GEORGE WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—When1‘ and if national prohibition goes out of the constitution — repeal advocates now say its exit on De- cvember 5 is a certainty—‘regu- !lar” whiskey and all its little brothers of the hard beverage fam- ily can be sold legally in those states which do not have dry laws of their own. National prohibition will end whenever 36 states ratify the re- peal amendment. In the opinion of both the Attorney General’s office and the State Department, i proclamation by the Secretary of State is a legal formality not pre- | requisite to making repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment effective. Anti-Prohitionists Confident The requisite number of states will have held ratification con- ventions by December 5. Leaders of the repeal movement say that by the close of that day, when three states, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Utah, hold ratification meet- ings, the required 36 will have registered their votes against na- tional prohibition. If their predictions come true, hard liquors and wines may be | placed on sale along with beer by legitimate dealers some three weeks before Christmas and about a month before the convening of| the Congress which would fix the |taxes on newly legalized bever- | ages.

This followed receipt of word that the Soviet Union intends lit- erally to rush a reprssentative to the White House. In informed but unofficial quarters, it is stat- ed Maxim Litvinof, Soviet Com- missar for Foreign Affairs, will probably sit down with President Roosevelt within two wesks and preparations for this have been made. Sudden Proposal The proposal for the recognition of Russia came suddenly. The newsmen were read a let- ter that the President sent to Russia, in which he said he be- lieves the time has come to “end the present abnormal relations be- tween Russia and the United States.” ‘When the news was given out it brought generally a favorable reaction within the Capital City. Officials expressed the opinion privately that should the conver- sations solve the difficulties in the path of recognition, trade will spurt. Good Thing Henry Morganthau, Jr., Gover- nor of the Farm Credit Adminis- tration was prominent among thos2 who considered recognition a good thing.

One of the largest financial in- stitutions has already notified sev- eral industries engaged in trade with Russia of its discounting in- tention. Federal Credit Also It is also felt certain in informed circles that the conversations be- tween the President and Soviet Commissar of Soviet Foreign Af- fairs will lead to a heavy extension of Federal credit. £ l
