Another provision would direct the pro- hibition commissidner to hold down the importation and manufacture ef liquor to actual requirements of the people for non-beverage use and permit the import- ation and manufactire to supply current ‘needs after the present liquor supply in the United States has been exhausted. Chairman Volstead declared in a state- | ment that the principal object of his bill Was to-meet the situation created by the opinicn of Attorney General Palmer in regard to the use of beer and win for medicine. ; “That opinion, inveffect holds” he said, that the commissioner of internal reve hue has no power to limit the quantity of such liquors when prescribed, though the law expressly provides that the com- missidner shall limit all permits. “The bill prohibits doctors from pre- scribing beer. It is idle to argue that there is any real necessity for beer as medicine. Leading doctors everywhere deny that it has any value for that pur- besides, everything in beer except the alcohol can be had in the so-called near-beers without any prescription. Thirty-eight states prohibit beer from being prescribed. “The measure does not prohfbit the use of wine but ' It re-enacts 'in mcre specific language, if that is possible, the Injunction’ that such preseriptions must be limited to the actual needs for med- ical use.” Concerning the ‘provision directing the commissioner to hold down importation and manufacture of liguor whiel *theré is stock on hand, Mr. 4 “There is no sense quantities of liquor to B& manufactured that if used at all must be disposed of for illegal purposes. There are about 40,000,000 gailons now in banded warehouises, a supply largely in excess of what can be legitimately used for several vears” In tentative regulations announced last week by Prohibition Commissioner Kram- er, but which must await approval by David M. Blair, the new commissioner of internal revenue. an arbitrary limit of 4 7/3 gallons of beer.and three gallons of wine was fixed as the maximum that might be preseribed by a physiclan at any'time. Mr. Palmer had ruled that the law fixed no limit. E of what Commissiones Mr. Volstead _indicated that the prohibition_forces in the house were prepared to take the beer bill by the horns and let ;the- world know “that there will b# no iseer.” The will reterred to. Mr. Volstead's eommitiee for hearing and’ ‘report. Members opposed @ any modification_of the ‘dry lad said tonight it probably would be reported to the house, substantially as drawn. There were. predictions from many dry quart- ers that'its passage was certain. Mr. Volstead is strongly of the opinion he said, that there will be no turnback on the question. of prohibition, even in the face of a. cry from many sections that congress give the propesed. beer reg- ulations for the sick a tryout. After turning thumbs down cn beer an¢ putting extra safeguord around . the medical use of wine, home made or im- ported, the new Voistead bill would close the’ gates to importation of liquor and shut down distilleries until the - present bonded warehouses. had been exhausted. Mr. Viostead declared there-was no. sense in' allowing large quantities to be Im- ported or manufactured while there was o much on_hand. Still another would ‘meet the demand ' from some quarters , that the . attorney general should have a more direct share in the enforcement of the law. - As explained by Mr. Volstead, it requires that the at- torney general shall fave notice of all applications for permits to sell or manu- facture liquor or alcoholic medicinal preparations, and ‘that public notice of the application shall be posted so that the. attorney general or any person who may have knowledge of any violations on the part of the applicant: may object to_this permit being granted. - Permits at present. the judiciary som- ittee chairman said, are granted with- ut. any notice to the attorney general, and he has no opportunity to object to their issuance. The bill would give the attorney general power to cancel permits for the same reason that the commission- er of internal revenue Is authorized to cancel. : tightening up section L W. W.

In the senate, the Knox peace resolu- tion, revised fn minor detail, was reporj- ed favorably by the . foreign relations commitiee, and announcement was made by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, re- publican Zeader, that it woulds be called| up . tomorrow. Two _similar resolutions dealing sepa- rately with Germany and- Austria, were introduced in the house by Chairman Porter of the foreign affairs committee, who announced that they would not be taken up until after the semate acts on the Knox measure. / Although tie senate Is to begin formal consideration tomorrow of the Krox res- olution, it was not certain tonigut that actual “debate would start befors V/ nesday. Neither Senator Knox of Penn- sylvania, author -of the resoluiion, ner other republican leaders contemplated de- bating the measure tomorrow and demo- crats also were not ready to begin, dis- cussion. That senate debate would consums only a few days was predicted by both repub- lican and democratic leaders. A final vote Jaté this week was regar@ed as pos- sible. The final draft of the Knox raso! as reported today differed littls from Segator Knox's original measurs. 1t would repea. tie resolutions decliring a state of war with Germany and Austria, reserve ali American rights and privi- leges under the treaties of Versailles and Trianon, and hold. subject to fu- ture disposition, the property of enemy aliens. 3 As distnguished from the senate measure, the Porter resolutions would Asclare the state of war at an end bu* without repeal of the war resolu ¢ns. Representative Porter explained that (n reveal the war resolutions “might be construed as a disavowal of the war.” NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL - CONSIDERED IN THE HOUSE ‘Washington, April 25.