Wednesday, January 21, 1931 The Prohibition Report TT will b interesting to note the reaction which will come during the next few days and weeks from the report submitted by the Wickersham commission, au thorized by President Hoover to make an investigation of the enforcement of prohibition laws. Keaction has already set in. It began the minute the report and the recommendations accompanying it were 1 made public But neither constructive praise or criticism .will be forthcoming for a few hours at least ' The cora- ' mission charged with the responsibility of making the investigation and report is composed of some of the most able citizens of the nation who spent eighteen months in , a searching investigation of the problem. How, then can the average individual digest the voluminous report and its many recommendations and offer constructive ; criticism or give their hearty approbation within the short period of a few hours? There are a few points on which the commission as a Iwhole is agreed, but aside from these there is a wide difference of opinion among its members. There is not only the majority report of the entire commission, but a separate report of part of the members, as well as ; recommendations by individual members, so that to ar rive at a thorough understanding and appraisal of it all requires both time and study. j- The report as a whole is satisfactory to those who favor the retention of national prohibition. It advises against repeal of the eighteenth amendment. It recom mends that the government not engage in the sale of iliquor through government liquor stores or otherwise. ;Those who like their liquor and who had pointed to the j.Canadian method of handling it as a model plan, will be (disappointed in the latter recommendation, fr The commission opposes an amendment to the pres ent law so as to permit the manufacture of light wines and beer. Here again, the wets who have been pleading for modification which would legalize the manufacture and sale of wines and beer with a-low alcoholic content are confronted with disappointment And, as was expected, the commission is unanimous Jn its opposition to the restoration of the legalized saloon. All the foregoing recommendation afford satisfac tion to those who are prohibitionists at heart, but hold pot the least morsel of consolation to the wets. ' Recommendation that present laws be amended to facilitate the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment 'and that congress increase appropriations which will tpermit doubling the present force charged with tha re sponsibility of maintaining a dry nation, and otherwise providing for stricter enforcement will also add to the Igood cheer of the prohibitionsts. President Hoover said in his message transmitting the report to congress: "it is a temperate and judicial presentation." t As he uses the word temperate the reader may place Iris own interpretation upon the meaning designed, but that which the president doubtless had in mind was that the report la temperate in its findings and recommendations that it is from from radical conclusions and recommendations. Yiewing the report from the standpoint of those who desire that the manufacture and sale of liquor be legalised, there 1 nope for eventual modification in the outstanding fact that six of the eleven member of the commission favor modification of the eighteenth amendment. Not only does a majority favor modifica tion hut a complete plan Is proposed, which would give congress the authority to regulate or prohibit the manufacture, traffic in and sale of intoxicating liquors within the United States and all ter ritory subject to tho jurisdiction thereof. It would grant congress the authority to create a bi-partisan commission of liquor control which under the laws of congress, might control the manufacture of and traffic In intoxicating liquors for beverage purpoees i and alco holic llquora for other purposes. The commission would be author ised to create a national corporation for the purpose of the plan, all of the stock of which should be privately owned, or in Its dis cretion a nnmber of such corporations, such as one for each Judicial district. ri.1. MMnrflllnii SLnil Id be charred with tho responsibility of fixing the alcoholic contents of all kinds of liquors, to place the name in bonded warenouses. ann ouimiruoi shipment in ajiv etate to a corporate agency created by such state, similar in character to the national corporation." if the state at its option elected not to adopt the system It could establish or continue prohibition. In which event It would have to enforce Its own laws within the state, but the federal law would not permit sales or sntpmeuu imo inai in vj tlonnl corporation." The proposed amendment also provide that all funds beyond that required to operate tho national and state corporations be turned over to the federal and state treasuries. Incidentally, the report of the six commissioners accompanying the proposed amend ment sets out the fact that the profit accruing from tho operation of the federal and state corporations charged with the responsi bility of handling liquors would accrue to tho treasuries rather than to the leader of hooio racketeers and gangsters. Two commissioner would repeal the prohibition amendment. Others, while not favoring a change so drastic, make personal recommendations, which, if adopted, would greatly relieve the arid condition, with which antl-prohlbitlonlsta are at present con fronted. The report of the commission as a whole set out the fat that enforcement of prohibition to date has rot been effective, but say that Improvement ha been nude during the past few years. It recommends more leniency in permitting registered physi cian to prescribe liquor for medicinal purpose and would remove ome of present restriction which make it difficult for church denominations to secure wines for sacramental purposes. The re port also contains a recommendation for the removal of the anom alous provision of tho prohibition law as to cider and frnlt Juices by making a uniform provision for a fixed alcoholic content. Outstanding in the report is the fact that the mem bers of the commission are hopelessly divided. Encour agement is held out In portions of it to the drys, while other sections will receive the approval of the wets. In all probability partial enforcement of the law will pre rail for some time in the future much as it has in the ft A A I 6 A I IV M WASHINGTON eMw ifttfr Paddles, Slippers, Et Al Froridenc Journal: "fn hi re cent speech on tho need of Am erica' children," eav the Dei Molne Register.

