PROHIBITION IN AMERICA.
"WET" AGAIN FOR A TIME. PRESIDENT WILSON'S ATTITUDE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 30, 5.5 p.m. Washington, Oct. 27. The Association Press interprets that President Wilson's veto means a "wet" spell in the United States until national prohibition becomes effective under the constitutional amendment next January. The ballot on President Wilson's veto was expected to be very close, the present industrial situation being a factor in the decision.
Several Senators declared it would be unwise to open saloons with strikes and riots threatened throughout the country. The ruling of the Department of Justice | was that the wartime ban cannot be lifted till peace is ratified officially.— Reuter.
President Wilson explained that he had vetoed the Prohibition Enforcement Bill became of the inclusion of clauses enforcing wartime prohibition. President Wilson contended that only those clauses based upon the constitutional amendment ought to be included. Congress leaders hope to pass the Bill over the veto.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
