In Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Cali fornia, he declared, there is a "spendld lighting chance." An amendment to the Sheppard substitute permitting the sale of beer and wine up to June 30, 1920, was introduced by Senator 'Phelun.

"1 don't consider the passage of this bill a great victory for pro hibition," said Senator Smoot. "I think It only delays the day for prohibition. I'd like to see pro hibition now. Everybody hopes this war will bo over by June 30, 1919, and this bill does not take effect until then. Then It will be this thing all over again." Senator Kirby, of Arkansas, charged that the federal government has been favoring the ilquor inter ests ever since the war began. He said last winter, during the coal shortage, when industrial plants east of the Mississippi river were closed temporarily, not a brewery in the United Stutes was closed and when a limitation was placed on the use of Hour In bread a man could buy all the beer he wanted. Th e Arkansas Senator declared AUGUST 30, 1918. Halnbridge Colby, of the shipping board, who said If beer and wine were taken away from shipyard em ployes, production would be reduced twenty-tlve per cent, "talked like an agent of the liquor industry." Calls Amendment a "Fake"' Senator Wudsworth, of New York, said as a war prohibition measure this .amendment was a "fake" and that there never had been any "sta bility of opinion" on the part of its supporters In view of the fact that it will take two years to transport the troops to France, Senator Wuds worth suggested it might require that long to bring them back, and lie asked Senator Sheppard the pur pose of extending the operations of tlie measures until tlie "termination of demobilization." The Texas Sena tor replied that provision was in serted because the war might end sooner than is now anticipated.

He emphasized the shipping board's objection to prohibition dur ing the war as likely to interfere with industrial production and urged that as national prohibition is virtu ally certain in the spring of 1920 by adoption of the constitutional amend, ment, a sufficient time be allowed for all interests to close out business.
