MRS. COOK SAYS ].
 DRY LAW SECURE
Tells D. A. R. It Will Never Be
 Repealed by People

Washington, April IA Pl-The
 prohibition issue was brought before the annual congress of Daughters of the American Revolution today by
 Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, of
 Cooksburg. Pa. an honorary presl- dent general with the assertion that
 the 18th amendment will never Do
 repealed.
 There are at stake in our na-
 tional life today" she said in an
 address at the opening session of '.the congress, ''certain issues which
 are So far-reaching that they are
 not matters alone of politics or of
 partisanship. One of them is of the
 utmost importance to the men and women of America, to the mothers and fathers Of the men and women of tomorrow. The issue to which I refer is whether or not We shall ay individuals stand back of the en- forcement of the 18th amendment Of the constitution of the United States of America.
 My advocacy of law enforcement
 and my individual support of the 18th amendment are already well known; I claim no powers as seer,
 but if every magazine and news
 paper in America today that is try ing to swell its circulation by cor-
 ducting a poll as to whether the
 country is to be wet or dry, were to l unanimously announce wet deci- sion, l shall still have faith enough and confidence enough in the sober judgment of the American people at their regularly constituted voting
 polls. to prophecy that the 18th amendment not only will never be
 repealed, but that in each succeeding year of our democracy. it will be more and more successfully up- held.

situation was, that if no agreement is reached on the controversial sec tions, they simply can be left out and the treaty written on the basis of those points on which there is agreement.
 The delegation was said to be re- sponsible for the first hitch with re- fusal to sign a clause on the so-call- ed compromise between the global and categorical methods of naval measurements for limitation pur- poses. Gioacchino Russo, under secretary of marine in the Italian cabinet, speaking for Dino Grandi, who is i'll, notified the treaty drafting committee that he could not agree to insertion of a clause dealing with limitation method, feeling rather that this question should be sent back to the League of Nations for consideration at a future conference and included in the London pact. Clause Also Bothers
 The other hitch was in connection with clause which will release
 either Great Britain, Japan, or America from the three-poWer limi- tation treaty if any outside power France and Italy are contemplated should begin unusual naval con-
 struction, varying views are held as
 to the form this clause should take. One school of thought is that if
 such an eventuality should arise the
 three powers should hold consulta- tion and vote to release the threat
 ened member from the treaty. The opposing view is that such national
 action sould be entirely autonomous, and the justice of the action decided
 by the threatened nation itself, with duo notice of any decision taken to the other treaty powers.
 The treaty drafting committee, in
 which Ambassador Morrow i. taking
 a leading part, worked over Sunday | in getting draft of the documen
 ready to cable home to the five gov I ernments. It was hoped to straight en out the sections which are still
 being fought over today or tomorrow
 and have the draft completed by to-
 morrow night. The treaty is expected
 to run about 1o,000 and 15,o0O 1 words. so the task of putting it on
 the cable and telegraph lines to four 1 widely separated capitals is not a 1 small one.
 Comment on Broadcast
 Considerable comment was arous- ed in London today by radio broad cast of Colonel Stimson to America at 6s0 p. m. yesterday morning in
 which he estimated 5s0,00o tons re-
 duction in the fighting craft of
 Japan, America and Great Britain as a result of the treaty, and, revealed for the first time total 220,000 tons reduction in non-fghting naval craft Colonel Stimson said: we have reached the lowest level Of limitation that I have ever heard seriously dis cussed." In his address, which wa. of some length, he also paid tribute to the work done by the other American delegates, and hailed the projected treaty as marking a definite end of naval rivalry between the United States and Great Britain
