President's view dampens hopes of wet victory
Washington July 10 The presidents view linking demobilization speed to Germany's treaty terms and ratification sparked debate in Congress. Prohibition advocates fear demobilization may not finish before the dry Constitution takes effect January 16, while repeal supporters hope full demobilization comes after army cuts to 325,000 by September. War department plans aim for that level. House debates enforcement of war time and constitutional prohibition as Senate panel outlines core features for later action. Congressman Steel argues constitutional prohibition requires concurrent state action.
