Beer of Four Per Cent
Will Not Wean Drinker
From Bootleg Product
Army Officer Asserts Experience Shows
Better Than "Belly Wash"
' . Soldiers Like Soft Drink
OMAHA, Mot. 30 (F) Writing under his own signature in the World
Herald. Major-Oeneral Johnson Hagood, seventh corps area commandant
and bead of the fourth army, today predicted that four per cent beer,
It legalized, would not have sufficient "kick" to compete "with bootleg
liquor or with soft drtnka now on the market."
General Hagood, who asserted he had . -
never tasted liquor, baaed hla pre
diction on "long experience In the
army. He recounted unsuccessful
attempts before passage of prohibi
tion Laws to wean soldiers to three
per oent beer. They preferred soft
drinks, he said.
Must Sell Heal Beer,
"If the United States la going to
sell s revenue-producing beer, It has
to sell beer real beer, not make
believe beer; beer that will compete
with the market," General Hagood
wrote
"If It Is going to sell wine, It has
got to sell real wine standard
brands vintage. You cannot put
over soma concoction made up by
children out of pokeberry juice.
"The American congress (on the
brink of another noble experiment)
has great power, but It cannot mix
a drink; that Is. not by legislation.
No "Belly 'Wash."
"Young America may accept cham
pagne as a substitute tor gin. It may
aooept California wlnea and beer, ut
It Is not going to accept soda pop,
especially of a type known to sol
diers as 'belly wash
"No kick, no sale. A man doea
not take a drink for the taste of it.
He takes It for the effect. You can
rt synthetic tastes brandy, sherry,
anything you want -from the near
est grocery, but you don't do it,
General Hagood described the 18th
amendment as "the worst thing that
aver happened to America--worse than
the war, worse than depression be
cause It has undermined the char
acter of our people. It has convert
ed us into a nation of hypocrites
and threatened our form of govern
ment. It has placed a question mark
after "honor among men and virtue
among women."
Boost Brewery Stock.
Discussing the effect of a three
per cent beer bill, he said It would
result In the American public gob
bling up a vast quantity of worthless
brewing stock, a temporary sale of
"this Imitation fake beer," a fur
ther "flood" of bootleg beer that
would render enforcement Impossible,
and a failure In revenue raising at
tempts through the sale of liquors.
Hazarding a "guess," General Ha
good expressed belief the . following
groups wen behind a three per cent
beer movement:
"Wets, who think that It will be an
opening wedge for repeal of the loth
amendment.
"Drys, who know it Is harmless and
think it may stall off repeal.
"Bootleggers, who think It will
stimulate their business.
"Taxpayers, who think they see
the) light.
"And finally, an overwhelming ma
jority of congress, who know noth
ing about It, have never tasted it,
never expect to taste It and are leg
islating to meet the demands of an
uninformed publlo opinion."

Commenting on an editorial nub
llshed yesterday in the Portland Ore-
gonlan, local workers In the seal
aale drive here pointed out that the
Jackson County Public Health as
s Delation's record compares very fa
vorably with that of Portland, since
nearly 300 crippled children have
been helped In free clinics during
the psst few months.

This Isn't to tell you that you

eternal, benevolent, warm spirit of
Christmas Itself Is In them. They
typify all that Is best In mankind,
making war against a dlsesse that
Is destructive of happiness, and
homes, and life. They are the
"ounce of prevention" that holds the
dragon at bay, and which one day,
please God, shall send him back to
his nameless cold oave forever."
