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

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.
