BATTLE FOR REPEAL TOPENTONORROW Michigan to Name Delegates With Wisconsin Next, on Tuesday. (Conginued From First Page.) adopted State-wide prohibition prior to national prohibition, 24 by referendum votes, 8 by State legislative enactment and 1, South Carolina, by what amounted virtually to a State-wide vote. ‘While the campaign to end national prohibition goes forward, the dryness of the country will be attacked from another angle. Next Friday legal beer—3.2 per cent alcoholic content by weight—may flow in those States where the dry ban has not_existed or has been removed. Dr. McBride expressed the opinion that the constitutionality of this beverage would be tested, perhaps in many places. He indicated, however, that the organization he represents will not as an organization bring the court test, but it will be made by individuals. The drys contend that 3.2 per cent beer is intoxicating to some persons and is clearly unconstitutional. While their is, generally speaking, to pr manufacture and sale of all intoxicating beverages, there is a feel- ing among the drys that it would per- haps be just as well to permit the country to have a test of the proposed beer. ~They belleve that when the country starts to drink beer on a large scale, it will be just too bad for the ‘wets; that the sentiment will swing strongly &! the dry cause again. “Beer will prove too heavy a burden for the wets to carry,” said one of th:> most prominent dry leaders. ‘It will prove a boomerang.” D.

In July, elections will take place in Alabama, July 11, with convention date still to be set; Arkansas, July 18, with convention August 1; Oregon, July 21, convention date not yet set. Blocked in Three States. ‘The State of Washington elects dele- gates to a convention August 29 and the convention meets October 3. New Mexico holds its election of delegates September 19 and the convention will meet November 2. In 24, or one-half of the States, both houses of the State Legislatures have passed bills providing for election of delegates to State conventions, and in another half dozen States one house has acted favorably. Only three of the State Legisldtures meeting this year so far have adjourned without putting through legislation for the elec- tion of delegates—Georgia, North Da- kota and Kansas. A total of 43 Legis- latures are in session or to be in ses- sion before the close of the present year. Much is likely to depend uj how many of these Legislatures fail to enact laws providing for the election of delegates to State conventions. There 15 no uniformity whatever among the States in the matter of se- lecting the delegates to the conventions, and no effort at all to have them synchronize. In Michigan, wet and dry slates of delegates have been nomin- ated, while in other States provision is made for nominating slates of dele- gates wet, dry and unpledged. In Ala- bama the Legislature wrote in the act providing for a State convention a ref- erendum on repeal, which must be voted along with the election of the dele- gates, and the delegates are to be bound by the outcome of the referendum. Dry leaders insist that if such action is taken in Alabama, it will be submitting the repeal question not to a conven- tion, but to an out-and-out referendum of the people and therefore will be unconstitutional. The Governor of Ala- bama vetoed the bill, but it was passed over his veto, and will stand unless amended before the Legislature ad- Journs. i ‘The wet-and-dry fight in Michigan and Wisconsin has not aroused wide- also the fact that the wets are be- leved to ha 1k - race those su:e-.ve o n BEER TO BE SOLD FRIDAY.

CHICAGO, April 1.—The Chicago Hotel Association voted today to ask brewers to withhold deliveries of beer to hotels, cafes and resturants in Chi- cago until 7 am., April 7, to assist in an_ “orderly return of beer.” John Burke, president of the asso- ciation, said: “With the beer prevented leav- ing the brewerles until 12:01 am. (April 7) we believe the crowds wait- ing to celebrate the return of beer would become intoxicated on illegal liquor and would give a black eye to the new order at the very beginning.” It was expected that the brewers would take action on the request to- morrow. Several hotels had planned to open bars to welcome beer as soon as it became legal. The association’s recom- mendation was not mandatory upon them. e TWO PRISONERS SOUGHT Chicago Sends for Man and Wom- an Wanted in Slaying.

Mr. Shouse had reference to the fact that never in the history of the country has an amendment been submitted to State constitutional conventions—but always to State Legislatures. Mr. Shouse included i his statement results of popular elections dealing with the prohibition question in both Michi- gan and Wisconsin since the submis- sion of the eighteenth amendment to the States. The voters of Michigan, in 1919, turned down a proposal to amend the State constitution so as to permit light wine and beer by a vote of 530,123 to 322,603. In 1932, however, the pen- dulum swung far to the wet side in that State, and by a vote of 1,022,508 to 475,265 Michigan repealed State con- stitutional prohibition and provision for the State liquor control system. The voters of Wisconsin in 1920, by 2 vote of 419,309 to 199,876, ratified the State prohibition enforcement act. Nine years later, by a vote of 350,337 to 196,- 402, Wisconsin repealed the State en- forcement act. In that same year, the people voted, 321628 to 200,545, to amend the State act to permit 2.75 per cent beer. Another test of sentiment was held dn 1926, when a petition to Congress to amend the Volstead act 50 as to permit 2.75 per cent beer was carried, 349,443 to 177,602. ‘The battle for repeal of the eighteenth amendment—and ‘for - its- retention— promises to stretch out for months and perhaps years to come.

By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,, April 1.— Ecnomists, in addresses before a ses- sin of the Academy of World Economics at the University of Virginia, were agreed today that world-wide tariff re- ductions are necessary for any revival of world trade. | treaty with Great Britain covering debts They differed, however, as to the method by which tariff barriers should be lowered. Oscar T. Crosby, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury undér President Wilson, advocated “a general a) to free trade by unilateral tions that the tariff schedules cf the United States will all be reduced by 5 per cent of the present figures on January 1 of elch‘ of 20 succeeding years.” He said he be- | lieved such an example would be fol- lowed by the entire world. Urging simplicity in international agreements, the speaker voiced opposi- | tion to cancellation cf debts, but fa- vored reductions based on other na- tions’ judgment of their capacity to pay. He expressed the hope that Presi- dent” Roosevelt would proceed at once, without a world conference, to make a and customs which might set an ex- ample for other nations.

SUNDAY SESSION BANNED ST. PAUL, Minn., April 1 (—Rep~ resentative Emil Youngdall of Mme neapolis told the State House of resentatives today it should meet to- morrow, but was overruled by a chorus of “nays.” He presented a mgtion for a session, saying the Bible declared it was fitting on that day to pull one’s ox from the pit if it fell in. For that reason, Youngdahl argued, there could be nothing against meet- ing Sunday to pull the people from the “gu of depression.” He was sup- ported by a few members, but the House voted to adjourn until Monday.
