PRESSURE PUT ON G. 0, P. FOR DRY LAW STAND Party’s Prohibition Leaders Are Cornered by Militant Wets. ty firrippt-Hovnrd A' nc*paprr Atfianee WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—While Democratic politicians are specula tins: whether Speaker John N. Garner, a presidential possibility, is .■wet or dry, evidence accumulated today to show that the Republican national convention may be unable to straddle the prohibition issue. Senator W. W. Barbour, successor to the late Dwight W. Morrow of New Jersey, announced that he will urge repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and that he is “em--I>hatlcally opposed to equivocation or compromise." Barbour believes a majority sentiment exists against prohibition and that "the Republican party should not, and can not, afford longer to ignore the issue or take any halfhearted stand upon it.” "The prohibition question,” he fedded, “is one that can be solved 'only by facing the problem squarely and courageously.” Senator Barbour’s announcement odds to rapidly accumulating worries of Republican dry leaders, like Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, national chairman, who are hopeful of avoiding a fight on the floor of the convention. From east and west Republican delegates are preparing to go to Chicago to fight for repeal of the dry law. In the east it is expected that the New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, and part of the Pennsylvania delegations will join with delegations from Wisconsin, Colorado, and Pacific coast states to demand a repeal pledge in the party platform. The anti-prohibition demand is becoming so determined that many Republican leaders are urging that the administration take no stand for or against prohibition, but leave

Accumulating interest in Speaker Garner’s 1932 prohibition views forecast that Democratic politicians will not consent to an evasive platform. Recent successes of Democratic congressional candidates, pledged to repeal or modification, have persuaded leaders that- the Democratic candidate will be unable to pussyfoot. Former Governor A1 Smith is expected to lead the fight at the Democratic convention for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and substitution of a “home rule” plan whereby Ohio or Texas, for example, could decide whether it wants to regulate the sale of intoxicants.

TONGS IN U. S. BURY HATCHET TO AIDIN WAR SIOO,OOO Daily Is Being Raised in This Country to Help Fight Japanese. By I nitcd Pre** NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The Chinese laundryman who inspects a mystifying "tickee” and hands you your shirts, and the übiquitous waiter who serves your chop suey are raising more than SIOO,OOO daily to help finance the fight with Japan, leading Chinese citizens in America, have revealed. Rival tongs have buried th£ hatchet. Elderly Chinese who have saved money twenty or thirty years for their own burial near their celestial ancestors are contributing this burial money to the common fund. Chinese communities also have instituted boycotts of Japanese goods. The money is being spent in several ways. Some is sent to Shanghai refugees. Some is rent directly to General Tsai Ting-Kai, defender of Shanghai. And some is being spent in this country to train a corps of young Chinese as aviators. In New York, Chinese worpen will hold a “dragon dance” in the streets of Chinatown next Sunday to collect funds. More than $17,000 has been raised by the Palais D’Or restaurant on Broadway since Jan. 29—but the proprietor doesn’t seem to mind when his orchestra plays “Japanese Sandman." Arrangements to lease a Long Island airport and training a corps of about twenty-five young Chinese as aviators, has been reported. In Milwaukee, ten Chinese already have begun flying lessons. Three are ready for pilots’ licenses. Their training is being §nanced by the Chinese Patriotic Society. Chicago Chinese will hold a mass meeting -Saturday night to raise funds for tfie training of another group of thirty-five fliers.