BY RODXEY Dl'TOHER XK.i (service Writer WASHINGTON Recent guer illa outbreaks In Nicaragua, In which eight American marines hav been killed and aeveral wounded, do not presage civil strife In that republic or even any general disturbance, accord ing to Dr. Juan B. Bacasa. the Nicaraguan minister. Dr. Sacasa apeaks with some authority about Nicaraguan war fare. When be was constitution tlce, though not wholly ao. There are (till many households, we doubt not, where corporal run lshment Is still In vogue. But unless all reports and sign are misleading there is less of it to day than there previously has been at anv time since the New Vlrrlnlans. 'landed at Jamestown and the Pilgrim fathers and mothers at Plymouth. We would not venture to de termine whether the change is salutary. It Is customary to say. of course, that the children of ihn nresant era would be better oft It they ware molded on the line of the one-time discipline represented la this forceful word paddle. Not being esiuer a piv fesslonal statistician or a dis tinguished sociologist, we do not know. But it Is Quite possible that critic of the new genera n nharvln what they think are grieTout fault In latter-day youth, come prematurely w conclusion that a there I less corporal punishment nowaaay this disused discipline " the cause of these faults. The more we thick about it. is. more wa wish there nilgai oe nation-wide symposium on this point. Is there a greaiw un created nse of paddle, rasor strops, blreh switches, shingles, slipper end the like; and if so what is the result? If we got any information ourselves as to the matter we propose to pas it nrnmnllT along tO the De Moines Register, which ha set this agitating current of thought flowing In our mind. Our Growing Churches H. Paul Douglass, director.

Ray Guard Are Capable There are still about a thou sand marines in Nicaragua, hut the government with its 1S00 marine-trained members ot the Guardla National la able to take care of any organiied banditry. In Dr. bacasa' opinion. Although banditry has naturally been stimulated as Nicaragua suffered with other countries in the world-wide depression, the min ister's government is exercising what it consider adequate avtt vity to cope with the present threat. The guerillas, Paeasa explains, can cross and recross the Nlcara-guan-Honduran border at will But they did not hold a single content who thought he might be able to sen It, IlulM New Roads "The new road from Maungua to the Allanllii coast lias liu beiiiiu and Ucueral Moncada hone to finish It durlug III ad ministration.

Several factors contribute to saving Nicaragua from the poli tical upheavals experienced by other Latin American republics. Dr. Sacasa says.

Of its lapse or ultimate disappearance one finds no evidence.

Not fewer than eighteen denominations actually completed sucn mergers on: 19U and 126.

The last two decades, likewise. have seen the growth of an ex traordinary, extensive and varied system of interchurch co-orera-tlon. Perhaps the best known Is the Federal Council of the Chur ches ot Christ. The rapidly In creasing independent and federat ed church represent the revolt of local communities against the evils ot the denominational system and a growing capacity to forget sectarian difference-. Women's Changing Voices The Pathfinder: Within the last 20 years there has oeen a surprising change In women's voices. The average lemaie im ha become several degree deeper than It wa earlier In the centurv or In the last century for that matter. Doctors attest to this. At first glance some nnklnd person might say that cigarette smoking is responsible. Another unthinking Individual may say It's women's advent In politics. But the real truth of the matter, as the medical profession see It, Is that the doing away with cor sets has freed the abdominal muscles to permit women to talk as deeply as they are now able to breathe. When they were all "laced in" tbey had to use mouth tones.
