WARTIME ORY LAW. UPHELD BY’ FEDERAL COURT I TEST CAS (Continued From First Page.) not on @ day before the conclusion o That the law is unconstitu- tional in that it contravenes amend- ment 10 to the Constitution of the Unied States—reserving to the States respectively such powers as that of regulating the sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors within each re- spective State. "i “4. That the act of Nov. 2, 1919, is unconstitutional and void in that it contravenes the provisions of the eighteenth amendment which pro- hibits after January, 1920, the sale of intoxicating beverages and thus spe- cifically withholds from Congress un- til January, 1920, the power to pro- hibit the sale of spirituous and in- toxicating Mquors within any ucular Btate. “*(5) That the Act of Nov. 21, 1018, is unconstitutional in that it provides for the operation ahd enforcement of provisions for war after the determin- ation of the war and until termind- tion of demobilization by the ex- press language of the atatute, which thie shows that the act Is to com- tinue after the war emergency has ended and the war subsided, and, “ 6) That the information does not allege any emergency or necessity which could be denominated war, and which therefore could be a basis for such legislation.’ “If Congresa had the power. to enact this particular law for the purpose, of conserving food and in- creasing the sufficiency of the pro- duction of supplies, &c., for the army and nity,. it is no objection to an exercise of that power to say that it! thereby accomplishes prohibition of the sale of alcoholic liquors, which, under other amendments of the Con- stitution, is left to legislation by the particular States.” After quoting @ number of pre- cedents, Judge Chatfield decides: “By analogy {t must be held that the prohibition of the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors through the exercise of the power to leyy war ig within the right of Congress in the exercise of its discretion,” As to the point that a state of peace has been restored, Judge Chatfield ways: “As & matter of fact we are still technically at war with Austria, and the army which has been con- dueting the war with Germany and with Austria is not in fact demo- bilized.” Judge Chatfieli dismisses the plea that the Constitational Amendment in itself denies the power of Congress to declare prohibition before ttie amend- ment becomes effective next January. He says: “It is @ mere incident that the prosecution of the war may néc- essarily accomplish some of the same results as the prohibition amendment when that shall be in force,” “Phe present law is not to be held valid,” the court holds, "just because it fs a prohibition measure,” and goes on to show from the text of the law that Jt was passed to conserve man power and food apd munition ‘re- sources, Congress canngt be limited, the deci. ston gtates, as to its war measures by constitutional amendments taking ef- fect in the future.

Willlam H, Hirst, counsel for the New York State Brewers’ Associa- tlon and the Society of Restaurau- tours, tesued a statement to-day which he described as his “personal view” of the probibition situation and Which was entirely independent of his profeasional connections. “e-*The prohibition stiuation strikes ye like this," he said. “Timid per- sons in Congress and rabid persons out of Congres are dynamiting the Nation by foisting extreme prohibi- | tion on the oduntfy.

The Senators said they had been told that Premiers Clemenceau and Lioyd George represented to the President that they were bound by the agreements of their Governments with Japan, and that if the Jepanese statesmen were to be converted to any other views the President titmeelt would have to undertake the attempt.
