VETS SUGGEST
VOLSIEAD Fight
Time Wasted, They Warn,
Attacking Eighteenth
Amendment
REPEAL AT PRESENT
is HARDLY POSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Warning
was issued yesterday by wet leaders in
the House Of Representatives that time
and money are being wasted In any
campaign which has for its purpose the
repeal of the Prohibition amendment.
All forces should concentrate on hav-
ing the Volslead Enforcement act re-
pealed or liberallzed, it was insisted
Pointing out that it is virtually an
impossibility to create enough senti-
ment throughout the country to force
tile repeal Of the amendment at an
early date, the vets insist a tactical
blunder is being made by those opposed
to prohibition.
The position taken by the wet leaders
was described Immediately after Rep
resentative Britten, of Illinois, intro
duced a bill which gives the Governor
of any state, or 70 per cent. Of the
people, power to promote a referendum
to determine the desire Of the State for
per cent. beer and IA per cent. wine.
Britten pointed out how foreign en-
bassies could have their liquors and
insisted the entire world is laughing at
the United states.
"The Prohibition Enforcement law
should be held unconstitutional be-
cause it violates the very essence Of
the prohibition amendment, which
specifically requires concurrent legisla-
tlon between the States and the Federal
Government in the control, manufac-
ture, transportation and sale Of intoxi-
eating liquors" he said.
Britlens resolution is tile second or
third offered now which would have
Congress declare for the return OF light
wines and beer, though there is not the
slightest suggestion at this time that
sufficient sentiment has peen aroused
to force these measures through the
House.
In comparison with the remote pos
sibllity that the amendment could be
Evening journal., 1920-03-02

repealed, the VETS in the House Insist
there is very good chance that tha
Volstead act VIII not stand up under
the constant ccriticism to which il is
now being subjected. Just now the
people are beginning 10 get taste OF
the drastic provisions OF this act and
are resenting the effort Of Congress to
surround them with such restrictions,
the wet leaders say, and this resent
ment and anger will grow instead Of
lessen as it becomes known that prac-
tlcally every farmer in the country is
violating the law.
The situation is now sized up by the
wets as follows:
l. There may not be sufficient
strength in the House and Senate TO
repeal the Volstead act, but the
strength is growing and a campaign
would assist It's growth.
2. The word coming into the Houso
from over the country Is that the peo-
pie are opposed TO the Volstead ACT
and not that they are so determined
at this time in their opposition 10 the
Eighteenth Amendment.
3. To emphasize the Opposit'on 10
the amendment might permit the pro-
hibitioniss in the House and Senate
to confuse the situation and permit
members either TO avoid the question
or keep astraddle OF 1t.
a. The repeal Of the Volstead act is
virtually as much as anyone can hope
for at this time or for many years 10
come.
Il was pointed out that TO repeal the
amendment the votes OF two-thirds Of
the membership OF the House and SEN
ate would have TO be aassured At this
time there are not more than 100 men
in the House who might be classed as
vets and this is not nearly as many as
would be needed. After a successful
vote was had in the House II would
require the votes OF &c States TO ratifv
the acton OF the House and Senate and
that this number could be obtained is
beyond even the shadow OF possibility,
IL IS insisted.
On the other hand, the repeal OF the
amendemnt would accomplish only the
return Of the liquors Of high alco-
holc content, the VETS insist. and that
the people are ready for this Is doubt.
ed The repeal OF the enforcement. act
would permit the return Of light beers
and wines and such a step would
prove popular to a majority Of the
people, 1t is also insisted The vets
also are ready to believe at this time
that there Is little sentiment for a re-
turn Of the licensed saloon and those
in-the House are not anxious TO have
their friends start such campaign.
