crat, Texas, had vigorously at
tacked forceo which they contend
ed were trying to break down con
stitutional law In this country.
Expcr.'iuoiit Ho.d Insane
Both Senators Edge and Bruce
declared the Volstead act was a
failure and that Itn operation had
been attended by general disre
spect for law. At one point the
Maryland senator asserted "pro
hibition is an insane experiment."
Senators Willis and Sheppard
d'sputed these contentions, tho
former contending that Senator
Edge's speech was only a group
of views of those opposing the pro
hibition act. The Texas Benator
served notice that prohibitionists
of the country will not permit any
mod.ftcatlon of the Volstead act
but would demand that it be
strengthened.
The Ohio senator, vho was first
tiTTepTy to- Senator' Edge, dertlecH
that there was a universal demand
for modification of the Volstead
act. He declared that the plain
fact was. that "the underworld is
boldly challenging the forces of
law and order in this country."
A declaration by Senator Willis
that prohibition had resulted In a j
decrease of drunkenness, brought;
Sena; of Bruce to his feet with sta
tic tics from notice chiefs in all im
portant cities snowing that tne ar
rests, for drunftness have been in
creasing steadily since 1920, the
first year after ratification or tne
18th amendment.
RootleggliiR Pointed Out
In opening a discussion of a
subject, which promised to occupy
considerable attention in congress
at this session, Senator Edge plc-
tured what he characterized as the
deplorable conditions of bootleg
ging and corruption under the
Volstead act and declared that
congress must amend the law it
these conditions are to be im
proved. He asserted that a large propor
tion of the people "violate the
law without the slightest com
punction." The New Jersey senator said
frankly that he did not know
whether his proposals would rem
edy the situation, but that at least
congress should undertake the ex
periment and write the 18th
amendment into the enforcement
act. In this connection, he argued,
that In approving the amendment
the country had not Intended that
congress should prohibit a bever
age of low alcoholic content.
Replying with characteristic
vigor. Senator Willis declared that
If tho 2.75 per cent beer bill was
enacted into law, it would mean
nullification of tho 18th amend
ment. He urged that if such beer
wore produced, there would have
to be a place for Us sale and-that
place would bo "the old-fashioned
saloon."
