The prohibit- ion amendment to tho Federal and tho Volstead enforcement act were upheld to-d- by the United States Supreme Court Tha decision weeps aside almost tho last hope of the wets. The court's action mcan3 that the bono dry law la established firmly as the rule of the nation. Sale of any beverage containing one-- i half of one per cent or more of alcohol is forbidden In every State In tho Union regardless of statutes adopted in the defence of State rights. Such measures as have been passed by New Tork, New Jersey, Rhode Island and other States are nullified. Thn court's ruling, given after three months of egal attacks on prohibition, ls com- plete victory for the Government and he dry forces. Sustaining tho amendment the court jlcd that prohibition Is a subject which may be dealt with properly ln lie constitution and does not In any nay conflict with other articles in that document. Hardly had tho opinion been read when counsel for\ the wets aeclared they would file petitions for shearing on all the seven cases In- volved. Sir. Justice Van Devanter gave the decision of tho court, which, on the basic question Involved that of up- holding prohibition was unanimous. Tlie majority opinion dealt only with an announcement ortne decree cover-.- n; the actual litigation of the seven ascs. and, contrary to precedent, did 'yiot set forth the reasoning of tho court n arriving at Its decision, cruet jus-t.c- e 'White stated he regretted the ourt had not seen fit to outline the s'eps leading up to Its decision.

It was from Justice V 'Kenna's words that the wets found heir chief solace. He questioned tho e taken by the court In withholding rom the public Us reasoning and sup-oort- the rights of States to regulate enforcement of prohibition. An express and implied grant to the States Is con- tained In the phrase \concurrent power\ and he Insisted that the States should cave \uniform united, harmonious and oncoruant action with the Government n enforcement\ In his stand Justice McKenna prac- tically reaffirmed the position of the minority of the Judiciary committee In t report on the Volstead act. Leaders o' the wets and drj's were present when decision was given and immediately f'irtrer declared they would try to f r.d some new angle from which they 'itht attack the law. Ml question of the right of Congress io interpret the constitutional provision f the prohibition clause halving now Vn determined, It Is tho prevailing be- -' here that the liquor Issue will bo- rne a big factor In politics.

This action by. America is desired by tho Allies to enable them to reach an agreement regarding the distribution of tho indemnity, recent detflopments in the States having raised the question ln the mind of tho Entente whether America would claim her share of the German payments. The Idea advanced In official circles here Is that if tho United States re- fuses to bo represented or to claim a share of the indemnity the Allies would be Justified ln working out a plan In which America would not be Included.

Apparently the Republican National Convention and the opinion of Franco-America- n newspaper correspondents that a Republican victory at the polls ls more or less certain are causing the Allies to reenvlsage the Indemnity prob-- lem, with special reference to the Knor resolution, which is accepted here as embodying Republican Ideas.

