MIR. DILLINCHAM'S
ATTITUDE ON
VOLSTEAD ACT
Senior Vt. Senator Writes
Ludlow Tribune on Effect
of Amendment

r*ponse to an inquiry from Edit
OF j. w. SAINT of the Ludlow Tri-
bune as to the attitude of Senator
W. =. Dillingham; on the Volstcad
act the Senator has replied as fol-
lows:
Editor Tribune:
In reply to your inquiry whether |
favor the Volstead act as it stands OF
. whether | favor its amendment, per
nit me to say that do not doubt
that in its enforcement defects will
be found in some Of its provisions,
which must be remedied by legisla-
ton.
But | assume that the amendments
you had in mind are those which have
been proposed in different sections of
the country, which will, if put into
operation, legalize the manufacture,
sale, or transportation of beers and
wines containing four or five and from
that up to ten per centum of alcohol.
The adoption of any such amend
ment would inevitably result in re-
opening the breweries which have
been closed and in re-establishing
the saloons which formerly existed,
thus creating conditions not con-
templated when constitutional prohi-
bition was made a part of our Fed
eral system.
The Constitution now reads as fol-
lows:
"Section l. After one year
from the ratification of this ar
ticle the manufacture, sale, or
transportation of intoxicating
liquors within, the transportation
thereof into, or the expectation
thereof from the United States
and all territory subject to the
jurisdiction thereof for beverage
purposes. is hereby prohibited.'
A fair Interpretation of the amend
nent can give it but one meanin%,
viz: that henceforth the manufac
ture, sale, OF the transportation OF
Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses is absolutely prohibited i'll
the United States, and such prohibi-
ton is as applicable to Intoxicating
beverages which contain but moder-
ate amount of alcohol as to those of
stronger character.
If am right in my Interpretation,
the adoption of legislation of the
character demanded by those propos-
ing these different amendments
would be, on the part of Congress,
unwarranted and futile. Its action
would be not only without authority
but against plain constitutional pro-
vision. The Supreme Court of the
United States has already held that
the provisions of the constitutional
amendment are binding upon all leg
islative bodies, courts, public officers
and individuals within the United
States: and that of it's own force the
amendment invalidates cverv lcgis-
lative act (whether by Congress or a
Territorial Assembly, which autho-
riZes or sanctions what the amend
ment prohibits.
This being my view of the SUBJ
ject, shall best able to support only
such measures as are intended to car
Nv into effect the spirit and letter of
the constitutional provision.
Most sincerely YOURS,
WIN. P. DILLINGHAM;.
