator Capper Of Kansas Is conf
dent that both major political parties
will stand squarely for enforcement
of the national prohibition law in the
campaign next year, thus eliminating
the wet and dry question as an issue
at the polls.
In an editorial in the November
issue of Capper's Farmer the Kansas
Senator points out that the sentiment
of the country won't allow repeal
of the eighteenth amendment and that
any other move, such as one toward
modification, would violate the spirit
of the law.
81 have not the slightest doubt"
declares Senator Capper, that the
Democratic national convention of
1928 will demand enforcement Of the
prohibition law. 1t Is certain that the
Republican national convention will.
Modificationists and compromisers

compromise or Of modification will
be in such a minority in the Repub.

diction is they will not be heard from.

anticipate it will arouse great interest
among the delegates. It will be voted

prohibition States knows you cannot
make terms with John Barleycorn.
Whenever the liquor question is raised
: in an election the candidate who at.
tempts to straddle it goes down to
defeat. 1t is not an, issue which may
be juggled with. I am certain that
neither party-certainly not the Re-
publican party-will trifie with the
people by favoring modification any
more than it will favor the repeal Of
the amendment"

TARIFF CONGRESS

Wilson Presents Amendment
at Geneva on Export
Rationing.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, Switzerland, October 10
lin view Of the Franco-American
tariff question. the International Con
ference for the removal of restrictions
on exports took on special Importance
today because of the introduction of
an amendment by Hugh Wilson
American delegate. to the draft of
convention concerning the rationing
of goods for expectation and importa
ton.
The draft treaty provides that when
licenses are required for expectation
the signatories shall comply with the
provisions of the convention for sim
Dlification of customs formalitieS.
Referred to Committee.
Mr.. Wilson, who is the new Amer
lean Minister to Switzerland, told the
conference that the United States was
not a party to this convention and
that 1t was desirable to repeat its
stipulations, with the additional clari-
ing article that when rationing of
exports and imports seemed necessary,
all signa+ories shall have right to
an equitable share in proportion to
their normal volume of trade in the
particular class OF goods affected.
He further proposed that in appli
cation Of this provision no distinc.
ton should be made between direct
and indirect shipments.
The American amendment caused
general debate and eventually was re-
ferred to a committee.
French Delegate Speaks.
Special interest was caused by
speech delivered by M. Serroys
French delegate, in which he declared
that the new article or paragraph
proposed by the United States raised
the question Of whether the policy Of
a "most-fa avored.nation' clause in in
ternational commercial treaties was to
be applied to the rationing of exports
to various countries. NJ. Serroys
thought that this was delicate and
complicated problem which would re-
uuire special conference for elucida
tion and settlement.
The Italian delegate then took eX.
ception to the American suggestion
that there should he no distinction
between direct and indirect ship.

Mr.. Wilson later explained that his
amendment was based on the draft
submitted by the Washington Govern.
ment to other nations as the basis of
treaties Of commerce and friendship.
