Republican leaders have abandoned hopes of a vote on the prohibition recommendations of Presi-
dent Hoover and those contained in the Republican platform.
Dry organization leaders, still determined to fight, gathered in pessimistic mood at a hotel near the capitol. It was adjacent to the "watch tower” from which Wayne B. Wheeler used to keep his eye on congress. They prepared for their biggest battle in a dozen years.
A committee of the U. S. Brewers association met and decided to ask congress for four per cent beer. James L. Vai, president of the California Medical Wines company, issued a statement urging that wine be included in any modification bill.
Outright repealists among Republicans, who number between 100 and 125, were called to a rally Monday morning by Rep. James M. Beck, Republican, Pa., who pledged their support for the Garner plan.

“They (the British government) believe that discussion between the United States government and themselves upon these matters might bear fruitful issue for revival of world prosperity,” the note concludes.
The statement might be con-J strued, it was believed, as indicat-I ing Great Britain was suggesting ’■direct negotiations with the United ! States by herself, an idea said to fit closely with the views of President-elect Roosevelt.
The British message was a re-
