Gains SEEN BY
DRYS And VETS
IN 1880 BATTLE
Borah Is Expected to Fire
Next Big Gun After
Tariff Finale.

BY scY{pps-Hocdr5 Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The
great prohibition battle Of 1880 en-
tered its third month today, with
no prospect that it would cease its
fury for some time to come.
AS drys and vets summarized de-
velopments, each found reason TO
cheer.
The prohibitionists who started the
fuss with denunciations of condi-
tons by Senator Borah about the
middle Of December point TO as
surance from the law enforcement
commission that it does not intend
TO consider the question of repeal
or modification of the dry laws.
They also have on their side a
series of recommendations for strict
or enforcement, with that for
transferring the prohibition unit
from treasury to department Of JUS
tice already passed the house.
The drys count as victory the
administrations plan to name none
but true believers in prohibition to
any job connected with enforce
ment.
Mostly Noise
Despite the existence of the oppo-
sition, the drys declare there is
more noise than substance TO the
vets demands. Nevertheless, tie
ants so far have had the better of
IL in congressional debates of a
formal character.
Representative Franklin Fort of
New Jersey delivered the only set
speech for the dry cause, and even
that did not please extremists, while
the vets feel that their spokesman,
Senator Wagner of New York and
representative James S. Beck of
Philadelphia, made a better show
ing.
The next big gun is expected to
be fired by BOTah. He has been
assembling data supporting his
criticism of enforcement conditions,
and plans to let loose with it as
soon as the tariff bill is out of the
way.
heHect Tolerance
The vets maintain they have
made greater progress than at any
time since prohibition. They be-
lieve the hearings will be held by
the house judiciary committee on
the Dyer bill for ITS beer will boil
ster their cause. They rejoice also
at the promise of the Wickersham
group to hear Dyer's arguments on
behalf of his proposal Though
nothing definite come of these two
maneuvers, the vets declare they
reflect more tolerance and open
mindedness by the drys than they
have displayed in many years.
Rightly or wrongly, the wet bloc
leaders in house and senate think
developments here and throughout
the country are winning many adj
herents to their demands for modi-
f1cation.

fore the District authorities were

ter, Mrs. S. M. Malkowski visited
Mr.. Chambers, whose description

In the interest of expedition Of

Mr.. Nano declared that the re-

disposed to veto the Norris bill,
Mr.. Hoover expressed no prefer
ence in his message today. He
only said "it is desirable" that
the legislation "be completed"
Asks For Relief
Two specific recommendations
were made for congressional &C
| ton to assist in the business re
covery and relief Of unemploy-
ment.
I Mr.. Hoover recommended that
Congress appropriate between
500, 10000 and $3.50, ,000.0 900 for
additional Federal building in the
next six months, and that sum
be set aside for the Department
Of Agriculture for seed and feed
loans to farmers. He did not
name this latter figure, but the
amount is understood will be
about $50, 900, 900.
Mr.. Hoover rather exhaustively
analyZed the economic situation,
both at home and abroad. The
depression. he said. is world wide
In scope, due to over-production
Of basic materials, political un-
rest, and other causes.
The United States, he asserted.
has suffered less. In proportion,
than the rest OF the world. There
has been a general decrease Of
business activities in this coun-
try Of from Is to 20 per cent, as
compared to 1928. He said:
Future Encouraging
There are many factors
which give announcement for
the future. The fact we are
holding 80 to IS per cent Of our
normal activities and incomes;
that our major financial and
industrial institutions have come
through the StorK unimpaired;
thai price levels Of major com
modities have remained approx
mateIy stable for some time;
that n. number of industries are
showing signs Of increasing de-
mand: that the world at large
Is readjusting itself to the situs-
ton: all reflect grounds for con.
fidence.
eve should remember that
these occasions have been met
many times before, that they
are but temporary, that our
country today Is stronger and
richer in resources, in equipment
and skill, than ever In its his
tory"
