The work of munitions supply will

England will Increase her own out
put, giving American firm* an op
portunlty to supply American need*.
Wheat supply must be considered
In this connection, the British prob
ably will give their experience with
liquor In war times, and their ad
vice may have much to do with
what this government determines
with respect to suggestions for cjos

now eat up a vast grain supply
Discussion of the blockade of

BY ROBERTJ BESDER
I Staff Correspondent Unite l Press )
WASHINGTON. April 20 —Wheth
er "war prohibition” Is to he an
emergency measure of the present
congress will be determined shortly.
ITesiden* Wilson and his cabinet
today planned to take up recom
mendations of Secretary Houston
for legislation covering the entire
problem of food, Its conservation
and distribution It Is expected
that Houston's suggestions will be
laid before congress next week and
simultaneously the government’s In
tentions toward “war prohibition”
may he divulged The prohibition
question, officials now realise fully,
is too closely connected with the
food problem to be considered
alone
The question is now directly tip
to President Wilson and his cabinet.
Congress, anxious to get sway,
doesn’t want to do anything It
doesn’t have to do, which might de
lay Its departure.
It has therefore decided not to
consider prohibition or anything
else at this aession unless President
Wilson specifically asks It a war
emergency legilatlon.
