Edmonds Asks Amendment; SSyi Even Prohibitionists Prefer "Wet" Vessels. Wsshlngton, Jan. 14.--Amendment of the prohibition enforcement act to permit American passenger liners plying in foreign waters to carry and sell liquor outside the three-mile llmil of the United States was urged before the house judiciary committee by th€ steamship officials who complained that because of present restrictions foreign ships were handling the bulk of travel. Representative Edmonds (Rep.) o! Pennsylvania, author of the amendment, declared that failure to amend the law would make it impossible foi American ships to get anything except overflow travel. "Don't prohibitionists travel?** asked Representative I^oe (Dem.) of Missouri. "I understand they go on ships that are not dry because they want to en- ^y the fun," Mr. Edmonds replied. Alfred G. Smith, president and general manager of the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship line, said his company was placed at a great disadvantage under prohibition restrlc tions in competing for travel with for eign ships on which use of liquor was permitted. The act as it stands, he added, would force all American companies to withdraw from the emigrantcarrying trade. Mr. Smith told the committee thai two of his fleet now being reconditioned probably would be sold abroad "If the present law is continued,' he added, "it will force nearly everj passenger ship owner to transfer hi* vessels to foreign registry." .

CITIES MUST PUT THE FREIGHT OffMal 'of Producers' Organisation 8a ys 1,800,000 U. 8. Farmers Would Give Grain Free to the Oid World Sufferers. Chicago, Jan. 17.--"The L800.000 farmers in 87 states who are members of the American Farm^ureau federation have authorized rm. as their president, to offer enough American-grown corn to feed the starving millions ot Kurope, China, Armenia and other famine countries," said President J. R. Howard of the American Farm bureau, speaking before the members of the Illinois Agricultural association herp. His remarks threw the meeting into a surprised turmoil of cheering. This Is offered out of the, great hearts of the American food growers," he continued, "on condition that the remainder of the nation's population, the dwellers in the cities, towns and villages provide the transportation of the foodstuffs to the famine-scourged peoples of the other countries." There was another cheer, which was, In effect, a guarantee by the 800 Illinois farmers who are attending their sixth annual convention, that they were with the president of t lie national association in his proposition. "There is enough corn In the United States today for which there Is no market," Mr. Howard continued, "to save the lives of thousands and thousands of these people In the old 'world. America can win their everlasting gratitude by this movement. "The fanners will bring their offerings to the points of shipment. It will come In voluntary gifts of from five bushels to 3,000 bushels. Numerous big farmers in the great corn belt have assured me that their offerings wonld be as high as 3,000 bushels. America has harvested her greatest corn crop in history; it is of the finest quality. I have had hundreds of letters from farmers proposing this very idea. They have come from widely diversified points, so that the suggestion has really come from the association and not from Its officials. "There is Just one condition In addition to the transportation proposition that the farmers must insist upon. That is that we will not permit the corn to be collected and sold and the money applied to relief purposes. "If the farmers of this nation in their present impoverished condition can afford to give to their limit in food, then the nonproducers of the nation can afford to give to their limit in money to provide transportation to the famine areas."

Emergency Tariff Bill Reported--Ton Amendments, Broadening Measure to Include Practically All Farm Products, Added. ^Washington, Jan. 19.--Congress will be called into special session April 4, according to information given members of the house ways and means committee by Chairman Fordney on his return from Marlon, where he conferred with Presldent-eleft Harding. Mr. Fordney discussed with the President-elect general taxation and tariff questions, which will be amopg the more important subjects to come before the special session of the new congress. The chairman was understood to have told Mr. Harding the date of the session had a direct bearing on the tariff revision hearings, which the committee is now conducting, and it was said that Mfr. Harding informed him that April 4 practically had been decided upon. Carrying amendments which mahy proponents believed spell its doom in the senate, the Fordney emergency tariff bill was reported out by the senate finance committee. Supported by argicultural interests during the week of hearings On the bill, as affording vital protection to farm products, the measure on the other hand was strongly attacked by others as an instrument for maintaining abnormal price levels. Ten amendments, broadening the measure to include practically all farm products, instead of the limited number approved by the house, had been added to the bill by the committee and opponents had served notice that an attempt would be made to load on more when the measure reached the senate floor. Several senators who opposed the bill In committee were understood to be prepared to repeat their attempt, unsuccessful in committee, to add such extraneous legislation as the bill to recodify the federal laws and the soldiers' bonus bill. The determined and apparently growing opposition to the measure in the senate promised a long struggle with hours of debate before final action.
