FRANCE HOPES HELP

FROM U.S., SCHNEIDER TELLS COUNTRYMEN (By Associated Prtu) PARIS. Dec. 16 France must spend three billion francs In the United States during the coming year on wheat, cotton, oats, coal and machinery, says Eugene Schneider, who has Just returned from a mission on behalf of the government to the United States. "The American, state, as a government, the Journal quotes him as say ing, "cannot and will not advance this sum. The day of state loans to state is over. It is essentially a war measure and Its continuation would paralyze private initiative. I Furthermore, the situation among our overseas allies Is far from being as brilliant as people might think. Unforseen strikes have surprised public opinion and President Wilson's illness Is impending the whole of the machinery of government. And there are the discussions of the peace treaty. Those discussions should be regarded in their true light that is, that the opposition reported is not solely political. For the senate's Republicans the league of nations represents a breach of the constitution. Hopes U. S. Help. "This does not mean that the American government will not help us. It will support every effort we make to obtain credit by private Issue. It may subscribe an Important part thereof itself and place at our disposition the machinery which floated Its liberty loan. "American commerce and industry are not responsible for the exchange rate. They are upset by conditions which threaten the stopping of all business. This unjustified rise continues to cost France millions and benefits nobody. "I think the words of Carter Glass. the American secretary of the treasury have been interpreted here in a more pessimistic spirit than he meant them. The excess of evil will quicken the remedy and the financial committee we left over there under the protection of American bankers for the purpose of aiding Europe, of which I am a member, should be able to find a speedy solution of the troubles, which the war has provoked in the United States. "Our allies have conauered new markets in Africa, South America and Europe, and Intends to keep them. We are portrayed to them as egotistic idlers, determined henceforth to live solely on our military glory. This legend must be destroyed. It will be sufficient to show that the France of tomorrow remains the France of yesterday, which everywhere always gave a good example to the world." F eel Ban Lifted : More Reasons to Shop Early With the renewal this week, of the regular schedule of opening and clos ing. hours, Richmond retail stores offer Christmas buyers every opportunity to c-Dtain what they want if the selec tlon is promptly made. Retail store managers expect this week to break all records of ourchas ing, bnt they again Issue the warning that people must not delay. "Early morning buying" is again tne cam paign slogan. Merchants co-operating in the drive for early Christmas buying reel that their willingness to carry out every suggestion of the local fuel cris is, deserves recognition by the public and this can be done by "shopping early." Merchants who have watched the trade closely the last few weeks say that people are demanding the best in holiday goods. They point out that the men or women who say, "We'll de the Christmas buying tomorrow or early next week," are likely to be doomed to disappointment when they get ready to make the purchases. "Buy today and buy early in the day," is the campaign watchword for this week. IRISH QUESTION PUT OFF-GEORGE (By Associated Press) LONDON. Dec. 15.

WAR

DRY ACT

(Ml, SUPREME COURT SAYS Law is Held Constitutional by Nation s Highest CourtDecision Affects ".'0,000,000 Gallons Held in Store. DOESNT STOP EXPORT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. The time prohibition act was held constitu tional today by the supreme court. -. The decision, deciding anneals from Kentucky and New York Involving the constitutionality of the wartime prohi bition act, was read by Justice Brandels. Justice Brandels said the gov. ernment did not appropriate the liauor Dy stopping domestic sale, as the way was lert open by. exporting It Federal court, decrees in New York, dismissing proceedings brought by Dryfoos. Blum and company, to compel revenue omciais to permit tne with arawai rrom bond of whisky for beverage purposes, were confirmed by th court. In deciding the Question, the supreme court also dissolved .the Injunctions restraining revenue officials from interfering with the removal from bond of about 60,000,000 gallons of whisky valued at approximately 175,000,000. held by the Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse companies of Louisville, Ky. War Powers still Hold. The signing of the armistice did not abrogate the war powers of congress, associate Justice Brandels said. Judge Brandels also called attention to the continued control of the railroads and re assumption of powers by the government relaUve to coal and sugar under war acts to show that the government continued to exercise their various war powers despite the signing of the armistice. The constitutional prohibition amendment is binding on the federal government as well as the states, and supercedes state laws, the court declared. Three Appeals Made. Constitutionality of the war time prohibition and prohibition enforcement laws -was attacked - in the supreme court in three different appeals. une came irom Kentucky, where the former statute was held invalid. Two came from New York, where both acta were sustained. - Besides the minions of dollars isvested in-brewery and distilling plants the decision affects approximately 60.000,000 gallons of whiskey, valued alone at between $100,000,000 and $200,000,000. accordinf to internal revenue officials' estimates. The cases of the Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse company, of Louisville, Ky.. and Dryfoos, Blum & Company of New York were virtually identical and resulted from efforts to compel the government to release whiskey from bond. The third case, an appeal of Jacob Ruppert. a brewer, of New York, involved authority under the acts to manufacture beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol. In arguing the case before the supreme court on Nov. 20 and 21, 1919, Elihu Root and others appearing In opposition to the prohibition acts, contended that war-time prohibition was unconstitutional, because congress had no power to prohibit the sale of intoxicants within a state, except under its war power, which had ceased; that the act conflicted with the firth constitutional amendment, prohibiting the taking of private property without just compensation, and that the war had terminated, making the act obsolete and invalid. It was also contended that the Volstead law (the prohibition enforcement act) by fixing one-half of one per cent as the maximum amount of alcohol in beverages, established a new standard for Intoxicants. Mr. Root also contended that the constitutional pro-hl-bition amendment allowed liquor dealers "a year of grace" to enable them to readjust their affairs to meet the changed conditions, but despite the amendment, which he argued waa virtually a contract between congress and the states, the liquor businesses had been constantly heckled with legislation by prohibitionists In congress, seeking to advance the time for national prohibition. These contentions were generally refuted by Solicitor General King and William L. Frierson, assistant attorney general, appearing on the government's behalf, who took the position that the prohibition act is still In full force owing to the Senate's delay In ratifying the peace treaty, that a state of war technically exists, that national prohibition was necessary for the winning of the war and the establish ment later of normal peace conditions and. that such legislation came within the war powers of congress. Complied With Constitution. In declaring the war time prohibition act unconstitutional. Federal District Judge Walter Evans in Louisville, held the act conflicted with the fifth amendment and enjoined the internal revenue officials from preventing the Kentucky DisUUeries and Warehouse company from removing whiskey for beverage purposes frfom Its warehouses. The act, however, was upheld in the Dryfoos case by the Federal district court of New York, which dismissed proceedings brought to enable the company to withdraw a small quantity of distilled spirits from bond. The Ruppert case was slightly different from the others In that It Involved also the right of congress to prohibit the manufacture of 2.71 per cent beer, which it was claimed, was non-intoxlcatlng. Injunctions te restrain internal revenue officials from interfering with the Ruppert concern in producing such beer were asked on the grounds that the war-time phohlbition act as well as the first section of the Volstead law limiting alcodoUc content of beverages to' a maximum of one-half of one per cent alcohol, were (Continued on Pegs Fourteen)
