Nd STATES REALLY
DRY, SAYS LAWYER
National Prohibition a Danger
Gus Experiment, MissOurian
Tells ClubWOmen

The following is taken from the
Cleveland tO.) Leader:
The demand for national prohibition
in the United States springs from the
utter failure of statewide prohibition,
declared Paul S. Conwell, an attorney
of Kansas City, Mo, in an address be-
fore the Women's City Club, OF Cleve-
land, at the Hotel Statler. Mr.. Con.
well spoke on THE Economic Aspect
Of Prohibition"
Legally speaking" he said, there
is much dry territory in the United
States; strictly speaking, there Is not
an inch OF II, except in some OF the
churches where grape Juice is used In
communion service. in few homes
and In the penitentiaries and eleemosy-
nary institutions" =
Mr.. Conwell asserted that the aver
age person believes that national pro.
hibition means national abstinence,
The Hobson bill, II adopted, however,
he added. would merely rob the govern
ment of 1926. 200. 900 received annually
In taxes and permit indiscriminate
manufacture and sale OF liquor for any
other purpose save for beverages.
National prohibition Is n dangerous
experiment" remarked Conwell. "NC
effort has ever been made TO stop the
use or consumption OF liquor. That
must be accomplished by the conquest
OF the individual"

ports control OF food is to extend to
drink, and il is said that he has in
view the suspension of the sale OF all
spirituous liquids, for drinking pur'
poses, until the end of the war. The
British Isles are TO become as dry as
any prohibition town in New England
until the restoration of peace. Not be-
cause Lord DeyonDort considers that
there is too much drinking or because
