21 Of the Wickershnm report,
you might say thnt the com
mission fiimp out of a solemn
.conference and straddled the
fence. You pet the impression
that gentlemen chosen for po
litical purposes don't quite
dare say what they think.
They affirm that prohibition
doesn't work, and there isn't
adequate observance or en
forcement. They sup-jest spend
in.!; more money on prohibition,
and confirm what has often
been said here, that those now
young will be old before pro
hibition comes out of the con
slitution, since nothing less
than a revolution could take it
out.
Further no legal sanction of
light wines and beer, is recom
mended. The best that wets can hope
for is increasing bootleg pro
duction, the law falling into
deeper contempt.
Philadelphia's liberty hell,
silent for one hundred years,
will issue thirteen cracked
sounds, one in honor of ca?h
original state, on Washington's
birthday. If Washington at the
sound could rise, like Xapol
fon's old soldier when he heard
(he cannon growl, he would be
interested in the ..-IS I'nited
States of 1931.
At the Advertising Club of
Eos Angeles luncheon today
several railroad presidents in
eluding General Atterbury of
the Pennsylvania and Paul
Shoup of the Southern Pacific,
talked about railroads and what
they and the public need.
.1. I.. Hough, vice president
of the I'nion Pacific, reminded
the large gathering that this
nation is the largest area in the
world enjoying free trade.
California ships her products
from 1,8(10 to 3,.")00 miles in dif
ferent directions, no tariff
anywhere.
If the Russian experiment
'oes through to success, per
haps with some "capitalistic,
and military leader" taking the
job away from the bolshevists,
as Napoleon took it from the
French revolution, Uussia and
Siberia combined, might have
a free trade area bigger than
the I'niled States.

DRY REPORT
Growing Tumult of Discus
sion and Dispute in Capi
tal Commission Issues
Flat Denial Findings In
fluenced By Hoover.
W ASH I X G TO X, Jan. 21 . U)
The crowing tumult of dii-cusslon,
dispute and speculation over the
WickerHhani prohibition r e p o r t
contorod today around two .sali
ent niK1':
How far did the commission
mean to go toward recommendim;
revision of tho eighteenth amend
ment? And what will bo the po
litical effect of President Hoover's
opposition to mieh a step?
Ho aroused were the conimislon
members over report that the
president had intervened to fore
stall an unequivocal mod i lira I ion
proposal thai the following state
ment vii.i issued by I 'hair man
Wfekersham:
"The statement this morning in
the Washington Herald that the
president persuaded this commis
sion to abandon a tentative recom
mendation in favor of revision of
the eighteenth amendment is abso
lutely untrue and with foundation."
(It was a I'nited Press story.)
Full Story I ntohl.
Neither tho chairman nor any
member of the commission now in
Washington, however, was willing
to tell the full story of the weeks
of discussion within the commis
sion, or explain how or when the
decision against an out and out
revision proposal was reached.
As It nppears in the combined
commission report, signed by all
of the members hut one. the sug
gested draft of a new eighteenth
amendment was preceded by an
"if," and by a statement that opin
ion among members was divided.
Vet at least six of the eleven de
clared in appended rttatementR that
they favored either revision or re
peal, and at leaw two of these in
dividual expressions alluded to re
vision as If they- understood the
full commission was for it.
Col. Henry W-. Anderson, the
monihor who proposed n complete
liuhstitute for the present system,
said in Richmond the report as a
whole "favors mollification of the
eighteenth amendment."
Various Interpretations.
Vntll other members speak, the
capital and the country nppnrently
will be left to draw their own con
clusions and place their own Inter-.
pretation on a report which is be
ing variously interpreted today as
dry, wet and a straddle.
Tlurp was less dispute over the
position taken by the president in
sending the report to congress.
With whatever effect on his for
tunes in 1132, he said definitely he
not only agreed the n mend men t
should not be repealed, but did not
want to be understood even as fav
oring a revision of it.
