Prohibition Still Is Favored by Nation, Willebrandt View Tn this article Mrs. Willebrandt states the future of prohibition as she sees It. She points out the influences which have been injected into the l.quor one- - bv makinr the issue national instead of local, analytes th* attitude of the wet-drinkint, drx-votln* lawmakers, woman's att.tude. and the recent *ams madr by the wets. BY MABEL WALKER WILLEBRANDT. (Copyright. 1929. by Current News Features. Inc.

Even if improvement can be made in the method of enforcement, isn’t it clear that here Is too large a body of sentiment against the law that will keep it from being effectively enforced? “But should we continue to throw temptation in the way of public officials, from constables and justices to district attorneys and federal judges, by placing In their hands the enforcement of a law which offers such fat opportunities to violators that they are able to corrupt the whole public service by bribery?” Many persons who ask such questions are not opposed to prohibition in principle. They would be perfectly willing to continue to sacrifice their own “personal liberty” if to do so would protect, any considerable number of their fellow-citizens from the evil effects of overindulgence in alcoholic liquor. Such questions are largely the fruit of seeds broadcast throughout in the past half a dozen years by organizations opposed, conscientiously and otherwise, to the eighteenth amendment.

I have no grievance against the men who form such organizations. They have the right not only to their opinion, but to broadcast it and to influence others to accept it. Years and years of public agitation by temperance advocates were necessary to build up public sentiment to the point of acceptance of national prohibition. The eighteenth amendment was no “hastily inflicted calamity,” as many anti-prohibitionists denominate it. It simply was the culmination of scores of years of educational and political work by temperance societies, church organizations and millions of individuals who had learned by personal observation or costly experience that the liquor traffic under any system of regulation created exactly the same conditions about which antiprohibitionists are now complaining: Graft, corruption, public disorder and maladministration of justice. The eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act amalgamated,

merged, consolidated and centralized all town, county and state issues into one grand national movement. The prevention of the manufacture and sale of liquor anywhere in the United States at any time. I do not think that editors of the metropolitan press yet realize that prior to adoption to the eighteenth amendment out of 2,540 counties of the United States, all but 305 had declared themselves “dry.” I do not think yet they realize the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution w T as ratified by more states than any other amendment that has ever been adopted—-forty-six of the forty-eight states. I do not think most of thqse who declare, by word of mouth and in editorial utterances, that “prohibition can't be enforced” realize that repeal of the eighteenth amendment is almost an impossibility. A bare majority of one or the other branch of the legislature in thirteen states could block the ratification of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The leaders of the

various anti-prohibition organizations realize the force of these things, of course. But they realize also that even though the eighteenth amendment probably is imbedded permanently in our federal Constitution, it can be ignored and j repealed by lack of enforcement if ! the "right people” can be put in I the right places. The principal one of those places is the White House. What these anti-prohibition leaders do not realize fully is the fact , the majority of the people of the ! country still are against legalizing | the liquor traffic. I often am asked, “Don’t you | really think that prohibition is on ! its last legs, that the ‘wets' are gaining, and that most people are beI ginning to see prohibition! can not ! be enforced?” It would be folly to deny that | the “wets” have made considerable I gain in the past few years. In the ! first place, they have w-on some m.U- ---! lions ofpeople to the views that | prohibition can't be enforced. If i they can continue winning additional numbers to that view, then eventually they will be able to put into office men who will let the law enforce itself—if it can. In a practical way. they have made a great gain in securing the repeal of state enforcement laws in New- York, Montana. Nevada and Wisconsin, throwing the entire burden of enforcement upon the federal government. The defeat of Governor Smith in the last presidential election did nothing to allay the sentiment against prohibition. Instead, it produced what might be called an “emotional hangover.” The defeat of their candidate rankled those who sincerely believed that Governor Smith, as President, could and 'Would produce a better method of dealing with the liquor problem In another w r ay, however, the candidacy of Governor Smith was beneficial to prohibition. He entered attention upon the subject. Before he became a candidate, the prohibition and temperance organizations had been disintegrating. They had more or less been accepting prohibition as an accom- ; plished fact, and had been in a dis- j organized or inactive condition, to ; some extent. The assault upon prohibition by 1

Governor Smith revivified the forces that had brought the eighteenth amendment into being. In addition it brought into open and active advocacy of prohibition an important group of economic leaders, such as Henry Ford, Filene of Boston, I Edison, and Durant. The predominating dry sentiment among the women of the country is not noticeable, of course, among those who congregate in country clubs and who have plenty of leissure and very little work. I am well aware, also, that more of the girls and women who are employed in offices and industry are drinking now than was the case ten years ago. Nevertheless, anyone who mingles freely with all classes of women is bound to discover very soon that the majority are opposed utterly to re-establishment of open saloons, and they think any relaxation of enforcement is a step in that direction. The great majority .of women still lean economically upon men. their fathers or their husbands. Even if they have property, they let their men folks handle it. Within the last few' years prohibition has lost a large number of supporters who have been converted to the belief that enforcement is impossible. But, in my judgment, and the judgment of the great majority of our ninety-six United States senators and 435 representatives, the will of the people is still for prohibition enforcement. The outlook, I believe, is not repeal of the amendment or modification of the law, but improvement in enforcement methods and results. (In her next article, Mrs. Willebrandt, admitting that prohibition is not enforced effectively, discusses whether it can be, and offers some specific recommendations concerning enforcement.)

Alger is alleged to have been driven to the bank by his red-haired wife, who waited in the car while Alger is alleged to have forced the bank clerk to place $750 in a pillow slip. The search for the couple has led police into Kentucky. Ohio and Michigan, with reports that Alger and his wife are headed for Canada. Alger was paroled from the reformatory, May 10, where he was serving a two-to-twenty-one-year sentence for the fatal shooting of John Buchanan, Indianapolis Negro policeman.
