that 1t does not give voter the OPP
portunity to express his preference be-
tween prohibition and the ~eturn of
the liquor traffic. The poll has also
lent itself to q trick of the vets to
count those who voted for modifica-
ton. Those in this group Of Prot
estant ministers who voted modifica-
ton, only eight in all, preferred, as far
as we were able to learn, the present
law to repeal.
Striking Fact Is Cited.
"The striking fact which completely
refutes the Literary Digest report is
that not a Protestant pastor among
the white clergy Of the District of
Columbia was found who had voted for
repeal. On the other hand, the num-
Der Of Protestant ministers who de-
clared that they had voted for enforce
ment was twice as large as the num-
Der reported by the Digest as voting
for enforcement. Despite the fact that
the Digest reported that only AZ clergy
men of the Protestant, Roman Catholic
and Jewish churches voted for enforce
ment, Sc pastors whose churches are
affiliated with the Washington Fedora
ton of Churches declared they had
voted for enforcement.
Naturally there is much curiosity
as to where the Literary Digest Sc
cured the 234 ballots which. it claims
were cast by clergymen of the District
OF Columbia for repeal. These certain
ly did not come from the Protestant
clergy of the District as the foregoing
table proves.
THE largest number Of ballots in
proportion to the number of ministers
were received by the Lutherans and the
CongregationaliSts and the latter cast
largest inf
ment The Lutheran clergymen cast
the largest vote, S. for modification.
However, they cast IL for enforcement.
The Presbyterians cast the greatest
number Of ballots for any single de-
nomination, 16, every one for enforce
ment. The three Methodist groups,
numbering 81 ministers, received only
70 ballots and cast 10 votes, all for
enforcement.
Held to Be Misrepresented.
"The opinion of the pastors as ex-
pressed In their first indignation meet
ing. that they had been grossly mis-
represented and made to appear in
false light, has been more than sub
stantiated by the canvass made by
score of their number. Our tabula-
ton leaves no doubt in our mind as to
the untrue and deceptive impression
given by the Literary Digest poll.
Furthermore, our attention has been
called to layman who received eight
ballots and the number who received
three seems to be considerable.
mo canvass was made of the Roman
Catholic clergy or any of the Prot
estants other than the white ministers.
The figures give the lie to any state
ment which would in anywise infer that
the Protestant clergymen of the Dis
trict Of Columbia are other than over
whelmingly In favor of prohibition and
its enforcement"
AS a result of the pastors own in
vestigation a vigorous protest will be
sent to the Literary Digest.

Mayor Jess Eubanks Of Sherman de-
clared that most of the members OF the

1T is regrettable that some Of the

ITALY IS READY
TO RENEW FARLEY
Grand Tells Deputies He Is
Prepared to Seek Naval
Arms Solution.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROME, May 10.-The London Naval
Conference was discussed in detail by
Dino Grand, italian foreign minister,
in the course of his seech in the Cham
Der of Deputies last night on the
budget and foreign affairs. 1t was the
first pronouncement on the subject by
a member Of the Italian government
since the arms negotiations we're
brought to a close In London more
than two weeks ago. After outlining
the course pursued by the Italian dele
cation throughout the parley, Signor
Grandi expressed the full willingness
of his government to take up CONVEX
sations with London and Paris where
they were left off.
Ready TO Resume Negotiations.
'Italy is ready at moments notice"
he said, Ito resume the interrupted ne
gotiations." Apart from this the Italian
foreign minister gave but little hint as
% the effect the results at London are
TO have on the italian foreign policy.
He made no mention of the recently
announced construction program, pro-
viding for laying down of 20 Italian
warcraft before the end of the year,
and he was silent about the series of
political problems which are now
tlUuUllilk TIdIlCU-lldildn TcIdJIOnS. Ger
tatnly the general trend of his speech
was conciliatory, far more so than the
remarks of number of other deputies
during the current discussion III the
Chamber. 800
Signor Grand characterized the Lon
don three-power accord as "a substan-
tial result of undoubted Importance"
and even conceded certain Importance
TO the points wherein all five powers
represented at London were able to
agree, notably the question of a bat
tleship holiday. Failure, however, of
France and Italy to come to an under
standing on the highly important Medi-
terranean question has, he said, re
suited in a certain amount OF disil-
lusionment in Italy"
Cites Partial Understanding.
Signor Grand attributed the COM
plete liquidation at London of the
Anglo-American naval controversy to
the fact that a partial understanding
had been reached before the London
negotiations began and he likewise
stated that a similar Franco-Italian
pre-conference accord would have been
necessary If any fundamental agree
ment between the two Latin nations
was to be reached at London. The
foreign minister went on to cite the
preconference advances which the Ital-
ian government had made to France
ana presented documents to show the
alleged failure of the French govern
ment TO meet these advances.
