He Says, However, That He Will Take Action Without Con gress After Demobilization. .;' Washington, June 28. President Wilson tonight cabled that he has no power in removing the ban on liquor at this time, aryi that he had been so advised by the attorney general. The" nation will go bone dry July 1, but the period of abstinence from all intoxicating liquors may be of only short duration. ASSURES REMOVAL. The president, in a message to Secre tary Tumulty tonight declares he has no power to . lift the liquor ban at ... tune because the act passed by tlongress provided that it remain- in force until demobilization was com pleted. He 'says he was , so advised by Attorney General Palmer. ' There are still 1.041,487 officers, men, nurses and field clerks in the . service, subject to the emergency call, he points out, and therefore demobilization is not yet completed - and his hands are tleu". But when it is completed, he assures the country, he will . exercise .his own authority in removing- the ban independent of any action , by congress. His message reads ' as follows: "I am" convinced that the attorney general is right in ' advising - me that I have no legal power at this time In the' matter of the ban on liquor. "Under the act of November 5, 1918. my power to take action is . restricted. CAT! SOT ACT 3TOW - "The act provides that 'after Jub 30, 1919, until the conclusion of the piesent War and hereafter, unm the termination of" demobilization, rthe date of which shall be determined and proclaimed by 'the president. It shall be unlawful," etc. This law does not specify that' the ban shall be lifted with the signing of peace, but wih the termination of the derao . bilizatlon of the' troops, "and I " cannot say that that has s been accomplished. .My information from the war depart ment is that there are still 1.000.000 men. in the army under the emergency call. It i clear, therefore, that the failure of congress to act upon the sug gestion contained in my message of the twentieth of May,1919. asking for, a re peal of the act of November 21. 1918, 1 - - t 1... .
