WASHINGTON, Rept. 19. (A. I.)
The fact that a large part of the
public remains "unconvinced with ref
erence to the Uqunr truffle" coupled
with failure of the federal KovernrnoiH
to make any "adequate effort" nt en
forcing und u delinquency of the
churchep In continuing temperance
education, were held responsible for
ihe present prohibition situation in
findings made public tonight by the
Research and Education department
of the Federal Council of Churches.
These conclusions were announced
hy the department In making public
the last installment of its special re
port on the social consequences of
prohibition, compiled nfte ran ex
haustlve Investigation. Other por
tions of the report have been mode
public previously during the past
week.
In view of the government's recent
enforcement reorganization, the pres.
ent situation was declared to present
"an unprecedented challenge" to the
churches and schools. The "delin
quency" of the former In carrylna
on the temperance work begun long
before prohibition was described as
"perhaps even greater than that of
the federal government."
"A new opportunity Is at hand','
concludes the report. "The crisis
that has developed in the enforce
ment of prohibition calls for a frank
facing of fncts and a new assumption
of responsibility."
"The federal government hns an
nounced a right-about-face on en
forcement policy. That Is the gov
f ernment's task. It Is not Its tnsk to
chango the minds of the people. He
llgion and education must do that.
Nothing but energetic and sustained
educational effort can atone fop past
negligence."
With regard to the attitude of the
public, the report presented the re
sults of a number of polls among ve
rious elements of Americans, but
commented that figures could form
little basis for definite conclusions.
"It may be said twlth a good deal of
assurance," the investigators contin
ued, "that many populous sections of
the country would now reverse the
verdict If they had the chance, but
there Is much reason to believe that
moBt of the states, taken as a whole
would still vote affirmatively. The
attlttude of the smaler communities
and the rural sections Is difficult to
discover The most recent evidence of
the trend of popular opinion was the
approval by referendum in, Massa

If the presidential board should de

however, he believes that an oppor

Ernest Hinds, commander of the

formal answer mnde, by Colonel
Mitchell, accepting responsibility for

the war department today and was
started on Its way through the routine

today based the application for a 6 per

the unremunerntlve returns and low

western carriers.
He summarized the situation for the
yeurs 1 a.';t to 1H1M, lucluslve, as ap
plied to the Chicago & Northwestern,
which ho culled a typical system with

Thus far, It was said today nt the

holds that If congress, at Its last ses

administration for relief of settlers
there would now he no ground for
complaint.
The government's reclamation pro

President Coolldge's view, nnd while
there Is no desire on the part of the
administration to change thin policy

the government's contention that re
