There was no statement from the -Vhite House as to the resu!:s of the neeting, but it was indicated the disussion revolved almost en.irely upon he question of how the several states ould best cooperate with the federal' ;overnment in" executing the terms of he prohibition amendment. It was ndieatv.d another meeting of state xeeutives might be called early m he comh'.g year, at which time the abject would be canvassed more horoughly. At the While House luncheon, durn.g the course of which the views of lie guests were Sought on prohibition rei'e, in addition to the president: 'ice President Coolidge, Attorney knerJ Daugherty, Secretary Mel>n, Prohibition Commissioner aynes, Governors Cox of Massrchuetls.

McKclvie f,Nebraska, Davis of Idaho and anmb' 1 of Arizona. ''In -pinny cases," Commissioner [aynes declared after the meeting, the reports of the governors were f an encouraging nature. Xumerus instances of lack cf cooperation I 'ere pointed out; many instances of ic inadequacy of federal forces were jggested.

Other suggestions, al! o: which were de-; clared later to have been "entirely _ informal," included a more careful selection of prohibition personnel; larger appropriations for the federal bureau, and education,of tha general publ z to the necessity of law reverence. i Governor Allen of Kansas sard tonight the conference had indicated clearly that all the governors present: whose states have enforcement laws were in entire sympathy with rigid j enforcement. Governor Cox of Mas-' sachusctts?one of the two states out- j side this classification?was quoted ;.s of .the opinion that "more money and more honorable men" were nec-. essary. Since the 'law was on the 'statute books, Mr. Cox held, it must. be enforced. The majority of the people of Maryland?the other state without spe-;' ' cin.1 enforcement laws?believe that j the Volstead :-ct is impossible of en- j forccnient in the state, according to 5 .Governor Ritchie. I: ' On" people ir. the main regard it'i' j as an urnecessai.. and drastic feder-1 al infringement of the state and per- j' ! sona' rights,'' iie declared, in a state- :J ' ntent issued, after the conferencei . and which was ucser7?cd a? setting ! forth the views he had expressed to ." President Harding. ''The lack of respect for law and : !actual lawlessness, when nave re- ' suited, i-7 deplorable.

The bill, which carries a total of $325,000,000, stood up precisely as; fr.imed by Chairman Kelly's subcommit:ce, which provides for an .enlisted naval force of 80.000. the same as; fixed last yearThere was a flurry of talk over the | provision under which the president! is asked to negotiate with Great Bri- i tain, Japan, France and Italy, but in j the end an eiTort to change the lan- j gjage was dropped, in the face of! overwhelming opposition to any alteration whatever. An amendment to strike out the section, offered by Representative Logan (Democrat) of South Carolina j was defeated and ifnaily Representative Linebenxer (Republican) of California withdrew his amendment "suggesting to the president the desirability of entering into further negotiations with other powers as soon :;s he may deem practicable. Ch.tirman Butler of the naval committee and Representative Byrnes of Sou:.: Carolina, ranking democrat 01 j :he Kelly subcommittee, attacked the Lincberger oroposal. Mr. Byrnes declared there was nothing sought un:ler the amendment "except to piacite the gentleman from California." "Let it remain the Kelly amend nent." Mr. Butler shouted, and ii- j .lid. ! There was laughter from the Re- j fjubiican side when Representative ' Llnthicum (Democrat) of Maryland ; presented an amendment requesting ; he president also to negotiate with foreign nations with a view to form- , ng :::: association of notions.

"We must c.o away with arms if the ' world is :o live," Mr. Cockran ex- ' claimed. An amendment by Representative Oliver of Alabama, Democratic member of the subcommittee, providing that the navy's balance from certain sources be held as a fund for new construction, was defeated, over his olea tha: it would encourage economy.