There will be no battle on the convention floor over the treaty plank of the Republican plat-for- An inner group of the Repub- lican leaders, representing all fac- tions on tho resolutions committee, met this afternoon In the room of Senator Kellogg (Minn,), one of the mild reservation leaders, and agreed upon the plank which will undoubt- edly be approved by the full commit- tee and by the convention. Senator Lodge (Mass.), the floor leader, wus present at the conference, along with Senator Crane (Mass.), Senator Lenroot (Wis.). Senator Smoot (Utah) and Senator Borah (Idaho). Senator Watson (Ind.), who ls slated to be chairman of the resolu- tions committee, was unable to at- tend, because of important confer- ences elsewhere, but his views were known and his approval was assured The plank Is virtually that drafted ln tho rough by Senator Lodge, with the assistance ot Senator Knox (Pa.) in Washington and modified slightly by Will H. Hays, chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee. Three Principal Points. It contains three cardinal points as follows : I. DtnuicIatUin of the Treaty jf Versailles,, lncjudlns the LeagU\ of Nations covenant as presented to the Senate by President Wilson. 2. Indorsement ot the action ot the Republicans of the Senate tn pre- venting the ratification of the Wilson treaty. 3. Indorsement of the Knox plan for an International court o( arbitrat- ion. To avoid trouble with the bitter end Senators, led by Hiram Johnson and Borah, it was decided to avoid specific indorsement of the Lodge reservations. In Its flnul form the plank may be con- strued by the bitter enders as voicing disapproval of the entire leage covenant, whether protected by Americanizing reservations or not, and yet it docs not, repudiate the action of the mild Repub-bica- who voted for the Lodge reser- vations. The i.latform will pledge the party to continue Its attitude of opposition to ratlflcatloVi ot the treaty as submitted. This declaration is In effect borrowed from the Indiana platform. But from this on there ls a divergence. The Indiana plank proceeds to pledge tho Republican party to sustain the doctrine of Monroe. The national plank will ex- pand this to Include also a pledge tu maintain tho policy of Washington toward foreign relations. That Is, the Monroe doctrine excludes European countries from America, while the Wash- ington doctrine of the farewell address withholds America from European en tanglements. Senator Borah (Idaho) Is credited with proposing the modification of the Indiana plank which made It acceptable to himself, Senator Johnson and the rest of the treaty irrecondlables. Senator Borah, however, declared at the time that he was not among those consulted, and he subjected the Indiana formula to a scrutiny that was nowise predisposed In Its favor. At the end he sent word that !f a clause could be In serted that would Include In It a reaf- firmation of the Washington policy he could accept the plank. nnruh Aftreea to Plonk. Senator Borah said to-d- he would be satisfied with this statement of tlie policy, and admitted his understanding that all elements were united on it. The fact that this delicate subject has been brought to such satisfactory de- termination was given y as one reason why Senator Lodge probably would be made temporary as w ell as permanent chairman. There Is nc longer any particular occnslon for a demand on the part of the Irrecondlables for the measure of recognition which they claimed at a time when there wns a pos- sibility of a contest over this plank. Conferences were held y by groups working In connection with plat- form and policies commltteo of the Na- tional Committee on various features of the platform. The final framing of the document, as a result of the thorough study that has been given by the com- mittee ot 171 and Its presents some dlfflcultls becauso m much excellent material has been brought to hand that a proper condensa- tion Is difficult In some cases. This has been found particularly true In the treatment of tho scries of economic and soclnl questions that concern taxation, the high cost of living, deflation and re- lated matters. To lie Lowe, nxhnnattre Plank. The necessity of making a clear, un- derstandable, meaningful statement of the essential fundamentals In this con- nection has compelled tho preparation ot a plank that is long and rather ex- haustive.

Bu a Staff Correspondent, of The Sum IM) New Yoik Hqulo. Chicago, June 7. One real flush ot news, a shaft of sunlight ln the fo?, has broken through tho mlnigo mill the mystery of the- - Republican Na- tional Convention preliminaries. It is this: The Old Guard, weak- ened nml fearful ns it stands, hits determined to put over Frank O. Lowden. If that be humanly possible. Fuillug In this Messrs, Smoot, Crane, Hert, and Wntson, etc., plan to sum tuons a committee of twenty repre- sentative Republicans nnd ask them to agree upon a candidate. In other words, the Old Gunrd. weakened by tho illness nnd absence of strong headed stnlwarts, even di- vided unions themselves, are forming a hollow square with Lowdcti in N centre. For One Last Grantl Stand. With their faces to the foe nnd thenx is something admirable ln the pluck of these harassed leaders they plan one last fight, knowing that the odds are Ave to one against them.- - They plan one ultimate battle, nnd then, If It must be, they will give in nml labor meekly with the Liberals anil the middle of the roitdertownrd the selection of n candfdnte io can win. The Old Gunrd prays for Lowden or darkness. If the excellent Gov- ernor of Illinois must be bl-.it- en to his knees, must collapse underth9 burden of thnt Missouri dough bug. must, in short, be eliminated lecaus of the shuddering fear of what the Democrats would say from ptump to -- stump about Pullman car porters and Pullman passes to the White House, then darkness a sliort recess for con- ference nnd whispering would bo welcomed. Out of thnt might come something vnltinble to the conservn fives, for If they enn't get the whole loaf they will take a slice. That proposed nominat- ing committee of twenty, an unheard of thing ln Republican conventions, planned ns it ls, has Its opportunities for such subtle ones ns Senator Smoot of Utah nnd Murrny Crane of Bnck Bny, not to speak of tlie unctuous Watson. However, the Idea is to name tha committee sincerely and representa- tively and to abide honestly by Its de cision If It can reach a decision. Names on Conference List.
