A group of Senators and Repre- sentatives will protest discontinuance of the market news service to Secre- tary of Agriculture Wallace as soon as he returns from his Middle Western tour June 30. That is also the date when it is proposed to discontinue the service. Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, will head those protesting the ; move. The decision to urge continuance of the service was made today after the Senators and Representatives were ad- vised by Budget Director Douglas that power to continue the service was in Wallace’s_hands. The National Grange and other farming organizations have protested to members of Congress against the abolition. Senators Robinson of Arkansas, Ken- drick of Wyoming and Fletcher of Florida and Representatives Jones of ‘Texas and Ayres of Kansas, all Demo- crats, are among those who are in- terested in retaining the service.

FARLEY HAILS RESULT. Bees Possibility of Repeal Coming Within Present Year. The result of the vote in West Vir- ginia, Postmaster General Farley said William _ Allen White, famous Kansas editor, is a dry. But he believes that if public opinion in a majority of States, though not a constitutional majority, decides for repeal, it will be contrary to pa- triotism for the drys to insist upon retaining the eighteenth amend- ment. He defines his views in this dispatch. BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE. LONDON, (By Mail).—Returns from the State elections where prohibition has been submitted to a referendum indicate an overwhelming majority in favor of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The friends of the amendment in these elections do not attempt to ex- plain away or to discount the obvious meaning ‘of the returns, which indi- cate that in these particular States public opinion definitely has rejected the principle of prohibition of the liquor traffic Year May Change Opinion. It is of course possible that under new conditions which may arise within the next year, when other States shall vote on the question another v of the matter may reveal itself in the ballot box. The States that have voted so far for the most part have been Industrial or semi-industrial Friends of prohibition may feel that when elections are held in the South and in more of the corn-belt States another opinion may be expressed. Be that as it may, a certain presumption is warranted that the opinions thus re- vealed in States widely separated in- Tepeal. Yet it is not impossible, though un- likely, that 13 States might stand by prohibition and thus leave the country in chaos so far as regulation and con- trol of the liquor traffic are concerned. For so long as the amendment stands the States will have no right to take over a system of license, regulation or State distribution. Public opinion in & majority of the States, though not a constitutional majority, would make enforcement of the eighteenth amend- today, was “an indication of favorable results for & prohibition repeal vote in three other Southern States voting next month, Alabama, Arkansas and Ten- nessee.” “West Virginia and California prove the statements we have made from time to time are justified by the results in these States,” he said. “1 have sald that practically every State in the Nation, if and when given the opportunity, would vote for repeal. “It looks now as if the eighteenth amendment would be repealed during the !fiesmt year. g result in West Virginia, which can be construed as the first Southern State to vote, is an indication of fa- vorable results in Alabama, Arkansas ::d"“'{'ennme. which States will vote 7. 'WETS LEAD BY 78,000. CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 28 (#).— Upsetting one of the remaining bul- warks of dry hopes, West Virginia today has become one of 16 States to vote repeal of prohibition.

With 1,990 out of 2,338 precincts re- gorud the last available count stood 00,627 for repeal and 120,479 against. In the Northern Panhandle section and areas holding steel plants, glass factories and other industries, the wet tide rolled up strongest, CALIFORNIA 3 TO 1 WET. SAN FRANCISCO, June 28 (®)— California, land of wine grapes, was in line with 15 other States fave Te- peal of the eighteenth amendment to- day by a vote holding steadily at more than 3 to 1. From San Francisco, where the bal- Joting in yesterday's special election was 16 to 1 for repeal, across the northern counties and into the one- time dry stronghold of the South, the wet tide surged. Returns from 6,312 precincts, all but 85 complete, showed: For repeal, 718,- 723; against, 228,083. Even the two southern counties of Orange and Riverside, which refused to join the other 56 in discarding the State prohibition law last November, ‘were on the verge of swinging over into the wet column. In Southern California, generally, the :oote in favor of repeal was nearly 3 1. ‘The voters also favored a proposal to legalize pari-mutuel betting on horse racing, with only San Diego County, Just across the border- from the Agus Caliente track, remaining doubtful. The count on the proposition in 5,448 com- plete precincts out of 9,347, was, for, $34,359; against, 243,598. Minute Mystery Solution to FORDNEY LECTURES KELLEY.

Moreover, in Congress, if a majority of the people in a majority of the States overwhelmingly declare for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, FPederal enforcement would be aban- doned and the bootlegger with all his criminal train would be established by public opinion as an extra constitu- tional purveyor of hard liquor. He would be untaxed, uncontrolled &nd would for his own defense have to set his own laws and enforcement of own laws, a government inside a government. It is unthinkable this condition should prevail Moreover, this status would be as odious to the advocates of prohibition 88 to the enemies of the eighteenth amendment.

But, after all. we must not for- | get that prohibition was not established ;by the fanatical drys, nor will it be overthrown by fanatical wets. Regarded Economic Issue. Prohibition nationally cams gradual- ly after 75 years of experiment with local control, and came only after it had the support and indorsement of business men, industrialists and small merchants. They looked upon prohibi- | tion as an economic issue and not as a mora] issue. Their idea in support- | ing and establishing total national pro- hibition was that it would put more money in the banks and turn the | money wasted in liquor into the cof- | fers of the merchants, and hence away from the economic waste which had | arisen as a result of the overstimulated | sale of a habit-forming drug. ‘These business men of varying ranks, good Americans and never fanatical, made the prohibition majority in the various cities and States which excluded the saloon before 1920. They were not of the left wing. They were not ex- cited by the preachers. They were not | converted by emotional religious cam- | paigns. They supported prohibition, | rather casually, as one of the many issues then before the people. They have sustained it casually, hoping for better returns.
