Predict Japan To Quit League
Decision Final if Report Of Committee of 19 Is Adopted
TOKIO, Monday, Feb. 20.—(HE) —The Japanese cabinet today decided to withdraw from the League of Nations if the league assembly adopts the committee of 19 report on Manchuria.
The decision was considered tantamount to withdrawal. It was believed here the league assembly would adopt the report, which criticizes Japanese military activity in Manchuria and refused to recognize Manchoukuo as an “independent state.”
The cabinet also approved a counter declaration rejecting the report of the league committee’s recommendations. This is to be cabled to Matsuoka.
It was understood the government's decision to withdraw would be submitted to the privy council at a meeting shortly, advising that the emperor approve it There was no indication when formal announcement of withdrawal would be made, but it was assumed it would be shortly after Thursday’s meeting of the league assembly. There was a possibility it would not be until Matsuoka returns here. Resignations from the league become effective two years after notice is given.
It was learned that the cabinet (Continued on page four)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 —(T.E)— The House of Representatives tomorrow will perform the last legislative act necessary to submit j 18th amendment repeal back to j the states for a battle over rati-; fication.
House approval of the repeal amendment already passed by the senate was predicted tonight by Democratic leader Henry T. Rainey. He said a final check today showed “at least” 20 votes more than the necessary two-thirds will be counted tomorrow | for resubmission.
It wall then devolve upon Secretary of State Henry Lw Stimson to certify the congressional action formally to state governors.
Fight To Begin
The fight will begin immediately in 41 state legislatures, now in session, over the preparatory issue of setting up state conventions. Bills for this hitherto untried convention ratification machinery now* are pending in half a dozen states.
“Wets’' will center their drive upon the eastern tier of* states long antagonistic to the prohibition law, pressing for a series of quick strokes that will give them the psychological advantage. Drys have selected a group of 16 western and southern states as territory they will seek to hold. They need only 13 to prevent ratification. Seven years is the limit of the test.
Dry States
Drys count their chances best in Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia. Utah, Nebraska, Kentucky, Tennessee, North and South Dakota, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, according to opinion canvassed by the United Press.
Dry strategy will be mapped out here March 9 at a meeting of the executive committee of the national conference of organizations supporting the 18th amendment. These “dry stronghold” states contain 30,000,000 people, or about one-fourth of the country’s population.
“Wets” will turn their guns upon Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Ohio for immediate results.
No Quick Change
Despite the apparent uriaing a-gainst the 18th amendment, which has surprised even anti-prohibitionists, best informed opinion is there will be no over-night elimination of the national dry law.
Prohibitionists have an effective weapon in complications surrounding the convention method of ratification.

Cordell Hull Selected for Secretary of State Post
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—(UE)— Friends of Senator Cordell Hull of Tennessee were informed today that he definitely has been selected for secretary of state and is making preparation to leave Capitol hill.
At the same time it was said that with the refusal of Senator Carter Glass of Virginia to become secretary of the treasury, William H. Woodin, president of the American Car and Foundry company, and intimate friend of the president-elect, was being considered for the post
Earlier plans for shifting Senator Hull to his place have been abandoned. Senator Bronson Cutting, Repn., N. M., has indicated he would not accept the interior department post. This appeared to leave only two survivors of the original senatorial quartet the president-elect hoped to have in his cabinet. Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana as attorney general, probably will be the ether
senator in the Roosevelt cabinet in addition to Hull.
It was also learned today that Senator Hull is expected to make important use of Norman Davis, former under secretary of state, in Europe. He is expected to recommend Davis’ appointment to one of the principle ambassadorships in order that he may be constantly on the ground to give Washington the benefit of his long experience and intimate knowledge dealing with disarmament, debts and the general economic conference.
A considerable change i3 expected to result when Senator Hull takes charge of the state department. The change will be not only one of policy and of interest since Hull is primarily concerned with tariff and economic problems, rather than world politics, but the social aspects of this number one cabinet post will alter.

The committee claimed the Democratic caucus was contrary to the provision of the constitution which provides the members of congress shall not vote for a change ln the constitution unless they as individuals deem it necessary.
The action of Snell was held by the committee to be a compromise with Democrats in violation of the Republican national platform which provides there must be some federal guarantee against return of the saloon.
