THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAS, PORTLAND, JANUARY 26, 1919. U. S DRY EXPERIMENT PUZZLE TO ENGLAND Even Anti-Liquor Forces Doubt That World Will Be Dry. SOME CONCESSIONS MADE Peajco Conference May Hearken to .'.Plea to Save Chinese and e groes l-'rorii Exploitation. BT JOSEPH W. GR1GG. (Oopyrlshc. 1010. by the .New York "World. Published by Arrangement.) LONDON. Jan. 24. (Special by wire less.) The ambitions of the American Anti-Saloon League to create a dry world by 1930 caused, h. smile today even among the anti-liquor forces here, who cannot imagine Great Britain fall ing into line with such a policy. Even its agent here, William. R. Johnston, formerly chlel officer of the' United States Indian- Service, smiled when a.-ked about this rosy prospect painted by Edwin C. Dinwiddle In America. "Britain is conservative," was his comment. Until the passport restrictions are' relaxed and transportation facilities are greater, t will be impossible for the Anti-Saloon League to establish its' chain. of headquarters in European and African sections, which it intends doing. 'In tire -meanwhile, its peace conference committee, .composed Sot Bishop. James Cannon, of Richmond, V.j ; L. B. Musgrove. of Birmingham, Ala., and Rev. II. B. Carr, of Nashville, Tenn., after- a short stay in England, ape seeking the car of President Wil son and others' In Paris to try to pre vent the liquor interests from exploit ing the African negroes, the Polynesian natives and the Chinese. Some EnrouragemeDt Given. In this latter connection they have received much encouragement here. They also want to prevent any eco nomic agreements made whereby for eign wines might be Imported o America. Mr. Johnston, the Anti-Saloon League agent here, said to the World corre spondent tqday: .... . "We are doing nothing-to force our opinion upon the British. I am here at their invitation, and am only trying to assist them along lines suggested by their anti-liquor forces. It will be unfortunate to have it misunderstood that we are here under any other auspices." Mr. Johnston has been speaking in Scotland, and he said many boroughs will vote for local option by 1930. He divulged no roseate views about quick results in this country.- In a letter to Ben Willett, a labor leader. Food Controller Roberts prom ised today a 25 per cent increase in beer and there would have been more if Herbert Hoover had not refused a permit" to export barley -for brewing purposes. British Views Divergent. Although many people believe that the American prohibition experiment will have some effect in this country, tbjere is a wide divergence of opinion iibout it. Bernard Shaw said to the World correspondent today: "Vef. it will have a very consider able influence. We are, or sbould be. infinitely obliged to America for mak ing the experiment." Arnold Bennett took exactly the op posite view, saying: "I do not think that America's prohibition experiment will have any influence on the work for social welfare in England.' Father Vatlgljan sides with Mr. Ben nett, saying: "1 do not think that the going dry of America will influence the drink question in England." W. A. Appleton, secretary erf the General Federation of Trade Unions, says: "Let the working man have his drink of beer, which may go to his head, but it does not destroy his liver and his good nature."
