WET MEASURE ARE SUBMITTED TO PRESIDENT Deluge of Bills to Offered Congress, —_ WASHINGTON, Sept, 17—The first of an expected deluge of bills to modify the Volstead law was lala before President Coolidge by Representative Dyer, Missourt. Dyer told Mr. Coollage he would Present a measure in December per- mitting 2.75 per cent beer. He asked administration support for such a measure. Mr. Coolidge did not make any promise; The effort ta set the administra tion to adopt a “liberal” attitude on this question will not end at that, however. Dyer gave notice he would be back at the White Hous: later to discuss his bill again when he has completed work on it. In addition, other members of congtess and organizations interest- ed in getting the present prohibi- tlon laws liberalized, will lay be- fore Mr. Coolldge, before congress meets, a huge petition, signed by many citizens in the many states, in support of a beer and wine program. The object of this is to show the administration that there is a great popular demand for such legislation. Tt will be suggested that this senti- ment should not be ignored with a presidential campaign coming on. To counter the move of the beer and wine advocates, dry forces have been preparing their own data on public sentiment and have been urg- ing that citizens petition congress against any weakening of the law. —_»——_ Torrid Wave of Heat Drops on San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, Gept. 17.— This city, of which chill nights are characteristic, experienced one of the moat torrid on record last night, the thermometer touching 80 de grees in the 11 hours of the morning, it was sald today at the weather bureau. ‘With a normal period after night fall, the mercury began several hours later to rise.

Strength in the corn market counted also as a bullish factor. Demand for wheat, however, lacked volume. The opening, which varied trom un- changed figures to %o higher, with December $1.01% to $1.02 and May $1.07% to $1.07%, was followed by @ slight sag and then by a moderate general upturn.

The close was unsettled at a range varying from %o off to %c net gain, with December $1.02 to $1.02% and May $1.07% to $1.07%. Reports indicating that damage by frost to corn had been better than was generally supposed led to higher prices for corn and oats.

Need Money at Home, The movement among Japan's militaristios to make thelr country dominant in all international affairs The militaristic leaders will be un-| relating to the western shores of the able to engage in foreign ventures| Pacific must be given up. This and their ¢xpavsionist schemes mi movement, which to many observers give way for years to come to domes-|Semed to indicate a future Pactfie tc economy necesary for the recon-| War, cannot be pushed forward while struction of Tokyo and the other de-| domestic reconstruction calls for @ vasted areas. Out of the most terrible earthquake destruction in Japan's history a democratic form of government may emerge. The earthquake came at the precise moment when the ap- peintment of Count Yamamoto as premier by the reactionary influences marked the opening of a ner struggle between the democratic forces of Japan and those favoring @ continuation of the clan and mill- taristic autocracy which has the final say at Tokyo in all important mat- ters of policy. Impertalism Checked Had there been no earthquake, Count Yamamoto would have been expected by the reactionaries to de- velop @ policy of tmperialistic ten- dencies, especially aimed at overa- wing China and making Japan’s in- fluence at Peking dominant by means of threatening gestures. The enormous property losses caused by the earthquak nd the confi: , tion on Japan's main island h abruptly terminated such activities by the new Yamamoto cabinet. Instead of distracting domestic at- tention from the anti<lemocratic tendencies of Japan's leaders by !m- rerlalistic steps abroad, Count Yama- moto must give all of his attention to saving his country from falling to third or fourth class rank as a world power, The present calamity is more devastating than Japan has ever suf fered through any war, because the Japanese islands ha never been invaded by an enemy. The result ts as {f a war had been fought with!: Japanese territory and the enem:; had been more ruthless than the Ger- mans tn France. Faced by such a situntion, the re actionary Japanese political leaders will have to amend their foreign polictes entirely. No money will be forthcoming for aggressive move- ments abroad. All of Japan's sur plus wealth for an indefinite time must be used to recons..uct the de- vastated areas. This {9 a work which will call for @ united front by the Japanese regardless of party connections, Amid such movements democracy finds itself, Count Yama- moto, conservative opponent of pro- gressive ideas, must become the in- strument of democratic reconstruc- on or he will be swept from power. FAIL LABOR BOARD SAID TO BE UNION MENAGE CALGARY, Sept. 17.—Denunciation of the United States railway labor board as the tool the employers and of the strike as “too powerfy! a weapon" for workers engaged in essential public services to employ, marked the address of A. R. Mosher. president, at the convention of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employes today, The United States raflway labor board, Mosher declared, “is freater menace to railway employes than any other combination of indi- viduals on the North American con- tinent.” He accused the board of aiding railway managements in their “at. tacks upon the pay envelopes of the workers” and referred to it as a United States government tribunal which has “made itself ridiculous in the eyes of every right thinking person on this continent by decl [ne that @ living wage for workers was impractical and Impossible," revival of the samural spirit for do- mestic salvation, Japan has been considering plane for reconstruction of Tokyo and the surrounding area for some time. But @ cost Was considered prohibitive ana only small, plece-meal plans were accepted. Now, however, replace- ment on a gigantic scale has imperative.
