What the Prohibition
Code Does Prohibit

There is so much misiDfoTmation
about the provisions of the Federal
Prohibition Code, that it viii be Of
value to know just what the Code
does not prohibit, said Wayne p.
Wheeler, General Counsel 0I the sAtl-
ti-Saloon League of America. It
does not prevent the possession Of
Intoxicating liquor in a private
dwelling if the liquor was secured be
fore the law goes into effect. 1t does
not permit search warrant to be
issued for such liquor in private
dwelling. 1t does not prevent the
sale of alcoholic liquors for non-bev-
erage purposes such as medicinal,
mechanical, art, scientific, industrial
or any other such purpose. 1t does
not prohibit the manufacture and
sale of soft drinks containing not
more than one-half of one per cent
alcohol by volume. 1t will not in
terfere with the sale of alcoholic ex-
tracts, under the proposed Amend
ment from the judiciary Committee,
unless they are sold for beverage
purposes. It provides complete ma
chinery for the development OF the
industrial alcohol industry. It does
prohibit the manufacture, sale, trans
portation, expectation, furnishing, re-
ceiying Or possession of Intoxicating
liquors except as authorized in this
act. 1t does specifically authorize
in Section 35, Of the act, that liq-
uors secured before the law goes into
effect may be possessed in a private
dwlling. This provision is more lib
eraI than those found in the laws OF
the Prohibition States. The liquor
cannot be seizel even though the
home is turned into a speak-easy.
Liquor in a home which is a speak
easy should be subject to seizure. In
this respect it should be and doubt
less will be changed.
Every section of the proposed bill
except the one last referred to, has
been tried out in tn States and
found to be necessary If tie law is
to be enforced. The effort to make
it appear that the law is drastic is a
part of the Brewery propaganda. The
friends of Prohibition will not ask
for unreasonable or unpercedent
provisions.