—Disarmament { | dicsussion side-tracked consideration of the naval appropriation bill in the house today, when Representative Kelley, ‘re- publican of Michigan, (brought ~forward the committee proposals ‘to provide $396,- 000:000. For the navy’s mext fiscal year, of which $90,000,000 would be used toward completion of the 1916 building program. The' expansion program, Mr. Kelley .a serted, would help “to lft the load now on tne:shoulders of the world for armas ment eonstruction and maintenance.”” - “When the ‘ships we are building have been completed,” he said, “the United in thé world,Sard will be in a position Gffer. proportionate . reduction “in_ar Theodore -Burton, republican of Ohio. former Senator, supported the commis spokesmari in his declaration for an ad: quote mavy. He declared, however, that the “timie has come for an international conference ‘for the sake of stopping this maddening petition for the construction of armadas.” This view was endorsed by ‘Representative Byrnes, -democrat of South Carolina. “The only question now,” said Repre- sentative W. Bourke Cochran, democrat. New York, “is whether nations will di arm while there is still sonie of their civilization left or wait nuntil the weap- ons are pushed out of their hands by fhe | utter and complete collapse of their in dnstrial fabrie.” He .emphasized the point by introdue- ing a resolution to authorize the presi- dent in view of “dreadful economic con- ditions which can be remedied only by immediate and active employment of all human hands and capital in productive industry,” to offer on behalf of the Unit- ed States to disarm, and in case of re. fusal to meet “great military forces es- tablished anvwhere resolutely by ecrea- tion of greater forces on land and sea Representative Mondell republican lead- er discussed the bill itself briefly remark- ing that the senate had proposed to in- crease the amount $100,000,000 hevond the house proposals as made at the last session. but arguinz that the increase airplane carrfers and larger personnel | should ‘be considered matters of Jegis tlon, to be provided for later if commit- tees expressly charged with naval affairs should endorse such plans. FELLOW PUBLISHERS ARE TO PRESENT HARDING A CHAIR New York, April 25.—A chair made from a'rib of one of the first American warships is to be presented to President Harding by fellow publishers throughout the United States, it is announced by Ernest F. Birmingham, editor of the Fourth Estate, who has heen_ coliecting subscriptions of one dollar edéh. Recalling that when President Wilson completed his term the members of his | cabinet purchased from the government the chair which_he had used at cabinet meeting for eight years, the donors de- sire President Harding to have a cabinet chair of his own which he can take te Marion Ohio, when He retires to private lite. They regard it as a_glorificatior of the “editorial chair” which' he occupied for a quarter of 2 century. % Through the courtesy of Stephen H. P Pell of New York, the chair will be made from ‘the warship Revenge, which was sunk In Lake Champlaim by the British on Oetober 11, 1776, and ralsed in 1903 from thé Jake bed adjoining property which' has been owned by the Pell family for generations.

A P Austen Chamberiain, former chancelior o fthe exehequer, taking the place of the present chanceilor, Sir Robert S. Horne, presented the budget in the houss of commons vesterday. Removal of the ex- cess profits duty was announced some time ago. The chancellor’s estimates. of revenus and expenditure of A4 year ago have been borne out with remarkable ac- curacy, a surplus of £230,500.000. oniy about £4.000,000 under the estimated sur. plus being recorded. No additional taxation is proposed and there will he no.further re-fiction of tax- ation in the current year. The chiet Points are, removal of the surtax on ol ars and replacement of the existing fix- ¢4 duty of seyen shiilings and an 1d va- loram duty of 33 1-3 per cent. em spark- ling wines by a specific duty of 15 shill- Ings per gallon. Thess changes have producing - onl instead of the expected £3,000, coming year. The chancellor characterized the past year as one of the most remarkable th England’s financial history, and declared that the financial results wers satisfac- tory when it was taken Into consideration that his last statement was made when trade was booming amd prospects were Tosy,.and that upon that sunny prospect there descended with almost - unequaled suddenness and completeness deep de- pression, which still continued. The house was chiefly interestsl in de. tails, concerning debt reduction, espee ially the announcement that the debt te, the United, States had been redueed 75, 000,000 during the past vear and -that in- terest on- the debt to the United States must be provided for next year. The debt to Canada had been reduced £20.000.000 in the year. while all Aebts to Japan. Spatn. Argentina, Urnguay and Holland had been wiped out®. He empha- #ized the importance of reducing the. ex- ternal debt, because it interfered with ex- change and trade, and announced as a remarkable achievement that in twe Years the external debt had been reduced by £203.000,000. In this connection he satd that the ra- maining 5 1-2 per cent. five vear netes maturing at New York in November. amounting to $11,000,000 would he ‘paid off, while an arrangement had been made Wwith Canadian banks to remav the Cana- dlan lebt by monthly instaliments. With regard to the internal debt Mr. Chamberlain regretted that it was Impos- sible yet fo find the floating debt, which had been redueed in the course of the year only by £37.000.000, instead of the anticipated £70.0000,00, but a° start would be made to fund the war debt. A new forty-year 4 1-2 per cent. loan. would be issued immediately for conversion n- to_war bonds maturing In 1925.
