TUMULTT. CHAPTER XXXIX PROHIBITION. On of th thing! for which th Wilton Administration wai held to "strict accountability was the pat at of th Eighteenth Amendment to th Federal Constitution, eitab Ushing nationwide, prohibition. Unfair eritie of the I'retident, in their fooliih attempt to charge the administration with every nnntual Aappenlng in the eight years of Dem scratic ontrol, had stated that the President was the real motive force that lay back of th movement to establish the Eighteenth Amendment at part of the fundamental law of the country. Aa a matter of fact, during the diaenation of thia amend ment in the Senate and Homo, fhe Freiident maintained toward it an attitude of absolute neutrality. While h wai aa ardent advocate of tem perance, he felt that Congreaa ia en forcing the amendment by the pas sage of the Volatead act,' to extreme and unreasonable in character, had gone a long way toward alienating the tupport of every temperance hiv ing eitizen ia the country, and that certain of it provitiont had ttruek at the foundation of our government ly it arbitrary interference with pertonal liberty and freedom. He frit that the practical unanimity with which the Eighteenth Amendment wai tupported a rote from a nation wide resentment againtt abutet by th American saloon and the eeo nomio evila that had grown out of the unorganized liquor traffic. He frit that it wai unreasonable for Congress, in the Volstead act, to de clare any beverage containing aa ex "ceai of one-half of 1 per cent of alco hol intoxicating, and that to fram a law which arbitrarily place intoxi cating and Bon intoxicating bever age withia the tame elaasiucatloa was openly te invite mental re tentment againtt It He was of the opiaioa that it required ' ao eom peemiae or weakening of th light- S...J,.... i -s t. jUl Justly aM fairly with th eeriotii protett that followed th enact meat into law of the Volitend act He was, therefore, ia favor of permit ting the manufacture and aale, under proper governmental regulations, f light wine and been, which jetton, ia hi opinion, would make It maeh easier to enforce the amendment in its essential particular and would help to end the illicit traffic la liquor, which th Volstead act foatered by it very severity. Thi would put back of th enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment th public sentiment always necessary to th execution of law. Satisfied with a reatontble recognition of their right to personal liberty and control of their personal habit, he believed that the Agiericaa people would be th readier to turn their attention to the grav iirae of reconstruction and steadier in meeting these issues which would test te the utmost our capacity for progressive self-government, v. ws nik niu , Time and time again when we dis cussed the Volstead enforcement act, he would say: "The wrong way of doing the right thing. You cannot regulate the morals and habits of great eotmopoeitea people by placing uurtasonabl restriction upon their liberty and freedom. All such at tempts can only and. in failure and disappointment. Ia the last analysis ia these matters that seek to regulate personal habits and customs, public pinion is th great regulator.

Deliberations Remain Secret. Like the deliberations of the lesser group the actual state of affaire in regard to the naval ratio remains se cret, with tho result that in itt pret ent pbtte most of tht happenings of the conference must remain n mya tery to tho public. Even the dele gatei of some of the nation repre sented herevare ignorant of what is in the minds at th naval "big three" Hughes, Balfour and Kato who ar described at regarding it at a ''matter of honor" not to divulge what happened at their two confer caret on Friday night.

By some Jspanese the question of accepting or rejecting tho American proposal for a 51-3 naval ratio i regarded bringing Japan face to face with one of the moat important decisions of her history. Bound ap ia the problem are many vital con sideration! of national security, and the expectation her is that ao hasty action will bo taken. Tks latest suggestioa to gain cur rency ia unofficial discussions here is that ths much discussed consortium of foreiga powers for China may fur nish the'baeis of a plan by which the pWere can units to aid China financially nnd at the earns time stabilise political coaditions ia the Far East.
