to more drastic searches ..:lan
Congress has authorized in the
United States, Alaska and some
OF the inSular possessions.
II do not believe this dis
elimination would be justified. 1t
Is true that. in some States. local
State legislatures have made more
drastic provisions for search OF
dwellings than has Congress in
the national prohibition act. But
that does not seem to justify lack
Of uniformity in Federal legisla-
ton.
On Wrong ROr
"Fur" srmore, in my Judgment,
effort to improve the enforce
ment Of the national prohibition
act M better be expended. at
least for the present, in other
directions than ir an attempt to
make more drastic the provisions
for searching private dwellings-
an attempt which would arouse
controversy with doubtful re-
suits"
Taking up the section which
would make a defendant prove
that he legally possessed liquor
which had been illegally seized,
the Attorney General said:
"A serious Constitutional queS-
ton arises as to the validity OF
provision which attempts to
put the Government In an ad-
vantageous position as the result
Of a seizure in violation Of Con-
stitutional guarantees; but aside
from that, and as a matter Of
principle, the Government, by
violating the Constitutional rights
Of the citizen, should not be
placed in q better position than
it otherwise would be in.
In the long run, nothing will
be gained for the cause of law
enforcement by such means"
Rest Of Bill o. X.
The other provisions Of the
Howell bill are satisfactory to the
Attorney General. He points out
that the rest of the bill Is largely
based upon q draft which the
Department Of Justice submitted
to Howell some time ago and
which was in itself based upon
a previous draft prepared by the
Senator.
Previously the Attorney Gen,
eral had objected to the pro-
visions regarding search and re-
turn Of liquor and had suggested
to Howell that he eliminate them
from the final bill.
Senator Howell, however, takes
the position that nothing is to
be gained for enforcement by
simply re-enacting for the District
the national prohibition law. He
regards the two drastic provisions
as the very meat of his measure,
and insists that their enactment
is the only means Of tightening
up enforcement here.

and whatever hopes there might
have been of securing modifica-
ton of this program for a more
malleable ministry in France
have now been dispelled.
Semi-official denialS in London
that any consideration was being
given three-poWer agreement be-
tween Great Britain, the United
States and Japan found an echo
here today. The denials, how
ever, were taken with large grains
Of salt and were considered of
the diplomatic variety.
Obviously the statesmen cannot
officially admit that a Ahree-
power pact is under considera-
ton. for to do so at this stage
Of the game, when France is still
in the parley, would be tanta-
mount to admitting that all hofe
of a five-power treaty has lAeen
abandoned. And however much
some statesmen may be convinced
that there is little hope for a
five-poWer treaty, it cannot be ad,
mitted officially so long as France
and italy are still willing to ne
gotiate concerning it.
The Hoover Administration
frankly does not want q three
power treaty, although half a
loaf is better than none, and in
the end it will be acceptable If
and when the impoSSibility of
broader five-power agreement is
demonstrated.
Elastic Clause Certain
A three-power treaty cannot be
written without the elastic clause
insisted upon by Great Britain
whereby she may increase \her
naval building if France proceeds
with plans to build up $4,000
ton establishment.
While better than nothing at
all, such a program would
obviously fall far short Of PreSi-
dent HooVer'S original conception
Of this conference as a real naval
reduction conference, embracing
all the worlds principal naval
powers.
Even with the best" of luck,
Washington now sees critical
weeks ahead for the conference,
with the ultimate accomplish
mentS probably these:

3. Sterilization Of naval cate.

he had made an extensive study
Of all phases Of the prohibition
problem. The committee gave
him close attention.
Dupont conceded that enforce.
ment Of the amendment was ef-
fective Immediately after the pro-
hibition amendment was adopted.
MY belief Is that we have
slumped continually since 1920,
growing worse and worse as
means of getting liquor have be-
come easier and the will of the
people has asserted ITSELF" he
said.
He declared that repeal of the
Volstead Act would not meet the
situation.
Drink Hard LIQUOR
People have become hard liquor
drinkers in the last 10 years and
more emphatic measures are
necessary to curb the appetites,
he said.
II do not believe that light
wines and beer would solve the
question:" he said.
LET there be no dishonesty Of
purpose. Let US 60 further and
repeal the Eighteenth Amend
ment."
Repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment, he said. would per.
nit the States to assume control.
He suggested that repeal not take
effect until a year after voted to
give the States time to adjust
themselves.
I would even be willing to
amend the Eighteenth Amend
ment to permit it to apply only
to these States who want it," he
said.
He Was Respected
The important thing, he said,
Is to put the liquor traffic in good
hands. A hundred years ago, he
asserted, the tavern keeper was
respected.
Why should we further degrade
this business by putting the traf-
fic in the hands Of the criminal
class as We have under prohibi-
tion?" he asked.
Conditions have become such
that our best citizens would be
justified in joining in such an
endeavor," he said.
That is the ultimate solution.
We must make this traffic re-
spectacle"
He suggested that ministers and
other church people might join
IN forming such corporations.
Delaware for Repeal
In reply to Representative Bach
mann (R0 Of West Virginia, he
said he sent out 100000 question
naires to Delaware people, and
over 80 per cent Of those who re-
piled favored a change in the law.
He sent out q recent queStionnaire
on repeal of the State prohibition
law. OF $4,000 replies, 90 per cent
are for repeal.
Representative LaGuardia (R.O
Of New York asked him whether
prohibition is necessary for indus.
trial efficiency.
Il was in the Du Pont factory
for 10 years, and I never found
that prohibition was Q serious
problem" he said. There was
one complaint Of conditions in one
factory and the remedy was to pro-
vide barr.
Motor Changed Life
DUPONT said the great change
in the economic life of the ma
tion was brought about by the
motor car.
This development has 50 far
overshadowed everything else that
I doubt If it can be said that
prohibition has been an important
factor IN our economic develop
ment," he said.
He told Representative Moore
(RO of Ohio that no intelligent
effort was made to enforce or
control the saloon before prohibi.
tion. The effort was to abolish
it, he said.

Mr.. Legge, former head of a har-
vester manufacturing company, said his
company had never sold implements
abroad below the prices charged Amer
lean farmers.
The chairman gave notice the Farm
Board will not buy more wheat. He
told his Dodge City audience the board
was spending 81 900 900 a month to
1929 surplus. He urged the wheat
raisers to sit tight" predicting, if they
did SO, the market would improve 25
cents a bushel.
Secretary Hyde said the farmer had
the choice of cutting production or con-
tinuing to suffer from the effects of
large SURPRISES.
