American Telephone was down
to 1913 IA, ex-dividend off 2 is
and other utilities followed. Atchi-
son led a dip in the rails, losing 2
points to 81 Ia. Oils Joined the
decline and all Of them registered
small losses.

Vets Facing Losing
Struggle In House
Vote Next Monday

legislate and tax 2.75 per cent beer
at barrel, They estimate It
would produce $300,000,000 or
more in taxes year. This Is based
on the presumption of 66,0OO,0OO
barrels of beer year, assuming
the same ratio OF consumption
again plus rs per cent population
increase since then.
This, however, does not allow
for the fact that many states prob
ably would continue statewide
prohibition against beer-some OF
them even forbid near beer now.
This proposition has no chance in
congress now. That again vets in
vite defeat In order to dramatic
their cause.
In these activities vets arc dis
playing a new aggressiveness. They
have one persuasive orator In the
house In Rep Beck, repn.. Pr.
They have shared parliamentary
startegist In Rep LaGuardia, repn.
y. Y. otherwise they can boast OF
little except few muscle men
whose lun-power has been OF UNI
certain aid.
In the senate their star per-
former this year Is Senator Bing-
ham, reup., Conn. whose outstand-
ing achievement was to force
showdown vote unexpectedly on a
referendum resolution. It mustered
only a scattered handful and the
Inflated sortie brought a good deal
OF criticism from his wet col
leagues.
At the present rate of wet gains
II probably would be years before
even n slight change in the Vols
tead alcoholic deadline could be
achieved for the senators and con-
gressmen are for safety first.
The anti-saloon league long age
discovered the secret OF controlling
congress by organizing back home
rallying constituents. Pressure or
senator's and congressman caused
many to desert the brass rails OF
old pre-war Washington to hurry
to the capitol to vote dry.

League Of Nations
Plan To Straighten
Out Far East Mess
II Is Modelled to Fit the Pattern OF the United States
Far East Policy-So Say British Leaders

Secretary Stimsons letter TO
Senator Borah cleared she air to
some extent" he said. But even
now It IL not clear what might
happen II the league invoked sane
lions. That has been so driven into
the British consciousness In the
past ten years that II has created
q feeling-not Of mistrust, because
they are convinced the British
government Is determined to CO.
operate with the United States
bu. feeling Of uncertainty over
how to cooperate with the Unit
ed states and know exactly what
the United States might do under
any given circumstances"
Lady Astor, the Virginia born
member OF parliament, took the
view that the United States could
not do much In the east without
the league.
when the United States re-
fused to ratify the league coven-
ant" she commented, people said
the league could not function with
out America and was only half a
league. It Is still only three-quar-
tiers of q league but the league
goes on and Is functioning. As a
matter OF fact, America could not
function very we'll In the far east
to-day but for the League of Ma
tons, so the boot Is on the other
foot"
The draft resolution framed by
the league assembly for settling the
far eastern question was interpret
ed here as placing the league, with
only the possible exception of Jap
an, sQuarely behind the Washing
ton policy.
Diplomats pointed out that Bri-
tain could not run the risk of be-
coming involved in an economic
blockade of Japan. The govern
ment therefore had been cautious
in associating itself directly with
American efforts.
A survey of British public opin-
ion indicated to-day that there is
rot as widespread interest and
feeling on the matter as might be
supposed. A considerable portion
CT the public regards the affair as
Il comic opera war which is, in
any event, more important to the
United States than to Great Bril-
tain.
The majority of the thinking
population is pre-occupied, firstly,
with the domestic economic and
financial situation: secondly, with
the European situation on repara-
tions and war debts. and thirdly
with India. For fourth place in in
terest, China Is about on par
with the Oxford Cambridge boat
race next week.
Britain's course with the league
is revealed as follows:
Britain and France definitely
declined to associate themselves
with the United states note of Jan
7 to Japan for two reasons. Firstly,
II was feared then that the United
states might contemplate some d.
rect action. such as an economic
blockade OF Japan. which Britain
and France definitely opposed.
Secondly and more important. Il
was realized the dispute would be
put before the league assembly.

was to offset the feeling among
some Americans that Great Bril-

British caution in supporting poll
cies set forth at Washington.
Sir Walter Layton, the econ
ornist, indicated to the United
Press to-day his belief that the alb
sence of the United States from
tho League of Nations, to which
Britain has assumed obligations,
Is responsible for much of what
appears to be the lack of complete
Anglo-American cooperation.
He explained the existence of
serious uneasiness" in England
over whether the United States
would cooperate in any eventual
sanctions the League of Nations
might invoke in any dispute.

Federal prohibition agents will not

"We are concerned only with the
large law breakers" Walter L. Pc
ters, deputy prohibition administra-

at the source of supply rather than
to molest New Years eve celebrants.
OF course, if minor violators be-
come obnoxious and are called to
our attention we viii have no al
tentative but to act. But we are
counting on police and sheriff's
deputies to take care of such cases.
Peters said agents will be assign
ed to strategic points in the II
counties comprising the Southern
California district.
Locally police had only an an
cient city ordinance on which to
base raiding activities. A vigorous
campaign, however, was mapped

WITH PRESIDENT HOOVER'S

Dec. 28.-President Hoover passed

The President and his party
we're enjoying the cruise down the
winding Florida waterways, and he
indicated he intended to remain
on the Sequoia rather than hurry
along south by train.
The President did not fish yes
terday but spent large part of
the day going through mail taken
aboard at st. Augustine and doing
some work on the war debts prob
lem. The reason for the work on
debts was not announced. The
trip had been planed to relieve
the President of such effort for a
few days.
Experts in these parts declared
the Sequoia would require over a
week to go through the shallow
waterways 10 CIle MldIIll llSIllIlS
grounds at her present slow rate
of speed. The President is eager
to catch a real fish or two before
he returns to Washington next
week.
The chief executive appeared to
be thoroughly enjoying his holi-
day. He has been fishing only
twice but has remained in the open
on the broad decks of the Sequoia.
Both he and Mrs. Hoover were in
good spirits.
The slackening speed pleased the
first lady if not her husband-for

board to view the picturesque seem
