 washington, Nov 16-- (UP)- President Hoover, defeated Tor re- election but faced with one or the gravest situations in his four years administration, returned to Wasn- ington today ito plunge into dis- cussion of international economies war debts, tariffs, and the problem of turning over the government 10 the new management without dis ruption of the national machinery.
 Returning from his 8,400 mile railroad journey from coast to coast. the president was represent ed today as feeling that prompt and unified action by all factions with in the country is essential to an early settlement of world prob lems. And he feels that a tre- mendous advance has been made through President Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt's expressed willing ness to discuss these problems with him.
 Mir Hoover somewhat rested after the strain of election week, is an- xious to present Q united front to Europe on the war debts question, and he counts heavily not only on his coming conference with MT Roosevelt, but upon discussions with democratic congressional leaders, to end domestic differ ences.
 MT Hoover may seek to confer with democratic chieftains over the weekend in preparation for his White House conference with Roosevelt. scheduled tentatively for the first of next week.
 There was some disposition among administration quarters to believe the European gesture led by Britain and France was part Of a united European front against further payment of war debts to the American government until their demands for downward re- vision were met satisfactorily to them.
 Signs of this unity of action on the other side of the Atlantic were seen in the similarity of notes from various debtor nations and the

threat of default on other payments d1,e between now and the end or the year. The president was be- Iieved therefore to feel no time should be lost on this end In unit ing on a plan of action here.
 The presidents attitude ail through the delicate war debts problem has been that the Ameri- can government would have again to cut it's cloth of collections to the pattern of the ability to pay of the debtor countries. There is no reason to believe he has under gone a change of heart, although he reiterates still that he remains opposed to further reduction or cancellation of war debts.
 Nevertheless. he is convincen some change in the method or coi- lection will have to be reached to meet changed conditions and pre- vent the complete collapse of for- eign markets on which American factories and farmers depend. This change he desires to discuss with Governor Roosevelt, with whom he will go over his own ideas and plans for the best way out for this country.
 MT Hoover realizing the excep- tional nature of his proposal to Roosevelt, made the move. his aides insisted, for the common good of the nation," rather than a smart political move, as some profess to see it.
 He is willing to assume full re- sponsibility for the acts of his ad- ninistration, even during the in- terim before March 1, 1t was ni- derstood, but acted in an eIort to move along lines approved by his successor rather than taking ar bitary action on his own opinions only to have his policies blocked by the democratic house and the whole American attitude held up while Europe moves in unity.
 Even at Chillicothe, Ohio. and Parkersburg. w. Va, where the President and Mrs Hoover have stopped on numt rous occasions during the campaign, crowds again turned out during the evening. .Well need you again four years from now" one man shouted.

Somewhere between sub-zero near-beer now permitted, and a beer with an unquestioned kick, lies a compromise. A compromise that will make the brew palatable, with maybe just the least bit of 8 lift to 1t, and yet not intoxicating beyond any reasonable doubt. In the range between 2.75 per cent and 1 per cent lies that compro- mise, a beer that the thirsty would be glad to get, and yet which leaves enough doubt as to its intoxicating properties to get the benefit of court approval and avoid a possible veto by President Hoover, who is at heart a dry.
 And How Soon?
 Any alcoholic content up to 4 per cent is debatable, with equally reputable authority on both sides. Much of the light lager beer sold before the war was only around } per cent, and nearly all beer was under 4 per cent.
 The O'Connor-H Hull bill, defeat ed 22S to 169 last session, but certain to come up early in this one, provided 2.75 per cent by weight, cents a pint tax, and salB in bottles only. Between the extreme vets, fighting for the limit at per cent and the drys, such a compromise seems likely.
 But suppose such bill is passed? Can you get your beer immediately? Maybe. Has your state a prohibition enforcement act like the Volstead act, prohib- itin5 drinks of more than h of 1 per cent alcohol? The chances are two to one 1t has, for only 15 states are at this moment legally prOpared to receive beer even Il

congress iegalizes it. Before the past election there wer six: Nary land, New York, Massachusetts, Nevada, Montana. Wisconsin. Nine states repealed their enforcement laws in the last election: Michigan, Louisiana, Washington, New Jer- sey. California, Oregon, Arizona, North Dakota, Colorado.
 That makes IA states which have repealed enforcement acts since national prohibition (Mary- land never had any), and makes eligible to receive whatever con- gress offers them. But in the other 33 states, even if the na- tional law is repealed, the state law remains,
 Furious fights are certain in the legislatures of many of these states to repeal state laws and get them in shape to profit by any national modification. The A. F. of l.. and the Crusaders for the vets, and the w. c. T. U. and Anti-Saloon league for the drys are already active here.
 What of the States?
 Bear in mind that so far as congress has power to legalizt beer at all. 1t must do 1t on the theory that it is non-intoxicating That brings up the next problem If congress declares 4 per cen' beer on-intoxicating, 1t is pOssi. | ble that practically all the Etat' laws (which set a 1-2 of pei cent limit) will become uncon stitutional, being in conflict witl a law of. congress And then al restrictions on this revivifies | beer are off.

