PROHIBITION AND POLITICS
Autocaster Service
THE long-awaited report of the
Wickersham Commission on the
enforcement of the Prohibtiion law
reopens on a national scale the
whole Question of whether or not
Prohibition can be enforced. That
means that the "Wet vs. Dry" Issue
will be one of the biggest, if not the
dominant issue of the Presidential
campaign of 1932.
The Wickersham report itself is
definite in its main conclusions and
recommendations. It is opposed to
repeal of the 18th Amendment It
is opposed to the restoration in any
manner of legalized saloons. It is
opposed to the Federal or State gov
ernments going into the liquor bus
iness. It is opposed to any change
in the law to permit the manufac
ture and sale of light wines and
beer. It believes that the coopera
tion of the states and the support
of public opinion is necessary for
complete enforcement of the Pro
hibition law, but believes that there
has been an improvement in en
forcement since the forces for that
purpose were reorganized, although
enforcement and obedience to the
law are still inadequate, as are the
agencies of enforcement
The commission recommends that
more money should be appropriated
for enforcement, and the organiza
tion and personnel improved and
backed up by more efficient laws
for the prosecution of violations
and the conduct of investigations. In
addition, the commission recom
mends that "IF the 18th amend
ment is revised" it should give Con
gress the sole power to regulate the
liquor traffic, and not leave any
thing to the states.
With this last conclusion Presi
dent Hoover, in his message trans
mitting the report to Congress, dis
agrees. He thinks that the burden
of enforcement should not rest en
tirely upon the Fedtral Govern
ment He has previously expressed
himself as feeling that the states
have not done their full duty. But
with the main conclusions of the
commission he agrees.
All of the members of the com
mission agree on the general state
ments of fact in regard to Prohibi
tion enforcement, but some of them
disagree with the conclusions, al
though all signed the report. In
separate memoranda different com
missioners expressed themselves in
favor of total repeal of the 18th
amendment, of the Government go
ing into the liquor business or au
thorizing the states to do so, of
changing the Volstead law without
repealing the Constitutional pro
vision for Prohibition, and of oth
er palliative measures.
Already the forces on both sides
of the question are lining up for a
great political fight next year. At
present the Democratic party lead
ership, in the North, at least, is wet
and getting wetter, while the Re
publican leadership is mainly dry
and getting dryer. But Prohibition
cuts across party lines, and one re
sult of the present situation is like
ly to be some strange new poltiical
line-ups.
TIME FOB ALL TO HELP.
Autocaster Service
THE Red Cross is making good
progress in its campaign to
raise ten million dollars throughout
the nation, to render aid to the hun
dreds of thousands of people in the
lower Ohio and Mississippi Valleys
who have been made destitute by
the combination of drought and
hard times.
This appeal for funds Is one that
nobody with as much as a dime to
spart can ignore. These are our
own people who are actually suffer
ing and in want More than half a
million of them are already being
fed and cared for by the Red Cross,
which never waits until it has the
money but goes ahead and pledges
its credit and that of its officials to
get aid to the needy without delay.
"He gives twice who gives quickly"
is one of the Red Cross mottoes.
It is to be hoped that there will
not be another cold wave in the
stricken regions. Observers who
have reported on conditions there
Bay that a heavy drop in tempera
ture would certainly mean great loss
of life. It may well be that the es
timate of ten million dollars will not
be enough, although the Red Cross
has many times proved Its ability to
make a dollar go farther in helping
the helpless than most people can
make five dollars go. Nobody need
be afraid that his contribution will
be wasted if given to the Red Cross,
whose workers are trained but un
salaried, giving themselves as well
as their money. And do not let the
feeling that there will be money
enough deter you from giving.

four years of age. The only child
of his parents, hence a very anxious
mother, who co-operated with me at
every step. I encountered a moder

vigorous and rapid pulse and
breathing, a slight sore throat;
lungs not involved. Any old mo

castor oil, and wrapped the little pa

have been all right tomorrow.
