The plan to have the question Of
repeal submitted to State conventions
rather than to the legislatures is re-
garded by the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment as favorable to
its cause.
The convention plan also is held to
be an advantage by the Anti-Saloon
League-at least in States whose legisla-
lures are wet-for this plan, it holds,
gives the drys another chance to seek
and perhaps win dry support. Actions
py some States in the November 8
election, by which State dry laws were
repealed or repeal of the eighteenth
amendment advocated, are not regarded
as necessarily significant by the Anti
Saloon League. The league believes
that such action in many cases was
taken as the result of what it terms
political pressure and machine control
of the elections
The Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment probably will con-
centrate its forces in the doubtful

While plans were being completed for
a temperance rally to be held in Wash

statement in criticism of the annual

When the crusaders, the Women's
Organization for National Prohibition

wet leader of the Illinois Senate most
active in pushing repeal legislation was
Senator Dan Seritella, known in Illinois
politics as the Capone representative at

Breweries "Small Alley Affairs"
"The underworld is opposed to Fed
eral prohibition. The underworld can
not cope with Federal enforcement.
which in the past four years has begun
to drive the underworld out of liquor
and into other criminal operations.
Wherever criminals wish to expand,
they are more prosperous when they
violate State laws rather than Federal
laws, circumstance which ought to
point the danger of the repeal of ma
tional prohibition and the restoration OF
the liquor business under State laws.
Prohibition breweries are small alley
affairs, not more than two stories in
height, and most Of them could be
placed in one corner of an old-time
brewery. Speakeasies contain few
bottles of liquor. in contrast to the
hundreds of gallons of the old saloon
the $4,000 speakeasies boasted about
by the New York vets have dwindled
to a possible 1000 under competent
scrutiny. Mayor Cermak closed 162
beer flats In Chicago and declared the
beer fiat situation in Chicago had been
completely solved"

Officially informed the Chinese Ma

Marshal Chang HSiao-Liang, north

This was the principal obstacle to

ers expected their army would be right

Manehukuo troops were in the fore

Jehol under the rule Of that government
set up year ago by the Japanese.
Chinese army of 47,0O0 was con-
centrated in the Kailu area, hanging to-
gether despite continual air lombard

weeks. Each section of the japanese
offensive is estimated at only about half
that size. Their planes and modern
equipment. however, are in their favor
japanese promises of work and food
IN return for allegiance to the state of
Manchukuo were repeatedly winning
groups of irregular Chinese troops to
Japans side.
Late japanese reports disclosed that
the advance over the ChinchoW-
Peipiao Railway met with strong op-
position. First reports of its completion
on Tuesday night did not mention any
nghting. The japanese conceded later
that there were casualties on both sides.
ANY points actually still held by the
Chinese were expected to be cleaned up
after Jehol City Is reached. This was
the strategy in the Japanese advance

NEW YORK, February 23.-Some OF
the older executives in Wall Street may
be feeling the strain of the depression,
but a few have stepped forward recently
in a way suggesting that they are nei-
ther tired, discouraged nor lacking in
optimism.
The real stalwart of the veterans is
Leonor F. Loree, who, at IA, startled the
financial world with his calm announce
ment of 10 per cent purchase in New
York Central Railroad capital stock.
Loree, head of the Delaware & Hudson
and Kansas City Southern systems, is
described by associates as one of the
youngest men in Wall Street, in spirit,
at least.
Another seasoned figure to enter the
arena of active business after a partial
retirement is Frank l.. Dame, head Of
the $870,000,000 North American Co.

of Edwin Gruhl, only lately elected to

THE farm strike can accomplish
nothing. It lacks the unity necessary