 There will be literally scores of beer bills thrown into the hop per as soon as the gavel falls. In fact there are scores left over from last session. The Judiciary committee will have to hold hear ings, weed out those with very high or unlimited alcoholic con- ltent, and pick one which seems likely to get court approval This will be fought bitterly bsah m committee and on the floor, Tor the drys are going to battle every inch of the way.

 If modification should b' blocked in the Lame Duck ses sion. 1t is certain to go through % in some form when the newly, elected congress meets in. re. sponse to an expected call from President Franklin D Roosevelt after his inauguration March 4. |
 For the astounding overtufn 1T the recent election completel, changed the complexion of con- gress. The Lame Duck" con gress lines up: House. wet 1SS dry PAT; senate, wet S1, dry 65 But the new congress will line up: House, wet 323, dry 26, un' declared 86; senate, wet 6l, dry 30. undeclared 5. Thus the drys lose 221 seats in the next House and 35 in the senate, almost 2 complete reversal.
 It is thus clear that in the nex session House and senate VII both be democratic and wet bS good majorities.
 The platform on which it wa. so overwhelmingly given power promiscd: 1. Repeal of the 18th amendment by proposing. repealer to truly representative conventions in the states called tt act solely on that proposal D.. Pending repeal, immediate modification of the Volstead ac to legalize beer and other bev. erages 'of such alcoholic content as is permissible under the con stitution."
 With such tremendous ma jority, the new congress Is cer. tain to modify in some way, ever If the Lame Duck" congress does not.

How to Repeal

How to Repeal
 But at the root of the matter lies the 18th amendment. The democratic position is clear. It implies complete repeal, turning back the whole matter to the states and clearing the federal Constitution of any specific men, tion of liquor. It demands that the federal government use its power to "enable the states to protect themselves" against out side liquor traffic, does not imply any substitute amendment to take the place of the 18th.
 Attorney General Mitchell, how ever. believes that If a substitute | amendment seemed to congress necessary to give the federal gov ernment power to protect dry states, such a substitute could be either written in one piece with kfhe repealer or submitted at the same time. In that case the states could accept or reject either or both. Thus the form Tn which repeal is submitted is most Important. It could be submitted in such form as to make adoptoin almost impossible.
 While undoubtedly a drive for lrepeal will be made in the Lame lDuck" congress, it has less 1 chance than in the new one. Then there is almost certain to be a repealer, either with or without | a substitute, i submitted to the states.
 | However, the "bone drys' do not concede even this. Mrs Ella Boole, president of the w. c. T. U,, says she does not believe even the new congress will achieve the two thirds majority needed to submit repeal to the states. vary. ing degrees of vets seem assured of 323 in the next House. the drys 26, with SC undeclared. Tnat is plenty more than two-thirds. The senate will be closer. The best estimate is 61 wet, 30 dry, 5 undeclared. Thus the vets need at least three of those undeclared senators to have their two-thirds. 36 States Needed
 It is in the states, after the pre- liminary battle of submission IS won in congress. that the bitter est fights will be fought.
 l For of course the adverse vote of 13 states can block any amend ment to the constitutoin, 70 states being necessary to ratify. fl The dry strategy will be to put up as bitetr fight as possible

English Chemist
Discovers NeutrOn

Baltimore, Feb. 27.-P)-The
discovery in Cavendish labora-
tory, Cambridge university, Lon
don, by James Chadwick of the
'neutron," a particle SO minute it
carries no electrical charge, and
hailed as the greatest find in the
scientific world since the cleo
tron, the proton and the X-ray,
was announced Saturday by the
Baltimore Sun in a dispatch
from the Manchester Guardian.
The "neutron" is described as
one Of the ultimate particles in
nature, so tiny it would take 2OO,-
000, 600, 000, 000, 900 100000 to make
a mass Weighing an ounce. Neu-
irons are not waves, the Dis
patch said, but particles. But
they have as particles, hitherto
unknown powers Of penetratios.
In the realm of astronomy and
the evolution of the universe,
neutrons are of fundamental i'm
portance, representing the first
step in the evolution of matter
out of primeval electrons and

NEW RUSSO-JAPANESE
WAR THOUGHT REMOTE

Washington, Feb. 27.-(P)-Dls-
pleased as it may be over Japan's
activities in Manchuria, there is no
serious belief here that Russia Will
risk another war with the Nipponese.
The disastrous experience of 1904
and 1905 Is still too fresh In mind.
The attempt of Car Nicholas to
fight 5000 miles from home with q
single-track railway as the only
means of communication cost him
his absolutist rule and, eventually,
the throne. The Trans-Siberian rail-
way is little better today than 1t was
then.
It is double-tracked only In limit
ed sections and Soviet rolling stock,
especially locomotives, is mostly old
and in poor repair.
In killed, wounded and captured,
Russia lost over $4,000 men in its
war to dominate Manchuria, while
the japanese losses were only about
10000. In the q intervening years
Japan has made remarkable adj
vances as a military and naval power.
